Not a true scenario, but a tutorial and a means for players of the original Outbreak to learn some of the new gameplay mechanics available in File #2. In Japan, the game came packaged with a demo of Devil May Cry 3 (if pre-ordered).ĭespite the financial success of the first title, File #2 sold roughly 40% of what the first did when it was released in Japan, dampening the chances of a future installment.

At 75, he was worldly and wise, sloppy and slovenly, aloof and insightful in a way that managed to be wildly infuriating and incredibly endearing at the same time.Resident Evil Outbreak File #2 ( Biohazard Outbreak File #2 in Japan) is an online game for the PlayStation 2. To say Chuck was eccentric doesn’t do justice to the combination of wit, stubbornness, intelligence, thoughtfulness and occasional biting crankiness that defined him.

A few times recently I have opened the photos on my laptop, looking for some random image or another, only to find a screenshot of a FaceTime call with Chuck in the early days of his illness.
