What version of RE:2 is this?

Just having a quick look on eBay and came across this..

(Wouldnt let me post an external link as I'm a new member so I've just attached an image below)



What version of RE:2 would this be? I've only ever had/seen the one with the 2 discs?

Also I've heard things of a Director's Cut for RE:2 and a RE:2.5? But never actually seen them anywhere, could this be one of them?

I never knew there was a Playstation version on only one disc.

The supposed "Director's Cut" of RE2 is, from what I can gather, some kind of mod for PC, but I don't know anything about it beyond that. And RE2.5 was just a beta version of RE3. From YT footage I've seen of it, it didn't look much different from the final game.

That's whats puzzled me, I've never seen a one disc version for the Playstation but this guys asking 99p for it, so it might be worth checking out.

Thanks for clearing the other 2 up for me, I'd like to know more about the Directors Cut version but I'm not a big fan of playing games on my PC other than Football Manager!

That looks like a ost disc

In the description it says Resident Evil 2 game disc, no case, plays fine.

I'm just intrigued as to how you'd select your character at the begining if it is the game. I'm the winning bidder at the moment anyway so I'll let you guys know exactly what it is if I win it!

EDIT: Plus it's got a 15 rating warning on the disc which I doubt they'd put on the soundtrack?

Indeed, please do so! I'm intrigued by this....could it be a bootleg version?

It looks pretty official in the picture - I hope I win it just to ease my own curiosity

Just an update - I ended up winning the auction for £2.72 - I'll let you guys know if it works and what it looks like. I'll upload a picture if anything is different to the original

The same way you do in RE1? *shrug*

TBH, I'm leaning towards agreeing with Paul in that it looks like a soundtrack disc. Doesn't sound like you paid all that much for it, though (sorry, I'm not aware of the current conversion rate for British pounds to American dollars). Please do let us know what exactly it is, when you get. I'm with Valentine Fan here in being intrigued by it.

Nevertheless....it has the europe PAL logo, why would they put that on an ost disc?, btw, i THINK the biohazard 2 version has only one disc so it is possible to have both characters inthe same disc

EDIT!!!!:


wait wait wait, I got it, it is a demo

the words in the lower part of the disc that I've mistaken with a tracklist says in differents european languages "DEMO ONLY - NOT FOR RESALE" (the last line is the english one), so you just bought a demo.

Seems legit. Would it have to be the one that came packaged with the original Director's Cut? Or would it be a different one?

Yeah it does say that wow that sucks lol.

You got duped.

Indeed.

It is indeed the directors cut demo for the PAL version of Director's cut, not really all that rare if you pick up a PAL copy.

You could have told me that BEFORE I bought it

No £2.72 isn't much at all! I've just made out the writing at the bottom now

I'll still have a play, see if it's any different from the original!!

I would've told you if I was here

I have that demo (came with the Director's Cut of the original) and it indeed is different from the final game. I'll let you see the changes for yourself.

Cool, I'm glad it will atleast be a little bit different!

Just completed the second scenario of RE:2 again last night with Leon, well and truely getting back in the swing of things! Rank C! Felt like crying, it's never been that bad since the first time I did it and it took 10+ hours

The demo is not terribly long, though, so prepare for that.

Funnily enough Martin(a buddy of mine) hacked the demo to make it longer and in the process also hacked in a few beta scenes that got removed from the final game for example Marvin appears differently instead of being next to the lockers you see him stagger into his office and collapse near the wall where he appears when you return later on.

Check his youtube page here:

Nice links, the licker scene was weird, just seeing a head drop from the roof!?

Looking at the video makes me think too, how much work goes into hacking seriously!? He just skipped to the police station and just made his handgun unlimited at the touch of a button (and his knife )

Martin is a gifted hacker that much I can tell you I would also from there look at his 1.5 PC rooms mod i'm helping him out with some of the 3d stuff and he works his magic hacking it all together into a workable room.

And yes the Licker cutscene had no FMV to begin with it just had the head drop from the ceiling and it was like that in Beta 1 before it got updated in Beta 2 to final version.

I had a look at the Chief Irons' office video, I don't think they put enough zombies in there! Fuck! Haha.

This whole hacking thing seems interesting but it's way over my head and I wouldn't even begin to start learning how it works.

If you want to learn to hack the classics there's a forum for that:
http://z4.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_1_2_3/index.php?act=idx

Its packed with a bunch of information and its always getting updated in terms of tools, mods and tutorials I would highly recommend it.

Oh and as an added bonus that disc you bought has backgrounds from Resident Evil 1.5 within its files none of them are playable but its always nice to know there is some beta stuff on it, so for a demo disc it is worth it just for what other bits it contains =P

If possible, I'd be interested in seeing some footage of that.
