Wonder if there are more details in the Famitsu or if we'll have to wait till Captivate 2011

This springs to mind..

The original vision for RE4

I'd love for it to be something like this! :)

Why have i never seen that RE4 should have been like that when it launched.

Do you know why they decided to scrap it like that??

Lamarthedancer5531d ago

They said it was too Paranormal for Resident evil :(

Shame it looked really good aswell

MGS_fanatico_5531d ago (Edited 5531d ago )

This version had an otherworldly feel to it, and combined the old with the still unexplored (over-the-shoulder view) - I'm assuming it was a bit too supernatural, and Resident Evil is all about viruses. :)
Still, I would've liked it!

They scraped this version because they wanted to make something entirely new, simply change the genre to reinvent the series.

Now it seems they've gone back to this and I have no complaints...Yet! :)

EDIT:
Rob beat me to it! ;)

Instead of scrapping the original version why didn't they just change up the story and characters and introduce it as a new IP?

8BitSoul5531d ago

There was actually 4 different versions of Resident Evil 4.

The first version was so drastically different from the series' roots, that they simply wrote out all the RE plot, and changed the name of the protagonist to Dante, and the game eventually became Devil May Cry.

The second version, commonly reffered to as "fog version", was around 40% complete when they decided to start over. The "fog version" would see Leon travel to Europe in search of Umbrella's secret HQ. The game did include Zombies, and at one point, Leon would get infected with the Progenitor virus, which would give him some supernatural powers.

The third version, shown in the YouTube link, was called "Hook-Man version" or Maboroshi no Biohazard 4 (Hallucination Biohazard 4). It dealt with paranormal activities, flashbacks and hallucinations, but was eventually scrapped, due to not being true to it's roots.
This was also the earliest known version to include the "over the shoulder view" style of aiming.

The fourth version included zombies again, but was eventually scrapped. Though a lot of the content from "hook-man version" and the fourth one, was carried over to the final version of Resident Evil 4.

It's a shame they threw this all away. I do like the new Resident Evil games, but I would be overjoyed if they did a new one in the traditional survival horror style, with zombies.

wow I never knew they created this before changing it for the current re4! even though i loved re4 for what it was, the gameplay and camera angles are what made the RE series so fun and scary. with that being said the code veronica remake is what i always have been waiting for.

Code Veronica is all I need. Will take that RE4 though :)

wwm0nkey5531d ago

Im shocked RE4 was ported to pretty much everything lol

Seriously though Code Veronica and RE4 on the MT framework (RE5) would be amazing!

wtf, good thing I already played and finished the game when it came out

walken796d ago

Once again hurting the people who purchase and support the game. Meanwhile pirates get the best version. Pathetic.

PRIMORDUS96d ago

There is already someone or a group called voices38, that has been cracking Denuvo games lately. Not the newest games, but getting there.

PRIMORDUS96d ago

I wonder if the pirated copies run better like this one titled here: "Resident Evil 4: Remake - Gold Edition (No Denuvo) (v1.5.0.0 + All DLCs + Bonus Content + MULTi14) (From 50 GB)"

Furesis96d ago

i don't think so? as far as i know even pirated version have denuvo or whatever runing in the background, they just trick it to say that yes this is a legit copy or just skip that process, but im not 100% sure. regardless this is an endless battle where legit consumer "suffer" sometimes. it's not that big of a deal MOST of the times and i understand publishers not wanting people to get access to their games for FREE so, i cant blame them honestly. i do find it odd that they wouldn't just remove DRM completely considering most people already played it? not like they are getting more sales anymore, just lower the price remove DRM but i guess thats why they still have it because they dont want to lower the price. oh well

1nsomniac95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

A perfectly acceptable excuse to pirate the game.

Why would you accept to pay for the game in order for it to install software you don’t want with the intention to make your playing experience worse. Paying for that would be the very definition of stupid.

I’m not against DRM but if it negatively effects a product you’re paying for. Then it’s on them not you.

You know I would have liked this if it was added on for free. A nice substitute for Assignment Ada.
