Resident Evil: True Director's Cut

RESIDENT EVIL: TRUE DIRECTOR'S CUT

Happy Resident Evil 25th Anniversary! On March 22nd 1996, Capcom released in Japan the first game with the “Survival Horror” tag on the PlayStation: Biohazard, released a week later in
the West as Resident Evil. The game was a major success, selling over 2.75 million copies at the time.

Sadly, Resident Evil suffered from some questionable censorship. One year later, in 1997, the game received a Director’s Cut update, with many additions, including “the complete uncut
and uncensored Resident Evil cinemas”, as stated on the back of the case. The latter was however false, allegedly due to a manufacturing error. So, when Capcom decided to re-release the
game for a third time in 1998, featuring DualShock support and an orchestrated soundtrack, one could think that they finally fixed this issue, right? Wrong.

This simple project aims to restore content from the various releases of the game, such as the Beta, Trial, or original Japanese versions, including:

- The original uncut FMVs from the Japanese version, alongside the full-color opening scene from the French and German Director’s Cut release.
- The Mansion’s Bathroom from the 01/31/1996 Beta version, which allows you to grab an extra Clip after unplugging the Water in Jill’s scenario.
- The Mansion's 2nd Floor Right Stairs wall message in blood, from the Japanese Trial Edition of the game.
- The Mansion's 2nd Floor Main Hall unknown music track, in the scene when Jill meets Barry again ("it's reeaally powerful"), sourced from the 01/31/1996 Beta version (only on Easy and
Original modes).
