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

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:
