The Leaked Manhunt Prototypes 

"Don't you get it, Danny? It's a Manhunt. They won't stop until we're *sourcebrew!"*

In the Manhunt 2 build some things to note 1. The cutscenes are now in game instead of pre rendered videos. 2. In Ghosts there's a cut mechanic of using a flashlight properly to find the syringe instead of just Opening the boxes, you can toggle the flashlight too. 3. Level design and item placement seems to be closer to the final ps2/psp build then the pc version indicating the pc version changes weren't some censorship thing potentially.

Thank god you're still talking about manhunt

No way! So the build 0.01 was a real thing, and not some creepypasta? Ayo 😱 Yossarian, The Goat

Manhunt will always be one of Rockstars underrated masterpieces. The first game was legit scary in like a primal way, and it wasn't even really a "horror" game.

Thanks for featuring my videos! It's an honor. I loved the Iceberg, and it's been thrilling to document the 0.01 build! I do hope that earlier builds surface someday. I'd love to see the original context for that cutscene of Leo in a wheelchair.

Manhunt fans will be eating good tonight!

Honestly I’d love to see more early builds of Manhunt 2 being released. From how much cut content we know of, it was a completely different game!

The fact we’ll likely never get a manhunt 3 will always be sad, but I at least hope that some day we can get a spiritual successor

I'm autistically obsessed with this series, thanks for the deep dives into it.

Certain games really were only possible to be created during certain eras and I'M very glad they committed to taking risks and making these unique games at these unique times

They finally hunted down the prototypes

It's definitely cool seeing how these looked prior to the final builds. Thanks for sharing man. 👍

I love how in the prototype version of Manhunt 2, you can see how similar Leo looks to Danny, foreshadowing that they are technically the same person. But at the same time, it could have been a prototype model. Or originally they were supposed to be brothers? Lots of theories could be made just from that alone.

so glad you made a video on this. was waiting for someone to properly cover it

Been waiting for a bigger creator to make a vid on this, feels like a lot of the usual people who cover stuff like this have been ignoring it or somehow wasn’t made aware

Woah, I've never seen an early build for manhunt 2. Thank you for bringing light to this. I can't wait to rewatch this a billion times now :D

Oh when the Danny Lamb comes marching in! Oh when the Danny comes marching in. Oh yes I want to be in that number when the Danny Lamb comes marching in.

I don’t want manhunt to fade into obscurity

Clicked immediately, bless you bro 🫡

I love that people still make manhunt content I’m a super fan of the game

Good hell. The execution animations for both games still hold up to a terrifying degree. They're so aggressive and brutal they make Mortal Kombat's fatalities look toned down. Man, if this franchise hadn't put Rockstar on a government watchlist we definitely would've gotten a new game by now. Such a great franchise.

The Director’s voice in the prototype sounds like the same voice from San Andreas that says “prepared to be vaporized” in the mission where you steal the hydra for Mike Torino

love the Manhunt series and that it's still being talked about

Honestly the unused menu looks like a reporter going through old reports trying to figure out how the events of the story went down and the lack of music brings a very uncanny feeling

I have been on a Manhunt nostalgia streak for the past few days, re-watching old Manhunt iceberg and beta videos, and now sourcebrew uploads a new video on Manhunt cut and leaked content?, fantastic!, so glad to see that such a niche and "forgotten" game still has a vibrant community til this day!

I remember there was a manhunt 1 beta blackjack execution in a Manhunt iceberg. Now we get to see the beta executions from the beta build

I'm so glad I played this (original Manhunt) when it came out. Still a great concept.

I used to play the original Manhunt with a group of friends whenever we’d have parties at their apartment. The only requirement was having the microphone plugged in. It was hilarious to see one person trying to be sneaky and quiet while everyone else made noise.

Thanks for informing me of this! I had no idea this was ever released lol 😅

The beta model for Leo reminds me of Claude from GTA 3 but with shorter hair

I'm with you and prefer the final James Earl Cash model too. The tank top in the beta version doesn't fit the narrative, the guy was just given sedatives to fake an execution so he should still be wearing clothes from the facility. It's not like he was at a minimum security facility where they allow inmates to wear outside clothing, he was on death row where they'd have him in something easily identifiable. Not like Starkweather would have set aside some clothes then dressed him while he was unconscious lol

So many years later, I'm surprised to see more lore of this game. Shame we'll never get a remake of this game.

