For those of you who have played Resident Evil 4, you know how the gameplay and concept seems to differ greatly from Resident Evil's 0-3 and the spin offs. Well... it seems that wasnt the origional plan. First... read the following from wikipedia: "Officially announced in 2001, Resident Evil 4 underwent a long development period in which three proposed versions of the game were discarded by the developers before the finished product was released in 2005. An earlier attempt in developing Resident Evil 4 was made from sometime in 1998 to 2000 for the PlayStation 2, with Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya leading the project. The first year was primarily spent on R&D of what the project would be, and included a trip to Spain for the development staff to study Spanish castle architecture. The direction the project took was considered too much of a departure from the traditional Resident Evil style and the resulting game was revamped and released as Devil May Cry in 2001. In Devil May Cry, several similarities can be observed when compared to the Resident Evil games, hinting that those parts were 'leftovers' from the development of that version of Resident Evil 4, including: The "Phantom" boss, a gigantic spider, a monster design that has appeared in almost every Resident Evil game. The "Marionette" is a puppet-type enemy. They have no brain of their own and act as cannon-fodder, like the zombies from the Resident Evil games. The "Blade" enemy is modelled after the "Hunter" enemy from the Resident Evil series. The development of Resident Evil 4 got its official start in 2001 for the GameCube as part of an exclusivity agreement between Capcom and Nintendo. The first proposed version, dubbed the Fog Version, was unveiled in the Tokyo Game Show in 2002 and had Hiroshi Shibata (background designer for Resident Evil 3: Nemesis) attached to the project. This version's premise featured Leon infiltrating Umbrella's HQ in Europe, getting infected by the Progenitor Virus (covered in the Resident Evil remake and Resident Evil 0) and fighting fog-like creatures. One of the most notable areas shown in this version was a flying airship. However, Capcom scrapped the second beta of Resident Evil 4 quietly and created a new version without any outside announcement. After the Fog Version came the Hooked Man Version. First shown at the E3 in 2003, this version was set in a haunted mansion and featured Leon fighting what appeared to be paranormal enemies, such as medieval suits of armor and living dolls. It also seemed that there two different worlds, one relatively normal and one where the bizarre enemies would apear, similar in many ways to the Silent Hill game series. The most notable enemy in this version was the aforementioned "Hooked Man", who was intended to be a recurring enemy in the game, along the lines of the role of The Nemesis. The game displayed numerous elements that have been carried over to the final release: The camera moves to over Leon's shoulder when his weapon is drawn. However, in the video, there are a few times when Leon aims without the over-the-shoulder camera. The game reverts to a third-person view like a traditional Resident Evil game. A red laser sight for Leon to use during aiming. The flashlight that is added to Leon's character design. A suit of armour suddenly attacking you when you attempt to pass it, as well as the button combination to dodge the attack. The ability to throw a grenade. The concept of assigning the L button to draw another type of weapon. You can use a grenade in the beta, but it is a knife in the final release. The 'struggle' feature where you have to break free from an enemy's grasp. Leon's health indicator. In the beta, it flashes when Leon is hurt, but in the final release the developers decided to add a HUD to display more information. This version was so scary that Shinji Mikami himself warned the gamers with a famous quote "Don't pee your pants" prior showing the initial trailer at E3. Gameplay footage of this version was featured in the Biohazard 4 Secret DVD released in Japan only. This version was scrapped due being far too paranormal for the Resident Evil plot. The final proposal before the finished product reportedly featured zombies as enemies once again. Not much was known about this version as it was never shown publicly. It was considered too formulaic by the developers and was discarded. After this, Shinji Mikami took over directorial duties from Shibata and began working on the version that was released. At the last beta version, again, several things were changed during the development. Resident Evil 4 was to retain the inventory slot system, but was changed to the attache case." As you had read, there were 3 beta versions before the real deal. Well, I have found one of the beta version videos, the "hooked man" video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo_hMbJQeU4 |

I knew it was going to be different, but I don't know if I can believe they turned it into Devil May Cry.... I saw an old video of it and it was alot different and, imo, looked better and more scary. |

Yeah, I myself think that even though tha game was awesome, the concept and story was a little, gay or retarded or somthin. I mean it was way off topic from most RE games. It woulda been better if tha gameplay was tha same but it was still like tha typical RE games. |

Well, because Europe is a fitting setting for this place.  And 2pac, I don't think I would have liked a regular Resident Evil game.. I'm glad they changed it up, or else it would be the same thing they've done over and over and over. |

They were a success, because they were fun. I guarantee you anymore of the same old same old and people will start moving away from it, because they'l think they lost their magic and can't be original. |

But the new concept, Las Plagas, annoys tha hell outta me. And RE has lost its scary effect. I had no chill moments at all in RE4. I like the effects of RE2 senario B (Mr. X chasin u) and RE3 (Nemesis chasin u). That got freaky. |

That was nuttin, its like you know whats happening. Its not a suprise or nuttin. What I think is scary is tha stuff like when you run down a normaly empty hallway and suddenly zombie arms break through the windows and grab at you. Or the Tyrant just busts through a wall in a normaly calm moment. Things like that. |

Nothing? It was nothing knowing there were 100s to 1000s of zombies coming after you? I agree though an arm breaking through a window is scarier. I prefer atmospheric scares the most. |
