| It came today, just got home from work now and got a good 10 minutes of play out of it! It isn't worth making a video or anything like that but the most notable changes from the game that actually got released are;
Zombies are in different places on the way to the Police Station
Kendo doesn't fire a shot at the zombies
There's a typewriter in Kendo's Gun Shop where bullets took it's place
In the alley at the back of the gun shop, there is no van blocking your passage, you just jump over a dumpster and go forward, turn left and you're at the Police Station - There are still zombies behind the door that usually break through but you just run past them, they don't break down the door. A much shorter, less interesting way to the police station but begs the question why he didn't just jump over the van in the actual game!
The keys are completely different for the Police Station - Look different and have different names.
You go into Marvin's office and shock horror, Marvin isn't there - There are about 4 zombies in there and a key which opens the double doors to the left of Marvin's office - There is no item box in there. None of the zombies are Marvin so I'm just wondering if Marvin was due to be in the game at all or if you meet him later on?
You still see the licker scurry past the window but there is no cut scene, Leon just kneels down at the pool of blood and the licker drops.
I managed to get both rubys in the exact same way you do in the game, there are a few minor changes too, bullets in different places etc. There is also a shotgun in Marvin's office which helped with the licker!
The most notable change comes when in the S.T.A.R.S office, this is where the 'Resident Evil 2 Preview' ends. You pick up another key at the far end of the room where the Control Panel is and it switches to a cut scene - A gun shot just misses you and the camera pans to Ada stood there looking exactly the same way she does in the game, in exactly the same stance where she almost shot Leon in the underground car park.
Everything looks pretty much the same, couple of tweaks here and there but I actually enjoyed the 10 minutes I got out of it.

Maybe you were at one time able to save there?

I read somewhere that Capcom noticed this and deicded to make the route to the station longer because it seemed too short.

Well, he was originally supposed to be a companion character in 1.5.... maybe they hadn't decided to reuse him again yet? |

| Yeah, you were able to save there, an ink ribbon was beside it but when I tried to pick it up I just got 'This feature is not available in the preview'.
Yeah, I read on here that Marvin was a main character in 1.5, he didn't play a massive part in the final release so it is possible they just didn't use him at all. |

| Marvin is in there Martin (My buddy who is a amazing hacker/background builder) hacked a beta scene in where Marvin meets Leon and the most noticeable difference is that instead of encountering him on the floor you see him stagger into his office then collapse, he also managed to hack a bit more into the game so you can go further than the demo allows and also hacked an entirely different part in the STARS office instead of Ada firing and ending the demo Claire appears her and Leon do that whole discussion and as Leon leaves he encounters Sherry who runs into the hallway near the Library.
The different alley to the RPD can be used in the PC version of 2 all you need to do is swap RDT files around, also of note most of those backgrounds still haven't being 100% finished so some buildings you see in the distance haven't being built yet, the areas you can get into Via Martin's hacks are also different in terms of what the room looks like and of course (i've mentioned this) the last segment of rooms from 1.5 are on the disc and can be viewed it covers the Labs,warehouse and factory areas sadly anything before that including the 1.5 sewers and RPD doesn't exist =/ there's thousands of things that are different and this makes me now want to document them more >.< |

Uh yeah he does. When the zombies break the glass, watch, he fires one shot off before they take him down |

I just checked on YT and yes, apparently he does in some version. Not in the PC version though and that's the one I have._________________ ~The Weapon of Mass Distraction~ COMMUNITY:Resident Evil Forums Steam Group: [link]Resident Evil Forums Facebook: [link]Come check my Let's Plays: [link] |

Ah, my mistake. I only have the PS1 & N64 versions, so I didn't know that the scene was altered in the PC version |

| Yeah, he shoots on the PS version - I remember that because sometimes when I actually bother to shoot the zombies and pick up the gun, there's always one bullet missing |