I want to see someone make some sort of spiritual successor to Manhunt because I doubt Rockstar is gonna make another one since they now spent their time on RDR and GTA

really cool the prototype has been leaked

13:52 Facts. 22:30 It's still crazy how Frisbee's model was finally found in the leak, and a shame he was cut, he has a really cool design.

I kinda like the original look and atmosphere it seems much more desolate and scarier, even some areas seem to be more of a complete arena and little society like a black market almost rather than just abandoned parts of the city with street trash

I want Rockstar games to acknowledge the series, especially Manhunt 2. I wish they would sell it again. I'd buy it at full price!

Yessir more manhunt

the leaked protype has been really cool

"*What Seets Thou/else in the dark, backward, and abysm of time*"

Manhunt was one of my favorite game's growing up always hated that #2 has the cut scenes when going for the kill

he's back!!!

i think leaking them the same day as drake leaked like 300GB of his music was wild.

Few thoughts. I like the cutesy weasel. It contrasts surprisingly well with the overall dark and grim game's feel. Wish they found a way to keep that image somehow. IIRC The Project was associated with the government at some point (and most likely CIA) originally but were cut off, at least on official level, hence their need for funding from corrupt businessmen like the one killed in the starter cutscene of Assassination. The newspaper reminds me of a cardboard tube from Hitman Contracts. Also a very lethal joke weapon.

I love manhunt so much literally one of the best games ever made

Finally Something to Watch : )

I remember watching something about manhunt 2 and it’s cut story ideas and later that day the 0.01 beta leaks

I know this channel covers a lot of lost media I don’t have Reddit I thought I would leave this here I remember being in middle school this was pre covid I was watching a recorded episode of Gumball and when the episode ended adult swim started and after the bumpers the actual adult swim show started I remember it was animated similar look to king of the hill and aqua teen hunger force it was a parody of a generic sitcom from the 80s or 70s as it was the intro showing all the different characters with a song in the background I don’t remember the song but I remember after 3 - 4 characters of the family where shown a mantis with a flamethrower was shown he was also yelling which was different as the other characters didn’t speak right after his spot in the intro the recording ended this stuck with me for awhile as I always thought it was funny but I just don’t know what it was

I could be wrong, but the placeholder voice for Starkweather could be Dan Houser.

KILLER CUTSCENE

Awesome video and this versions are the beta from manhunt 1 and manhunt 2 are awesome i wish to see if rockstar will remake manhunt 1 and 2 or they dont have the power to make a remake of this 2 games even beta both games are masterpieces

*KILLER CUTSCENE* jumpscare

We got leaked Manhunt prototypes before GTA 6

it looks like they just threw claudes gta 3 running animation in the prototype

13:50 this was vital for the manhunt lore why did they take it out???

love the content tho keep going at it

Holy guacamole

MANHUNT!!! more content would be great but not much out there :/

I wish a build from the Vienna dev still exists somewhere... PS: Who the heck prefers the older Cash model over the release one?

It goes it goes it goes it goes it goes it goes.. GUILLOTINE EYUH

The jury main menu is peak!

I’m so happy I got MANHUNT 1 Platinum on PS4 I wish we can get Manhunt 3 but I know it will never happen🤬🤬🤬

23:39 AND HIS NAME IS LEO KASPER!!

Would you cover the Leaked red dead revolver Prototype too sometimes in the future?

CIA = Watchdogs.

Inb4 1 minute award

Love Manhunt

" danny its manhunting time"

Both manhunts are the only 2 horror games rockstar has made…let that sink in

if you play manhunt 2 early prototype, REMEMBER to play it in ONE SITTING. if you take a break, your game will crash.

Can you do a video on operationfreeworld

Balls

I love my manhunt content

I have both games

I hope Daddy Muta covers this.
