Interesting videos. Although I don't think they're from beta 1, the two main things that give it away are the lack of the decapitated head in the licker scnene and the use of white Sherry over blue Sherry. But there are some things that suggest it's from the same era of development, such as the use of ROJI BAK, and the fact that Leon always seems to be on the A scenario and Claire always seems to be on the B scenario. You know, I don't think this is beta 1 but perhaps another beta which we've never classified before, I think a lot of the images that have been posted over the past couple of pages are possibly from the same build, a one that is further in development than the actual beta 1.

one of the most interesting things about the trial/beta 1 is this removed puzzle






i wonder why it's rarely mentioned, at the time it was one of the first differences that i noted.

It's meant to foreshadow the circuit breaker puzzle in the basement power room. It's worth noting that the evidence room originally had an auto-door with an electronic key card lock. It was changed to a regular key lock in the final version, so the need for the flavor text about the circuit breaker probably became unnecessary.

so originally the basement power room powered the evidence room door too ? didn't know about that

Funny the evidence room in RE3 on the PC actually shows the old electronic door from a distance. Hilarious how jumbled up the PC and PSX versions are.

Sorry for being off-topic, but I promise this will be quick!

Which is the superior port of RE3? DC or GCN?

My quick 2 cents: FMV were of higher quality in GCN. Backgrounds should be the same in terms of clarity on both consoles.

I wonder if this text changes once you correct the power in the basement? I've never checked ...

On that same note, it definitely reminds me of 1.5, where the power outages seemed to be a more important and prominent aspect for the police department.

With todays technology. Some very talented modder would easily make a beta 1 mod for BH 2. I dont notice alot of changes between retail and the beta.

things i noticed are:

-Some backgrounds got different angles and few different stuff on it.
-Characters got animation while they standing still. Leon has different shotgun animation related to the one he got on 1.5 (SPAS-15)
-1.5 SMG (HK something don't remember the full name)
-Different model for Sherry
-Different picture on status menu (Leon and Claire possibly Sherry and Ada)
-Zombie head falling down from the ceiling when encountering Licker.
-Marvin dialogue and possible some other dialouge (with Ada?)

BTW on those videos you notice 1.5 backgrounds those are 100% footage from 1.5 so it has nothing to do with beta 1. you notice by leon model looks different than the other part on the video.

Does anyone know if the footage of the head falling down during the licker scene is the only legit video footage we have besides that rugged low qual animated gif?

[GamerTak3r]

example these are beta status pics. I saw few different ones before including different leon but i cant find them now.

[doriantoki]

Cool. Never saw that Claire one. Strange how different they are than the final ones. I prefer these ones more somewhat. Can't explain why though.

Those beta mugshots are like: yeah boys and girls, don't do drugs! Stay cool like us.
