I love how arguments are going on to further clarify something I'm pretty sure I summed up like a page or 2 ago..."I will stay behind, to gaze at the sun. The sun is a wondrous body. Like a magnificent father! If only I could be so grossly incandescent!"

Hallucination had amazing gameplay ideas that rivaled Silent Hill in the horror department, so it was another loss. Similar to Outbreak, they were ahead of their time.

What Carn is basically trying to say is that people forget the big picture. It's not just about 1.5, it's about the grand scheme of things. It may seem unimportant now and insignificant, but that's only because people just look at 1.5 by itself. Like Carn says, it's more about what more might be at risk from the company perspective. Does the person who leaked it still work at the company? If not, how long did they work there and what other things might they have stolen/kept without authorization? Where did it come from? etc. Sure, chances are the people don't work there anymore or anything. But they would want to know just in case. I think the main reason RE1 GBC might not have gotten any public issues from Capcom about is because I believe it was outsourced to some outside team which is now no longer functional and probably didn't have access to Capcom internal stuff like an internal team would. So little to no further risk. But they may have still looked into it and we just don't know. I imagine like many things that a lot goes on privately that the public would not be aware of.sigpic

There was no plot, they just carried over "infected Leon" from the Castle version and introduced a Jacob's Ladder setting of "is all this weirdness real?"

^What Alzaire said. And, regarding RE GBC, those two builds of it that are out in public one is the very same cartridge seen played on a GBC stand at a trade show in some old (TGS?) video footage and the other surfaced in a container (iirc) of random crap that someone auctioned off to pay a debt or something. And, yeah, the game was outsourced to the London based (iirc) HotGen Studios (who mostly did license games at the time and such, but did an amazing job with the underlying technical aspects of RE GBC.)

Originally posted by Eteponge View PostGood to know. So even if that Hallucination demo still exists somewhere, all there would be on it would be the rooms that we were already shown in the gameplay video, plus maybe a few more unseen rooms with more or less the same type of content, just enough for the small mansion testing ground experiment. And if they didn't continue to work on that vision beyond the preview demo, there's nothing but a short testing demo that may exist.PROJECT Umbrella - The BIOHAZARD/RESIDENT EVIL Compendium

I have a question why do capcom bother keeping these old builds of games if they are never ever going to be used , why don't they just delete them ?
one reason I can think is just because they can rip assets from it and make another game out of it , is that about right or would there be other reasons ?

It wasn't uncommon I would say in the large part of the 90s and even into the early-mid 2000s for companies to delete large parts of games or game assets after a game was completed and released. With the advent of HD releases, remakes, reboots, and expansions, as popular as they are today, this trend is starting to reverse. More game companies are holding onto old games and old game assets. Unfortunately a lot of the older 90s PS games fall into that, "it's too old to give a shit/give a proper HD treatment" pile. For example, retail RE2, if a remake were to be released, it would just simply be an entirely new game, instead of attempting to reuse assets from the original, which is just too old, technology wise, to be relevant beyond just a frame of reference. A more recent example of the opposite though, is FFX, which is getting an HD treatment, but lends itself much better to that process.
