Biohazard (PS) promo video in Japanese CSG TV-Game Collection [VHS / 1996]

[OKeijiDragon]

UPDATE: Above is a re-upload of the Resident Evil CSG 1996 footage I uploaded in 2012, but at a higher frame-rate and quality. We can see some of the live-action cutscenes in more fluid motion now. A brief write-up of the clip can be found on my Patreon, Video Basement, which I released this under: https://www.patreon.com/posts/29044944

This particular footage of BioHazard (PS) was originally included on the December 1995 PlayStation version of Street Fighter Zero as a trailer for the game. The difference here being in higher quality, plus it includes the game's live-action scenes in a clearer, full frame-rate. Plus a clearer, rudimentary version of the inappropriately catchy Japanese theme song "Yume de Owarasenai," can be heard. The pre-release build shown in this footage is apparently from the October 1995 beta of the game.

I recently purchased a VHS tape from an eBay seller in Japan called CSG TV-Game Collection '96. CSG features lots of old Japanese Super Famicom, Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, NeoGeo CD, PC-FX (and I think, 3DO) games from that era of gaming. The games featured come from many various Japanese game developers that you can probably think of, including Capcom, Sega, Konami, NEC, MediaWorks, Game Arts, Takara, Tomy, and much, much more. Biohazard was featured in the tape.

The VHS tape was just delivered to my residence this past Saturday, I'm now in the process of ripping the entire VHS cassette. If you are looking for me to confirm certain games from certain developer, I can report them here. Now, I can't personally list every single game on this video tape for catalog reference off the bat as there are about less than a hundred games, whose titles that aren't in katakana I can't read, so you'll have to rely on the developer list shown (did I just wrote a catch-22 paragraph just now...?). I have a photo of the front label of the tape on twitter.

Alongside Biohazard (PS), I've put up a promo of Mega Man X3 (PS1 / SS / 3DO) from the same tape, if your interested:

Thanks for sharing! All I can really comment is that it's not the 1995-10-04 build as there's a lot more featured in that promo than there is content contained on that disc. Unless it's a mixture of two different builds, it deffinately comes from a later part of the development.

very good dude!!! the song is da best!!!!!!

[CrimsonElder]

Good beat.

The builds we have are just demos.

I know they are, one of which is dated October 1995. The point I was making was unless their is another build dated October 1995, this footage comes from a different part of development as the build we have.

Very smooth FMV, that's great! Thanks!

Planning to keep the tape, or will you be happy with having the rip?

The Yawn battle shows the alpha backgrounds, the bluish/purple ones.

I'll be keeping the tape until I someday possess some sort of HDMI-capable VHS player (bundled with DVD, Laser Disc, or Blu-Ray) that will allow me to record 1080p (upscaled or otherwise). I ripped this tape in S-Video 480i.

Videotapes can be recorded in High Definition without loss of quality, like Film Reels? Also it would be great if we could find the full uncensored intro with that framerate.

Wow, thanks man!

Maybe they made those demo versions with intent of using those to send for testing/reviews to the game magazines..... and both those early alphas actually came from full builds or close to full.

[BiohazardFE]

Thank you very much for this, OKeijiDragon. I saw a low quality version of the Biohazard segment some years ago, it's nice to have the full VHS to watch.
