[edit] A question

What does it mean that "some U.S. versions" of the Saturn release did contain original footage? How many U.S. versions have been released? puppi- 25/08/06

[edit] Split

I thinking that REmake (the GameCube version) needs a separate article from the RE1 article. Unlike say REDC and RECVX, REmake isn't a mere patch work, but a complete remake with various differing elements from the original. While the basic differences between the two games are practically covered in the "Alternative versions" section, it still could use an article of its own. Of course, some may object, seeing how the basic storyline between both versions is the same. Please discuss.Jonny2x4 18:58, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm inclined to agree - there is enough deviation and variation from the original Resi to merit an article of its own. --Squirminator2k 20:28, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

I initially agreed, but am beginning to differ at this point. There simply isn't enough new information to warrant a separate article. That being said, I would like to recommend a revised "External Links" division (all official outlets are directed to foreign language counterparts). For example, a Japanese site on "Biohazard" would probably be better suited to Wikipedia's alternative and not the English version. - AWF

I think that there should be a seperate article for REmake for 2 reaons -So much was changed in the REmake, that it seems like a completely new game (New style, different puzzle solutions, new enemies), and secondly, this article is very very long with all of this information. -MentosC 03:42, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think there's a lot you can say about REmake on its own; why not instead split the entire alternate versions section out into its own article? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 03:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea; the enhanced versions of RE 1 are making the file too big. It's around 50 kb right now, and the minimum is supposed to be around 32kb. Creating a special secion for enhanced ports (and remakes) would dramatically reduce the file size and help it meet Wikipedia standards. I'm all for it, as long as the RE Remake gets its own seperate article. And don't think there's not enough about the remake to make a pretty respectable-sized article; I'm crazy enough to do it. Don't even get me started on the Twin Snakes discussion on the Metal Gear Solid page. Since it seems everyone wants to do the split, someone's got to carry out the responsibility. Any takers?Stephen Mathis 03:14, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I disagree. I think the Overview is the most bloated section of this article. For example, the main text contains a paragraph which goes on to describe some of the enemies featured in the game, then there's a section dedicated to doing the same. If we could trim it down, then it would be better.

Anyway the GameCube version of Resident Evil deserves its own page, since it's no mere port of the game, but a new production with several retcons and redone graphics and voice acting. Unlike Deadly Silence, which was just a souped-up port of the PS1 game. Jonny2x4 07:26, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What is the name of the song Jill plays on the Piano?

I like that song... anyone remember the name of it?

It's the Moonlight Sonnata. If that is how it's spelled.

It's Moonlight Sonata by Ludwig van Beethoven. Keiran Horn 18:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Uncut Intro

The Article said that only the PC Version contains the Uncut intro. This is not entirely true, as the European Playstation Version of Resident Evil Director's Cut contains the uncut intro as well. If I remember correctly, the US Director's Cut still contains the censored intro due to a failure in production of the Master Disc (someone put the wrong file on the disc), but I have no citable sources for that.

I would like to know were people got the idea that George Trevor is the Elder Crimson head inside the coffin? there is no evidance in the game to support this and if i recall correctly there is a note or something saying that the Elder was a recent experiment while Trevor had been dead for around 40 or so years.

[edit] Release dates

I noticed that the release dates are taking a lot of space in the infobox. I think we should merge all the dates, except of the original Playstation release, into the Differences between versions section. --Mika1h 20:32, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
