Anyone who would pay a thousand dollars for a resident evil game is dumb
enough to be in this group, er.. I mean a big enough fan I'm surprised we
haven't seen him around.
For his sake I hope he doesn't get ripped like I think he will be.

If it really IS the lost artifact of RE 1.5, then I hope the guy who paid so
much money will be thinking about maybe "recovering" some of his expenses,
in other words:
a) Burning CDR copies of this holy grail, and
b) Posting in this newsgroup offering to sell them direct to the fans.
We can but dream after all...

Copies were not sent to reviewers. They were only given screenshots and
movies, not the actual game.

Anyone stupid enough to pay $1000 on an Ebay auction for something
that's with 99% likelihood a fake would be too stupid to use usenet --
unless he/she were an AOL or WebTV user. =) Or perhaps he/she is
incredibly wealthy and laughs, amused at our attempts to come to grips
with a $1000 bid on "RE 1.5".

It's probably the Resident Evil 2 Demo Disc from Resident Evil Director's Cut.
I can probably do that too. Let's see...hmmm....I can write up a description
saying "it's Resident Evil 2 the actual Resident Evil 1.5" and "...the trial
version
of Biohazard 2". Making the buyer think it's Resident Evil 1.5 but in reality
it's the demo of Resident Evil 2. Then I would add some screenshots
from Resident Evil 1.5(not from the actual cd but from web sites like
Bioflames).
I'm done! Then I'll make thousands of dollars selling that Resident Evil 2 Demo.
Also if it was the real Resident Evil 1.5 then why didn't the seller take
screenshots of
the cd or in-game screenshots instead of stealing pictures off of a web site? Oh
wait,
let me guess, the seller doesn't have a camera. Good excuse....right.

They looked at screenshots and said "Bah too much like Resident Evil 1, the

You don't need game testers for unfinished games ya know. You don't
incoporate them till your basically finished and just need to test it for
bugs.

LOL... well if I got it, I'd be sending copies to several webmasters and people
I know who would enjoy it, who each in turn would send it to several others, and
the would each send it to several people etc. Eventually it would be very
public.
I thought as much, which is why I would send it to you =)
Have you contacted the seller in regards to making you a copy, if so, what
was his response. I seem to be having some trouble communicating with the
seller. I don't think the seller has a copy himself because he can't even
send me pictures of the item. All the pictures he has posted have been off
the internet. I find it strange that he has pictures for all his other
auction items and not this.
He's claiming ebay won't let him sell an import game, even if it is an
original (regardless of the fact that he sold other import games before).
Sorry I can't help you out, but can you please reply and let me know if you
have contacted the seller.
Thank you.
PS. if everything does work out I won't have any problems getting you a
copy... but I doubt it!

No i didn't know that and i thought gam testing throughout the games cylces

during the final production of the game).
Well it's good to know things like this :D
I have the D.C. RE2 Demo & Beta Version of RE 2. Elza doesn't appear in or is
playable in either. The only 1.5 demo's that I know of out there are not
playable either, they are just video clips.
From the description & answer I received from him. It doesn't leave much room
for speculation. It's either actually 1.5 or a flat out scam.
It would be great if it is true, because I'm sure he would make some more
copies & sell em. Eventually it will start to make the rounds
-Just a thought - the game is unfinished so how unsatisfying would it be to pay
that much & have the game just freeze when there is no data left to play. I
can't even fathom how irritated I would be

Also, is there anyway to extract the prerendered backgrounds from the RE

I'm not sure if this is what your talking about or not, because thats all I can

I'm not good at mapping, how much easier would it have been without the van?

