Resident Evil 1.5 Actual Gameplay Footage
Published by residentevilnews
Remember that pre-historic time when dinosaurs roamed the earth and people were still playing on their old, but oh-so classic, PlayStation One consoles? Well, once upon a time, while Capcom were busy beavering away at Resident Evil 2 and counting all their profit from the original Resident Evil, there existed a version of Resident Evil 2 that did not come to light.
Yes, the Resident Evil 2 that you (should) have in your classic PlayStation games collection was almost a completely different Resident Evil game altogether with totally different locations, enemies, storyline and even a brand new playable character called, “Elza Walker”, who was later to be replaced by Resident Evil fan-favourite, Claire Redfield. However, perhaps because it turned out to be a bit crap, Capcom scrapped much of the Resident Evil 2 material that they had generated and created and released the Resident Evil 2 that we all know and love.
Archived footage of the older prototype version of Resident Evil 2 — now unofficially dubbed, “Resident Evil 1.5″ — has managed to surface since the release of Resident Evil 2 - all those years ago. I thought I’d go ahead and include one of the longer gameplay videos which features a plethora of Resident Evil 1.5 footage and reveals some interesting features that seemingly did not make it into the official Resident Evil 2. Obviously the most notable feature being, Elza Walker, the playable female character who did not make it into the final Resident Evil 2 build. See how many more you can notice.

man compared to the graphics we have now, its sad to think that ppl thought that those kind of graphics were the best!
wow i didn’t even know that there was going to be a resident evil 1.5
wow this one looks a lot more compact than the official in terms of room to move
I mock RE2, and I’m right, I don’t think it’s as good as the leaked 1.5 version is, But it’s the only RE title to span over 5 consoles.
I’ve collected a few over the years. The one for the PS, the N64, The Dreamcast, and the Gamecube. Why? Because each has something of its own that the others don’t. I guess in my own mind it’s like getting ahold of these features somehow brings me a little closer to 1.5 each time I unlock something new. Like I’m gonna unlock a mini game of 1.5. I find more little extras in each game that you can’t get in the others. Screenshots, archives, pictures, concept art and sketches, etc.
There’s alot of people out there would gladly fork over upwards of 50 bucks for a PS copy just to play it. IF they came out with something like a director’s cut, it would work since there’s no continuation anyway to it, just a slight deviation from the actual storyline.
but I digress.
zoms look smarter i thank that girl is reladed to wesckre
Basically, Resident Evil 1.5 was going to be Resident Evil 2. Sadly, Capcom decided to scrap this mysterious version for obvious reasons. The camera angles and style of the maps throughout Resident Evil 1.5 used the exact same engine as our beloved Resident Evil 1. About a little more than half way through the completion of 1.5, Capcom had began to notice that it was beginning to look too similar to it’s predecessor. I wouldn’t mind playing through a rough copy of 1.5, but at the same time I trust that Capcom made the right choice. With RE5’s release coming closer and closer, the sky is the limit for Capcom!
God, you’re such an idiot. Just listen to yourself, you sound like your the “Resident Evil Master” or something, jesus, you make me laugh, “but i digress” man your a loser.
