    Sometimes the impatience and overall "scene drama" (to use a quote I've seen countless times over at the THIA forum) of the Resident Evil online fan community puzzles me... How long did we have to wait just to play a legitimate prototype of RE2 from this era in its production, despite so many people over the years claiming it would never happen? Even if Gemini and Team I.G.A.S. don't finish their respective projects, they don't owe me anything personally - I'm just grateful that a few die hards out there are sticking with their ambitious efforts. Similarly, it's fantastic to know that long after the rest of the world had abandoned hope, a few of us will soon get to sample what could have been of Sonic Xtreme as well, and I can only begin to imagine what the next huge discovery will be. To me, the possibility alone is definitely worth sticking around for!

    I really want this to happen but it's likely that they will never finish it, or only after 10 years. Specially since THIA = IGAS. Gemini's engine is turning out to be good (at least what's shown to us) but they want to do RE 1.5 AND a Bio Survivor remake. Doing both will bring the chances of those games reaching gold status to zero.

    He means that the main THIA Members are the Members of TEAM IGAS. Got it?

    Or maybe not? In reality IGAS is composed of private collectors and misc people coming from various places around the net, even the industry. Their identities aren't public for pretty obvious reasons.

    That's exactly what I think! It's really better for 'em to staying unknown.

    Oh, my. A cheap shot. No, several. It's no less than I would have expected of you, Gemini. I was perfectly happy where I was, with nothing to do with RE15 anymore, and this petty and petulant little statement had to be brought to my attention. Shame on you. You just had to bring me back, didn't you? Oh, well, as long as I'm here, and while I'm here, let's sort out Gemini's deliberate misstatements and get those "facts" straight. 1) "PVB" is no less an oxymoron than "MZD build." The term "plain vanilla build" was actually coined by DXP, in order to contrast it with the MZD build. All I did was abbreviate it. So while you're firing babies into the sun, Gemini, you need to fire your own handiwork, too. 2) You may be no spokesman, but it's common knowledge by now that you're D.Birkin. You were outed by the Mortician a while back, and he's in a position to know. I had come to the same conclusion myself, though, as had several others, all of us independently. We didn't do it by pulling stupid statements out of our ass, either. We did it by examining the public record that both you and you Team Eyegash alter ego have left behind. At least you didn't make as many mistakes in covering your trail as did Carnivol (B.Zork) -- who got so lazy that he was outed by a n00b. Back to the subject, though. It's not up to me, or to the Mortician, or to the half-dozen or so other people who came to the same conclusion, in the same manner as Newton and Leibniz independently developed calculus. It's up to you to prove that you're not -- again, given the public record. 3) The story of the multiple builds has always been a hazy one, and both deliberate misinformation and the usual snide asides planted by both you and your allies hasn't helped clear up the matter any. I actually took the time and effort to track that one down, and do you know what I found? I could only find the barest of evidence, and I emphasize BAREST, for two of those. Since the time I did that, one of those stacks of evidence has been conclusively disproven. That leaves one -- just one -- out of a rumor pool of five (not counting the PVB, which makes six), and that trail is over a year old now. Which one is it? I'm not sure. I'm not sure the guy will ever bite again. However, folks, Gemini and his fellows at Team Eyegash would like you to believe that if such information did not come down from them up on their personal Mt. Olympus, then it must not be true. 4) Part of my self-appointed job at the time in trying to find out the truth behind the finding of RE15 was to collect all of the available evidence - and I mean ALL - and try to sift through it, looking for commonalites and possible connections. Yes, I got some of it wrong. Yes, some of my surmises were wrong - but usually because the information available to me at the time was incomplete. Also, as has been since determined with true objectivity, a lot of my guesses weren't that far off the mark. Team Eyegash would like us to think that they are the end-all and be-all of all knowledge about RE15, but the fact is that they're not. There's almost two decades of data out there for anyone like me, with the time, effort, and will, to plow through it. And if, like me, and as certain others have done so before me, they arrive at certain conclusions that cast Team Eyegash in a bad light ... well, that's too bad. You guys always were and will remain your own worst enemies. You're the reason why the RE15 scene is the sad and divisive shape that it's in today -- not me. Trying to transfer the blame to me will do you no good, because I can and will ably defend myself. If I were you, Gemini, I'd stick to talking about what you do best -- coding. You are one of the best damn coders out there, and even I will sing your praises there. Keep your hands clean, and don't keep sinking down to this level at which certain of the THIA crowd insist on wallowing. I would like to think you're better than that ... but who knows? Maybe I could be wrong. And next time you want to make one of your little remarks, please leave me out of it. I don't like being dragged back to a scene I officially left quite a while ago.

