Resident Evil 2 (PlayStation)

Resident Evil 2 is a survival horror game by Capcom where Leon and Claire made their first appearances. This is the game that made Resident Evil a household name, prompting Capcom to mercilessly whore the game on numerous platforms under the sun.

Resident Evil 2 is also known to have had a first draft that Capcom scrapped called Resident Evil 1.5.

Unused Dialogue

Within the XA voice directory of the Japanese Resident Evil 2 trial disc lies unused dialogue, including two individual samples of a screaming Leon and Claire, an outtake by Leon's voice actor, and dialogue for Leon and Marvin, the black police officer who dies early in the "A" scenario game.

Other unheard dialogue can also be found in the Beta 2 prototype, including short lines from Ada and Leon.

Unused Items
Resident Evil 2 has a lot of unused items that were leftover during its development cycle, notably from a prototype version commonly known as Resident Evil 1.5.

Unknown Handgun


This green, unknown handgun exists in the final game, but doesn't seem to have any function and can't be used. It is likely used as a placeholder graphic for unfinished inventory avatars. The gun itself seems to be based on the SIGPRO S228, as the name of the weapon exists in an item list that is in the Japanese version of the RE2 Demo.

Machine Gun Ammo


The Machine Gun ammo never appears anywhere in the game, aside from the Nintendo 64 version.

Flamethrower Fuel


Like the Machine Gun ammo, the Flamethrower Fuel is also unobtainable. It can also be restored through hacking.

Spark Shot Ammo


Like the two pieces of ammo above, the Spark Shot ammo went unused and unobtainable. It can be restored via hacking.

Chemicals


While unused in other versions, the Chemicals are used in the Nintendo 64 version. The two chemicals change the grenade rounds into either the acid rounds, which is called Chemical AC-W24, and the others into flame rounds, called Chemical FR-W09. The former of these is pictured here.

Calico M950 Pistol
This Calico M950 went unused in the final game, although it is possible to use it in the GameCube version. By putting the Colt S.A.A in Leon's inventory, the model of the Colt would be replaced with the Calico, hinting that this was likely an extra weapon for Leon since Claire obtains the Colt S.A.A in the locker with her extra costume. Hacks exist to put this in the PC version of the game as well.

It was likely to use 9mm Handgun Ammo.

Hand Grenades
These only exist in the prototype version, seeing the early design of the avatar itself. Leon would be able to use these, in response to the female protagonist's Grenade Launcher. It is unknown if there were actually two other versions of the grenades that match the grenade rounds for the Grenade Launcher.

H&K MC51 Machine Gun
This machine gun exists in the final game but is unused. While hacking it back into the game is possible, it will crash the game as the model for the weapon no longer exists when equipping it. Hacks for the PC version allow it to be usable.

It was seen in the prototype version, and was likely going to be alongside the game's actual SMG, the MAC11.
