Uncovering the unused content in PVZ1 - A plants vs zombies documentary

[@LtDarkRing]

Once again, a special thanks to NoobMasterPro for providing us with music for tonight’s documentary! Sound cloud link - soundcloud.com/wayfinder-170671906

[@Tailsfan06thezombieslayer]

Can you do unuse contact in pvz 2?

[@HDified]

dark ring is the kind of guy who would put spooky music on a pvz documentary

[@l-r9000]

Fun fact: One of the documentary songs actually is a very slowed down version of the supposed ice level theme!

It has been quite a long time sense a PVZ documentary, and I am happy to see a PVZ documentary again

[@Dr_Dan_]

11:47 in one of Gorges talks, he talked about a minigame that resambled "can you dig it" a lot, so its obviouse that this minigame was supposed to be a tutorial for the shovel. i dont remember why exactly he got rid of it, but i can speculate that he didnt want to make an entire level dedictated to digging wallnuts, so he made the tutorial segment a short setup to the much more exciting bowling minigame

[@Da.Liar-Pig]

So basically it's an alt ver of 1-5 level where you had wall-nut as a balling?

[@Dr_Dan_]

@@Da.Liar-Pig they reporpused the wallnuts into bowling balls. yeah most likely

[@brawlmaster0190]

43:33 Red eyes = Twice the amount of HP compared to normal Zombies Green eyes = 3 times,if not 4 times the amount of HP of normal Zombies That's my guess. Would be cool if there was a mod for that last one (because the one where Zombies have red eyes just became a thing)

[@Lupen69]

I'm pretty sure there is one, I think it's called the Giga Mod or something like that

[@qwazardmage4736]

Terra mod

[@brawlmaster0190]

@@Lupen69 Yeah,I know about it. And now there's another one called "the tera mod" in which the zombies' HP is tripled

[@Sleepy-Lunatic]

Half a year of this document being worked on and it did not disappoint! Truly shows much content is scrapped in most games, especially for PVZ. Nice job!

[@magiccardmaster9921]

IDK where I heard it from, but apparently, the spikeweed was supposed to degrade over time the longer it stayed out until it would basically do nothing and just sit there

[@lizuryt]

23:53 one of the prototypes was dated to exactly 1 year before my birthday!

[@yellowkiddo1333]

10:00 Actually Dark Stormy Night AND Bungee Blitz are the only two Limbo Page Minigames to have finalized Icons

[@ImaGreenBoi]

The unused Cherry Bomb is Referred as "Cherry Hover Bomb" which despite Costing 175 has the unique property of Being able to Hit Flying Zombies thing that the normal cherry bomb didn't have in the Early Builds and so in the final game iirc

[@justmemes9755]

Now I kinda wanna unused content from pvz 2, perhaps that could be a future documentary idea.

[@pustota7254]

Used content from pvz 2? You know that pvz 2 has a ton of used content

[@justmemes9755]

I'm surprised I didn't notice that typo

[@theleviathanbros8065]

Inadvertently the music in the background is surprisingly creepy. It actually gave me the chills while hearing it bravo to the creator of the music and I’m excited for the revisit of bfn

[@emaboxe15]

Pretty cool documentary! I've seen tons of videos about PvZ unused contents and stuff, but this is the most interesting and also complete! I want to ad somethings that i know and i want to share to you. The first one is that in the PvZ beta of december of 2008, when Crazy Dave gives you the plants there is a chance that he will give to you a sprout. This plant does nothing, it have the textures of a normal sprout of the zen garden ones. I don't know how rare it is, but i have found no videos about it and i remember to probably have just a photo of it, but i remember it clearly. The second thing is that i have seen a video about a very early prototype of PvZ. This video shows George Fan or Rich Werner explaining how PvZ works in a conference. In this video they showed a very early beta with a very early lown and very early gameplay mechanics, in fact in that prototype you will have a mechanic similar to the final levels of PvZ, but this time before planting you needed to have the amount of suns required to plant thst plant. Also in that video you can daw all the plants that George Fan drawn in action. Right now i can't find the video, but i will provide a link as soon as i found it. Thanks for reading, bye

[@UnstoppableChiller]

Did you that in pvz2, there was an unused world called "time twister". It introduced Zcorp zombies and was very excellent. Unfortunately, it got scrapped😢. This was then later used as the Icon for penny's pursuit.

[@Reevro]

time twister was never used, it was just 2 graphics and its name interestingly, it was present at the game's release

[@icecreambutstupid1873]

from what the community knows, zcorp zombies were never intended for time twister, they were made far after time twister was scrapped as penny's pursuit and arena enemies,

[@upland_subway]

Well i didn't expect a documentary like this in a while and this is in my birthday month

[@ToiletDuck21]

Am I the only one who would think it would be odd if the Michael Jackson zombie was in gw2

[@pawekarolewicz9113]

There also are graphics showing suprised bungee zombie, starfruit eyebrows (they still are present on some artworks), pc quick play menu, unused degradation stages for pumpkin and flag zombie's flag, unused coin designs and unused zombiquarium and zombie nimble zombie quick icons. Personally i think that zombie with dangling eye would be alternative, rare appearance for basic zombies, beacause some of them have tongue sticking out and this could be same case. I would like to see that in game, but i agree that it would be a little too graphic...

