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

Heres a real question for you I've not seen asked that should be a good one. Are you guys gonna make it so more than one zombie skin can spawn in a room like retail? Also whats the chance of more than one type of enemy in one room?

[RMandel]

@RMandel - In any case, I assume the team already has it all figured out, assuming they have more 1.5-related "content" (aside from being in possession of the 40% build) that they'd rather not spoil.

I know. That's why I'm trying to limit myself to the database we already have. That's why I'm making it clear that what I'm doing is not associated with their efforts. If they're anything like me, they've got this mapped out the way they want it to go. I'd still like to have everything we know - or think we know - all laid out in easy-to-follow form. Who knows? Maybe it'll prove useful to somebody somewhere, until Team IGAS is ready to reveal their next major batch of RE15 magic and goodness.

As far as my last "walkthrough" problem goes, it's now resolved. There will be three more required trips upstairs in the RPD for Leon, and a fourth optional one (yours).

Trip 1 - Go to the 2F Radio Room and open the vent in there (with the Driver Tool) to access the roof. This sets Leon up for the Burning Van and all associated cutscenes/gameplay.

Trip 2 - Take the 2F Radio Room vent onto the back roof and then run around the edge of the building to access the Archive Hallway via the other vent. This sets up unlocking the 2F Media Room and all associated cutscenes/gameplay.

Trip 3 - Go up to 3F to unlock the Conference Room and get the (blue) key card for unlocking the B1 Parking Garage Service Bay door. Player also goes to the Chief's Office (and is attacked by the now zombie-fied Chief Irons) to solve the cityscape puzzle and get whatever special item is available there.

Trip 4 (optional) - This can only be done after the crate is removed from the Sewer manhole in the Service Bay and all associated cutscenes in Leon's game have played. Leon returns to the RPD from the Sewers via the Service Bay manhole (NOT the Lobby roof drop manhole) and goes ALL THE WAY BACK UP to the helipad at the top of the building. The crates at the edge are now gone (Elza and John have already pushed them off). Leon uses the side ladder to get down to the Lobby roof. Nothing here, per Biohazard Complete Video #1. As soon as Leon drops down on the barrels below the Lobby roof drop, however, the player needs to tap the action button for an item pickup. The item is obscured by both the sprite overlay for the barrels and the camera view - like the hidden boxes of 9mm ammo in other RE games ... and it's a Magnum. (Zowie!!!) The player will not get any Magnum ammo for reloading until they reach the Factory (awww!). Even so, that would make the Magnum available to fight the giant alligator in the Sewers - provided the player is smart enough to save it until then. Once Leon picks up the Magnum, he can then make the turn and head on down into the Sewers.

The presence of the Magnum would make your proposed side quest definitely worth considering. As you know, I've always favored an early Magnum pickup, but without the ability to get any additional ammo until much later in the game. This will do it without obviously contradicting what's in the old Bioflames RE15 database. It's not going to be easy, though - because that late in the RPD, practically every room and hallway is going to have multiple revived zombies in it (another event flag). Player is either going to have to be skilled at dodging (ala HUNK's game from RE2) or burn through a lot of ammo going for that early Magnum. Hmmm ... might want to put some ammo pickups near the outside manhole, too, to help make up for what Leon will have to expend getting there.

Of course, if you wanna get it the smart way ... you'll go up the Lobby drop manhole and climb up onto the barrels beneath the broken ladder, instead of going the long way around and dropping down onto them from the Lobby roof (hee-hee-hee). That is, unless the lid was on, and it had to be removed from above - thus forcing the player to take the long way around (as you proposed).

Again, thanks for the input. I promise not to bug you anymore, and I'll let everyone get back to the ... ummm ... rather interesting discussion at hand.

Zombie+cerberus+crow appearing together. 1.5 can do many more things than BIO2. This answers your second question. What do you mean with zombie skin? Zombies sharing same model but different texture?

[Darkness]

I just remembered the fat cop and the skinny cop appear in the same room together so nevermind. And WOW @ that. That's amazing D.Birk. You rock man!

[RetroRain]

Would love to see the lead pipe being used as a weapon, just like in Outbreak, alternate costumes for Leon and Elza (not replacing the originals of course), being able to shoot off zombies arms, just like in RE1, more vomiting-attacking zombies like RE1, the fixing of the firing range/dog attack trigger (the dogs will jump out of the vent if you are a foot away from the shelf. You don't necessarily have to pick up the screw driver). And, making it more scarier somehow, so the player jumps (maybe make the ventilation lid blow off the wall with the dog jumping out).

I'm really liking what I am seeing D.Birkin. Lots of potential here!

Why people kill each other when I take vacations from forum?

We do.

I created a GCC toolchain based on C and assembly. C code is compiled to MIPS R3000 and injected with assembly hooks.

You are making a leap longer than your leg. Many people does not mean quicker result.

Thanks @Birkin for the quick reply. very quick A bit brief though. Thanks for the few details, I was wondering about the compiler/injector. Another question what hasn't the team worked out?

You guys heard the phrase "Many hands make light work"? I guess our views just differ.

Sometimes when the right people get together and the stars, the sun, and moon align - magic happens. I guess that's what we have here.

[Borman]

Many hands make Resident Evil 6.

This thread is very entertaining, I mean gold status. People writing arguments consisting of walls of texts of a game from 1997. Why please, continue everyone for my amusement.

Are you guys still planning to approach capcom for a possible fan made psn release ?
Edit: It sound stupid but what does I.G.A.S stand for ?

Yea because capcom would so let that happen.

An old game, that is being unofficially and technically illegal (Reverse engineering their code is still modding), and a game they originally cancelled because capcom themselves did not like it, being released on PSN? That would never happen in a million years. They cant even please the fans with a game we actually want and keep releasing those trash games that barely resemble a resident evil title. Do you really think they would do this?

[blackpower]

What do you guys think about how Live Selection of Resident evil 3?
It would be interesting to introduce this modality in 1.5, for example when the zombies break the entry of the rpd, the player enters the Live Selection mode, in which you are asked to choose between two possible actions (do not choose between the two represents a third choice), each changing the direction the story takes. The time for choosing is limited before the player faces the opponent.

[Graco]

Won't happen. While they've taken liberties with very few elements in the game, overall they're trying to stay as faithful as possible to what was originally intended. It's supposed to be as if you just purchased the game in 1997 when it was originally meant to be released. You can see where this is going.

[News Bot]

Imagine if it was handled differently, if the files, formats, tools, and info was public from the start. Could have the most glorious public project ever. Everyone working towards the same goal. It would be done already.

It wouldn't change a thing.
