Some cool 1.5 exclusive screenshots ;)

It has now been twenty years since RE2 was supposed to be released in the form of RE1.5 (May 1997).

I'm just as eager as you are PROTOBOY, but news has been scarce. We have no choice but to be patient. All of the right flags, and my strong gut tells me that it will be shown at E3 in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to see it!

Anyway, I have a question specifically for Gemini.

I'm assuming that this 1.5 restoration will be able to be played on the actual PS1?

I burned the 40% Pure Vanilla Build to a CD, but I couldn't get it to run on the real hardware.

It does play but you need either a cheat device or a mod-chip. Both are easy to come by but the mod-chip is a iffy subject as they are illegal.

The burned discs themselves alone lack to region code and burners can not replicate this. It's stamped on the disc with the game and can not be ready by a normal system. Or rather the code just isn't copy-able by a CD-R reader/burner. Mod-chips bypass this entirely and no region code it needed to boot a game.

The cheat device method is also a bypass. Though it's dependent on what type of cheat device you are going to use. Disc based ones need you to swap while some cartridge based ones do not. Some of the old Goldfinger carts could completely bypass the swap method. Some Calico variants could do this as well.

It would be really nice to get our hands on that build, whatever it consists of.

If we had the disc itself, we might find more hidden unplayable 1.5 rooms on it, most likely from the Drains but not the RPD. Oh, and the missing office (the Elza-specific or Leon-specific save room) from the Factory stage would probably be on that disc, since it had been recently replaced by the retail cockroach pipe (early version) on the Trial Version's disc.

Nah, that's the yawn theme remix that was put in the e3 video.
And also that footage is nothing new, you can even find the raw version online.

I wasn't talking about the music you can hear Jill, Wesker and Barry
from 1:15 onwards and part of the intro cymbal at 0:05

Ah yes, the infamous mix of retail and prototype footage. Very raw early retail footage, claire is using 1.5's Mc51, and Leon is using 1.5's SPAS

Sounds like someone is also playing re1 in the background, did they have re1 booths at E3 too for people to play?

Anything new in this footage? I don't follow all this 1.5 stuff as in depth as i used to but I feel like there's something new there? This was uploaded two years ago. Extended E3 1997 footage.

I asked to remove the PEPSI logo, just in case of any extra legal trouble. There was also a vending machine with a Coca Cola sign, now replaced with LeoSol Cola (I bet most people will catch the reference there).

always best to play it safe

Not to steal any heat away from the topic at hand, but is anyone else confident that the remake of Resident Evil 2 will be shown at E3?

I'm positive that it will be shown. It makes so much sense, being that next year is the 20th anniversary of the game, and it has already been in development for two years. Can't wait until E3 to see footage of REmake2.

The game will probably come out January like RE7, or the next quarter.

It's good to see you arround here Gemini
