Comment on When Capcom brought in a professional screenwriter for the original Resident Evil 2, it was his idea to fully embrace the series' goofy puzzles: 'We’ll just have to make the police chief a weirdo!'

They didn’t just change the existing game. At the time, resident evil 2 was almost finished and, based on the screenwriters feedback, they scrapped the whole game and started over. Apparently you can get a leaked build of the original game, usually called resident evil 1.5 but it’s not very good.

The story of 1.5 is absolutely insane. Here’s a really well made documentary style video about it. There’s so many people that got their hands on the build of the game and refused to make it public because they wanted to extort money from the community, make a name for themselves by “fixing” the game, or just wanting to be a special lil boy who has the only copy on a rotting disc.

    Oh, the video must be region locked or something. They have a “global reupload” so maybe this link will work? If it doesn’t, the video is called The Unreleased Game That Ruined Lives - A Resident Evil Story by the channel LiussGaming if you want to search for it
