While it is neat that it exists, and is in many ways a marvel of technical ingenuity, there are too many sacrifices for the handful of exclusive files ( that can easily be found and read online).
Most notably, it has horribly compressed audio, fuzzier backgrounds, and simply awful looking cinematics. That said, this version is largely just an interesting curio, and suffers from the conversion to cartridge in a number of ways. It also is the only version that features a secret invincibility code, optional “3D” controls (as opposed to the classic “tank”) and settings for the level of violence and color of blood (cuz, you know, Nintendo). It does, however, add a handful of “EX” files that expanded on the story and even connects to future games (like Resident Evil 0 and Outbreak). In the process, it lost all the other bonuses (like EX Battle and Arrange Game – replacing it with a “randomizer” mode).
#RESIDENT EVIL SPARKLE MEANING PS3#
This is the most easily accessible version by modern standards, as it’s available in the PS3 Store as a digital download for $9.99.ĭespite the limitations of the hardware (not to mention being two PlayStation CDs crammed down into one N64 cartridge), this version managed to include all four scenarios. This version also introduced Arrange Game, which swapped around item placement while also giving the player access to the most powerful weapons (with infinite ammo) from the word go. This features new enemy and item placement, as well as the ability to play as Chris from the first RE. Along with the analog support and all content from the launch version, it also included an extra mini-game, Extreme Battle Mode. The following year, RE2 was re-released (as Resident Evil Director’s Cut was before it) to support the PlayStation’s new “DualShock” controller, which featured analog sticks for better control (the PS originally shipped with only a D-Pad for movement input). It does still come with The 4th Survivor and Tofu minigames, but I’d honestly only recommend it if you have no other option.ĭualShock Ver. This is probably the most bare-bones version, missing analog support, the EX Battle Mode minigame, and lacks various improvements future versions would include. This is the original Resident Evil 2 as it launched in 1998, and was only ever available on PS1. While I have detailed all the differences, if you’d like to see video from each version, this guy shows each being played.
No, instead, let’s look at the home console release versions and compare each for an educated decision on which is the best way to play. We won’t be talking about those today, because this isn’t a humor editorial. There have even been a few demakes, porting the game to systems like the GameCom, a Tiger 99x version (essentially RE2 for Tomogachi), as well as a canceled version for GameBoy Advance.
So, like most of Capcom’s library, RE2 Classic has released on just about everything you can think of. To help you out, I’ve compiled everything I could think of to get the best RE2 Classic experience before the REmake releases - including some guides to get you started towards becoming a master at it and even unlocking all the hidden goodies! I hope you find it useful! That’s a pretty long wait, so I’ve been plowing through the original 1998 Resident Evil 2 in anticipation and thought maybe some of you were thinking of doing the same. I can’t wait to get my hands on RE2 Remake… as soon as it launches next January. I honestly don’t think I’ve been this hyped for a game since Resident Evil 5‘s earlier trailers (regardless of how anyone feels about the final product, the lead up was great).
