Info about Resident Evil 1.5

So I've heard people talking about videos the guys working on this posted, but I don't know where to look for them. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

 

You look 3 pages back

 

You're using way too much imagination there. Who told you the editor is even functional? It doesn't take much to produce a dialog interface with no actual functionality at all in read mode with no code for writing, especially when all the program shows is a collision tab. Also, 3D boundaries don't include the remaining mess with RDT data, which contains a lot more stuff than collision boxes, especially if the format is anything similar to RE2 (more than likely it's a slight variation, given the STARS office screenshot). You make it almost make it's easy as pie, but dealing with RE engines isn't: usually it takes a lot more to get all the stuff set and working.

Unless this person is from the project team, it's all random speculation. We don't know what's exactly in there. Stuff like the female zombie could have been a one byte hack or a much more complicated work, so it makes the whole progress affair uncertain like everything else concerning this 1.5 restoration.

 

We can already see from the images and video what they have done and are capable of doing, such as modifying textures, swapping models, modifying menu art, editing lines of text, etc. If you ask me that's a fair amount of work and already massively contributes to the potential completion of the product. The speed in which the scam response video was made shows how efficiently at least some of the work can be done. The only assumption I am making is the effectiveness of their editing tools, but given what we do know I think that's a fair estimation of the development stage they are at, which was my point in the first place. There's many different difficulty levels when regarding a project like this and it seems they already have a handle on many important aspects, there's only so much you can do before you start making big changes and everything they've showed us lately suggests this is the type of challenge they're now facing.

 

And that's the only things we know. And that doesn't give an estimate whatsoever.

 

Kudos for keeping this debate civil. Personally, I like Gemini's incredulous approach, but I like Geluda's optimism and enthusiasm, as well. It's true that this could all be an elaborate hoax, but it's also true that some real progress is being made in the world of RE 1.5 hacking and releasing. After all that has happened in the community, I like to be cautious. So, I think Gemini's more skeptical points are valid, but I am hopeful that the Project Team is making the progress that those screen shots and video are implying. I guess we simply won't know until something major happens.

 

I enjoyed the demo because the combination of Leon and bringing it back to the zombie roots of RE was nice after RE 5. The game is getting very poor reviews though but I do like the darker feel they are going for.

As for RE 1.5, I really don't understand why a group would try and alter the prototype just to make it "playable". The holy grail of unreleased games certainly deserves to be seen unaltered just as the capcom devs saw it back in the day.

 

Woah...

Someone update me on whatsup. Haven't been on Assembler in awhile. A possible release? What evidence do we got that this is real vs. hoax? It's amazing to see how you dedicated few keep this 1.5 scene alive and really populated still. LOL kudos. :triumphant:

 

Just caught up. Well October 2nd is NOW! Do we have a RELEASE??? Lol. HIGH HOPES. DETERMINED! Got my Chris Redfield S.T.A.R.S. outfit on and everything! << *Points at profile picture.*

 

They could be releasing both the original untouched version and the "playable" version, who knows?

 

I do genuinely love the whole secrecy of this project, really has an umbrella vibe to it. Oh the irony.

 

Because, clearly, CAPCOM intended on releasing a prototype with tons of missing rooms and untested new code. Yeah, sure thing!

Fixed.

 

What? He never said Capcom would intend to release a clearly unfinished game, he said he would rather see the game in its "final" form (just as the Capcom Devs left it), rather than a mix of official and unofficial work. I happen to agree.

 

His message talks about the prototype and about releasing it as-is in its "unplayable" form, unless I'm ignoring some obscure parts of it. That's doesn't exactly represent what the CAPCOM development team had in their minds nor it does necessarily represent anything even similar to what a final build of 1.5 would have been like if released to the public. Of course, this also applies to this hacking project, but this is probably the closest "official" thing we'll ever get, especially if we consider CAPCOM is never going to be releasing a damn thing (they're even trolling with the 32-bit era extra costumes in RE6, yay).

 

I don't mean for this to sound rude, but you are looking at it the wrong way. Obviously Capcom wouldn't release an unfinished title, I understand that. It wouldn't be Capcoms fully planned vision if we got the last build, but neither would a 1.5 build that was unofficially finished by a team unrelated to the original developers, wouldn't you agree? That has nothing to do with it either way, most prototype lovers are interested in seeing where the beta left off and all of the changes. I love the Half-life 2 beta, and it is incredibly work in progress, nowhere near being done. Would I have liked it better if someone got that beta from Valve and attempted to fix all the coding, fix up all the maps/materials/sounds and make it a completeable game? No, I wouldn't have, I am only interested in Valve's work.

So I would rather play the last official build of 1.5 made by Capcom, not a completely "finished" version by a 3rd party. Not to say that the latter would be a bad thing, but if they released only that, it would.

Also, after re-reading a lot, I am confused. I originally thought that some team had a 1.5 build and was working on finishing it, but if this is a completely custom thing than that would be different.

 

Capcom has purposely lose it ??

 

I liked Leon's scenario a lot but i despised Chris', Sherry's was a mediocre middle ground with fiddly ass camera and controls from the start. Great to know it's getting poor reviews though because my copy just shipped today! I'm regretting this purchase already :witless: Actually it sort of makes me happy that the reviewers who praised RE4+5 are polarized on it, that to me is a good sign.

They i believe have said somewhere they intend to release it unaltered and fixed up? Someone might have made that up but it was definitely mentioned at one point.

 

To me, it sounds like they've said a whole lot of good ol' absolutely nothing and people are just spinning the rumor mill at full force after a few shots shoved up. (As has always been the case with the RE community and how they process information)

 

But but but, I heard that on the 10th day of the 11th month at 10 minutes past the 5th hour that they would release half a picture! HALF! Can't explain that!

 

Remember the White Umbrella days when things were a tad more relaxed? Now i feel old, when's Umbrella Rising coming out?
