Info about Resident Evil 1.5

Seeing as some of the ones "butting in" on the subject are reputable and don't exactly have any ties to PSM/Curator (or each other for that matter), I'd say the odds of there not being a magical conspiracy going are quite high and Curator does, in fact, not own 1.5.

Yes. We're talking about Curator, someone who's for years covered PS1 titles, prototypes, etc. and always kept his word in terms of build security, source anonymity, etc. and always been respectful of his material sources for articles and content. People need to really wake up and realize that 1.5 isn't the only "major" title that has passed through his hands and not been released by him.

 

He put up an eBay auction for it for a few hours when all the shit was going down, that's why people think he has a copy, but he was just fanning the flames and being a general troll. He pretty much gave as good as he got in that situation, it was a bad situation but he brought a lot of it on himself, but the immature (sadly ever growing) portion of the RE community did start it off. The end situation is he doesn't have a copy though, not of 1.5 and probably not of some other stuff on his site, he just had access to document them and nothing more.

 

:sorrow:

That is true. However, we can either take the word of Curator (and the few people who have been in touch with him) that he does not own a copy, or, we can continue to make assumptions and accusations based on no evidence other than he has had access to the game in the past. Curator has already said that the game did not belong to him, that's all the evidence you need, what you "think" is completely irrelevant.

 

It all comes down to the waiting game. It's like asking questions during a movie, let's just sit tight and wait for the ending :smile-new:. If he had it he would not release it anyway, it's like asking OKeiji "What are your sources for the 1.5 documentary" over and over and over...

 

Can we ask what's the actual status of the documentary? #)

 

Found another couple of pages on 1.5 in some other issues I finally got around to going through (September article includes original build pictures!) -

Lovin' the scans!

 

Great !!!

 

Always welcome new scans, thanks!

 

YOU ARE GREAT! :biggrin-new:

 

For the fans

 

Wow, those are some really interesting scans!

 

That's it for the main article scans, I wasn't sure if anyone would want to see the Famitsu top game lists when they included Biohazard 2 during it's early stages of development.

If I find any other ones, I'll be sure to post them. If anyone wants higher resolution copies (I scanned them in at about 1200 dpi), then feel free to send me a PM.

 

Too bad, so sad. Was looking at that "release group"'s efforts as another chance, but it turns out the guy was just trolling everyone? Haha just saw that accursed video again, the 10 minute one curator posted.

 

This was all confirmed fake? Or are you just calling it that because it's not out yet?

I swear this whole thread just keeps getting more confusing as to what's really going on :x

 

The "fake or not" question is all up to our speculation, so any answer works: nothing would change in the end, it's all up to the wait game. Still, anybody noticed how the facebook links to those screenshots are dead? *mumble*

 

This is what's really going on:

- Contacts from an unspecified group has posted images on Facebook and revealed details of an apparent project to translate the game, modify it to fix problems and make it as close to final as possible. It was mentioned that a release date has been set and is planned to be released.

- We don't know exactly who is working on it
- We don't know when the release date is
- We don't know exactly what is to be released

- We don't officially know anything other than convincing screen shots were posted

So take it for what it is. Apart from this we don't know anything more, as nothing has been discussed publicly since. It's safe to assume that nothing is happening in the immediate future, but something might be happening somewhere down the road within an unspecified time frame. Weeks, months, years, who knows? Let's wait and find out.

 

I must've misread it; I thought some guy got some screens from his friend in italy or whatever, and made a facebook page saying outlandish stuff like releasing it and fucking with people, I probably just misread. If anything I'm the confused one.

Indeed, time passes on a whim if you keep yourself busy. That's what I intend to do , hopefully it didn't seem like I was one of those guys who was crying about the time that's already passed and is just pleading for the said item. Whether it comes or not, we'll see what the future has in store!

 

thanks for OKeijiDragon

 

Yes, I provided that and it's part of my documentary. But -- and goes for everybody -- don't get too excited. It's not coming right away. I have MOTHER 3 to do first.
