So I've always been a big Resident Evil fan. Despite me being altogether too afraid to play through the first one when I was little, I loved the game. The monsters and the atmosphere were all original. And to this day, No game has been able to capture the creepiness of the first one. The cities of RE2 and RE3 pale in comparison to the claustrophobic corridors and hallways of the mansion in the first one. They're all very good games. But I think 2 could have been better. And at one time it was.
Resident Evil 1.5 is the 80% finished beta version of RE2. For some reason they just weren't happy with what they had and scrapped it. Why? I honestly don't know. The police station looked more realistic and it had more monsters in it! In my opinion it looks much better than what we got. I'm not saying I'm unhappy with the finished product (quite the contrary, it's one of my favorites), but there's something about this unfinished version that draws me in more.
Claire Redfield wasn't even going to make it into the game. In her place was a character named Elza Walker in a ridiculous biker's outfit.
Here's a couple minutes of gameplay from it.
I know it sounds silly, but there's still a bit of hope in me that Capcom will release this. Seeing as how they haven't done anything with zombies in some time.. It wouldn't be a bad idea.
