Resident Evil 2002 Remake Unused Assets and Oddities

[Anonymous No.8741331]

I did some texture dumping and basic datamining of the NTSC Game Cube and Wii versions of Resident Evil and I found some stuff that isn't documented on TCRF or anywhere else as far as I can see. I'm going to go ahead and dump them here, as I'm not the type to bother editing a Wiki or making a video or something.

Starting with this one, seems to be an early or unused texture for Barry as it only dumps in Dolphin as soon as Barry is loaded. Seems to be the original photo of the model they based his face on.

Status Screen texture sheet. PANIC status is unused as well as the fingerprints and Jill, Chris, and Rebecca's positions.

>>8741337
Item box texture has on one of the usually impossible to see boxes inside of it (on the lower left of the dumped texture) the words Softimage and the old Microsoft logo. Probably because it was one of the tools used to make the game.

Every death mask uses the same texture, just mapped differently on the models. Also the big red blob in the lower left corner.

On zombie Forest's texture you can see his original model's (or drawn hard to tell) eye.

>>8741353
The texture of the fat naked zombie in the rear courtyard with the stairs to Elder Crimson Head is slightly higher resolution than the standard zombie textures, including some developer text with the texture size and internal name for the enemy in the UV layer of the texture.

George Trevor's grave has the text "Authorized Personnel Only Raccoon Police" carved under the RIP. Impossible to see in regular gameplay and very anachronistic.

[Anonymous No.8741376]

>>8741372
One of the booze bottles on the movable shelf in the piano room has a Jack Daniels label on it that is impossible to see in gameplay. The other labels are probably from real brands but I don't recognize them.

The dog that has the fake key collar actually has a unique texture with a different coat pattern, flesh wounds, sealed shut eye, and actually a textured collar.

[Anonymous No.8741387]

>>8741383
Regular dog texture for comparison.

Lisa Trevor's body texture has a ton of detail you can't see in game because of her rags and human skin mask. I speculate that they added the rag dress later in development because it was too revealing.

[Anonymous No.8741401]

>>8741393
Her human skin hat has a lot of detail hidden in its layers as well. It's pretty detailed and gruesome.

I can believe that. They also cut the Hunter decapitation that the trailers showed. Maybe Nintendo was squeamish about making it too graphic.

Map screen has an ITEM BOX CHECK icon, presumably at one point you could have a look at the contents of the item box at any time, or in real survival mode, what is in each specific item box.

The texture for the music notes has the hinge texture for the wooden mount. Earlier in development I presume you would have gotten the music notes and not the Mansion 2F map from the fireplace. I even went as far as replacing the texture for the mount with this one in Dolphin and it mapped on perfectly, so I'm pretty sure I got that right.

The higher res cutscene (from the hall with the dressing room and first dagger) texture of the white shirt zombie still has the face model's eyes underneath.

[Anonymous No.8741418]

>>8741416
Magnum rounds texture still has the Winchester 357 visible on the bottom of the bullet casing. It also just kind of stands out because unlike every other texture, parts of it kind of look like it was drawn haphazardly with a mouse.

[Anonymous No.8741426]

>>8741418
Removing the 3D model of the front door from the scene where you let a Cerberus in shows it leads to a blank void with some copy pasted and rotated trees. Still more detail than I expected.

[Anonymous No.8741430]

>>8741426
Same here, without the coffin lid you can see the rest of Lisa Trevor's mother's skeleton.

[Anonymous No.8741436]

>>8741430
Same here, you can see some extra detail and the void where the crushing ceiling usually is.

Excellent thread, anon. Thanks. This is some genuinely interesting stuff.

Different angle.

From the Wii Version there is this unused character select screen mockup. Since it's just a static image it's either a mockup or would of had some kind of selector texture switching between the two. It's kind of neat because it looks like Chris and Jill are wearing standard police uniforms in their ID photos.

