Bioflames - Resident evil 1.5 petition page -

Ok...As everybody probably knows - Resident evil 1.5 was supposed to be released as Resident evil 2 way back in 1997 - But this original version was scrapped very near completion - At 70-80 % --Why-- The official word from Capcom stated that it was scrapped because it played to much like the first Resident evil (Like that should be something bad!) - So Capcom started completly over again and made the RE 2 that we now know and love .... Anyway - This unreleased version called Resident evil 1.5 had some really cool weapons enemies and scenes that never made it to the new version of RE 2 .

In RE 1.5 the main characters was Leon S. Kennedy (Same guy as in RE 2) And Elza Walker, A young motorcycle daredevil (She was replaced by Claire Redfield in RE 2) There also was another character that never made it to the new game - DJ - He supposably was a cop working in the RPD - Other characters that was in RE 1.5 and made it to RE 2 was Sherry Birkin - Annette Birkin - William Birkin (In human and mutated form) - Chief Brian Irons - He was a good guy and played the part of the wounded cop in RE 1.5 - Ada Wong - John - He was named Robert Kendo in RE 2 - And finally Marvin Branagh - Who was playable instead of Ada Wong in Leon's scenario (In Elza's scenario Sherry Birkin was playable just like in RE 2) - Ben was not in the game.

There were a lot more different enemies in RE 1.5 than in RE 2 - There were more types of zombies - The fat zombies - Skinny zombies - Running zombie - Crawling zombies - There even were zombies of different sexes and races - In the monster department we have a couple of interesting creatures that never made it to RE 2 - First we have the big "spider-man" monster which looks a little like a bigger version of the chimeras from RE 1 - Secondly we have the big gorilla look alike monsters - These came in two versions - The big boss gorillas and the small baby gorillas - Third we have the big crocodile monster - As you know this monster made it to RE 2 - But in RE 1.5 there were two different versions of it - The big one from RE 2 but also small baby crocodiles.

There also were many more weapons in RE 1.5 that never made it to RE 2 - Like the hand-grenades and some different automatic weapons that unfortunaly was scrapped in RE 2 - There also were safety wests that you could equip so that the enemy attacks made less damage - The enemies was also supposed to be able to rip your clothes - And you could get blood stained if you took out a zombie at point-blank range - The gore level were also higher than in RE 2 - The zombies virtually exploded in a rain of blood and guts when being hit by Leon or Elza's powerful weapons .

One of the biggest differences from RE 1.5 to RE 2 is the backgrounds - They are totally different - More modern looking than the backgrounds in RE 2 - If you have looked at the RE 1.5 pictures or movies you know what I am talking about - The RPD looks more like a real police department than the one we got in RE 2 - The RPD jail also looks more like a real jail - And the fact that there actually is zombies in the cells reaching out trying to grab you - Makes it look like one of the coolest places in RE 1.5 - RE 1.5 also seems to have more outdoor scenes just like in RE 3 - If you have seen the movies of RE 1.5 you have probably heard that the music also is somewhat different from RE 2 - The movies are not very long but you still can hear that the original music sounded really cool - The story of RE 1.5 was supposed to be more complicated as it included many more characters than the RE 2 story - As you now can understand - RE 1.5 is almost a totally different game than RE 2 .

To summon this info up - From what I have seen and heard of the game - Resident evil 1.5 really looks to good to never see the light of day - And it would really be a shame if Capcom decides not to release the game to the public .

-- Don't you agree --

And now over to the petition .......To make a long story short - Simply the point with this petition is to push Capcom to finish and release Resident evil/Biohazard 1.5 in some form - Maybe like an extra/bonus disc for some future Capcom game - But the best and most realistic way would be if Capcom released it as Resident evil/Biohazard 2 "Directors cut" In this way it would not screw up the on-going story that links the Resident evil series - And it makes good sense to release it as a "Directors cut" game - As everything with "Directors cut" In the title is different from the original version of the product - And Resident evil 2 "Directors cut" would be the ultimate "Directors cut" Version - EVER - With almost everything different from the released game!!!. The petition will be sent to Capcom when it reaches enough name signings that hopefully convinces them that releasing Resident evil 1.5 is a good idea both for them and for us fans !.
