True Story Behind Biohazard Translation Project

[Carnivol]

Actually, the entire book is fully translated. It's just that all the files are on my desktop and I haven't had the time to proofread it both forwards and backwards. Was kinda hoping to have that done a couple of months back, but things have been a bit of a rollercoaster on the work front lately.

(For anyone who's read the stuff that's been up for quite some time: You might have noticed that a lot of stuff is a bit "rough". Nothing was ever proofread or spell-checked before being put online. Nothing is directly "wrong" with the translation aspect of things, it's just that some stuff is written in a bit of good ol' "Scandinavian English" and some translated terms aren't compliant with the official Biohazard<->Resident Evil translations)

I think it's still awaiting Bjorn's tender ministrations, sadly.

What happened to this project is it still being translated I was enjoying reading this. Anyone have an update?

[Dot50Cal]

Yeah, thats the plan Ridley

I would probably say a lot of the later chapters, and I guess the whole story at this point, are non-canon. But its worth mentioning some of the things in a timeline. But the central plot (Chris looking for Billy) really contradicts the events in the game. Towards the end, Chris and Jill encounter Hunters, Zombies and Yawn in the forest and area surrounding the mansion.

Given Jill's reaction to the first zombie, I'd say that its disqualified.

There seem to be a lot of differences with REmake Chris' profile, though I haven't read chapters 5~7. And since this events are not depicted in any timeline on later releases, would this now be consider semi-canon as the RE UC or RE DC, or not canon at all?

And by the other side, will be the full translation uploaded once the RE1 section is online?

Thanks for that info, but I have sketched up a version to show you, how I remembered seeing those pages, they were more diagrams, but i don't remember them all so please just bear that in mind.

[TheSelfishGene]

This is part of one of the pages. There are a few more like this.

I read up on the Inside of biohazard book sold on eBay, I just asked a seller if it contains those pages, still waiting for an answer. The book is a Japanese player’s guide for Resident Evil Director's Cut.

[chris26]

Please, show me some pictures, I have never seen this inside of biohazard book version before, maybe they re-released those pages!

[TheSelfishGene]

Those STARS tactics pages sound like the ones out of Inside of Bio-Hazard. (This book)

2 days before the official release, I smell BS.

True story behind biohazard book

The limited printed edition of true story behind biohazard was the version that DOT50CAL described, it could have been shipped from Hong Kong or Bangkok, Thailand, and this special printed version did not have the removable blue & red cover like the Japanese jacket. It was printed on with a REVERSED GOLDEN EAGLE RIGHT FACED, not LEFT (the logo was uneven) and no CAPCOM LOGO on FRONT package or BACK. Also contained extra pages that were printed between the “Biohazard the beginning” and the “Words from producers on the game bio hazard” this artwork contained added information on STARS tactics on how they would operate on a mission example STARS – MANOEUVRES and STARS –ATTACK. Not very interesting but still a collectable for all. It contained a few pages of examples of STARS OPERATIONS TACTICS of this (note the pages were cropped wrong & in B&W) It contained orange & red, instead of yellow & white colouring in the pictures of the book “Biohazard the beginning” It contained some alternative artwork added to “Trevor notes” or maybe it was the story was extended. These issues all contained STAMPS on the FRONT or BACK of the book. I am not sure where from, but it had Asian pressed ink writing stamped on it. It had a date labelled 7.23.97, the game was released on the 7.24.97 in Japan.

[Dot50Cal]

Seven chapters, not including Trevor's Notes and the Shinji Mikami interview.
