1.5

[Enrico Marini]

I know Curator said that Elza's scenario spawned less enemies, but she also can't take as much damage as Leon and she finds less ammunition.

I know this line of enquiry is pointless without a copy of 1.5 to refer to but could it simpily be that the rooms/puzzels were to be finished first then the items/enemies tweaked after, and leon's scenario was a little more developed than Elza's? I know, speculation.

Ah the mysteries still surrounding the prototype.

Poor Elza, no Heavy Armour for her.

[Alzaire]

If I remember right the only difficulty info was that Elza's scenerio was as equally difficult as Leon's unlike the first Resident Evil Jill scenerio being easier than Chris's.

Actually, Elza's scenario was supposedly going to be harder than Leon's. But it's hard to say how it would have been without playing it and with how things change during builds.

I know Curator said that Elza's scenario spawned less enemies, but she also can't take as much damage as Leon and she finds less ammunition.

Zombies and cerberus seem to be more plentiful in 1.5, and apparently there may be a few areas in the game where zombies will infinitely spawn (or at least re-populate every time you leave and re-enter).

Enemies may take more damage, but that may be a buggy and untweaked aspect of the beta. Similar to how in the goromacida video, a zombie continues to move normally with it's head blown off until it attacks Leon and then just disappears - obviously a glitch.

According to the source who had the final beta, he told Inflames that Elza couldn't obtain the heavy armor, whereas Leon could.

Ahhhh man I just read through the whole goromacida/curator scenario.
I had no idea you guys went through all that shit.....sorry for dragging it all back up but I really didnt know it happened.
Anyway I'm sure he's not the only person with a copy of 1.5 and I'm starting to get a good feeling it will be released some time in the near future after reading all thats gone on and how many people are trying to have it released in some way

Question:

What do we know about the difficulty of the 1.5 beta?

If it's Japanese, then could it be easy like the original Biohazard 1?
Or is the difficulty ramped up like in Directors cut or Resident Evil 1?

Some collectors can be a bitch.

I believe ImacWesker took the Biohazard 1.5 in the wild video cropped it and put in prototype sounds. Can't remember the guy who created it (Was it goromacidia) but some guy played 1.5 on a PS1 with Hot Chocolate "I believe in miracles" and Michael Jacksons Thriller playing obliterating the games sound track. The original video was basically poking fun at the community that the video creator owned 1.5 and wanted a stupid amount of money for it. I may be wrong with my information. Been a while since I had to recall those events. I try to forget those dark times.

Lol. Found the original on my HDD. Should really start doing some spring cleaning on my drives.

also check what one guy on here is saying http://uk.gamespot.com/pages/unions/...union_id=15454 its 2 years ago but still i dont know wether to laugh at him or cry if hes telling the truth

lol.
Demo disks aren't different to retail...

[kiedistidus]

Yeah, I too like the Chris-model-with-red-hair used as a former Leon. This comes from the very first RE1.5 beta and is since long gone.
I also agree about the red and blue mood. It was a nice idea to start the game in one tint, and end it in an other. It's like we started the game in Darkness (dark blue) and end it in Hell (dark red). Kinda nice touch/concept for a videogame

Hey your that guy that posted up that video of someone playing re 1.5.....do do you know who was playing it personally?

[Rick Hunter]

I agree.

But what happened to those blue backgrounds anyway? They just suddenly decided to scrap the blue tone or was it some kind of in-game filter?

TGS Beta 1 will always hold some interest for me even if there is technically less game I'm sure the disc has lots of scrapped goodies to look at.

You're taking about the early version with a "chris" Leon where there were benches at the starting area in the lobby?

Actually, that's the version I'd want to play the most. That's what RE1.5 really is for me. The latest versions seem way too much RE2 like and lack all that "blue" mood of they early versions.

But I don't think we'll ever find that.

[kiedistidus]

on a slightly different note I've just found this website http://www.resident-evil-beta.de/betascans.html its pretty cool except for the crappy german-english translation on google.was just wondering if theres a english language equivalent?
they have some cool scans about re 1.5 and interviews with mikami about the game

Holy crap Ive just watched the psmuseums 9minute video of unseen gameplay....so we definetly know one person who has it!!

does someone still own the beta of 1.5? the one where leon has sorter hair and a slightly different uniform
Anyone seen this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO3Jp...eature=related
and has anyone been in contact with this guy

[Harry Mason]

So there are at least two versions floating around? The "curator" one (body disappearing, lack of marvin model, etc,) and also the last version, with voices, marvin model and those polished things?

If that's the case, if one of those versions is leaked someday, the other one will still have a lot of value.
