    Resident Evil 2, known as Biohazard 2 Value Plus (バイオハザード2 バリュープラス) in Japan, is the sequel to Resident Evil. It was released among other consoles for the Sega Dreamcast in 1999.

    As the Japanese name suggests, the Dreamcast version is a slight update to the original PlayStation release - it is actually based on Biohazard 2: Dual Shock Ver., which added a few modes. The Dreamcast version also includes digital galleries and a playable demo of Resident Evil: Code: Veronica. However, at its core, it is the same game, hence why western releases did not make the distinction.

    Gameplay

    History

    Versions

    Resident Evil 2 was designed with the PlayStation in mind, before being brought to Windows PCs (twice), the Nintendo 64, the Dreamcast and eventually the Nintendo GameCube. The Dreamcast version of the game derives from the Windows PC port.

    The game is built around pre-rendered backgrounds, all of which were created for the 320x224 screen resolution of the original PlayStation. Seemingly no higher resolution backgrounds were created (or at least saved), meaning all subsequent ports rely on these low resolution assets. 3D models, however, are rendered at a higher resolution in the PC, Dreamcast and GameCube ports, meaning there is a disconnect between the low resolution 2D backgrounds and high resolution 3D models not evident in the original PlayStation version. This would not be an issue in the sequel, Resident Evil 3: Nemesis.

    Textures have a more reddish tone on the Dreamcast due to errors in the converting process, however all full motion video is played in full-screen in a 4:3 aspect ratio (higher than any other port, including the GameCube) at 30FPS. Most of the extras found in the Nintendo 64 version are missing from the Dreamcast port (as they are in other versions) and some audio cues are missing.
