Some games get completely overhauled during development, resulting in the finished products sharing almost nothing with their earlier incarnations.

A build closer to the final game may have content not present in the data of the final version. Cut content can often be found in press kit material (screenshots, videos, etc.) or in appearances at conventions such as [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3]], the [[wikipedia:Consumer Electronics Show|Consumer Electronics Show]] or the [[wikipedia:Tokyo Game Show|Tokyo Game Show]]. Outdated screenshots in the instruction manual and public demos also fit in this grouping. | A build closer to the final game may have content not present in the data of the final version.
