  • 5:50 sounds like a nightmare on elm street .. awesome music

  • What pisses me off I remember reading about this version since 1996-1997, years later and I still haven't played it.

  • This one actually looked much scarier, I remember reading about this version coming out in Game Pro back in 96. We were excited, especially when we saw the shotgun zombie boss which I'm guessing was what turned out to be an earlier model of William Birkin??

  • god i love seeing old resident evil fans thank you.. everyone is about the new ones. it's like whatever man.. this is resident evil.. i don't mind the new ones.. probable bc they got bored with it.. and needed new fans.

  • honestly I dont faind it that skary, but the music is so cool.

  • i have this game, but for me its very very hard xD

  • @iagt99 where did you get it?x

  • i think that this has a more creepy atmosphere than the final release of resident evil 2

  • We need to start a Facebook group pledging not to buy any resident evil games until series creator shinji mikami is brought back into the development team.

  • @DyingLight25 Well, if you do that then they definatley won't bring him back. Then the sales will drop, Capcom will get shut down, and Resident Evil will cease to exist. But go ahead, do what you please. Trust me though, it ain't gunna work

  • I hope you hardcore RE fans are aware of the fundraising taking place to release resident evil for the gameboy.

  • We need to start a Facebook page pledging not to buy and resident evil games until shinji mikami is brought back into the development team.

  • that technoish background music.... *faints...

  • capcom... youre so dam stupid... even thought re2 was good... this was gonna be epic... really stupid... and what youre doing to the re series now is... damm ur stupid... like totally.... so please for the love of everything sacred remake this title atleast.... with hd graphics.. and the old school style of RE.... seriously... bunch of idiots... >.<

  • We should start a Facebook page stating not to buy any RE games unless shinji mikami is brought back to the development team

  • Resident evil just isn't the same anymore without shinji mikami

  • The police station in this game looks more realistic than they one in RE2. Would have much rather seen this game made instead of RE2.

  • carajooooo porque lo cancelaron?? u.u por lo menos estaria bueno un resident evil que contara esta historia con los graficos que hay en esta epoca y con esa camara u.u porque ahora los juegos de resident evil parecen mas de accion que cualkier otra cosa :S

  • i miss those rotating move in one place and both feet on floor

  • I think us hardcore RE fans should ignore any RE game that they bring out because if they lost the popularity of the RE games i think they would go back to their roots

  • @lee91289 Finally somebody makes sense, Resident Evil is not what it seems to be, because Shinji Mikami, the original director and creator of the Resident Evil series left Capcom after making Resident Evil 4, and that's why Resident Evil is not as great as before, all Capcom cares about is the money, Resident Evil will never be the same, since nothing is the same without it's original creator.

  • @TyrantT003 Exactly, and the 4 was not a complete work by Mikami, because he wanted a style similar to 3.5, and that was the right road to follow... Resident Evil dies after the 0 and the Rebirth... R.I.P. Resident Evil 1996-2002

  • I think us hardcore RE fans should ignore any RE game that they bring out because if they lost the popularity of the RE games i think they would go back to their roots

  • I swear to god this version is the Best ever.after watching this clip Resident Evil 2,3 looked silly,stupid,rubbish to me. in this one you feel like you are in a town that is really really hitted with a virus dead bodies every where .huge arenas.running zombie.Honestly the gorilla was so scary to my rather than the FINAL bosses of RE 2,3 they were pussys.if this game goes on sale Iam ready to pay £100 for it.because I played all of Re versions.

  • porably for the best that no one can play this and this never turned out into the final verssion.

  • they should put these as a bonus with resident evil 6.

  • @mastereraqus screw that, they should give us this instead of RE6, it looks like crap, but this looked like it had real potential!

  • @doomdood183 Of course it had real potential and that potential was realized with the finished retail version of RE2 which ended up being a classic. Capcom don't scrap games or parts of games for fun, they do it because it was'nt turning out very good.

  • look's like every resident evil that have Leon as a playable character have a beta version. for example re 1.5 and 3.5

  • @Rifqi1464 Every RE game has a beta version. 

  • what in the world those arms at 5:04 magical appeared from nowhere

  • WTF those arms at 5:04 magical appeared from nowhere

  • holy shit those arms at 5:04 magical appeared from nowhere

  • Sharilee.....

    (I know he's saying Sherry lol)

  • Ps3 resident evil is crap, why cant they make the game like the ps1... I was so upset spent £40 on a game that is rubbish. I would rather buy the ps1 game for twice the price.. They where amazing

  • I think they should have launched the 2 games!

