This game made my childhood me and my mom used to play split screen and finish most of the run. But I finished it and seeing others still play it I was shocked seeing it had no updates since the story ended and I didn't know that theese existed in the files!

It's so sad that they abandoned this IP. It's honestly really nice to see what the developers can do when not tied to a licensed property. Could you imagine what they could do for a sequel to this game on the current gen hardware? They could come up with and pull off some really crazy awesome shit. Plus, the characters were fun, and it'd be cool to get more story out of them.

[@Smol_Fofa]

Wow, I’m in awe of how much more ambitious the game was gonna be! It’s sad they didn’t get any further updates to flesh out the game, you could really feel the unrealized potential. I’m glad we still get to see this cool stuff though, great video!

I really wish they kept those extra mini games like the taxi one because that would insanely boost the replay ability of the game

[@BrickBusterVideo647]

Yeah I really wish we could play those hopefully someone could find early concepts for them like their idea rather than voice lines and a map icon I’d love to see the idea they had for some of those like paramedic panic that only have a map icon to see what could’ve been and maybe what could be modded in

[@gesp2742]

Ngl, this remenbers me the gta side missions. Like paramedic, taxi, Vigilante and the pizza boy mission in gta vice city

[@Themeparkfish]

Those taxi and Pizza delivery missions sounds really fun. Wish they stayed in the game. I also wonder what concepts for DLC did they have.

[@capt_nugget]

I think they had them in LEGO Marvel Super Heros

[@TheRWK]

Small correction: The harbor cops do appear as pedestrians, but they have unused icons which lead me to believe that they are unused PLAYABLE characters.

17:00 I believe the names in the cutscene were removed because the scene would've had to be a lot longer for the names to be read properly. This would change the pacing of the cutscene a lot and it was probably cut because it would throw off the scene entirely.

[@TheRWK]

That is a great point!

[@DFC4081]

In portugal the names makes sense

[@lettuce984]

Is It just me or would everyone be happy to pay to have all the cut content put back in the game as 10th anniversary dlc? (It’ll probably will never happen but we can dream 😂)

[@CraftyCopy]

Man I love Undercover, It's so great seeing the passion that people also have for this relatively obscure LEGO game.

i am so glad someone else appreciates this gem of a game! not many talk about it today.

[@Gab157_Italy]

Yeah, thats true

[@Sukainuu]

I grew up with this game, my god. I'm honestly happy this game isn't forgotten like I thought, such a good game. Crazy to think things are being found a decade later.

[@Bloxed]

Seeing that unused versions of the Chase Begins figures exist honestly make me think that in the beta, they would have been boss fights similar to prior lego games, hence why the final game only really has Jimmy Grossman and the Final Boss as boss fights.

[@clutchpowers_]

THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH FOR UNEARTHING AND SHOWING THESE OFF this was such an amazing watch!! By the way I hope you don’t mind me asking but for the TCB content that’s leftover, were the uncompressed cutscenes in the files by chance or is it just the LCU cutscenes that are in the files?

[@TheRWK]

Thank you and that is a great question! That’s a point that I would’ve liked to elaborate more on in the video. Unfortunately the uncompressed 3ds cutscenes aren’t in the files but the objects, all of the subtitles, and of course the characters, for those cutscenes are leftover. As far as I know, It isn’t possible to mod the cutscenes into the PC version because the voice files and animations are missing. Love the clutch powers icon by the way, I have a lot of nostalgia for that movie!

[@epicman2413]

The rubadub is actually used and it can be found randomly sitting on the coast of albatross island

[@TheRWK]

Oh really? Huh. I thought it was a breakable object in that case

[@JacobSYork]

It can also be found at the dock of that island with the lighthouse superbuild in the Paradise Sands district.

I really love this game and grew up with it, and this is just amazing. Honestly the game and your youtube channel are underrated

[@Irreve-rsible]

I am glad I wasn't the only one who thought of Isle Delfino when hearing the name of Isle Delphino. Thank you for compiling all this information! I appreciate it. I remember playing through this game years ago and loving it alot. I wish DLC would've been made, sad unfortunately.

