Look what just showed it's rear-end, 10 years later:

All I want to say is: This makes me want the game even more....

Wait, wasnt this game out to kill time before RE2 came out or had the prototype to the first game when it was re-released?

From the review, it had some good and bad in the first prototype, before they scrapped the game and had to start form scratch do to them not liking the concept the first time around. I think its good they added Clarie to have some connection with Chris Redfield.

Now, who knows if Clarie will be in RE5...

If the girl shown at the end was indeed Sherry, Claire can't be too far behind :eek:

The demo of the game was included in RE:DC, but like you said they decided to scrap the game and go in a different direction for RE2. The reason it's called RE1.5 is because the game was basically the same as RE( no pre rendered backgrounds,etc).

Nope. This game was supposed to be RE2, but then at 60% done with the game, Mikami did not like how it was turning out and scrapped the whole thing to start over from scratch. Same thing happened during the development of RE4.

From my understanding, all of the characters will appear in at least flash back sequences to show what they started to do after Umbrella got shut down.

As for the blonde in RE5, it is Sherry. There is no one else it can be, especially since Wesker has her, and the girl is shown floating in a test tube.

Zombie gorrilla and man spider FTW

Man, seeing that makes me wanna play RE2 again. I have to say there were good areas and ideas that I wish would have appear in the final game like zombies knowing when to crawl through holes to get to the player or the zombie gorrilla.

And don't forget that Umbrella Chronicles for the Wii will explain how they manage to bring down Umbrella.

Sorry. Had to let this out. Bare with me.

But until I see more coverage on RE5 I refuse to believe that the girl in the tube is blonde or Sherry Birken. Reason being I'm simply tired of RE2 since both the release of RE4 and the game itself. And yes I have read Weskers Report.

So even if it's just wishful thinking---with the current direction the series seem to be going in---I still hope the series leaves RE2 alone and simply moves on. ...And fyi, I do not hate RE2. I'm just tired of it.

Ahem. Anyway... >_>

It was fun watching the video on 1.5. I probably would have preferred this over the former because I liked the visuals better, but I'm glad they changed it to connect the characters.

I would have loved to have played this game. It looks great, and the story even sounds great. It's too bad that this was never completed. Maybe if it still exists in some form, we can see it released as a game for the Nintendo DS or as an X-Box Live or Virtual Console download.

It looks great, and there are definitely some interesting concepts there that I wish had made the final cut (like the zombie gorilla, zombies that run after you when you shoot them, zombies that can crawl under doors). But the environments do look too "concrete sterile" - I guess they revamped the police station to give it more character, and the odd, creepy elegance of the final version became a RE trademark. Also, as cool as that big boss is with the pipe, in the end he's just a big boss with a pipe. We got better monster designs with all the G-virus mutations.

That is what I wish would happen with Soul Reaver, as I would so love to play the original version.
