Within the model files, I found a version of the room that is closer to the trailer one (although still not exact!) This one has the old racks!

I also notice there's some humorous text on the boxes: GET SOME FUCKING CLOTHES.

Plus, the room where Jayde sits and blows bubblegum.

There are still some differences between these two versions. The trailer has different walls, windows, no text on the bottles, the boxes with profanity aren't present, and the mirror & CD rack that's still missing -- along with the racks rearranged. But I still find it interesting that this room still exists within the game's files!

Fun fact: In the trailer for Mann vs. Machine, Demoman can be seen with his beta dynamite emblems, which were featured in various pre-release material.

Some very early title screens, a muzzle flash effect on the player and a “shitty drone”

Originally The Birth’s opening video was a set of still images
