The E3 version of Dino Crisis 2, build compiled in April 27 2000 11:59:34, however possibly actually built before this date, since it's way too unfinished to be actually a build from April (there are trailers from around that time showing a more polished version, not to mention the Trial Version was built in less than two months after this one and that build is very close to the final game).
Folders are timestamped around September 1999 some other data around January, so safe to say this is either based on a late 1999 branch, or it's around January\February 2000
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This version has so many differences that it's even hard to point all of them out, sounds, dialogues, graphics, backgrounds, animations...heck even controls! I might plan of listing all of the differences through subtitles at some point.
Also this build, like the Trial Version, has the whole game in the data...but even more crazy, this one has a Debug Menu that is accessible without using hacks!

By turning on Item flag 91, its possible to trigger the Ship cutscene, where Paula ran away.
This also makes possible to access to the Ship minigame without jumping to it on the debug menu, however jumping back to the minigame room with the debug menu is needed, because the door sets the wrong coordinates.
Ive switched back to Regina here, because the ship cutscene uses Reginas player model, so if you trigger it with Dylan, youll get Regina with the wrong textures.
As you may have noticed, the minigame is quite broken and it cant be completed, it has some debug stuff that can be used with the controller on port 1, the controls are the following:
X: Removes part of the water background
O: Removes the HUD
L1 + Square: move backwards
L2 + Square: move forward.
Once arrived to the 3rd Energy Facility, youll see me abusing save states, because sometimes it may happen you either get stuck if you use the secondary weapon, or youll fall through the floor when you jump.
I also encountered a crash once, but never managed to trigger it ever again.")
