Hideki Kamiya Interview - 'New' 1.5 info (Rejected Sub-Plot!)

[Guest]

Just a couple of things, what is the "zapping system?" Also what are the watermarks in BH1.5? For example, only watermark I see in the PSM footage is the PSM logo.

Zapping-system is....well, you know when Leon partner up with Ada in the sewers (Retail version) and Ada got an AI to kill zombies and spiders without Leon's command? That's the Zapping-system....I think....

They're probably referring to the character zapping system (e.g. playing as Sherry, etc.). I guess that means the side quests you took throughout the game probably aren't as linear as in RE2, and could affect how the story unfolds.

[Guest]

If is that, so, it has a Zapping-System. Because Sherry goes into the factory and open the backdoor for Elza and John.

4)Hmm, speaking of that, was Brad ever in the picture where it shows Chris/Jill/Barry arguing with Irons over his desk? Great read.

[Guest]

Cool. Didn't you get the choice to switch to the other character half way through the game? I remember reading something about that but not sure where I read it, not sure if it was true or not.

when we already have virtually every piece of information on it possible. Rose-tinted glasses be damned.

I've got exclusive information about this game that you probably don't know about that I won't disclose until my final version of my Shat-Canned Legends Documentary of Resident Evil 2/1.5 is done.

Do you have a higher resolution version of that scan? We can easily get a translation going on it.

How does this suffice? =)



Could you be nice enough to translate this article as well? It contains mentions of the Saturn port, and an Nintendo 64 port as well.

Why did they cut this from the retail version?

[Guest]

Because they felt it was not interesting. FAIL

Interestingly, the woman in the lab coat looks like Annette.

It's Jill. It's not a lab coat, just a normal coat.

More questions have been translated.

According to Kamiya, Leon A/Claire B was meant to be the official path. Guess it's understandable where the contention in Wesker's Report comes from. They only started using Claire A/Leon B after its release.

Zapping refers to the actions of one character influencing the other.
For example, closing the shutters in the RPD. If this is done in the A scenario they will be closed in the B scenario.

There's a few more things like this, as well as some item pick ups from memory. But there's not that many things you notice. I think one of the Japanese guidebooks has them all listed?

Yes, but ironically it looks like the scientist. And also ironically, a little blonde girl is behind her, along with what seems a brother and perhaps a husband...

Thanks for the new translations.

In regards to the Famitsu scans, they apparently detail the basic scenario outline for 1.5. Talks about how S.T.A.R.S. were treated in the police infirmary (which was in 1.5, but doesn't appear in the final version. Bioflames has an image which calls it 'medical room') and later transferred to a state general hospital under police protection. Full translation should be done soon.

Great. Can't wait to read it.
