Interesting finds in RE4

Been hacking away at this one for a while, I've found some interesting items which you can equip. One of them is Leons Bio 3.5 "power" where time slows down. So technically this is in the right section :nod: .

You can read about it all here but a video speaks a thousand words. So instead of killing my sites bandwidth for the month heres a youtube link:

Yeah, those is some great findings Dot, I still wonder why Capcom never clears thier disks of this extra stuff. I suppose it is too meticioulous or somthing. Anyway, great finds dude, I cant wait for the GS code though, I want to try those out myself!

This reminds me, have you tried hacking the PS2 demo?

 

Just because something is "unused" doesnt mean that removing it is not going to break something somewhere. Unless removing it has benifits (e.g. speeds up game, makes things run better, takes less RAM or something), why bother?

 

After the hot coffee incident, you can expect to see a lot more developers wiping unused data off of released games... protos/betas/alphas are all still fair game however.

I haven't had a chance to read the full article, but nice job!

 

I feel screwed. I preordered the limited editions for the GC and PS2 from Gamestop and I didn't receive any demo discs. Lousy Gamestop bastards.

 

what's the hot coffee incident?

 

You have got to be joking? The hot coffee incident was when someone figured out a way to "unlock" the part of the game that the devs coded out (a video that even in development the female executive said was too bad). It started out on PS2, by using a cheat disk that would allow you to play a hidden video that was only accessible using the cheat disk. Some parents got pissed and went complaining to the press, saying how bad the devs were, and how they should be shutdown for this, and of course blaming the gaming industry for all of their children’s problems, and bringing all the crap back about other incidents that were somehow magically related back to games. Then they were able to complain enough to the press, and Rockstar, so the game retailers pulled all games off the shelf because the ESRB made Rockstar change the rating to AO. Then the game devs had to go back to the dev room, and re make parts of the game, which made them spend a fortune in time and money. Then they re-released the game with the M rating. They were sued a few times in the process (who isn't in the industry when something likes this happens) and since then Rockstar has maintained their "award" of most controversial games ever. Rockstar rocks, and they have some of the best games ever. It used to be that if a company changed their mind during development, they rather than spend all the time recoding the game to completely remove the part they decided against, they would simply add another section of small code, or code out the part they were removing. This saved them time and money because they wouldn’t have to re adjust everything for the newly removed piece. This also left stuff for modders, and hackers to find and play with, hence the Hot Coffee mod. I hope this was helpful.

 

It started out on PC, not PS2 They would have never seen the content without the PC being the test

 

Oh ok, I must have missed that part. I didn't know they made that for pc though.

 

The Grand Theft Auto San Andreas sex mini-game. You see poor quality models doing suggestive motions with suggestive sound effects. It's the "hot coffee" mod because the girlfriend will ask you in for coffee.

The RE4 stuff is neat, I really enjoyed RE4 and can't wait to see RE5.

 

They may have left the code in (either so it doesn't wreck something else) but also possibly they were considering implementing it and eventually chose not to. Interesting finds though wish there was a way to get it without GS.

Also, I don't know whether more things will be wiped, it comes down to effort to risk I suspect.

 

wow, that looks awsome. How does one go about making that work?

Does it have to be a demo disk or can you do that on a standard GC version?

 

Sorry for not knowing the exact details about the "hot coffee", yet I must admit that I stay away from GTA titles as having played 3 on PC got bored of their vague repetative style. In addition to that, I don't watch TV or read the news so.. I wouldn't know.

 

This wasnt hacked out using a Gameshark device, It was done with good old fasioned hex and rebuilding the GCM.

Cant divulge details yet, the guy who helped me do it spent a considerable amount of time and effort on this and we'd rather there not be ISO's claiming to be RE4 beta's floating around until we can properly cover everything so people know whats beta and what isnt.

I havent tried yet, But chances are retail is a no go. Certain beta's however are full steam ahead :thumbsup:

Thanks for the comments all. The article is quite long (and still being worked on) so if you are going to read it get some food ready :dance:

 

Indeed, when I said GS I meant that to my knowldge Dot is working on a set of codes, again to prevent fake betas.

 

Wow dot thats awsome. My best friend and I love RE4. If this can only be done on a demo then I am off to ebay to pick one of those up.

I cant wait to see his face when he walks in and im destroying zombies in slow mo and going invisable lol. He will freak. Great work man!

 

Very nice find.

This is the first time I've seen your site. I'm not much of a Resident Evil fan (although I enjoy the games and the history behind 1.5), but I must say that you've got a great site going.

 

Very nice man!

 

Blimey, you got there in the end then, finding summat useful, always makes the slog worthwhile

 

Hahah, Well the whole article is meant to appeal to die-hard fans who pour over all those kinds of discoveries. I feel that if Im going to do an article on it, I better complete it and list anything of interest even if it doesnt appeal to the more casual Resident Evil audience (not that Im calling you that!).
