Thanks a lot to daisu1 for some of these images! Here we can also find the videos of the beta versions of the characters endings. A File 3 was supposed to follow shortly, but Capcom never bothered with the series again. At the end, Capcom decided to divide Resident Evil Online in two different games: Outbreak and Outbreak File 2. Their polygonal models are still inside the two outbreak games, and it is possible to access them using Gameshark codes.Īnother feature prominent in the original trailer was a four player split-screen mode, probably dropped for technical reasons. Of course, more levels meant more characters, and unfortunately they had to renounce to include personalities such as little girl with a gun (!), some UBCS members, the fan-favorite Hunk, a policewoman, and on so on. This beta version was much more ambitious than the game that we got in the end: originally there were about 20 playable scenarios, some of which were completely removed, notably a Dock stage and The Raccoon City Hotel, while others later appeared in Outbreak File 2, like “Flashback”, the episode located in the forest. Even if Capcom had already planned an online version of Resident Evil in 2000, Outbreak (aka Network Biohazard) was officially announced only at E3 2002.
