Shocking! MSN’s article on biggest game surprises wouldn’t be complete without Resident Evil
March 31st, 2008 Chris "Kramez" Kramer
As soon as this article popped up on my Google News alert for Resident Evil, I knew exactly what the screen shot would be, without even checking. True story: back in 1995 or so (back during my first stint at Capcom), we were receiving monthly code updates from the RE team and showing them to anyone and everyone to get them interested in this weird new game. I was in Texas at a superlame retail show, of all places, playing the latest build on a monitor in front of a crowd of about 25 - 30 interested gamers. I was so absorbed in the game that I totally tuned out all the folks behind me and entered this hall for the first time (it had been locked in previous builds). When those goddamned dogs crashed through the windows for the first time ever in the US, I literally dropped the PS1 controller on the floor, causing the crowd to laugh and Jill, regrettably (as the save system had yet to be implemented), to be eaten. MSNBC busts plots wide open, leaving spoilers in its wake like drunken wakeboarders in Lake Havasu during Spring Break, but it’s certainly an interesting read.

she still got eaten? lol the build must of been
in an unreleased super hard mode cause Jill can take a quite a few hits in the final version. at least 4-5 hits from dogs on normal. that’s not counting the mauling though. =P well okay maybe 3-5 hits.
I think you missed the part where I dropped the controller on the floor and then had to scramble to pick it back up again
you were that shocked? O_O yup that dog scene is legendary. I didn’t play RE1 til after RE2, so I didn’t know. I felt the same way about the licker window. ^_^