    First released resident evil 2!

    and then have released this version as RE 2.5 for a much higher price (R$150,00)

    they would make lots of money!!!!!!

  • cant they just release the game in the ps1 store

  • To be honest, I find the RE 1.5 scenarios more realistic than the Final RE2. I am not talking about graphics quality, but the design. The buildings look like an actuall american city xD

  • Playstation was and will be the best console ever made. The time playstation was at the top was the golden age of games :) Playstation FOREVER !!!!

  • the reason why this version was scrapped is because the producer did not like it. He said it was boring and dull compared to the first resident evil, and i can see what he meant. im glad with what we ended up with but it would be nice if this was featured as bonus playable content.

  • Thumbs up if you think She look`s like a Malboro box

  • 5:05 rofl

  • 5:05 i couldnt stop luaghing

  • It would be nice if they put this unused content on as bonus content on the next game, just for the hell of it.

  • Don't know why Capcom doesn't finsih this... every RE Gamer wants to play it. So, what's their damn problem. PSX ok, but it looks so damn good.

  • i swear i had this back in 1996 it was one of the first ps1 games i bought but it was a trial version you could complete it in 20 minutes or less

  • @atrxroller That was the RE2 final demo, not 1.5.

  • 6:06 Gorillaaaa !!!!

  • 5:04 LOOOOL

  • All of you hoping for operation racoon city should realize that is a shooter game that happens to take place in the RE universe. It will be socom with RE storyline. It will be nothing but action.

  • This one looked dull and boring, resident evil 2 was much more cinematic and stuff, exciting.

  • @Destructoid17 keep in mind this game was never finished, so it would have been more cinematic

  • whats resident evil 1.5?

  • Resident evil 1.5 is FAR better tha all those resident evils from ps 3 and ps 2 thogether thumbs up if you think so : )

  • I think Elza, Linda or Roy, or even John can be mentioned or be on Resident Evil 6. It would be great, but the chance is minimal. Looks like CAPCOM see's this game with bad eyes, and won't change. But, they could just mention then, or who knows, on the reboot, take Elza as the protagonist?

  • hope raccoon city is worth the wait.

  • This doesnt compare to the resident evil 2 we got. I agree with you people though they should release it as an extra on the new game or something. I mean it was practically finished anyway werent it?

    Peace!!

  • capcom should bundle this game with another(Maybe Resident Evil 6) and make it an unlockable. That would be awesome.

  • 62 people are infected whit the T virus.

    

  • i love the way the old ones turned out but i really think they should release these later not over the should in the classic view with some updated graphics i would kill to play these ones like

  • Thumbs up if you want Resident Evil 6 to be just like the old days, with the shit camera angles and not the fast-paced action Resident Evil games that we've come across the last few years. Resident Evil in the 90's was just amazing.

  • deveria sortir un jeu avec elza walker

  • why would capcom be stupid enough to canceled this game

  • @TheAnimelover40 Hideki Kamiya (director for this and RE2) explained on Twitter that he thought the game was rubbish, and he was very glad that they canned it. Supposedly it was too much like RE1 but I don't see it. It's a shame they scrapped it, but if the director thinks it's shit there's not much we can do

  • @Kruspe12 .......

  • @bozhell

    I agree! That seemed to have more than a police station. Man they really shud consider releasing it as a special on the psn store :/

    Also if anyone would like to play in these locations, I suggest you buy "Resident Evil: Outbreak" (both part 1 and 2) for the ps2. The game had all these places. Hmm if you think about it, they did end up releasing it after all :P

  • @bozhell666

    I Agree, That seemed to have more than a police station. Man they really need to consider releasing this as a special on the psn store :/ Also If anyone wants to play in these such locations, I suggest you buy "Resident Evil:Outbreak / Resident Evil: Outbreak Case,File #2" for ps2. They have pretty much all these places..When you think of it, they kinda did release it, they just added new stuff.

  • I also like better the fact that Leon has his gun raised up when he walks.

  • I prefer this police station to the more gothic one in the finished resi 2 as not only is it more like, well, an ACTUAL police station and is more scary as you feel more claustrophobic.

  • @retrogamingfanatic I feel the same way, and it also seems like you get to explore more of the actual city in this version, which is something that I like better. I don't understand why you'd stay in the police station for so long, trying to unlock puzzles and whatnot, when it isn't anymore safe in there than it is outside, really.

  • Capcom owes us this, they already screwed with the series enouph for the action craving brats today, killed off some of the things that made the series what it is today, hey owe us a true Resident Evil. Thumbs Up if you agree!

  • we want the classic-original resident evil < it is much better than 4&5

  • the bad graphics make the game so much scarier

  • woah that gun stance is from RE4 and 5

  • I always wondered what the "Gorilla with no skin" would look like.

