Info about Resident Evil 1.5

Where is this written? You're talking about tags?

 

Yup, it's been on every video so far apart from the antiscam one.

 

well you never know maybe in this christmas or maybe in january

 

To quote B.Zork directly from a post over on THIA last month ...

 

I always get kicked to the first page of this thread whenever I click for updates... I thought it was interesting to note...

This thread was started over 4 years ago
The original person who started this thread has a whopping '7' posts to their name and hasn't logged in for over 2 years.
It's 81 pages long and has had over 170,000 views...

Now that isn't bad for a version of a game that probably only a handful of people have ever seen (excluding the Capcom staff who actually coded it, obviously)

Aside from 1.5 discussion, this thread has seen people banned, temp banned, a user who has built his own 'real' custom jeep based on the game, mountains (and mountains...) of rumors and speculation, claims and false claims...

I wonder if the original poster who started all this really had any idea what would become of his very simple question?

 

Here is the update to the project I released a few months ago. This is a Christmas gift for all those who have been following the scene for a long time, and those who have been eagerly waiting for the release of the teamᵀᴹ.

BioHazard 2 Prototype Database Project

Screenshots: The screenshots have been upscaled to 320 pixels per 240 pixels. The file format is .JPEG. This was done to enhance your experience using SkyDrive's interface. You will find 2 different categories of screenshot sets; location and graphical walkthrough. In the location segment, you will find the screenshots divided by area and, if too large, broken up among the different places of that area. The designations used were as official as possible; as such, don't be surprised to find some unconventional names that are not frequently used. Unfortunately, such was not possible for all locations, so some liberties were taken and I opted for designations that seemed to match the surroundings. The graphical walkthrough section is separated (one for each character). The screenshots are arranged chronologically. It's my personal interpretation of the narrative and gameplay progression of BioHazard 2 Prototype. The influences of my final choice were the retail product, the maps that were discovered a few years ago on the Trial Disc and the countless discussions that I read and participated in bioflames.com and THIA over these years. This is by no means an official playthrough, nor is it intended to be.

Below you will also find two more additional sets that can be downloaded. 1.) Contains the files released in SkyDrive in the genuine resolution (250 pixels per 188 pixels) and unadulterated order. 2.) Contains the files gathered in all of these years that were scattered in bioflames.com forums. I have included them for two reasons: they have a particular sharpness that helps to weed out details with less difficulty; they have been our source of information for 10 years or more. I have spoken with B.Zork and the THIA staff, and this release does not compromise neither the restoration project that the teamᵀᴹ has been engaging in for the last months, nor any leads on the final build that we might have in the future should it surface, respectively.

Special Thanks to Alzaire for clarifying some bits of info that were crucial to put together several segments of the graphical walkthrough.
Special Thanks to Inflames for providing us with these screenshots. This community would have never grown into this if he didn't have the kindness to share with us his exclusive material.

Magazine Scans: The magazine section has been updated. It contains the magazine covers of the respective scans. The majority of the covers have the same file format and resolution as the respective scans, but a few of them don't. Unfortunately, not all magazine covers were found. The new update is still missing the magazine front covers of Games Masters Issue #48 (November 1996) and Tips & Tricks Issue #37 (January 1998), albeit the last one has a back cover. The original uploader of Neo Issue #1 (October 1997) magazine told me that there was no front cover for that publication. I spoke with Lamont (from ASSEMbler) who offered to create a custom magazine cover for me. I was stunned by her fantastic work. She made an astonishing job combining a modern era logo with a vintage magazine design. However, please understand that this is not official cover. Nor would I have done this if there was an actual front cover.

You'll notice that the few tidbits from the previous edition have been left there. They are not a mistake. In the new update, you'll notice a couple more. I left them there for a few reasons. Part of what I find entangling about reading magazine scans of the past (written more than a decade ago) is reliving the spirit of the gaming journalism back then; the perception that the public had of these games when they were released, and how Survival Horror was defined in that time period. Some magazine scans sum up that feeling perfectly. The marginal magazine scans that you might have noticed that had nothing to do with BioHazard 2 Prototype in the previous edition were there because I found them while I was searching for magazine scans of BioHazard 2 Prototype. But there was a stronger reason why they were there left there. All of them have something in common: they display BioHazard betas from other entries of the franchise. They aren't covered extensively because this is not what this project aims for, but, I still felt it was my obligation to pay my tributes to, the people who uploaded these magazine scans and enriched our community with further knowledge, and the BioHazard betas not so commonly known by the lesser hardcore fan. After all, BioHazard 2 Prototype is itself an unfinished beta.
