Yasuhisa Kawamura (BH3 Scenario Writer) Interview - Questions?

[News Bot]

Today I managed to secure an interview with Yasuhisa Kawamura, the scenario writer of BH3. We will present our questions in 1-2 days. Here is his videogame portfolio:

Dino Crisis 1＆3 (Movie and Event Part Scenario)
RESIDENT EVIL 3 (Planning, Scenario, File Text, All Worldview)
RESIDENT EVIL 4 (Part Planning)
Devil May Cry (Part Planning)
Clock Tower 3 (Movie Part Motion Capture Assistant Director)
Meiwaku seijin Panicmaker (Planning, Scenario, File text, All Worldview)
Blade Dancer PSP (Quest Scenario)
RESIDENT EVIL DEGENERATION (Special thanks)

Questions will mostly be focused on BH3, with one or two about his involvement with BH4 (presumably the scrapped versions) and Degeneration.

Is it true that Nemesis was origionally going to be in CODE: Veronica?

I don't think he'll know, he wasn't involved with CV. On the other hand, I've never heard that myself, what's it from?

[Darkmoon]

I...don't know. I remember hearing it, but I have no idea where or who from. Part of a rumour that RE3 was a fairly hasty piece of work to cover delays in CV, or something like that. Sorry, my memory is fairly well cooked from that time period. But given he was pretty heavily involved in Bio 3, he should know if Nemmy was made superficially for that or brought in

What was the original intention behind Ada as it made it fairly clear from her epilogue that she was essentially changing identity?

What was the general opinion on Rebecca Chambers involvement within the storyline during Bio3 and why was she not given an epilogue?

[Reston]

BH 3.5 Question: I don't know which version of the BIOHAZARD 3.5 that he worked on but if you're going to ask for ideas on questions and from what we know so far on it, ask if he knows what the original intent of the airship was that was shown in one of the trailers and how it related to a biohazard. We know quite a bit on some stuff but no one seems to have any info regarding the airship. Would be cool to know what it's original purpose was.

Was there any plans in regards to checking out more of the RPD in Bio3 than what was already was? (Past the 2F)

[Rombie]

I would like to know if there was any scrapped scenario plans in RE3 because when the game was first shown some press were told different things from the finished result.

Additionally if it's of your interest as well aside from the cv question, which i also never heard, ask him what he thought Nemesis' background was from his planning. I expect it will be different than the final version others at Capcom crafted.

Did Mikami had involvement in the Script/Story of RE3?

Did Nicholai died (remember we dont know if Jill shot him down or not)?

Any info on that 3rd version of RE4? the one which had zombies in it.

Was Rebecca ever considered to appear in RE3? Why didnt she get an epilogue?

Why didnt Carlos got one also?

This. First RECV teaser, at 02.09 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2S-Dwe_fLA

[Darkmoon]

I knew I wasn't totally fucking nuts. Just mostly fucking nuts.

Er... I might be blind, but there is no Nemesis in that teaser, or even a mention of it. The text at the beginning is so vague it could be referring to anything. And again, Kawamura had no involvement with CV, so it's a waste of a question. However, I might reword the question. BH3 started development at the time CV was announced (making the "lol delay capcom conspiracy" thing a load of nonsense) so I could ask if there were any concepts that were passed onto BH3 instead.

[OKeijiDragon]

Did BioHazard 3 reused any assets from the original version of Biohazard 2 (1.5) by any chance?

What was the meaning behind BioHazard 1.9?

[News Bot]

What was the meaning behind BioHazard 1.9?

...because it took place chronologically before BH2. It was changed to BH3 because "1.9" would hurt sales. CODE:Veronica was originally titled BH3 at that point.

[LVL100 Merchant]

Holy shit I fucking love Resident Evil 3. Okay, umm...

1. Which Nemesis encounter did he have the most fun designing? And was he fond of any Nemesis encounters/entrances that had to be cut?
2. Were there any major changes to the development of RE3 when it became of full fledged numbered sequel?
3. Was there a lot of internal conflict/backlash at the concept of the final version of Resident Evil 4 abandoning zombies?