  • (Continued) - ... But without Mr. X and without the multiple malformations of the William Birkin or better yet the "G-Virus Monster"... RE2 just would not be Resident Evil 2! Unless of course this is the version we had first! Then who would know?! We might think exactly the same as we do now of the RE2 version we got. And we might have been looking at the videos of the unreleased RE2 that we have now saying "Wow... that would have been so badass!" ya know what I'm saying?

  • Whoa! Please excuse me... because I love RE2 and everything about it. Even spent hours upon hours unlocking all the unlockables like the special key, The 4th Survivor, The Tofu Survivor and all that good stuff!! But this... oh Lordy! This is crazy awesome!!!! I agree with Staremonemesis though... This version would be SUPER-AWESOME and it looks a hell of a lot more interesting and real than the version of RE2 that we got...

  • I say this prototype must have more locations then it's successor...

  • I say this prototype must have more locations then it's successor...

  • I say 1.5 must have more locations then it's successor...

  • So...Birkin probably has only one form...no Mr. X in sight...no lickers in sight...guys, I hate to say it, but even though the RPD looks way more realistic and the zombie gorilla is badass, I think I'd be more pissed if this was the finished version.

  • @Staremonemesis Most of the things haven't been seen, so we can't judge.

  • @Staremonemesis Well do bare in mind, 1.5 had Gorillas, Alligators (baby and adults) the Spider walking thing (that we got in RE3 aka Chimaras) plus the usual ones we got in the final as in Zombies, Dogs, Spiders, Birkin forms. So i guess it does add up, but i do love the Lickers. Mr X doesn't really take notice with me, Birkin was the true boss in the game, X was just a trenchcoat wearing idiot.

  • I remember seeing the preview for this build in a Gamepro magazine way back in the old school. It looks darker than RE2, but still I'm glad that RE2 was made the way it was. I just wish that this game was ALSO released maybe as a sidestory. Capcom does it all the time now. Imagine then. That would be cool. I love the marshalling yard tune.

  • Infected gorillas would be lot better than these poisonous plants, why did they change that?

  • Has anyone noticed the striking similarity to the Resident Evil 3 backround from 7:06 and on?

  • @PrAeToRiAOnE3 yes indeed. But, since 1.5 was scrapped. They've must replicated the backgrounds for RE3 by starting with unused files & fixing it up. Consider it not the best accuracy though. It's my guess.

  • looks fun

  • 1-3 are the best RE games

  • Why'd they scrap the music? and why not make a RE2 Special Edition Directors Cut? that would kick so much ass! XD

  • @KHAOTiKGENOZiDE Yeah i was just thinking the same thing about the music it sounds brilliant! Theres a real mystery surrounding it x files style like your trying to uncover the truth.

  • resident evil 0-4 are pretty epic games I just love them =)

  • @Mr37Kyle 4 should not be mentioned in the same sentence as the OG classics.

  • Thumbs up if 0-3 are the best resident evil games :)

  • @Lukeykitty i have high hopes for operation raccoon city. because old zombies are back

  • @Lukeykitty dont forget remake, 0 , and CV

  • well theres many thing in game like weapon.. boss... rooms..Music. are very nice and would be a great part if they did release it. i love all resident evil parts but RESIDENT EVIL 1 the best and really ITS NOT JUST A GAME ;)

  • @mrwiw explain please ;)

    why Resident evil 1 it not just a game?  cause I love resident evil 1 :)

  • Strange, it seems like they held on to a lot of the Umbrella areas and Leon for the final cut but everything else they cut

  • I Would Love To Play This Game.

  • 私はあまりこのゲームをプレイしたい

  • they should put eliza walker in a future RE game

  • i want play re 1.5..

  • 1:14 Tank!

  • I remember seeing this back in 04' and was like oh snaps why didn't they release this. Also I'm re-playing RE2 on my PS1. Damn... the game is still great as it was before even made me jump once XD but still the main point is the game might have not aged well graphically but the game play for me is quite perfect. I never even minded the tank controls I for one loved them. If only Capcom could remake their RE games like that ad ACTUALLY incorporate the Survival Horror theme I'd be in love again.

  • it's funny but I prefer my E3 biohazard rebirth.

    : P

  • IT looks more HD

  • so, original main character not Claire? OMG!!!

  • good work TOP

  • I agree I remember when me and my dad would play these games together but now Resident evil has gone to shit after 4 and 5. They took the random camera views and made it like any other shooter game. What made the game cool never knowing whats around the corner and thats what made it scary. My Favorite one was 2.