    I must have a spidersense or something that makes me sneeze everytime someone mentions my name or something, since I magically appeared here to read this thread again the very moment someone's namedropped me in a post. Anyway, I just wanna point out, as an individual that's been around the RE scene since the late 90s or thereabouts, that the problem with any dedicated community is people like you, who're basically solely in it for the tabloid drama you're able to spin and produce. It's okay to not love something without having to be an ass about it.

    On one side, you have people who've spent a small fortune of their own assets in the hunt to acquire something, and that in order to do what I can only interpret as a nice gesture, given how some of these people have a long history of contributing to a lot of public efforts/releases of various kinds (and as far as I can see, they've never once requested anything from the public -- other than a bit of patience in this case), meanwhile on the other side; you have people like you, whom I've yet to quite figure out what it is you're even trying to accomplish; other than trying to make other people look like shit, 'cause you, yourself, are seemingly envious(?) or something of their efforts/accomplishments. Additionally, I still don't quite get what your beef with me is, but, hey, at least you're all inclusive -- since we're handing out random praise in our not-so-passive aggression.

    Anyhow, why hasn't anything been done yet about the amount of drama that pops in this thread everytime there's an actual update to either new findings for the real game or updates on IGAS' project? It's as if the mere mention of 1.5 turns people into rage infected monkeys or something. Is it basically impossible to talk about this game?


    Yup! The one and only massive 1.5 thread! :D

    It took you three weeks to notice the post. Then again, you only seem to EVER have used this forum to comment on this thread. Perhaps if you'd participated in other discussions in the past year and a bit as a member, you wouldn't have to keep reading it.

    Then why are you here? You can easily unfollow this post, if you're following it. Or just stop coming back to the forum - it's clear you have little interest in actually participating in the community.

    By the way, have you ever heard of paragraphs? Please use them. Your rant might seem less of a rant and more coherent that way. That's a ridiculously large block of text for anyone to plough through. Then again, so is this whole thread.

    Enough with this bullshit and bitching over this silly game, as for you Carnivol GET OVER IT ALREADY, I've already got over it, I'm not going to take a bitchy approach however like the one you did when I ironically praised YOUR RE1.5 Project in a sarcastic way (otherwise why ban me if I just praised IGAS?) Yeah you're silly, get over it, stupid game and stupid fan base.

    "Once a legend..."

    I wish you'd reconsider leaving the scene!

    P.S. When did I miss the confirmation that IGAS = THIA?

    I hope everyone who are honest truthseekers about RE1.5 are paying close attention as to how this furious little discussion is shaping up ... how certain people are (predicably) reacting ... what is being said ... and, more importantly, both what is NOT being said and what is being carefully danced around. As for me, I've wasted enough time here on this matter. I have only two more things to say, and then I will trouble the Assembler forums no more. Promise. One, I retract nothing nor do I apologize for nothing. I stand by the reports I made that there MIGHT be other builds in the wild, that rumor has there are as many as five, but I only found the barest of evidence for two .. and now just one. I will not tell you how I came by that information any more than the representatives of THIA/The Team will tell you the innermost secrets of their interesting little project. I have faith in the people who shared that data with me, though -- far more than I once had for those who seek to disparage and demean me, or to assassinate my character. Two, I am certain that there is going to come a day when hard evidence is going to surface of one or more of these builds as actually being in the wild -- if not the builds themselves. It could be weeks, months, years, perhaps even decades from now, but it WILL happen. When that day comes, my critics and foes, you will hear my laughter ringing in your ears. I will have been vindcated, and you will be the ones proven wrong. Until then, I can but wait ... shoulder the abuse you have and will continue to heap on me ... and go back to doing other things as I bide my time. I don't know who's going to do it - I know who would LIKE to be the ones to control that event when it happens - but it WILL happen. I am dead certain of it. You may now resume making fun of me at your leisure. I'm done here. Until then, folks ....

    You didn't really, as always. Most of this equation talk has gone "yadda yadda doo" and crapbaskets a loooong while ago.

    Is it maybe worth squashing this thread and starting a new one listing all of the actual information we have, rather than all the arguments and drama people like myself have no interest in reading through? I mean, how exactly am I supposed to keep up to date on anything anyone finds if the only new posts here are in-fighting?

    About two weeks of scattered updates. Mostly mechanics fixes and reimplementation of stuff that needed to be ported or that was never there to begin with (i.e. semi-automatic guns).