[@Taneo7]

27:17 happens when zombies reach the end of the heightened area?

[@TheTrueUltimateGenLifeform]

I would think the “dog walker” concept would be revisited in PvZHeroes, but how it functions would be drastically different due to the nature of PvZHeroes

[@VerseArchiver]

Glaze the roof💀 40:36

[@LtDarkRing]

What editing at 5 in the morning does to a mf

[@original_namexd5690]

That ice level was chilling

[@original_namexd5690]

Still pretty cool though

[@copy_studios]

Without a doubt, this video has been interesting, it is really impressive to see everything that was behind the game until what we know today, and what is still hidden without seeing the light

[@Harbin07]

Skip to editted part down! So misunderstandings wont happen. 6th world did exist in beta development, though it was unfinished, it was gonna be a night level with hills and a lawn. I dont know how would it work but if I remember true there was a video uncovering it. Where its only lawn concept is seen. The level did not work if I remember true but it was gonna get added to the game. I think George Fan once said it but idk. I only remember the concept for the 6th world did exist and was gonna get into the game IF THERE WERE TIME TO FINISH THE GAME! The things I just said are most probably true though 6th world's exlstence is 100% true except the claim that George Fan once said this might not be true. Edit: nevermind, after watching the video you found the footage for it, this comment was useless... Dont blame me xd I couldnt wait for the end:/ The BLAMMO! thing is also seen in one of the footage we have from pvz's development footage released by popcap itself or something where it shows the zombie dying to the danger zone, this is actually early version of the lawn mowers in old days way back in 2007 or 2008.

[@GWfan]

Yeah nice documentary! I made one as well a while back, but it didn't have the amount of editing as this video. Genuinely awesome stuff and content!

[@muhammedgulkan4235]

its funny how much the first games unused content affected the second game. even more than the stuff you mentioned. for example i feel like the dog walker zombie contributed to the existence of chicken zombie! plus a dog walker zombies exists in pvz heroes!

[@forfhm12royalskylord38]

Finally I was waiting for weeks for this

[@LKGamer.17]

43:24 Survival hard left the mobile port chat

[@Yqe-]

The dog walker zombie does not appear in Zombotany, it's just that since it's the first minigame, that also allows seed selection, most people's first instinct is to mod the unused zombies in to specifically Zombotany. However, the beta does have the Jalapeño zombie in Zombotany 1, which was removed in the final game, likely due to the fact the player hasn't obtained Jalapeño by the time they unlock minigames. Also, is that Antichamber music I hear in the background??

[@Yqe-]

@@yashbhavaraju5511 Uhh and that's also a random mod that doesn't have anything to do with unused content from the real game

[@snowpeagamingPVZ]

when you make a documentary I know my day is gonna a become 110% better. Lt the ice level actually had a level made it also had like the grass but ice instead like frostbite caves

[@discmanthecdlord]

Ah i remember when the disco zombie was originally a micheal jackson reference I still remember constantly calling him the micheal jackson zombie

[@fryedwaffle9921]

why does this guy play scary music like he's in a analog horror video ( love the content btw. I would really like to see a another BFN documentary)

2:44 no not again it's impossible to escape the geometry dash fandom

[@kaydenwilliamson4359]

The air raid minigame isnt entirely scrapped but the concept is. The air raid one is in the ds version but instead of fighting only balloon zombies. You fight zomboss as a gatling pea. I had to point it out

[@VictorFusion]

[@RipplyAnemone67]

If you look at the card section of the official guide to protecting your brain I remember it showing a zombot that had a more flesh like look

[@wolfy2863]

During the ice level demonstration, I was expecting a random jumpscare to throw me off.

[@BDoni261]

How many of these unused features are available via mods?

[@LtDarkRing]

If I had to take a guess, most likely most of em are available through mods

[@impachoblue1301]

Squash would cancel his animation if the target was killed, u can see that in Bloom and Doom. Also unused zombies also show up in Sunny Day. Interestingly, the propeller zombie doesnt totally function like the balloon zombie like I expected. His propeller isint popped, instead the cactus will stay standing up while shooting till it falls, and the magnet shroom can take its propeller. And spikeweed can kill the dog zombie.

[@filipcancel3676]

Yay, a new cool vid. Ps is it possible you know whether you'll make another out of bounds vid? I loved the original on your channel and ik a out of bounds asset that wasn't listed in your video.

I did find something odd about the Auto Respawn time, is said 0-8 in which i waited and it didn't auto respawned me, and Engineer's damages output can increase if he fire lots of the concrete chunks at the plants if some of them damage the plants at the same time

[@UnstoppableChiller]

They shouldve made more given plants levels where it would pick between 6-10 plants
