Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to go to Japan and attain RE 1.5 80% build..

Become a John Titor, get it, then go back in time to before you got it, and leak it, then no one will know how it got leaked.

I'm genuinly shocked it hasn't leaked already but I am sure hoping this guy just so happens to have it!

" if someone were to go to Japan and attain RE 1.5 80% build.. "

It IS in fact this easy. In Japan, the 80% build is everywhere. Everybody can just get it. You just need to go there. I was there three times, but I was so drunk I forgot... It's really strange that nobody thought of going to Japan to just get it before...

I'll get back to you on this one ...

[Deathlygasm]

Hmmmm you making me suspicious buddy ;)

I'm positive that Capcom wouldn't care. I would worry more about angry collectors putting a hit out on me!

[Lanzagranadas]

Why would they bother? A 1.5 build was already leaked, before that two alpha builds of RE1 were also leaked, and did Capcom say anything?

A prototype build from a 1997 game doesn't mean anything for them now, it's just a broken beta that has only emotional value for long time RE fans and collectors. As long as there isn't someone trying to make profit from unreleased copyrighted material Capcom probably don't even care at all.

How do you know if it is in Japan?

[Ultimacloud123]

Simple. Go viral. Put it on several different hosts, torrents, forums and so forth.

As a torrent on public access wifi.

Just upload it at an internet cafe or something. It's an old game that nobody cares about. I'd imagine they'd only care if you released a WIP build of a yet to be released game, like RE7, since it'd potentially hurt their sales.

What would be the best way to go about releasing it to the public without getting yourself sued by Capcom? Don't get your hopes up btw, as this is strictly a 100% hypothetical question on my part . I'm just genuinely curious.

They would care about it as much as anyone cares about Survivor 2.
