Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

[Dot50Cal]

Yeah, it'll be a bit later tonight (an hour or so). I gotta rip all the scenes I need saved from the current recordings I have so I can clear the HDD.

[Alzaire]

It's been an hour! Needs more BH streaming from the 50.

[Dot50Cal]

Clearing these is taking longer than expected. I will be playing tonight, its just a matter of when

[Dot50Cal]

A little something I whipped up. The Saturn version is like a cartoon almost. Every texture is so limited in color, size and they all seem hand-done, without any photo references.

[Beanovsky Durst]

Nice charts Dot , all the screenshots are taken at the same resolution? Saturn looks like crap. Oh, and by the way, the last batch of screenies seems to be corrupted.

[Vector]

Wow, the Saturn version really does look like shit.

[Dot50Cal]

Yeah, something is up with the forum. It keeps corrupting images I upload. The PSX is at a disadvantage there. All the others were direct captures (or in Saturn's case) an emulator. So PSX looks even better than that. All of them were run at their native resolution. I believe the Saturn version is even less than 320x240, but I can't be sure.

[randomwab]

There's something nice about the lower poly Saturn models. I really like the look of them.

[ValentineLover]

Anyone ever see this cutscene before?

Also, contrary to what I've been told you can be too late to saving Rebecca on the 2F Library. You walk in after 15 minutes and she just straight up gets decapitated in front of you.

A little trivia too:
What single cutscene has the most "variants" to it?

Hunter scene(?WTF)

[Skunky]

uncensored intro /chris smoking intro!
uncensored kenneth
chris smoking ending!

Ah, those were the days...
Back when video games featured REAL men!
REAL MEN who SMOKED!!!
None of these gum-chewing Nancy boys, like in todays games!

Back on topic... this is all very interesting Dot!
Will this be turned into a feature, so we don't have to cycle through this thread to find all the info and conclusions?

[Carnivol]

Anything that should be of interest will be brought over to the RE1 section... which of course currently has the launch date of "When it's done!"


PS: Your comment about REAL MEN reminded me of this (A little game called QIX, for the manly video amusement devices!)

[Dot50Cal]

Yep, All of this stuff Im doing right now is for the RE1 section. After this heavy play-through session, there will be several more hours spent on editing artwork so we can have the most comprehensive section possible. On the play front, I have to finish Jill Saturn version (right at the helipad), then I need to get the European save for Jill. After that, I have to decide whether we will be hosting the German version PSX save files. I'm not sure its worth it, considering its 1:1 with the Europe version so far.

[Becky's Butt]

This is making me want to finally play through all of RE1. I've only ever gotten through about a quarter of it.

[Dot50Cal]

So there is noone out there that knows the criteria to see the "gore" credits on the Japanese PSX disc?

The PSX Japan version has no credits overlayed on it on the video, but the Saturn/PC US versions (and even the Japanese PC version) have the English credit roll over the scenes. So what the hell?

Edit:
Ah, apparently:
"The actual credits are not shown because they were not part of the video data. They are overlayed ontop of the video, in the game. Here, you are watching simply the background video, with no text getting in the way. "

So that explains the credit roll absence on PSX, But still, how the PISS do I see these!! ahhhhhh!1

[ylj619]

right now me and my bro are comparing BH DC on the psp (PSN download) and RE DS.

I have heard that you need to let your co-workers die: forget Jill/Chris in the prison, and let Barry/Rebecca get killed.
On the other hand, I have never see this trick explained in any guide, Japanese, US or Euro, so I am not sure if it is true or not.

Makes sense specially with Jill.
You can save Barry from the underground but let him die at the lab, when the warning is echoing all along. You don't save Chris, Barry dies and you will have to fight the Tyrant anyway, so...

But how to make Rebecca die at the lab? I believe that's impossible, right? =/

[LeigiBoy]

yeah but if I remember correctly you can choose witness the death of Rebbeca

and again, if I remember correctly rebecca can die in the study and under the stairs, but I never had success in obtaining the death in the study

[Red Queen]

Oh yeah, I forgot about that... I could never see Rebecca being killed by the Hunter.

[Dot50Cal]

The way to actually see it is to see Rebecca with Richard (don't enter the save room where she would be), and then wait 15 minutes for him to die. When you return to the mansion she is in the library. If you wait 15 min before entering, she gets decapitated as you walk in.

Also, heres the edited background on the Saturn version showing the ARMS logo.

Barry also re-did some dialog for the Saturn version. The P42 encounter, he isn't as manic sounding (lol).

Seems like Jill doesn't fight a second Tyrant in the labs, only Chris.
