About this game
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, hotplugging 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).
