Unfortunately:


For the record, Enigmatism actually got most of the RPD right, sans a few errors.

I told you I am not Black~Crow, why do you all think I am Black~Crow when I am News Bot. All that happened is I lost my password for my account. I was saying Enigmatism is good to steal Black~Crow's maps, nobody likes Black~Crow, it is good how we don't have to remember him now ;)

Also Bzork is just my alt account, we are only playing mind games, we just want to make fake 1.5 for you all to suffer

You bullshit Enigmatism, you stole Black~Crow's maps!

Lucky he is not here, now you will be remembered for the 1.5 maps!

[Zombie_X]

Stop this crap Black-Crow, go away and stop dragging the board down. His maps may be based on yours but they are his interpretation. So chill out and go away. It would do us a huge favor and would actually benefit us as a whole.

Thanks guys, those were some fantastically comprehensive responses!

So i played the demo version last night. It was astounding to finally be able to walk around those rooms that i'd only ever seen in "Most famous cancelled games" sections of magazine and websites. As mentioned by others in this thread, there's a lot of mod projects that get launched on a wave of enthusiasm but then grind to a halt when the sheer amount of work becomes apparent. I'm really hoping that this project gets seen through to completion and the team don't get hassled too much to finish it quickly (although it would be great if it didn't take quite as long as Black Mesa did... ;) ). Fantastic work!

If I chose to buy a CD-R over a brand new car, I'd definitely make my purchase worthwhile by completing the game. I wouldn't worry about it... ;-)

Excellent summation, Enig.

[Enigmatism415]

does any one know how much of the actual game/story was in the incomplete version?

After years of painstaking scrutiny, we have a fairly good idea, yes.

From what we know of the final build, most of the dialogue seems to be present (but a sizable chunk is missing, and instead uses placeholders like "MARVIN 002" as subtitles, if any at all). We know that at least some of the dialogue was recorded, and possibly more than we think.

We know that the physical layout of the entire game was planned in advance (though it often underwent changes to varying degrees), and almost all of the rooms had backgrounds in various stages of completion. Some rooms may have never been textured to any degree (several of the main rooms on RPD 2F come to mind, along with the 1F East Corridor and West Stairwell). The Trial Edition of RE2 hints that the A-2 Elevator Hall, D-2 Shelters, and Ladder Shaft in the Laboratory chapter were in the process of being textured before development halted. Sometime between Era2/3 and Era4/5, RPD B1 underwent massive changes and the Sewer chapter was completely re-envisioned and rebuilt from scratch. Another mysterious room is the southwest office of the Factory chapter, which was erased from the Trial Edition, missing from the PSM build, and not seen in any exclusive Inflames images (or in any other public media for that matter); based on its size, adjacency to a confirmed office with identical doors and external fixtures, and the presence of a doormat, this room is most likely another office.

Will the team be able to re-create/re-build the entire game or will it just be a section of what was originally going to be Resident Evil 2?

The former.

Is there enough of the actual story known for them to rebuild the entire thing from start to finish or do we have reason to believe they may have to use some artistic licence?

Newsbot could probably better answer your questions regarding the plot, but some degree of artistic licence will most certainly be employed.

[biohazard_star]

The Trial RDTs only have some ADT masks and RDT boundaries present in them, iirc (and that's only for a few of them). Some of the "official" rooms (official backgrounds) in the leaked build could very well be using custom boundaries/RDT file made by the team, and we just haven't realized it yet.

Hi Binary,

We don't know much much of the story is there unfortunately. The team is rebuilding all the missing assets from scratch. Unfortunately some areas never existed in the 80% build, so they have to take some liberties. The same can be said for the story.

What what I wonder us if the trial editions rooms have all the dialog stored in them already. If dialog or item pointers are present, then it's make their job a lot easier. Maybe even missing even script?