  • come on what is wrong in resident evil 4 and 5, they are cool games, the only diference is the gameplay

  • capcom removed the true survival horror in their latest games, ya know the feeling of suspense and helplessness that the characters xperience. the thrill of ammo consumption and puzzle solving are long absent in the new titles not to mention that they made the characters "too much of an action star"cuz they can shove off and punch, kick and throw the enemies.

  • WHAT THE HELL !!! I NEED THAT VERSION DONT CARE IF IT¨S OLD ,DAMN

  • a zombie GoriLLa? see thats bad ass! i felt like they kould of done alot more with animals in these games

  • Capcom sucks..for real.. I mean why the hell did they change the orginal concept of the game in 4 & 5 ? There was nothing bad about it.. and because and ONLY of the survival-horror element they gain so much popularity.

    The only chance for Resident Evil is going back to roots! Not some ghost and las plagas shit.

    If Resident Evil 6 will not have zombies\racoon city or something else from the old games in it, the whole franchise will die forever.

  • SHELLY!!!

  • I just want to play games like this one, not the fool-named Resident Evil 4 & 5.

  • @MrSorianov The sad thing is,did you see the first version of RE4?WHY DIDNT THEY STICK TO THAT?!

  • @MrSorianov The sad thing is,did you see the first version of RE4?WHY DIDNT THEY STICK TO THAT?

  • @MrSorianov RE 4 is good , 5 is shit though. I still like the originals but 4 is good as well

  • @MrSorianov re 4 is better than re5 is a downgraded crap only short gameplay , HD online co-op , horrible story Chris, jill , wesker got raped . re4 is just way better

  • @MrSorianov Resident Evil 4 was the best Resident Evil other than the RE1 if you have a nostalgia for it.

  • @sean1256

    Resident Evil 4 was the best RE ? You misinformed fool,it isn't even Resident Evil.If the character wasn't Leon and the title didn't have ' Resident Evil' it could've been an entirely different franchise.It's an amazing game I don't disagree with that , it's just not the best Resident Evil game.

    RE2 ( IMO ) and RE3 were by far the best . You either haven't played them or you started with RE4 and compare that to the older ones when they're totally different.

  • @khalid7377, totally agree! resident evil 2 is my fav by far, capcom went above and beyond with the production of the resi 2, and it showed! 4 was good, really enjoyed it, however, i think its time capcom surprised us with a more traditional standard we've come to love about resident evil.

  • @khalid7377 And if it didn't have Ada. and if it didn't have references to the past games and wesker. and if it didn't copy a lot of elements that are trademark resident evil such as the typewriters and herbs.

    Also, you a a patronizing prick for calling him a misinformed fool just for having an opinion on his favorite resident evil game. But whatever. go back to living in the 90s.

  • @MrSorianov iv just bourght the full set of these on ebay for ps1 there awsome its gonna be fun going through all these again

  • @SeGaSaTuRn1994 do u got resident evil 1.5,resident evil trial?

  • que resident evil es este? Es un hack o algo parecido?

  • I'm still surprised that nearly 15 years on and this game hasn't still been released. The day that comes all original RE fans will rejoice. Even at the older age I am now, I'm still like a little kid when i see these videos, just like back in '96.....

  • So awesome.

  • 6:08 What the hell is that?

  • we want re2 re 3 remake!

    we want real survival horror!

  • WE WANT RE2&RE3 REMAKE!!!

    WE WANT REAL SURVIVAL HORROR!!!

  • This is soooo Cool ...

    I miss the Old RE Style...

    Capcom Should Bring it backkk.

    :)

    Don't You Love it when your running away from something and the door you run to is locked.?

    ohhh and the zombies crawling under just to get to you .5:43 .. soo funny..

  • I saw an article of this in GameReactor's magazine Finland version #29

  • id like to see them just bring this out as a psp format or something along with the old zero version we can ask.

  • lol! 6:10 i guess that thing was changed later on to become the licker.

  • i seriously think they should make this as a new RE instead of revelations "bringing horror back to the game" use this instead i mean RE 4 and 5 sucked why not use this what does capcom have to lose?

  • i seriously think they should make this as a new RE instead of revelations "bringing horror back to the game" use this instead i mean RE 4 and 5 sucked y not use this what does capcom have to lose?

  • 7:50 Reaper maybe? :/

  • This game is scarier than any of the new fucking shitty Dead Space or RE5s.