Just imagine it, you're Elza, going through a door. You hear a crash, a
scream and someone going "Ahhhhhhhh!!!! It's........" and then it freezes,
20/30 minute's from the end of the game!! :)
LOLOLOL!!
Well considering it would go STRAIGHT to the gate, avoiding half the
zombies, it would have made it 10 times easier to get to the police station
without picking up item's!
I mean it would take 2 minute's to get to police station instead of 5-10!!!
Ok this is a bit off topic but isn't their supposed to be a way too get a view
of outside the police station gates (the entrance you go in in re3) in resident
evil 2? I've tried doing the trick (forgoten what it was now) on re2 on psx and
dreamcast and also the beta demo but it dosen't work on any of them.
~~The Fun Lovin' Criminal~~
About the demo and the differnt route, it did have that on the demo of re2,
i remember that cause when i got the game it was gone, and i thought that
was wierd, cause i kind of rememberd it.
BTW i remember the first time i went thought the shop i never searched the
shop so the zombies never crashed thought the door, then i was in the
alleyway way it stops the game and you here him get attacked.
Then when i played it again the normal way searching the zombies came
through the door i thought that was cool that even if you pass that action,
it will still happen in the alleyway.

Well, it isn't EXCELLENT but it's a nice add-in. I wouldn't say it's a
secret either..... I got it in my first run!
All you have to do is go up to the gate and click X, then it show's you a
shot from the other side...... BEWARE::: you can only do this ONCE!! Once
you step out of that camera angle you can't get it back.
If I can remember rightly, there are three zombies on the other side, it
doesn't show you much BTW. You just get to see the whole gate and maybe a
car on the left. I wasn't too impressed.
Sounds like it anyway. I can't remember if I ever found a code I could use
for that or not.
should've lengthed that route over the dumpster, I would have liked to se more
of the RE2 racoon city instead of being cooked up in the rpd and having every
thing connect so easily in racoon I wanted more outdoor in re2 that's the only
thing I didn't like about the game...

I doubt it. If it was a general press demo then it would be setup not to do
that, it would have a starting and finishing point. It's a developers beta, then
chances are there will be a debug area which will give access to whatever is on
the disk (much like the BH2 Betas that are floating around out there).

Thanks for answering both of you. I just tried it a couple of times and then
passed it off as bollocks when I couldn't do it. If it is true though and run
through it again and do it.
~~The Fun Lovin' Criminal~~
No! It is true!
When you get up to the front of the RPD, go straight up to the gate (where
you come through with Jill in RE3) and press X right in the middle. Don't
move, just press X and the camera angle should change to the other side,
where there are 2/3 zombies to aim at and kill. You can't really see much
but it's a nice view. I tried it on my first run through the game and I got
it up. I'm gonna try it again tomorrow to see if it still works....... I
remember it clearly though!!
:?
Yea I know, I took your word for it. I said more or less that now I know it's
true I'll run through again and have another crack at it.
You feeling alright tonight comp'? You be sounding high boy.
~~The Fun Lovin' Criminal~~
It doesn't work every time. I can't remember exactly why. Maybe Rob knows.
Quite close!
I've been drinking Coke.... not Coke-Coke, but the caffeine drink!
I haven't had it in such a long time....... ahhhhhhhh!!
I don't smoke, or drink. I hate alcohol :(
I LOVE PORN, but I can't find anything good at the mo...... I'll have a look
at the stuff I got zipped and encrypted! :)
It might be because of this new forum I joined...... it's been a bad
influence on me! I'll leave in a day or two, I like the site and the boards
but it's a bad influence :) I think you go there to! :)
I tried using the item number gleamed from the destroyed url and it came up
blank, perhaps it was a hoax and ebay pulled it, or they could have pulled
it because it's not liscensed for sale in the US.

I noticed that if you do the events at the start that make the Brad Vickers
zombie appear near the police station, the gate will not work. We all know
that Brad's appearance stops the two zombies on the grass verge from
appearing, I wonder if it stops them showing up at the gate as well?
Also, if I do the gate thing and then kill the three zombies away behind it
and then leave and try to see the gate again, it won't work.
Weird.

Oh yeah, I think that was it.

No idea. It works for me just about everytime I do it IIRC.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. It does only work if the two zombies are in the
upper courtyard.

There was also a rumour way back on this NG about another alternate
route that took you to the other side of the phantom gate, but
theorized that they scrapped this idea, but forgot to erase the PG,
which is why you could access it sometimes in RE2. The path was
supposed to go where the black SUV is now blocking your path in front
of the Kendo gun shop and would take you to the phantom gate. Of
course, this is all speculation.
