Vote for Resident Evil 1.5 on GOG Dreamlist!

The ill-fated RE2 Prototype that never was yet came so very close.

Maybe if it gets enough votes and GOG reaches out to Capcom about it then they can dig up that 80% Build, finish up the game, then ship it out.

I know, dream on, right? Well, just humor me here, okay?

Huh.... somebody added that recently?

[Krow Dotman]

can that even be considered a full game release?

[Blk_Mage_Ctype]

It can be if they hire someone to put the finishing touches in. There's already a playable build out there that has been pieced together by the community over the years, so it shouldn't be hard for Capcom to find the 80% build then finish it up.

[Krow Dotman]

Shouldn't be hard... Dude, what 'u talking about? Are you trippin'?

It seems you don't know cappy lost a big chunk of their raw project files... To the point they literally had to redo some of the older games from scratch for some of the current rereleases.

The current classic collection on GOG is only endorsed by capcom, but not really made by them.

On top of that, with the close announcement of "IX", "zero" remake and whatever the other title + another set of rereleases to next gen consoles, do you really think capcom will take their already full dev time team finish a discarded concept from decades ago?

The point is that if they see there's a lot of interest from fans then they're more likely to find a way of bringing it to market. If you've got time to write out a paragraph like that saying why it cannot be done, then certainly you can click the link then click to upvote it.

The 80% build likely doesn't exist anymore. Most big Japanese publishers/devs weren't big on preservation back then. It's why all builds of FF7 that aren't the ps1 original are based on the jank beta the original pc port was built off of. The source for the full release is gone.
