1.5

[Harry Mason]

Well see, it WAS a best seller for Capcom, having sold a million units ALREADY during 1.5's development, and was their best-selling PS game as well as their best-selling 3D polygon game at that point (Which they didn't make a lot of at that point). Not to mention being one of the best selling PS games overall, at least in Japan.

While I agree that perhaps RE2 had less shock value than RE1, do you really think that they wouldn't use the supposedly high violence level of 1.5, as you seem to suggest, as a selling point?

No, because Resident Evil 1.5 started production to early for the original game to have sold a million units. It was the realization of the escalating sales that made management consider the series a success after crossing the million unit mark, thereby quality control stepping in.

fujin78, most (if not all) preview copies with Bio Hazard 1.5 now in collectors hands. Why do you think someone will release it for free? It worth too much.

I don't think the article in the magazine specifically stated where that is taking place, but just from known information, I am pretty sure that is the playable 1.5 at the PS Expo & E3. Those kiosks also match the PS Expo ones, so yeah. I'm still not 100% positive if it was a semi-public/public playable demo or if it was fully journalist only.

I don't remember many instances before the PS2 of a kid (not a teen) being put in any kind of real danger.

In Silent Hill, you spend the first hours of the game killing naked zombified children.

Not in the UK you don't ;)

Well, I think for the rule to qualify they need to 1) not be created by a powerful possesed girl and 2) not trying to knife your knee caps out. And 3) look human.

Kids, kids, kids. All viable targets and they aren't even zombified or monsterous in form.
Well to be fair the UK version got censored. All the kids still exist but are invisible.

How the hell did I forget Fallout? You don't just kill kids. You melt them into a pile of goo with a plasma gun.

What kind of dialogue? Looking forward to the video.

[s]Here's what I have now for the video, I'm finalizing the final version version as you read this. I'll make a proper topic of this on THIA soon, after I make a few modifications to it.[/s]

It's not the just the UK version, it's the European version. Then, a bit later the game was censored too in the US.

If you buy it nowadays on steam or somewhere else, there's a high probability that it won't contain kids.
