It's definately not worth obsessing over. People have every right to do what they want with their unreleased prototypes. However, unless I can get to play it then I don't really want to know about it. Spending a load of money on a game just so it can sit on my shelf is not something I could justify. You can't talk about it without causing resentment & games only have a limited amount of play time anyway let alone unfinished games. More money is spent on emulating arcade games than console games, I think we're a friendler bunch.
Even if the game never gets released this is the biggest bit of information that has come out about it in quite a few years. For years now we only had a few magazine clippings and movie clips. Now we have a real gameplay movie and some first hand knowledge from someone who played it. Things come to those who wait. 1.5's day will come eventually.
It's situations like these where I'm glad I never liked Biohazard. Semi on topic: When you do your hobby as a job, it ceases to be a hobby. Game development is painstaking and fucking long, so of course these people don't game in their free time. I dick around w/ computers outside of work but for the most part it's different from what I do in work.
Getting on his good site somewhat, though still no direct response on if he is willing to sell it. If anything I think he'd ask for help on finding stuff in it. Which I suppose is the next best thing. I'll wait until after Halloween before making any more offers with some Playstation stuff I have. It seems something might be happening then, or perhaps it was a mis-understanding.
i read in the thread in the public forum that hes willing to get aid from a skilled player to make full-run vids.. should be the next best thing right? to be honest i dont think you guys have a prayer to flat out buy it from him. also id say RE1.5 isnt lost.. rather the opposite.. untill this surfaced it seems no-one was sure a full copy even existed.
Maybe that's why thier games are so much better than others... becasue they don't play other games, and thus are forced to create thier own visions, instead of adapting some one elses.
Well I wouldn't say that. AS I mentioned their aren't any legendary video game "names" yet from the curren generation that I described. Suda 51, is the only one I can reeally think of and his games are pretty kick ass. But, games like GTA probably involves a great deal of creative force famillar with others games. This explains the great amount of parody. What about the new bionic commando comming out? This original game holds fond memories for the director. These guys aren't famous, but there games are non-exsistant and bad.
Well, for those not following the topic (understandable, it moves fast), The curator has said he doesn't own it but was given the chance to play it. Given recent events here (first post) I'd say the likelyhood that someone here owns the disc is quite high, especially given that the curator was/is a member here as well. And let me just say to that person that if they feel the need to ever want to learn more about the game, or even consider selling it (be it for trade or otherwise) I would be very interested, both as an individual or if privacy isn't a concern, as a group (Bioflames).
well it certainly wasent public information anyways, whoever had it first hid it pretty well for all those years. bad wording on my part, i meant a fully playable copy, i know it was never released. dot50cal> post #32 in the 1.5thread in the open forum. http://www.assemblergames.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15863&page=2 i havent actually checked the PSM boards tho.
I didn't really want to post my opinion about that - imho ridiculous - situation, but I couldn't resist... Not wanting to offend you, ASSEMbler, but when I first read this thread, I felt like hearing a baby crying because it hasn't got his toy... Seriously, so a copy of Biohazard 1.5 was sold for $300. So what? What gives you the right to call the seller a twit? And why is it a tiny sum anyway? Maybe you were ready to spend $2000 or whatever, but that would be what it's worth to you, which doesn't really mean anything. From all I can read in this thread, it seems like you're simply pissed off because you missed an opportunity of getting it. You say it was sold to the first person who offered. Why wasn't it you who offered first? That was your fault, mind you. You can not rant about the seller because he didn't sell it to you after offering more either, and I think it's quite amazing to see that there are still people out there who don't put money above everything else. He had a deal with the guy who offered first, and he adhered to it. That's a good character trait, actually. Think how you would feel if you offered first and he later cancelled the deal with you because he got a better offer. And I don't see why it is "lost" now either. The fact that it is no longer within your grasp doesn't mean that it will disappear forever. It sounds a bit arrogant anyway as if you are the only person on this planet who's able to get hold of very rare prototypes. Hope I don't get banned for this, hehe. :icon_bigg
I still think ASSEMbler deserved it more only because of the community he oversees. Wow, it's just going to some collector. Whoop-de-fucking-doo, goodbye game, never to see the light of day. ASSEMbler's offer of more money only enhances this noble deed of his, to share the game. So yeah, it is true that some other guy offered first... but ASSEMbler's intent was more noble. Plus, he offered more cash.
We're you privy to the deal WindowsKiller? If not, I'd say you don't really have room to discuss the inner workings of it and not come off looking like you are spouting off.
He makes quite a bit of sense to me, actually. It's a game. It is not the Holy Grail (not mine, anyway, and if it is yours you might want to seek counseling). Just because ASSEMBLER HIMSELF couldn't seal the deal with the seller doesn't mean it won't show up again.
I might of missed something, but I'm fairly certain ASSEMbler never mentioned intending to "share the game". I was under the impression that he was just venting to the 0th bit his frustration of not being able to acquire for his personal collection an item he has been chasing for quite some time and was just within his reach before being lost to him. Again, I could be wrong, but nothing in this thread shows that he intended to release it to the public after purchasing it. It does suck to put that much effort into something only to watch the deal fall apart in your face and at a finacial loss to yourself...:-(
