History Trivia / ResidentEvilOutbreak

** Due to both modders hacking into the games and an interview with Creator/AlysonCourt who was the voice director for ''File #1'', additional details on scrapped content and scenarios were revealed. Among them are the following:

*** "A Day In Raccoon", a scenario where you would go to the motel with the same name and meet the owner, a man named Mickey who had a very hostile personality even towards the motel guests and was implied to have been keeping dark secrets who would have been attacked by a T-virus creature and become a zombie, and go through the motel collecting video tapes in order to learn the secrets surrounding Mickey and the motel.
** Scrapped enemies found in the game's files included a giant Grub, carnivorous plants, a fat zombie that was naked, a baby spider, a G-virus infected dog called "G-dog" that was growing a second head from it's neck as a result of the virus, more leech enemies, a Tyrant that resembles the T-002 from the first game and Lickers that looked more like they did in Resident Evil 2.
** A submachine gun weapon called the "Sub machinegun FP" and Anti BOW gas rounds for the grenade launcher were originally going to be in the game.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Early previews of the first ''Outbreak'' mentioned that a full twenty scenarios were plotted (which is why some of the first screenshots used to promote the original ''Outbreak'' are clearly from the "Flashback" scenario in ''File #2''), but only ten of them were ever published, with five appearing in each game. There were plans to release a ''File #3'', and some of the bonus characters from that game exist on the ''File #2'' disc, but word of mouth absolutely murdered ''File #2'' and the game tanked hard. The remaining ten scenarios may never see the light of the day. Additionally, some modders have hacked into the game files and found out the game was supposed to be a ''single 3-disc game containing all of the scenarios'', but ultimately ended up being split into ''File #1'' and ''File #2''.

* NamesTheSame:
** David King shares his name with a later-created survivor in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight''.
** This George Hamilton is not [[Creator/GeorgeHamilton the actor]].

* NamesTheSame: David King shares his name with a later-created survivor in ''VideoGame/DeadByDaylight''.

* The only three main characters with no scripted deaths in either game are Kevin, Mark, and Jim.
* There are characters named Mark, David, and Jim Chapman. As in the person who killed Music/JohnLennon, Mark David Chapman.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Would the games have been better received with voice chat? Or released for the PC or at least a console with better online architecture than the [=PS2=]?
** The game required a hard drive and a network adapter to reach its full potential, so naturally Capcom released it for a system which came with neither. [[SarcasmMode If only there was a system on the market]] that [[{{Xbox}} had both as standard features]].
*** What's funny about this is that Sony eventually corrected one of these flaws at the expense of the other - the later-model "Slimline" [=PS2=] came built with an Ethernet port, but was completely incompatible with the [=PS2=] hard drive.
** The game, as originally presented by Capcom to the gaming press, was supposed to be comprised of twenty scenarios. It actually launched with five, with ''File #2'' offering five more.
*** Data for ''File #3'' is on the ''File #2'' disc, and can be accessed with a Game Shark. This mostly consists of a number of additional playable [=NPCs=], which includes HUNK, a couple of members of his strike team, and a plumber dressed like David.
** A new game (possibly) known as ''Resident Evil Outbreak: [[VideoGame/ResidentEvil6 Tall Oaks]]'' was leaked for the PS Vita with some cover artwork, but it seems to have been quietly cancelled.