[@NoobRager]

This is honestly really cool, looking at how remaster is essentially a combined version of 3ds and WiiU assets I myself have found a few things you mentioned in this video in the WiiU files but have never implemented them into the game But now I'm curious to see what I can do. Anyways awesome video and thank you for the A+ LCU content

[@NoobRager]

Also a few interesting things, the Traghetti is the same model as the canoe that can be found in Lego lord of the rings during the hunt for frodo section of the game, but it is laying sideways. Also the possible mission of Chase returning flowers to the secretary is interesting as it may explain why she has a somewhat crabby attitude to chase during the final version of the game. Also the Harry Potter texture of Harry and Hermione being wanted is actually visible in Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 in the Gryffindor common room if I'm not mistaken on a chalkboard off to the right, although the texture is slightly changed. Also the aisle delfino part of the map is interesting and I might check that out on the WiiU version eventually

[@SharkyBlue]

I love the video! Cool to see some stuff that you wouldn't usualy see in the game. Good to know that there's atleast one person still making vids on this game. Great job keep it up!

I really liked the video. You are probably the only one on youtube. who spoke in more detail about the history of development and unused content in Lego city undercover.

[@jajproductionsfruitcakefil8489]

This was great! I'm really happy there's more to hear from Frank, but I think one of my favourite bits is the unintentional double entendre when you jump onto the Bog and Chase says: 'Sorry, police business!'.

[@Tizyfox_05]

I remember “the chase begins” as my very first game on the 3ds when I was little. Once I discovered that there was a “new” version on the switch I bought it and it was just love. I absolutely adore this game, especially the humor of it. It’s just great. I finished it to 100% a couple of months ago and it was so satisfying. I game I always liked finally completing it. I just love it.

[@Jadushnew]

I love that you give this game the attention it needs. For me it is the best lego game ever and full of grandiose ideas! I hope from the bottom of my heart that we get a sequel!

[@faunaflower]

One reason the frantic fares mission was scraped was because it gave out studs based on the unused UI. With stud multipliers giving you pretty much unlimited studs, they could have thought it was pointless.

[@Bronson_07]

9:51 awww, I aldehyde knew chief Dunby had a soft spot! 😊 this game is amazing and they should re ad this cut content again if they make a sequel

[@xanderjacques5642]

would you ever consider making a video about exclusive things in the Chase Begins? because there's a lot of cool things nobody talk's about....

[@zaxseer]

I have Chase begins so yes it needs a look at

[@agentomecha634]

I never would’ve thought this game had so much sit content as well as sharing a few assets from LEGO Batman 2. I used to play this game a lot. It’s one of my favorite LEGO games of all time. It makes me with it did get DLC or a sequel. Great job on this video, it was a fun watch.

[@Bronson_07]

5:43 this police boat RARELY spawns behind the police station, I know because it happened to me a few times and it seems to be completely random

[@DavidKen878]

You editing skills are amazing and you videos are so well put together.

[@YoloMenace001]

For the thing honey says, im thinking that it meant there couldve been a police radio. Dunby says about getting donuts from a coffee shop or smth and the Red Cafe across the road from the station would server donuts (as we see in LCUTCB) which would have to be before the 2nd cutscene of the game where we meet frank who drops several boxes of donuts. Either that or we were meant to meet Dunby and Frank with Mayor Gleeson after we get off of the container ship.

[@williampulfer-melville8536]

Fun fact the main character Chase McCain is voiced by Joseph May who was the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine for the US Dub since the adventure begins all the way up to the last episode of The Original Series

[@user-lh3uk1li5t]

Man, this video’s great! It’s awesome to see how different a game from my childhood would’ve been! Also, this may be a dumb idea, but if the textures for beta Chase’s outfits are still in the game, his hair, and MAYBE one of the characters from Chase Begins that used his face, wouldn’t it be possible to make a custom character so that we may finally have a high texture version of beta Chase? Like I said, dumb idea, but who knows, could work lol

Considering that the 2017 remaster of LEGO City Undercover includes files for cutscenes and characters from the 3DS title, the Chase Begins, I kinda wish they would've made the campaign of the Chase Begins available as DLC for the remaster. Kind of a missed opportunity, in my opinion.
