Replaying: Resident Evil 1 (Original)

[Dot50Cal]

Ticks

They look a hell of a lot like the Drain Deimos in RE3.

I finished the German PC version last night. So now I only have the following left:
RE1 German PSX
RE1 Europe Saturn
RE1 Japan Saturn

[Sly]

Yeah, Ticks, you gotta love them. Shame they didn't make it to the Remake

A little something I whipped up.

Note that the green glass is just a square in the PC/PS version, whereas it is actually a round texture in the Sat version. :p
Also, what's with the bottles in the last picture ? They are only in the Sat version, that's strange.

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

Same here. Except for Jill and Rebecca, they look horrible. But the other characters look actually better in the Saturn version, especially Chris. The cube shaped bodies of the male characters make them look more muscular
And the Hunters are scarier with their poor textures, because you can't make out what they look like
Also, please note that the Saturn version's backgrounds are slightly sharper.
Maybe I'm just being nostalgic, but yeah, I do prefer the Saturn version.

Ticks... where did that name come from?

And damn lack of auto aim on the original PS1 edition + hunters straight to hell. (Dot, shut up!)

[REmaster]

Here's another pic of the "Tick"


as well as a picture of Chris's alternate costume on Saturn. Reminds me a bit of his early RE5 costume.

[Dot50Cal]

It reminds me of the "Leon" model they used in 1.5

[Canas Renvall]

I kinda like those low-poly models. Especially in that pic with Barry and Jill, it looks almost like cel-shading.

[Dot50Cal]

I just finished a Chris run on Director's Cut's "Original" mode. Its just the Japanese version. So you get 3 ink ribbons, auto aim and a few other changes. Most are minor, but those are pretty big ones if you ask me.

I love RE1.My most favorite.

Speaking of RE1.I check out HecRPD's Director's Cut Mod and it's looking great.Looks worth playing even though he's just adding the DC stuff that isn't in the PC version.

His Official Site for the mod-http://redirectorscutintro.webs.com/

[Darkmoon]

Has he added more than new music now? And it still makes me laugh that he's doing mods after all the shit he tried to kick up about Dark Biohazard...

[BrionIrons]

Actually I talked to him recently.he's working with Dominion on the alternate DC prerendered backgrounds and something extra.

He also told me that he sent an email to .50Cal and the rest of the THIA members Apologizing about how he acted.And also sent a present for the site.A nice RE1 wallpaper that he custom made.

[Darkmoon]

Dominion? Really? The boss usually doesn't give away his methods. I'll have to ask him about that later.

[BrionIrons]

I remember him say that he wanted to also make a recreation of the PSX RE2 demo.That must be what him and dominion are working on.

[Darkmoon]

As I said, it seems unusual. Dominion doesn't share his methods bar with people he trusts because of the potential for abuse (new beta found! Exclusive!) so it seems...odd that he would give them to HecRPD. But I'll ask him when I see him.

[BrionIrons]

It doesn't seem that Dominion gave any method to HecRPD,but sent files for dominion to modify such as .RDT files, .SAP files and .adt files for RE2.

If you want contact HecRPD.His email is h_ec_10@hotmail.com

[Darkmoon]

Not especially. He and I don't really see eye to eye. He insulted a few members and I found him...less than receptive to reason when he was here. I even recall something posted about me on BioHaze once, but I can't remember if that was Hec or just in a thread he was involved in.

Besides, I work directly for Dominion on Dark Biohazard, so I asked him instead.

[[STARS]TyranT]

Damn I wish I had more time these days, just re-read back this whole topic.

Many thanks to Dot for doing it, it's been pretty fascinating to be honest. I've been playing the original since 1997 and who'd of thought 13 years later (even more for others) somethings we still didn't really realise are still coming out.

Brilliant feature, thanks again.

[BrionIrons]

He told me back in November of 09 he sent an apology email to the THIA staff. Atleast he manned up and sent an email and apologized.He also wants to apologize to you Darkmoon.

Anyway he's said he's releasing the mod very soon.I for one want to to try it.

[Darkmoon]

Never got it. And, honestly, I'm not sure if it makes a difference. I've had appologies before, but too often they're hollow. Still, he seems to be getting on OK in most other places. Maybe it was just the single flare up. I don't know.

Hopefully this mod will be improved, though.

[Enrico Marini]

Wish I actually played my copy of RE1 Saturn when I owned a Saturn (I still own the game ). First time I've seen the Tick.

[BrionIrons]

would be cool to add the Tick to the PC version of RE1.
