Quake III: Revolution is a port of Quake III Arena to the PS2 with content unique to this version. It features a single-player campaign with character stats and skins unlocked through progressing in the campaign that give you higher stats, new game modes, and new characters.

Hmmm...
To do:
There's a treasure trove of unused voices lurking in the SDTs. Lots of voices, bits of cut Q3A material, and even the unused voices get credited in the end. There's also fragments of greater crufty ambitions like Catch the Chicken mode, Nail grenades, Chainsaw/Powermace/Stungun melee weapons, references to climbable ladders, etc.

Chat Bubble Sprite

Q3R-balloon4.PNG

Since you can't have text chat. nor can the bots initiate any chat, this sprite goes unused.

There are also three chat bubbles from earlier in Quake III Arena's development, the last image also appearing in the earliest available prototype.

Early Loading Screens

A bare background with text, as well as a mockup image of a loading screen.

Early Copyright Screens

An image of an early copyright splash screen, reflecting an earlier interface design, and two placeholders for French and Italian copyright screens.

Company Logos

Unused static screens of company logos are present. The game uses videos for the logos instead. Bullfrog does not appear at all.

Catch the Chicken

Q3R-EADM6-Chicken.png

Remnants of a scrapped Catch the Chicken game mode remain in a level header image for The Keeper and Asylum.

Unused Map

Q3R-L MiniDM4.png

The thumbnail image reflects The Very End of You, but in reality the map is an earlier version of the first arena in Arenas of Pain. The interface's name for this map is Space DMZ.

Scrapped Maps

House of the Desolate, the first arena in Hero's Odyssey was slated to become a small arena map for multiplayer. Only these images remain.

Similarly, the third arena in Arenas of Pain where the Vadrigar is first fought was to become an arena for Single-Weapon deathmatch. The map seems fully functional, so it's unclear why it was scrapped, as it only seems to lack a thumbnail

The game also contains a few .arena files with information for maps and gamemodes that aren't actually present in the game such as Malevolent Cathedral, another map by Dan Haigh, who designed House of the Desolate.

Unused Skins

Quake3Revolution Hunter UnusedPortraits.png
The character Hunter has additional skins in LINKFILE.LNK with numbering that follows the pattern of other unlockable skins (which is 00 through 04 appended to the end) despite not being a playable character in the single-player campaign.

Quake3Revolution Hunter UnusedFeathers.png
The feather textures used for the skins. The alpha has been channel separated and is displayed below.

Quake3Revolution Hunter UnusedFaces.png
The face textures used for the skins. The alpha channel has been separated and is displayed below. There are four texture files present with the leveled skin name pattern, although one of them appears black when forced onto a wall.

Quake3Revolution Hunter UnusedBodies.png
The body textures used for the skins. The alpha channel has been separated and is displayed below.

Quake3Revolution Hunter UnusedEnvMaps.png
The unused environment maps. Judging by the portraits, the blue environment map (hunterenv03) goes to the blue skin, and the purple environment map (hunterenv04) goes to the purple skin. Judging by the filenames, these were to be applied underneath the blue and purple skins as an environment using id Tech 3's shader system, which would cause them to shift as the character's position relative to the camera changes, creating a metallic effect.
