Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between the Dual Shock version and the original? The Dual Shock version includes support for the analog sticks and vibration on the PlayStation controller, a slightly rearranged soundtrack on the main menu, and the exclusive "Battle Game" minigame, which was not present in the initial release.

Do I need to play Leon's story to understand Claire's? No, Claire's story is a complete, standalone campaign that runs parallel to Leon's. However, playing both and linking your "A" and "B" game saves will give you the most complete picture of the overall narrative and the game's true ending.

Is the game as scary as people say it is? Absolutely. The combination of fixed camera angles that obscure your view, the spine-chilling sound design, limited resources, and the constant threat of the relentless Mr. X creates an intense and genuinely frightening experience that has defined the survival horror genre for decades.
