I would like to see a reincarnation of Biohazard Dash.

It would be interesting to play. As long as it isn't cannon.

Resident Evil was at one point a FPS ?!?

Is there a site just like this with all the information but in English?

[biohazard_star]

I think I heard in an old topic that you could only play as Chris in the FPS version. And yes, there indeed was an FPS version of Biohazard. It's actually the very first version, I think. Where the heck did you think all those wacky ideas like the Barry prototype being a cyborg come from?

[Helegad]

I found the cyborg Barry thing on Wiki. Where's the original source?

Hold on, if I find the YouTube vid, I'll link:

Which happens to be by fellow member imacwekser?

There is no other website like SurvivHor, sadly. The closest one was The Right Game but it is dead for years.

I made a few walktrough videos in English for my English speaking visitors. These videos use the biggest/more important informations from my french files.
As Gradon pointed out, you can find them at Youtube, under the "imacwesker" name. There is one walktrough video for RE1, 1.5, Ø for N64 and Code Veronica.

[Helegad]

imacwesker, do you own SurvivHor?

[biohazard_star]

imacwesker, do you own SurvivHor?

You didn't know?

[Helegad]

No. He should translate everything into a site like www.survivhorenglish.com or something.

[biohazard_star]

Information thievery. The very reason why Survivhor isn't in English anymore.

[Helegad]

Really? So the French was implemented like a code?

[Alzaire]

There are a few reasons why Wesker discontinued the english version of Survivhor. These include the fact that it was becomming too much of a burden to get it all translated properly and such and work on both languages. Also, as someone else pointed out, he became pretty frustrated with people blatantly stealing information from the english version of the website. Just things like that got to him, plus for a while he got tired of the BH scene in general and such. I'm sure he could explain in more detail about his reasons if he wants to.

[Helegad]

Oh, ok. But how can you steal info? Isn't whatever he has on his website public knowledge anyway?

[Borman]

When you claim it as your own material though, thats not right, nor is it really all that legal. If you wrote something, a book or whatever, and I stole it, put my name on it, and potentially made money off of it, I dont think youd be happy either ;)

[Helegad]

Oh, so copyright infringement? Okay, I understand now.

[imacwesker]

As biohazard_star and Alzaire said, managing an English version of my website took too much time (time I rater spend on the French version), there was the problem of other webmasters stealing my work and finally I lost interest in the RE serie. Right now, I care only about RE1 and RE1.5 and I don't participate to the topics involving the other games of the serie.

Oh, ok. But how can you steal info? Isn't whatever he has on his website public knowledge anyway?

Hmmm, don't know how to answer that... In french, "public knowledge" means "everybody knows it". The answer would be in this case "if people steal it from my website, it's because *not* everybody knows about these informations. In fact, *most* of the RE fans don't. So no, it is not public knowledge at all".
But maybe "public knowledge" means something different in English.

The point is, I spend years and lot of money to get most of the informations you can find in my website. The least people could do, when using these informations, is to credit me (a simple link is enough) instead of bragging "look what [insert name of the webmaster's website] is happy to exclusively show you". After 6 months, I deleted my English version of the French website and the stealing was greatly reduced. I just hate parasites.

The 2 most infamous stealing from my website are the translation of the Trevor's Letters in 2001 and the "videoclip" of the zombie head falling from the ceiling, in RE2 beta version, in 1999. There was a time when almost every RE fan website had both, and only a few sites like RE fan or THIA credited me.