>>8741440
Thanks. I just hope someone sees this and adds it to TCRF or otherwise archives it. I pulled these out of the game about a year ago and I only just started looking at the Wii Version. Since the Wii version is an actual port and it has a larger file size I think there may be more stuff leftover from the game's source files in the final ISO to mine out of it, like this character select. If I have some free time soon I'd really like to do a serious data mine because this is all just from running around with cheats on to dump all the textures and browsing whatever .tpl texture files I can find out in the open of ISO's file directories.

[Anonymous No.8741459]

>>8741457
That's all I have for now, although I think there is still a lot more to find. If this thread is still up tomorrow, I'll go ahead and post some similar stuff I found in Resident Evil 0, because there's some neat undocumented stuff in it as well.

I almost forgot, here's Barry's in game texture for comparison.

I'm a brainlet when it comes to this stuff, but could that be mapped to a model to see what it would have looked like in-game?

[Anonymous No.8741489]

>>8741482
Those textures are used in game, they're just layered over themselves and her rag dress. You could remove the dress to see what it looks like, but nobody has made a Lisa Trevor nude mod yet, unsurprisingly.

Looks like Hunter Biden.

[Anonymous No.8741870]

if you want I'll post them on TCRF but only if you tell me how you extracted them. Unlike half of the retards there I only post things I have verified myself.

This is the issue with the RE community. All this stuff has probably be known for 20 years except the community is still scattered among small forums like it was still 2002, with content locked behind registration, and everybody is too busy putting their watermarks on content rather than to centralize and post everything properly.

All of them were found using Dolphin's texture dumping feature, except for the Wii version's unused character select in which I dumped the ISO files useing Dolphin's file directory browser and pulled it out of a loose .tpl file using Brawlbox.

I'd like to go over it more thourougly and systematically at some point, I also have the Japanese trial ISO to go through. I think there's a lot to find, especially in the wii version.

>They also cut the Hunter decapitation that the trailers showed.
Didn't CERO put a stop to decapitations in Japanese games? IIRC Dr. Salvador can cut off your head in the American and European releases of Resident Evil 4, but he can't in the Japanese versions.

[Anonymous No.8742665]

>>8742457
CERO didn't exist when REmake came out. And you can still decapitate enemies. It's such a weird thing to cut because it's probably the most iconic death scene from RE1.

This is the one thing they were supposed to keep and changed. Why? It was so perfect.

Could be crude post processing, but likely the artist just drew it using a photo or actual cartridge for visual reference.

Shame TCRF is run by neo-communist trannies who literally ban anyone who doesn't respect pronoun culture, even if they've been on the website for years and done nothing else wrong.

Can't stand anyone from the AcmlmBoard circle, literal autism land and kinda precursor to all the modern day political crap.

[Anonymous No.8742926]

>>8741459
I don't know much about the development of Zero. Did it go through major changes? I've read that REmake was practically a 1:1 copy of RE1 up until fairly late in development which might explain things like the discarded character select screen being a carbon copy of the original.

You're also required to join their Discord server in order to make an account. And staff of TCRF has the audacity to bitch about the lack of contributions and that how long it takes to finish even the most popular titles.

At least we can take solace on the fact Rusty is clowning out harder than ever and Xkeeper's life is an autistic rage festival because he pays for his deadbeat roommates

About Rusty, does anybody happen to have the screencap of Rusty saying Nigger? Lost the pic at some point so don't have it.

I wish more pre-release stuff from the Remake survived. I saved this from a thread ages ago but you can tell it looks quite a bit different from the finished game.

Nothing super interesting so far, just some unused UI and placeholder type stuff. If this thread is still alive by the time I get back to my desktop with some free time I'll post it. If not I'll start a new thread at some point.

It's one of my favourite games of all time. I actually found a .txt file in a debug folder in the Japanese Trial version with the default settings for a debug mode.

[Anonymous No.8747858]

i have nothing remotely interesting to add but thanks op, seeing how they did texturework on a game like re1make is neat as hell. amazing that they managed to pack in so much detail into a bunch of muddy 256x256 textures
>>8741345
also the fact that there's technically a microsoft logo hidden somewhere in a licensed nintendo product made me giggle
