Versions

Beta Music

The Official Dreamcast Magazine May 2000 issue included a demo disc with an early build of Dead or Alive 2 dated 2000.01.07, this build predates the final version build (2000.03.06) by two full months and has three audio tracks that do not match the final console soundtrack or the earlier arcade soundtrack.

Beta Subtitles

The Official Dreamcast Magazine May 2000 issue included a demo disc with an early build of Dead or Alive 2 dated 2000.01.07, this build predates the final version's build date of 2000.03.06 by two full months and has a quite few differences in the text, included several lines being added to the final. The entire list has been extracted into a table below and differences are noted by bold text. A prototype of the European port of Dead or Alive 2 was released in 2017 with a build date of 2000.06.12, however, the English subtitles appear to be a byte-for-byte identical match to the final US build.

Technical information

In the Dreamcast version of Dead or Alive 2, the backgrounds display 30,748 to 51,894 polygons per scene, while the characters display 8416 to 9246 polygons each. This was the highest character polygon count in any video game at the time, surpassing Virtua Fighter 3 (about 7500 polygons per character), and it was significantly higher than the polygon counts in games for other consoles and PC at the time. In comparison, the highest polygon counts for PC games at the time were up to 15,000 polygons per scene (Quake III Arena) and 2500 polygons per character (Half-Life). The polygon count of Dead or Alive 2 was surpassed by the Dreamcast game Shenmue, released several months after the arcade release of Dead or Alive 2.
