I honestly would love to see more on the latter build...2F and 3F is that much more interesting to see what went on

It' honestly seems like he's upset because Marvin got access to something that Gem felt only certain people should have. He really has no proof that he even has it (saying "his videos have no lag now!" is no proof whats-so-ever), there are a ton of programs out there that record without lag you can find on the internet for free......

His PC is too old to record with no lag, he even ammitted that himself several times, but coincidencially he's now completely silent. Guess having something to do with Colvin isn't exactly considered as a positive thing, especially after all the mess he's caused to the community. ;) As for the no-lag question, Carnivol's got the correct explanation: frame-by-frame rewind and frame impression to AVI. No matter how slow your hardware can be, the recorded footage will always play at full speed because the encoding takes place after you're done recording a segment, instead of software like Fraps which encode at the same time, causing CPU overheat in most cases.

Anyone feel like this scene may have been orginally a 1.5 FMV? The cop looks exactly like Irons but with different clothes and it would explain what a helicopter is doing above the R.P.D. in the first place. In the original scene it may have been Irons on the helipad trying to get help and it then ends up crashing which would explain Leon's "Now what am I going to do?" line.

I still don't think Leon's so called "opening" words have anything to do with a helicopter, i really firmly believe it had to do with Elza crashing into the RPD lobby. There's no proof of a helicopter anywhere in 1.5 that i recall (correct me if i'm wrong though). One thing i did notice in this FMV, look at the weapon that cop is using, it's the exact same machine gun that's in 1.5 - I don't think it's that far of a stretch to assume some stuff was re-used in original release RE2 FMV's from 1.5 FMV's. Even if that scene was from 1.5.... Look at the setting, it's clearly not the 1.5 police station and chief irons wouldn't be wearing a normal police suit.

It's the Hunk MP5

[Dark Biohazard]

I just want to clarify, I have no a special emulator.

To create the videos of my RE1.5 hacks, I use the PC of a friend who is much more powerful than mine.

Regarding the helicopter, this is just conjecture on my part, but retail 2 does have a 3D model of a helicopter. Why is this relevant? It never appears in the main game. Ever. It only appears a the very end of Hunk and Tofu's 4th survivor scenario. I find that kind of strange. Why would Capcom build any entire (and it looks rather detailed) 3D model of a helicopter, if it wasn't intended for the main game, and only appears in an extra mode after the game is finished? Like I said, this is just conjecture, but I think it's possible the helicopter was completed at the late end of 1.5, and intended for the opening cinematic with Leon on the roof of the RPD. They later decided to reuse it in the extra game because, well, they had it kicking around, why not?

Police do not use Black Hawks, nor are they ever used as rescue helicopters. Safe to say there's no relation.

Why did they make HUNK's model? Or completely re-do every other model in the game? 3D modelling is not necessarily some sort of seriously difficult undertaking when you actually have the talent and experience.

Why not using his machine for the RE2 PC footages as well?

[Dark Biohazard]

Because is not necessary and I do not want to bother much, as my PC records pretty well PC games (although is not the best), just ask to borrow my friend's PC to record PSX games.

[Gemini]

Weird, you have only recorded two PC videos ever since the 1.5 leak but you always "bother" your friend for multiple footages of the real 1.5? Sounds totally legit.

Yeah. You can think you want man/women.

I just say you my method to record the 1.5 videos, if you not want to believe me, not care to me.

I will not reply you questions about this again, so, end point.

There is a way to tell in what circumstance that Leon said his opening lines.

When you reach Leon's position, look at the map, write down the direction. Then go to the lobby, face the front gate, where the hordes of zombies flow in, write down the direction. And, write down the direction of the crashed van also. See which position matches which.

Since helipad does not necessarily have anything to do with the helicopter, at that time, what was going on down the lobby or street may either be Elza crashed into the front gate, or the police van crashed on the street and caught fire.

When Leon went outta the helipad, he said "I've got to report this to the chief." or something. Obviously Elza crushing into the RPD was not worthy mentioning, so that may refer to van crash.

Leon is looking down at the entrance of the RPD.
