Some cool 1.5 exclusive screenshots (**As seen on TV!**)

[Darkmoon]

Thanks for getting rid of the troll posts. I'm accessing THIA on the university computers, and some of the pictures he was posting were unsafe for public eyes. Seemed a little too... crude to be Black Crow, I guess.

You might be right. It appears to be a couple of idiot friends from the US causing this trouble, judging by there IP's. They also don't seem to be using proxies.

Honestly just looks like someone photoshopped a window around the file menu we already have. The files in the list are all the same. The small picture size isn't helping to verify if it's real.

Better with real size? Mystery is no more mysterious. I did not steal from retail.

Hello friends, my hypothesis that in 1.5 there was another boss with its mutations (Salem/Golgotha)that would have replaced william bilkin in the laboratory, instead birkin in 1.5 to 2 transformations, in the magazine and in part by the laboratory that kills a spiderman (william birkin to a secondary role in 1.5 as for example Mr X), Salem/Gorgotha is a creature that birkin was to study.

Golgotha was rejected when it was just concept art, and as such never made it into the 80% build of Resident Evil 1.5...by the time they got around to making bosses etc Capcom had already decided to use "G" for the final boss, we just don't know what form this took

The player is not shooting exactly at the "green part", it's shooting at some black sillouette floating in the green pre-rendered part of the background.
And it's not just that. The fact that the room has no alpha masks, that there's a ruler in a textured wall (When CAPCOM made backgrounds, they were all white and textureless, and they didn't had rulers to measure the walls height, because they were already measured when they started texturing them) and finally, stuff doesn't match. I tried in every way possible to match the ladder, the walls and the water. Nothing matches.

Like you have to use a texture to know the position of your object in 3D space, some gives you the size too



Also there are specific tools to know how long your edges are or the distance between two vertices, know as measurement tools.

This is what happens if you scale an object (left) and then move its vertices to get the same dimension as the untouched one (right), pretty accurate for me:

Design elements from them were apparently incorporated into G's malformations though, iirc.

Judging by the way the sewers portion is structured it almost sounds like you would know about the Alligators prescence sometime earlier on and their would be some build-up and suspense before the actual battle. Kind of like how their was build-up to the Plant 42 and Yawn battles in RE1. Also kinda like the anticipation of the appearance of G in the final build.

Oh and at 2:49 you see a small clip of one of Birkins later transformations which looks very similar to one of the Golgatha monsters. Again at 3:21 you'll see

Long time ago, I draw a relationship between Salem/Golgotha and what I called "Reptile" (because, to my eyes, it looks somewhat like a reptile ). The idea, from scratch, seems to be that Birkin's body, after the injection of the G virus, went into several transformations.
- First you have Salem/Golgotha. Their bodies mutated and degenerated with each transformation (4 each)
- Then you have "Reptile", which body followed the same pattern. Capcom's artists created a whole set of transformations for each of the 5 mutations of Birkin. Here is only the art related to Reptile:

I assume that "4th transformation" halfway down is probably the final boss in 1.5? From what we can see in the VERY poor screenshot from inflames it seems to be quite similar to that drawing.

Edit: Also here's the 2 pics I am talking about one is on the train and another is on the platform maybe its fought in 2 different locations depending on who you pick.

Do we even know if we had to actually fight the alligator in 1.5 ? Looks to me like Neptune in RE1 or the Albinoid in CV.

Well I Inflames labeled the picture as "Alligator fight" or something like that but then again now that I think about it we don't any concrete proof of this I guess.

Birkin was experiencing the effect of the virus g on living tissue (reptilian) and thus creates Salem/gorgotha into a capsule of containment, a mysterious figure shoots at william and flees away with the sample of virus g, because Linda/ada was in the parking lot with a van of the umbrella with the B. O. W. Monkey ?



If you notice the eye is that of a reptile instead of the mutation of birkin then Salem/Gorgotha.

Is this the original scrapped story arch before they scrapped Golgatha and Salem?

[blackpower]

Birkin in 1.5 was one of the secondary boss (for example Mr x)the true enemy is fought in the laboratory, (Salem/Gorgotha) depending on the character you choose, according to my hypothesis, linda/ada wong the sample of virus g all for if to sell to the big pharmaceutical companies.
