Info about Resident Evil 1.5

you have to press select on the inventory screen, then L1 and R1 to scroll through items/weapons. Triangle to give you more ammo, alot of weapons are glitchy and can crash the game

 

Protip: If you just want to re-ammo a particular gun, press select on an empty inventory square then highlight the weapon you want to reammo and press triangle until you reach the amount you desire.

Never go above 255 ammo as it resets back to zero again after that.

Oh and as Lionheart said, certain guns crash when you try to fire them. That's where save state comes in handy, be sure to save state before trying to fire a new gun. Different ones work with each character, and some guns only work in certain areas (I tried the colt and shotgun in the lobby and it crashed, where as they work elsewhere). Also don't bother with the flamethrower, it does nothing as far as I know.

I imagine someone will chart up what works where eventually once this demo has been picked clean by the 1.5 CSI team...lol

 

After Xeauron advice on pressing triangule to switch areas and enjoyed the whole beta it comes to my mind:

how small RE 1.5 would have been compared to RE2 is.
You can easily see how the game would follow: Police station -> sewer -> outside area -> lab -> train -> ending.

I know the lab and train are almost the same but since there's no itens or "get this to go there" it seems really short.
Anyway the game was really nearly completition.

I'm sorry if I'm stating what people said for ages but it's nice to be able to check that by yourself.

You can now acess an extra part of the sewers in the spider room, and actually fight some spiders. which don't do any damage i think. they attack you but i didnt go down to caution even after a minute or two, I also managed to see the other top part from glitching but wasnt near the door enough to attempt to open it

 

LOL!

So now there's a team of people modding the original version, and a (team?) modding the modded version?

You also need PSXfin emulator for this to work properly.

This won't get confusing at all...

 

how does this run on a real ps1 ? i been thinking of trying this out but how playable is it given the fact the project ain't finished yet? tbh if it feels kinda broken i think i will wait until the final project release is available rather than ruin the experience. as with any game i find the first run through the best
it's encouraging to see that this thing is really coming together
in the unreleased gaming world there seems to be a lot of built up hopes and let downs. i'm an old school resident evil fan and i have tried not to build my hopes up about RE 1.5 up until now but with this preview release i'm starting to get excited about the prospect of playing the finished version.

 

^ It runs really poorly on a real psx, use an emulator to have alot less freezing. I say check it out soon then later but this released build isn't really ""playable"" i have put around 16 hours or more on it ( trying to see if i can trigger events and such ) but if your hoping for a playable game (like from start to finish) then this isn't it. Also ( im sure you know this) but the game wasn't completed there is no magic version out there that's a complete game from start to finish once this group completes ( IF ) there project then that will be as close as we get to what Resident Evil 2 could have been, but i mean honestly we will never know what the developers really intend to do and how to could have turned out.

 

I have found the latch key and opened the locked door in the factory, heres how

Go to site d as elza (Room 306), trigger the cutscene where sherry escapes into the ditch. Then when you play as elza inside the factory (i think you are supposed to be playing as sherry here?) move the box underneath the switch and turn the power on. Then go to the bottom part of the room (not where the lockers are) and examine around by the door and it should ask you if you want to pick up the latch key, use it on the locked door and another short scene should follow

Also it seems elza first meets sherry in the garage, you can pick up the item on the floor (turns out to be the pliers, but you will have to be spot on otherwise you will climb onto thin air). After you get a cutscene where you meet sherry

 

Can anyone please post here the playable demo of RE 1.5 Im intrested to see the game (PS1 of course)

 

Hey nice find...

There's probably still quite a lot of secrets we still don't know about this prototype, it's all pretty exciting stuff.

 

Elza and Leon both meet Sherry in the garage, at the exact same spot expect in Leons scenario she run's away and slides down the sewer hole.

I found this cut scene to be some what interesting it has been said Elza and Leon never cross paths, but in the video I posted, you see Marvin, John and Sherry all in the first train car.... Leon then walks to the bench and stops there as if hes talking to someone on the bench.... Could it be Elza?

Is it not Linda/Ada?

 

i think i will wait until the finished version is out then. hopefully by then it will run ok on a real ps1.

 

They're planning on releasing a more complete 'DEMO' at some point I believe as referenced here:

So if I were in your position I'd have a look at a few of the ten million videos people are suddenly filming for some reason (I personally don't get it - everyone has access to it now) and wait for them to release something less disjointed and more enjoyable than the current 'mess' doing the rounds.

Someone has already started patching it to make it work better but it's far from a complete experience.

Patch details as seen earlier in the thread:

 

Watch until the end of the video, Ada is in the front of the train... The only person not there is Elza.

 

Isn't that Annette Birkin?, Ada wears shorts in 1.5. I think thats the only time you see her

 

tbh i aint spent much time watching videos of RE 1.5 gameplay or anything. it's one of those situations where i put it out of my mind and figured if it arrives then it arrives, if it don't then no dissapointment. i feel playing this build will just spoil the final version for me. it's like when you watch a poor cam rip of a movie and then later when you watch the dvd/blueray version it's not so enjoyable because you've seen it already but struggled to get into it due to poor sound and visuals.
it's great seeing the buzz this build is causing though

 

Anyone know anything about what the "Driver" in the shooting range does?, at first i thought it was just something that triggers the dogs to come out of the vents. but they appear whenever you get close to the vents

i mean that shelf next to the vents, if you "examine" it the game will say "there is a driver here, pick it up". And even if you pick it up it doesnt show up in the inventory like the other items you can pick up do (albeit with no model)

 

My bad ... I guess it could either be Elza or Roy then ...

Pic is from RE2 but it's definatley Annette who is at the front of the train

Can't be roy since he turns into a zombie pretty early on in Elza's story by the looks of it
