Some cool 1.5 exclusive screenshots (just like RE2, but a little different)

[Marvin]

Cool pictures, tnx man. Awsomeness.

[Rick Hunter]

Just to make sure, this time it has be released by the team, or still the same third party guy? If it's been released by the team itself, it would officialize the project.

Personally, I'd love to see a high quality screenshot of the item menu, or any of the debug menu functions.

Speaking of which, did anybody notice that the item menu in this build has English text for it's categories?
At some point during the development they replaced the English text with Japanese, judging from the pics of Inflames' source.

I really love how the item menu in 1.5 was completely revamped compared to the one from BH1 whereas BH2 went back to the original design, by the way!

(Both are in the same build): The English text and the Japanese are in the same Menu Items.

Great pictures.... There will be more. The english and Japanese text together is kind of bizarre......

Pretty sure RE1-2-3 had the very same approach about the ITEM/FILE/MAP/EXIT menu being in English while the rest remains in Japanese.

Yeah, they did!
The language mix is nothing unusual at all, the NEW GAME, LOAD GAME etc. text on the title screen is also in English whereas the typewriter menu is kept in Japanese. Looks like it's almost a tradition in Japanese video games to use bits of English here and there for common descriptions.

The reason why I got confused with it is because 1.5's menu looks so different from what I am used to from the released Biohazard games.
How silly of me, I should have watched the item menu in action during the video before I brought this up.

Guess I was just too eager to share what I thought to be a new discovery...

[geluda]

Interesting, fingers crossed!

Anyone noticed that the knife doesn't occupy an item slot, like RE4 or REmake?

[Gemini]

In REGC the Combat Knife occupies a slot like all the rest of the other items. You're probably mistaking that with the Lighter/Lockpick in RE1 and the Lighter/G-Virus/Lockpick/Picture in RE2. Still, it makes sense given how the knife is visible on Leon's model. Also, what you're referring to are definitively the daggers and grenades/taser batteries, which indeed don't take any room in your inventory.

Exactly, I think they are like Dino Crisis 2, they can be called with a different button, maybe with R2 he/she uses the second weapon equipped.

In none of the videos there is an automatic defence move when a zombie picks you, like in ReBirth, so is nothing automatic, maybe, lol.

[chrisliam2]

was it ever explanied in 1.5 why william transformed ? was it still because of hunk and his team ?

We don't know. Blind guess is that it's at least a somewhat similar scenario; Birkin basically getting cornered and injecting/infecting himself. But, to be honest, I think the Hunk stuff was added to the plotline for the final version, for all we know, Birkin's mutation might've been accidental in 1.5 - At least I get a more "tragic" (think Lisa Trevor-ish) vibe from what we've seen of him in 1.5.

Yup my bad about REGC.
I was confusing with Deadly Silence for NDS

MOOOOOOOOOOOTHER! ...I mean... SHEEEEEERLY!

The different call button theory is nice BUT there's a clip in curators video where he is fighting a gorilla in the lab and he has the knife equipped, he runs around with it equipped .... i'm not sure if the different button call situation could be possible since he is seen running around with it in his hand. We all know in RE4 your not able to run while using the knife.

[chrisliam2]

it might just be there to equip like normal but it wont take up an item slot like it would do in re1.

[gracik]

I don't know, but part of me doesn't want this released. Because simply put, the chase ends. No more guessing, no more what if's...no more wondering what was in this 1.5 build.

Speaking of questions. Some pages back you guys brought up a picture that had Leon walking with John, and Elza walking with Marvin. My question is, how does that fit into the story? Are they a side story, kind of like Sherry was? And play a factor the whole time, or would they have left after sometime? And I must of missed something or just forgotten, but whose John again?

[doriantoki]

The chase will never end until the 80% build is found and documented in its entirety. Unfortunately part of me feels that that may never happen, as we haven't seen anything of that build from many years ago. Not even an inkling that it is still around somewhere. The contact, along with the build, just seems to have vanished in mid-air.

Let me get this straight. An anonymous group/person is translating RE 1.5 into English and is drip feeding images onto Facebook?

I can only suspect they are translating it for the purpose of release as I can't see why they would make the effort otherwise. If they were to release ONLY the translated/modified version, the original Japanese 1.5 version they (presumably) own would retain it's value on the collector's market.

Am I making any sense?
