Overview
The fear of walking there.
Immerse yourself in the ultimate test of survival. Face your fears in this terror-filled classic edition of Resident Evil™ 2 for PC containing more horror, more mutant creatures and more evil than before
.
Just like with Resident Evil™, we made sure GOG’s version of the second entry in the series is the best it can be. Here’s what we did to make this masterpiece last forever:
– Full compatibility with Windows 10 and Windows 11.
– 6 localizations of the game included (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese).
– Improved DirectX game renderer.
– New rendering options (Windowed Mode, Vertical Synchronization Control, Gamma Correction, Integer Scaling and more).
– Improved audio volume and panning.
– Improved cutscenes and subtitles.
– Improved savegame manager.
– Improved game video player.
– Issue-less game exit.
– Improved game registry settings.
– Improved key-binding settings and audio settings screens.
– Improved end credits in the German version.
– Fixed issues with Rooms 114 and 115 (missing text), Room 210 (invisible diary), and Room 409 (looping sound).
– Full support for modern controllers (Sony DualSense, Sony DualShock4, Microsoft Xbox Series, Microsoft Xbox One, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, Logitech F series and many more) with optimal button binding regardless of the hardware and wireless mode.
– 4th Survivor and Tofu modes enabled from the very beginning.
Our version of the game keeps all the original content intact – 1998’s description is no exception. Take a trip down memory lane and see how Resident Evil™ 2 was described to gamers when it launched all those years ago:
FEATURES:
– 2 Separate Adventures! Command Leon Kennedy, a rookie cop who stumbles onto the carnage reporting for his first duty, or play as Claire Redfield, desperately searching for her missing brother.
– Cutting edge 3-D accelerated graphics that create a terrifying, photo-realistic experience.
– 3-D accelerated and non 3-D accelerated settings to maximize performance whatever your setup.
– Features complete versions of both original U.S. and the original Japanese versions of Resident Evil™ 2.
– New Extreme Battle Mode: Battle your way through hordes of zombies as you play the hyper-intensive challenge that changes every time you play.
– All new Resident Evil™ 2 picture gallery.
– The game’s secret scenario available from the very beginning (no need to finish it under certain conditions first).
