Biohazard 2 Beta 1 (Very first beta)

[doriantoki]

That is true. If you look at RE2 and RE3 and how the engines are nearly identical, this was probably a case of them either using RE2 as a base and replacing backgrounds where needed, or the backgrounds from various RE2 builds were ported wholesale into RE3 to be used as place holders as the game was being fleshed out and worked on.

RE1 and RE2 are very similar actually undernieth it all, there's a few bugs which exist in both games regardless of whatever tweaks they made so its deffinately not new code. It's either that or despite however they coded the engine they built it in the same way resulting in the same behaviour.

Yes, that is true. I think it's obvious they either used modified RE1 code or developed new code very similar to it. But why wouldn't they? I think it only makes sense. There was enough of a progression between games that it felt fresh. The characters and enemies were more mobile and better animated. All in all, even if it was RE1 code, RE2 tweaked it well enough, where it felt very smooth and natural. RE3 wasn't that big of a step up. You could 180 and dodge, but beside that, it felt identical.

The shelf on the aligator room looks like a 3D object that you had to push to access the gas container.
I wonder why did they took it off, it would make that part a little more interesting.

About the licker scene... anyone else have spotted this in the final game?



You can see the head when you enter the room for the first time.



A leftover from beta 1?

Interesting! I wonder if it's present in the Trial Edition, it should be possible to enter the room from the opposite side and take a peek from that angle.

Licker beta scene is more scarier than the final scene, also not to mention the goofs in the final scene where you cant see the left door and the beheaded body behind leon during the FMV sequence ! they should have left the original beta scene ! also Kenneth original scene is much better where he tells leon to shoot him in the head to prevent him from becoming a zombie than the final version scene WTF capcom !

Fixed
Totally agree with you on both scenes
@Dark:
The licker scene could be fixed too in the final game? The head is still there after all

If these scenes are possible to be added to resident evil 2 dual shock would be awesome !

I'm wondering up until now, what was robert kendo doing in chief irons room ? I played dark biohard's biohazard 2 trial edition mod today and i was really shocked when i saw all these stuff never made it to the final product, but thank god they added the emergency ladder BTW, because you have to go through a lot of places to get back to the first floor which is very annoying !

He was most likely a placeholder for Irons model, just like the female zombie on the desk instead of the mayor's daughter. The funny thing about Irons and Kendo switched is that both are voiced by the same actor, but Kendo's samples have been artificially modulated to sound different (and kinda creepy).

[Guest]

Maybe he conspired with chief irons to kill the mayer's daughter, LOL !
