1.5

I think this should definitely be shared:

Basically, someone hacked into the Biohazard 2 Trial Edition and got the 1.5 model for Sherry.

Actually it's easy to obtain the 1.5 Sherry.just go in your cd and go in the PLD folder and find the look for the model.It's there.

Yeah, but you can't normally get the thing to function on the trial game now, can you?


I have one question. Did Hadder voice Leon in 1.5? I know it barely sounds like him, but actors can change there voices.

Do we even have a voice cast list for 1.5? I figured that if we can contact someone relevant from that time, we can learn more about the plot.

People have made countless mods for RE2 involving new character models and swaps. Most of them are for the PC version, but on the console front the BH2 trial is the public testing ground most people use (both probably 'cause it's a bit of a legal grayzone and because it contains plenty of random prototype content "in general")


Also, we don't know too much about the voice cast for RE1.5, but it's very likely that all recorded audio was thrown out the window and re-recorded with a new cast. (There have been a few "claimers" in the past who've said they knew actors who did recording sessions for it, but nothing ever came from it. No names, no info, no nothing.)

All I know is the guy and alyson Court who did Claire and chris's voice from RE1 and Final RE2 on PS1 actually did some voice over for 1.5.It's a fact because I watch the 1.5 videos from the BioHazard complete disc.

This makes it fact.

Probably just a room edit. The Pld 1.5 sherry was broken as it wasn't playable, I fixed it several years ago and released it for the pc, but because the NPC data was archived on the PSX RE2 trial, there is a good chance that the 1.5 sherry model is in working order as the NPC sherry. All it would be is change a few hex values in memory to get it to work.

As it is hard for me to read that, are you implying that the voice of Leon in 1.5 was done by Chris' VA? I listened to Leon's VA in that 1.5 video and I can't detect any vocal resemblance between Chris and Leon.

If that's the case, then surely its possible to find more functioning remains of 1.5 inside the trial disc. I've seen some people post videos of themselves hacking into the rooms of 1.5 IN the BH2 Trial with Final Leon running around them.

I know they had placeholder sounds from re1 as the attacked characters sounds from Jill and Chris but to me when he talks he sounds the same as final Leon.

The 1.5 rooms on the trial disc lack everything. They're just the background renders. No geometry data. No object data. No event data.

[BrionIrons]

the backgrounds could be useful if you wanted to attempt to make a 1.5 mod or something.

That is indeed true that earlier versions of 1.5 had Jill and Chris' grunts as placeholders for Elza and Leon respectfully.

However, I assumed that BrionIrons meant that actual spoken dialog for Leon in 1.5 was done directly by Chris's VA Scott McCulloch.

[BrionIrons]

yes that's what I ment Chris's VA was played by Scott.

No problem, Ray

In 2007, I have made 3 "videos walktrough", with Alzaire's help, to show all the known material related to RE1.5.
They are kinda old, so they are missing a few clips - mostly the videos from Curator/Goromacida, even if I have uploaded an enhanced version of the last one here:

Any plans to make a new walkthrough?

*btw wasn't 1.5 getting the horror is alive treatment dot?

Concerning 1.5 Leon's voice actor: there was an interview with Paul Haddad (voice of RE2 Final Leon) on RE Fan and the topic was touched upon, albeit briefly. You can find the interview here.

Before the final version of Resident Evil 2 was released, there was an earlier version which was different. This version also had Leon and the voice acting seemed to be complete. Was this also done by you and then you were called back, or did you only do the version of Leon we got in the final game?

I did do an earlier version of the game. I was then asked back, I believe a few months later to record additional dialogue. I have truly forgotten what changes we made. Fans of the game know so much more than us actors. How you find all these details is amazing to me. I wish I had a manager with those skills!

@ Harry Mason: Dot and Alzaire are working on a RE1.5 feature for THIA -and the community, after Dot'll be done with his RE1 feature, so there is no need for me to redo my walktrough