  • Oh wow... 0_0 I have to admit that Elza Walker looks so much better than Claire at least IMO plus she deserves to be a known character in the RE Series as she looks perfect as a main character. XP I so want this as well... T_T It looks so badass, seriously...! ^^

  • drop half a story walk it over like a boss

  • Best music is at 6:50

  • @JamesRideout123 Agreed 

  • They should re-release this game on the Playstation Network!

  • How was it similar to Resident evil this was in the Raccoon City and Resident evil 1 was in the mansion so plz someone tell me how this is similar ?????

  • @dragonballzkaifan All of the Badass music in Resident Evil 2 is from this game!

  • @dragonballzkaifan both included Zombies, both places where close to eachother, (the first which were in the Mansion, which was in a forest outside of a town called Raccoon City, which is the place of the second game), the company who made the virus are the same in both games.

  • It would be great to be able to play this beta versions, they should include them as a special feature in one of the games, but maybe I'm dreaming to much, CAPCOM does'nt even care about that kind of things, damn them!!! they don't even have a suggestions site,why they don't listen to the fans!!! lol

  • @Resi2birkin yes, What happend to Dino crisis?!!! CAPCOM really mess things up some times, I agree, the majinis aren't as great as zombies, but the B.O.W. (including the Lickers reaperance) and Wesker really make the game interesting, as for RE 4, if you undestand spanish, is so fucking illarious lol, and it has some really scary parts, don't you think? , anyway,RE rules!!!!

  • if im correct this was a beta for resident evil 2

  • I want this so bad :(

  • This version is scarier! And I love the music.

  • They should have put that big gorilla in RE2 that shit would have been bad ass to kill and what's with that knife that Leon is using lol and has anyone played the beta before???

  • LOL at 5:03

  • น่าเล่นเนอะ แม่งก็ไม่ทำออกมา

    กูว่าน่ากลัวกว่าภาค 2 จริงๆเสียอีก

    จัญไรแท้!!!ดูแล้วก็เสียอารมณ์

  • Comment removed

  • Although most re1.5 footage looks fascinating, I can see why they scrapped it. A lot of the scenes look like a rehash of the first re, with few improvements. The re2 we know today did an excellent job improving on a classic game such as re1. for instance, in this footage, the zombie arms popping out the windows looks horrible, with all of them moving in unison. In re2, they took this idea, and made it work. I mean cmon.. The finished Re2's story was amazing. I can't imagine it getting better. J

  • @SirChadofWick

    "for instance, in this footage, the zombie arms popping out the windows looks horrible, with all of them moving in unison."

    This footage is beta footage to a would be game that was no more than 75% complete. What were you expecting? The game obviously wasn't completed. Had this game actually been released, you would know Capcom to fix something as apparent as frailing zombie arms in unison. And surely Leon wouldn't have sounded like Chris either had RE1.5 been completed.

  • i hate lickers spider chimera's and gorilla's are way cooler

  • Honestly, I know this was probably scrapped for a good reason, but based on this footage, this game seems like it would've been amazing.

    This seems so much more atmospheric, and the cityscape, offices and prison are brilliant and things I would've loved to see in the release version of RE2.

    I pretty much agree with andree. This police station is a lot more believable.

  • @HaganeSteel

    Well stated sir. I agree 100%. The only reason this game was scrapped was because supposedly it was way too similar to the first Resident Evil. But I think that's a bad reason to scrap a game, considering how grand and original the first game was, let alone successful.

    Adding further, the released version of RE2 had no shooting range but had a crap "2 cell" jail no bigger than my kitchen. The environments of RE1.5 were modern, exuding high tech, cold steel. That was a big plus.

  • Indeed...! X3 I would so love to have this forgotten story as this Elza Walker looks great and I see so much potential in this forgotten gem, no lie... ^^ Someone should really pick up where this left off and complete it in a way they believe would be a complete RE 1.5 story even if it had to be paid for or for free hopefully as this RE 1.5 looks great and it is my opinion but I think Elza Walker would be such a great RE character to add to the rest of the existing RE Survivors, seriously...:D

  • Spider Chimera's and Muntant Gorilla's; man why did they scrap this???

  • this game looks like it would have been so much better than RE2 and that's saying alot cuz that game has legendary status.

  • @JackDaScarecrow yes but the story would not be that awsome

  • @JackDaScarecrow its the japanese version

  • How was this scrapped and then capcom made re2 so quickly?

  • That thing of putting a little picture of an item when you pick it up instead of the whole inventory screen is actually an improvement over RE2 if you ask me.

  • Resident evil 2's police station looks like a boring ass dungeon....this station looks way more like a real police dep

  • @andree1991 I kinda agree. The final police station looks like a Town Hall more than a police station where the beta looked a lot more like an actual police station with rooms and theming that better represented one.
