Resident Evil 2/Trivia


 * Hey It's That Voice:
 * Claire and Annette's voice actors voiced Jubilee and Mystique respectively in the 1990s X-Men cartoon.
 * Sherry shares a voice with Wanda Li.
 * What Could Have Been: Resident Evil 1.5, the original version of RE2, which was scrapped due to the developers being unpleased with the way it was going. It was similar to the game that would eventually be released, with the main differences being with the characters.
 * The female main character was Elza Walker, a college student and motorcycle enthusiast who is returning home to Raccoon City on vacation. She would be retooled into Claire Redfield in order to have a greater plot tie with the first game.
 * Robert Kendo (known here as John) and Marvin Branagh were to play much larger roles in the game, acting as supporting characters for Elza and Leon respectively. In addition, Ada was simply a researcher, Chief Irons was a sympathetic character rather than a villain.
 * There were going to be two different final bosses (Golgotha and Salem) that each respective character would fight near the end of the game. Also it was optional to save one, all, or none of the secondary characters Skip to 6:12 see more details.
 * The Chimera and Eliminator BOWs (which would appear in future games) were to serve as enemies.
 * The police station was going to look much more modern in appearance and awash with Bad Blue Lighting, as well as having a few more varieties of zombie cop (at the expense of zombie anything else), including the infamous fat zombies that didn't show up in an official game until RE 3.
 * Joke Character Tofu was used during development to test the game's hit detection.
