Bad Export for You: You think the games are bad now there's no online? In Europe and Australia, File #1 was always that way. Those regions never got multiplayer until File #2.
Vaporware: File #3 was cancelled due to poor sales of the second installment compared to the first.
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.
Due to both modders hacking into the games and an interview with Alyson Court, who was the voice director for File #1, additional details on scrapped content and scenarios were revealed: Among them are the following:
A scrapped scenario where the main characters would come across USS soldiers and eventually fighting against William Birkin himself. While the scenario was scrapped, Birkin still appeared in the opening cutscene of File #1.
A scrapped scenario involving a refugee camp in the city where a woman and her child tried to enter, only the child was revealed to be infected and had already become a zombie, being one of the first zombie children ever portrayed in the series.
A scrapped scenario involving Raccoon Pier, a Pier on the river near the city, where you would have helped a UBSC mercenary in a life jacket named Clint and attempt to escape by boat before encountering a giant and burned Neptune as the scenario boss.
"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 B.O.W. gas rounds for the grenade launcher were originally going to be in the game.
