The armor types/upgrades were such a wonderful. What a shame they didn't bring it to the other games.

Wait, the fog was basically just a few snippets of Leon moving around some environments. That was considered to be a version of the game? Always thought it was merely a tech showing since the design and lightning was completely the same as with the posessed version.

Yes, the "Fog" version was the first one for the announcement of Bio4 after Devil May Cry was scrapped.

Then the hookman version happened but was never announced or seen (until after the game released), then the final.

DMC/4.0->Fog/4.1->Hookman/4.2->Final/4.3

The Castle version got pretty reasonably far into development.

The Hallucination "version" was just an experiment that never got very far, had no plot and had very little to it. It carried over the basic gameplay systems from the Castle version, but was considered a separate game altogether.

This reminds me I should probably work on their articles to clear all of this sort of stuff up.

Okay, played some parts of the Leon scenario and gave up after it wouldn't load the next screen. Just too much for my old PS1. But at least I got to play a game that I waited for like 12 years to try! Hopefully someone posts a vid of everything you can do on this and the "complete" version comes out some day

edit: Reading Horror is Alive, there seems to be much more than I got to work, bummer :/
edit2: and the videos and all places are already on the tube

I am enjoying this and can't wait for the "finished" version released by the modders. I've been fiending for some new classic Resident Evil for years now and this would satisfy me perfectly.

This is something RE has always needed. I mean,it's rather unrealistic for someone in Claire's normal clothing to survive multiple stabbings by whatever crazy monster they find!

It's a video game. And in terms of story, the characters generally don't get injured ever. The story makes a big deal out of it when they do (Leon getting shot, Ada getting stabbed/shot/crushed, etc)

The armor is nice, but it was removed for good reason.

Oh I know :p I was being a tad bit outrageous!

It is nice. I guess good reason would just be development -- it seems like a lot of work for something that doesn't add a lot of reward. Plus, it'd probably break the game, no, after a while anyway? ("I can just tank run through all these hunters!").

Im watching some guys, they streamed the 1.5 then now they're streaming the RE1 beta

This is the demo from one of the street fighter games, right? Or is this something else?

Couldn't sleep at all so I just kept plugging away at this. So so fun. Was about to go to bed and then randomwab starting talking about the Umbrella Factory, I thought the game was just the police station. Frantically fired up the beta again and I guess I forgot about hitting triangle in the debug menu.

Leon seems to have more cut scenes. Also Annette at the end in the tram is interesting. RE1.5 tells such a different story from the final RE2. So amazing.

So, wait, there's an actual ending to this?

Anybody having trouble getting this to run? If I put in a PS1 disc the emulator works just fine (epsxe), but if I try to run the burnt RE1.5 disc or an ISO version of it, it just sits and does nothing. I was able to get it to boot up once off of the cdrom but I don't know what I did to get it to run (which I believe was nothing...)

Any suggestions?

Epsxe I just ran it straight as the bin.
I didn't convert anything and it played fine.

Is there a coherent story in this? Cliffs? How does it differ from RE2?
Click to expand...

I have the scenario draft for 1.5 personally, it's quite different and yet similar in certain aspects (Annette is the one who caused the outbreak, Leon's personality is polar opposite, etc). I don't believe any of it is present in this particular build though, although there are a few event sequences and triggers.

There are a few differences.

I can't remember most of them though >______>

Ada's real name was Linda. Marvin played a much larger role. That's all I can remember off the top of my head.

What exactly is a scenario draft? Is it like the script/outline? Is it official? I would like to see it...

Actually, the whole Linda thing was debunked by the team, or at least, but the time of their build (roughly September 1996), they'd changed her name to Ada.

Basic outline and character interrelationship chart. The scenario was written by Kamiya (who devised the G-Virus in particular) and Isao Oishi, who filled in the characters and motivations and such. It was then taken over by Noboru Sugimura of FLAGSHIP and became what we know as BH2.

It'll likely be released eventually.

That worked, thanks!

Not really worth the time I spent trying to get it to work though. The thing is entirely unplayable and bugged out (which is to be expected I guess). I was hoping I could at least play to a certain point and get into it a little bit. Oh well, guess I'll wait until they finish it.

You can at least warp between rooms with select, then scroll between rooms. Hit triangle to switch areas.

I don't think I can say. Here are the excerpts I've posted before though.

LEON > A descendant of Italian immigrants. A common ordinary type who didn't necessarily have a strong sense of justice.

WILLIAM > An Umbrella researcher and husband of Annette. He knew the truth about Umbrella and was preparing to blow the whistle, but was killed by Umbrella agents.

ANNETTE > The wife of William and an Umbrella researcher. Driven into frenzy by her husband's murder, she scattered the T-Virus across Raccoon City.

Lame.

Are there any explanations as to why Elza and Leon start where they do in the game? Leon is on the roof so was he trying to escape in a helicopter (like the cutscene in RE2 Leon B) or did he get dropped off by a helicopter? Looks like Elza crashes her bike through the front of the police station but why? Do they know each other before they enter the police station or do they meet up in the police station and learn of each other there? I have so many questions...

RE1 beta? :eek:
Click to expand...
Biohazard beta sorry

First thing wasn't special. Just really really early. Showed the mansion with only chris playable and there was no typewriter and jill was there in the room but you couldn't interact with her. You couldn't leave the room. Couldn't run either.

Second one was Chris/Jill playable and no Voice acting at all, muted. You could go room to room but there was no clock in the dining room no emblem, no puzzles at all I think. Still had the jill sandwich cutscene trap part.

Jill could kick of a zombie's head and his brains would fall out.

A ton of blood covered the character if he/she died

dat gore!

reminds me of some early screens of tenchu 1, the blood in the screens was like a huge red mist and everywhere, toned down a fair bit in the final game with a different effect overall.

Supposedly Leon and Elza never meet.

I don't understand how 1.5 is supposed to be a complete ending to Resident Evil.

Is there someway to definitely beat umbrella?

Interesting if true, I was wondering if their scenarios took place at different times, like Elza runs through the police station first and then Leon goes through it. Even though the game is incomplete it does seem like they don't meet and the side-characters don't cross over either, except for Sherry. Another clue is that when you visit the Lobby as Leon Elza's motorcycle (guessing it is hers) is there already and the gates are messed up now and zombies crawl through, making it seem like Elza has already come and gone. The game feels similar to RE1 so I could see them making it so that in cannon both characters are there at the same time and escape but in gameplay you just experience it as one person while the other one doesn't even exist while you are running around (like RE1 Chris & Jill) and they don't affect each others' story lines like they do in RE2.

So wait, they obtained the beta version, hacked some stuff in and now they are releasing it?
How is that legal?
Do they have permission from Capcom?

Wow I played RE1.5. My life is complete. :p

Its a total unplayable mess though. I get frozen in menus all the time. Weird invisible cutscenes happen.
