capcom why NOT release 1.5?!

[Jill Lover]

I get your point and I know it would be a nice piece for a RE collector... but hardly possible. That's why I've given up requesting this.

[Darkmoon]

Why so impossible? It's nearly happened a bunch of times. Some of these guys hold it for money. When one gets nervous that another is gonna beat him to the sell he'll sell instead. The discs are worth money only until the game hits the net.

Capcom won't release it, I'll agree, but the game will be up for download one day. It's simply patience.

[Stu]

it was a great game, so everyone could be pleased:

When did you play the game?

- capcom (money...)

Yet again, people get misty eyed by nostalgia. You really think Capcom are gonna be raking in enough money to make it work bothering with just because a small percentage of the RE fanbase want it?

- bioflames forum (as a result for their hard work)

I mean absolutely no offence to the guys behind Bioflame, but Capcom is hardly going to see them as a priority.

Instead capcom gives us fingers.
I think that's how they treat the fans.(with arrogance)

If Capcom release UNFINISHED CODE (that is CODE that is NOT FINISHED) how do you think the rest of the gaming community would respond? Not just fans, but developers and publishers also. Again, you're over-estimating just how many people really care about 1.5.

Also, for the curator and others "colectors" for NEVER release it -
- i got two words for you...

And a great way of finishing. I'm sure those who do have copies will definitely feel like they want to release it now!

i think they should have released 1.5 as a tie in with resident evil apocolypse. that way we had the alternate timeline without angering the REFans...well too much at least

[biohazard_star]

That's why I've given up requesting this.

Well even if you don't request it, you know it will pop up sooner or later.

About the FMVs, I'm pretty sure most of them were already done when 1.5 was scrapped. I remember reading it on the Bioflames forums. It was a translation from the Research on Bio 2 Final Edition book iirc.

[Jill Lover]

Sooner or later I don't give a d@mn for this game

I'm not sure about FMV, though. I think they might have done them but they never put them into the CD. Who knows. It's kind of mystery.

[Zomby]

In my opinion people who won't give a "d@mn" for the Beta aren't real RE Fans ;)

[Guest]

Of course the game is different! lol

As far as I know,Annette would live lol

And Claire wouldn't exist
This changes alot the RE story

[Biohazard EX]

Wasn't Marvin white in that version? And you had to spend the whole game taking care of him, because he's wounded?
It was a cool concept that they should've expanded on. You know, having a character who's there for the whole game but dies, not because of monsters or explosions, but because of the infection. Turns into a zombie... That would've been cool.

[Gradon]

^No Idea where you got your info from...
But from screenshots of RE1.5, even off an emulator, you could see he was black.
Or that screenshot of the emulator was Kendo...I can't remember, it was on Bioflames.

[Biohazard EX]

Well, then there was another cop who was white, or something of the sort...

But I do remember that Marvin was supposed to be alive throughout the game...

[Gradon]

Yeah, he did survive longer, he was your helping character, supposedly you could play as him and Kendo, but screenshots only show him and Sherry as playable helpers, so that bit confused me.

[Biohazard EX]

Well, if I remember correctly, each character had two helpers. For Elza it was Kendo and Sherry, and for Leon it was Marvin and.... Umm... Who was the second one?

[Jill Lover]

No, Marvin was still black, but it seems he lives longer than in the final version. There were some pictures of him with Leon and Ada (who was wearing a labcoat) in the sewers. Also Roberto Kendo was in a different place, one very pathetic... he was like fixing the pipes... very odd. Elza's character was awful... some artworks claimed she was black-haired but the very early beta of the game showed she was blonde and during the game she was still blonde. Also, I really doubt that demo was the final version, some animations during the game awfully robotic. Like when Elza meets Sherry, she breathing was ridicously exaggerated.

Oh Zomby, not again with that thing of "if you don't like this, you're not a fan of RE" I don't really like RECV/RE4/REUC but I still consider myself a big fan of the series. ;)

[Biohazard EX]

That's right, Labcoat Ada was Leon's second partner.
Cause I was trying to remember whether it was Ada or Anette. And it was a combination of both, haha.
