そこを歩く、という恐怖。


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.

生き残りをかけた究極の体験に没入せよ。前作を越える邪悪な怪物や恐怖を引っ提げて、PC向け『バイオハザード 2』クラシック版が登場。

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).

前作『バイオハザード』と同様に、本作においてもGOG版ではさまざまな最適化を実施。永久に手元に残せる決定版として施した改善は次のとおり:



  • Windows 10とWindows 11との完全な互換性の実現/li>
  • 6言語版への対応(英語、ドイツ語、フランス語、イタリア語、スペイン語、日本語)
  • DirectXゲームレンダラーの調整
  • 新しい画面描画オプションの追加(ウィンドウモード、垂直同期コントロール、ガンマ補正、整数スケーリングほか)

  • セーブデータ管理機能の改善
  • ゲーム内のビデオ再生機能の調整
  • ゲーム終了時の処理の改善
  • ゲームのレジストリ設定の調整
  • キーバインド設定とオーディオ設定画面の改善
  • ドイツ語版のスタッフクレジットの改善
  • 114号室と115号室のテキスト表示に関する問題の修正、210号室の日記が見えない問題の修正、409号室のサウンドループ問題の修正
  • メジャーなコントローラー(Sony DualSense、Sony DualShock4、Microsoft Xbox Series、Microsoft Xbox One、Microsoft Xbox 360、Nintendo Switch、Logitech Fシリーズほか多数)にホットプラグ機能やワイヤレスモードも含めて完全対応し、コントローラーごとに最適なボタン配置を提供
  • 「4th Survivor」と「豆腐」モードをゲーム開始直後から選択可能に変更

GOG版では、1998年に発売された本作オリジナルの要素を完全再現。『バイオハザード 2』が当時どのようにゲーマーに紹介されていたか、そのテキストを掲載(注:当時の英語版準拠のテキストとなります):



特徴:

  • はじめての任務に向かう途中で大事件に巻き込まれた新人警官の「レオン・ケネディ」と、音信不通となった兄を捜す「クレア・レッドフィールド」の物語が個別に展開
  • 最新の3Dアクセラレーテッドグラフィックスが、リアルな恐怖体験を呼び起こす
  • 3Dアクセラレーターの設定を切り替えることで、プレイ環境に応じてパフォーマンスを最大化
  • オリジナルの米国版『Resident Evil 2』と日本版『バイオハザード 2』の両方を実装した完全版 日本語版、米国版がそれぞれORIGINAL、ARRANGEとしてモード選択可能に!
  • エクストリームバトルモード:迫りくる大量のゾンビを相手に、熾烈なチャレンジをクリアせよ。アイテムや敵の配置は毎回ランダムに変化
  • 『バイオハザード 2』のギャラリーモードを搭載
  • ゲーム開始直後から隠しシナリオをプレイ可能(先に一定の条件を満たしてゲームをクリアする必要なし)

Almost exactly as I remember it

There are some glitches, such as saves always referring to "hall", and when you complete Scenario A, it doesn't let you load scenario B. Other than that, this is an excellent port of a legendary game that has stood the test of time. I've been playing this game for 30 years, and this is the first time I've played it on PC. It feels very much the same as it's PS1 counterpart. Well done! Can you port Code: Veronica next? Thank you!

Love the game, don't like this version..

When I first booted the game, the buttons weren't mapped correctly for my Xbox Elite controller OR my PS5 controller. Wired or wireless---I tried both. There was no "action" button. Normally that would be "x" on the ps controller but it just wouldn't work. Found a solution in the GOG forum to mess with my registry (yikes) and that worked. However NOW I can't see any of the FMVs!!! I can HEAR them, but the screen is otherwise black. My PC is only 4 months old with new hardware, not previous gen hardware. I'm really frustrated that I'm having to jump through hoops to make this work. I own a few hard copies for different retro systems so I could've just emu'd it and done the work to make sure buttons were mapped correctly etc. And I shouldn't have to get a mod to make this work either... I paid for it. it should work. Just dissapointed.

Blast From the Past

This port was pretty good. Despite some minor hiccup, there is an easy fix so you can see those classic cutscenes. Other than, It felt nice to play and nice to remember too. So it is an easy buy and never forget the classics.
