Resident Evil 1.5 was the first version of Resident Evil 2 (1998), which was cancelled when it was 70% complete because Shinji Mikami received a new story. This version is hardly the same as the current Resident Evil 2 (1998).

Key Differences:

The main characters were Leon Scott Kennedy and Elza Walker. Elza Walker's characteristics were the same as Claire Redfield's but she had no relation to Chris Redfield. This character could have changed the whole story of the Resident Evil series, potentially impacting the adventure of the Redfields looking for each other in Resident Evil Code Veronica.
Robert Kendo and Marvin Branagh appeared longer in the game.
The William monster was more terrible and "funny".
The mansion and area design were different.
Sherry's character design was rather different.
The characters' portraits in the menu screen were different.
The menu screen itself was different.

In addition to these, there were many other differences regarding story, roles, areas, and items.
