and UK versions retained the censored black-and-white video shipped with the original release.

However, only the French and German releases contained this footage. Chris is also shown smoking in his introduction, which was cut from Western releases.

Notable aspects of this video include shots of a corpse with bites taken out of the face, close-ups of zombie dogs bleeding when shot, and graphic quick-cuts of Joseph being bitten by these dogs. The original release of the Director's Cut advertised an uncut version of the opening cinema, in full color, and never-before seen. The default Beretta pistol is also changed to a chromed version with a randomized chance to kill standard zombies in one shot. Most of these changes are designed to play against the expectations of veteran players of the first Resident Evil - so zombie dogs may smash through new windows, or keys will not be where they were, forcing players to hunt for them anew. The default outfits for Jill, Chris, and Rebecca are changed, new camera angles are introduced, and the placement of key items is changed. "Arrange" mode is the "Director's Cut" version of the original. "Beginner" features double the amount of ammunition and save ribbons, plus increased health for the player, increased damage for their weapons, and an auto-target feature. "Original" contains the original game with no changes or additions. There are three gameplay modes available. Unlike Resident Evil for the GameCube, it is not a remake of the original game, instead, it is more of a slight remix. Resident Evil: Director's Cut is a reissue of the original Resident Evil.
