The fear of walking there.

.

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).
