Yup, that's how I remember it.

So is there a video of the supposed uncensored western version?

My copy with Dino Crisis demo will come tomorrow, and I'll show you the video once I get my hands on it.

My two cents, I have the NA RE3, the one without the Dino Crisis demo, no decapitation, the zombie grab came from behind, Jill kicked the zombie but no head off. The copyright date is 1999.

Yes, I noticed too. Biohazard 3 Last Escape (The Japanese version of Resident Evil 3) is the complete uncensored version that was released on PS1, Dreamcast, and original PC (Except Sourcenext and PS3 version) in Japan. Well it's Monday, I should get my hands on RE3 with Dino Demo this afternoon. Once I have it I'll post the clip to you all. Thank you for posting it.

You sure do.

We should sue Capcom for censoring RE3!

[Darkmoon]

Yeah...good luck with that. It's there game - if they want to release a version where zombies dissolve into sparkles upon death they can.

[Joehrex]

I should PM Upaluppa for his copy and see if he'll give it to me. Plan B!

Well lucky you! Congratulations! Glad to hear it! FYI, not all PS1 versions with Dino demo were uncensored. Some end up like single disc version. Excuse me for my exploding anger. I was too excited.

Well this is confusing. It's time to start dumping discs and comparing digital signatures I feel. Perhaps assembler forums might know more on this matter? I don't know much about the production process of PSX games, but I'm not sure how first release can be censored, half of the second release is uncensored and then the third release is censored again. It would mean there were two master copies of the NTSC release and one was accidentally used instead of the other, as the standard was clearly set with the first release assuming it actually is censored. I imagine only digital signatures are going to reveal the differences here. It reminds me of the whole fiasco with Directors Cut where the censored intro was "accidentally" used instead of the uncensored one. Unless the RE3 disc in your box came from a different release of the game and you only have the Dino Crisis box, as if a second hand dealer put it in there not knowing the difference.

Either way I want the uncensored version! If this really is true looks like he rarity of RE3 might be going up a little...

I wonder if the uncensored animation can be unlocked through hacking, might shed some light on the situation if the animation still exists on the disc.
