Porting of Resident Evil

Resident Evil has been re-released a number of times over the years, and on Windows and the PlayStation several times.

Director's Cut
Following the scrapping and redevelopment of Resident Evil 2, Capcom produced a second version of Resident Evil for the PlayStation, titled "Director's Cut", released September 1997. This version featured new backgrounds for a number of rooms, mostly from different angles but with some updated room designs for the laboratory. Enemy and item places were altered to make it more challenging to players of the original game, who would find their prior tactics nullified. This game is available for download on the PlayStation Network in Europe and Japan.

DualShock Ver.
The DualShock version was also released in 1997 for the PlayStation after the DualShock controller with analog controls and vibrations became the standard controller for the console. This version kept the changes made in the Director's Cut, with the Japanese version coming with local dubbing for the live-action cutscenes. A new score was composed by Takashi Niigaki on behalf of Mamoru Samuragochi. This game is available for download on the PlayStation Network in the United States.

Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn version was produced by a third party developer, Nextech, and was released in July 1997. It came with a minigame "Battle Game", and included new costumes as well as new enemies, a second Tyrant and a replacement to the Hunter named "Tick".

Deadly Silence
Resident Evil: Deadly Silence was released in early 2006 as part of the 10th Anniversary celebrations, produced by Keiji Inafune and Minoru Nakai. This version can be played in two forms, "Classic" and "Rebirth". "Rebirth" features first-person battle sequences; different enemy placements, including an optional Yawn battle in the guardhouse, and a new set of puzzles.
