Resident Evil 2 (GOG)

About this game:

If the suspense doesn't kill you, something else will...

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.

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.

The GOG 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:
