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 dialog 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 the prototype version, Resident Evil 1.5.

The Machine Gun ammo never appears anywhere in the game. However, it can still be obtained through hacking.

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

This Calico M950 went unused in the final game. It is possible to use it in the final version, but in the Nintendo 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 Clair 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 answer to female protagnist's Grenade Launcher.

This Machine Gun, known as the H&K MC51, exists in the final game, but is unused. While hacking it back into the game is possible, it would crash the game as the model for the weapon no longer exists when equipping it. Hacks for the PC verison allow it to be usuable. It was seen in the prototype version, and was likely going to be alongside the game's actual SMG, the MAC11.
