Resident Evil 4: What it could have been... Options

[donkeybeatz]

Hey remember those old videos of RE4 that totally impressed a bunch of people?
With the release of RE4 in Japan, a DVD with lost footage and stuff (from the version(s) that got scrapped) was bundled with the game. All we got was like a 10 min. DVD barely-behind-the scenes clip.
Anyway, the version they show is creepy as hell. Honestly, compared to the current version, this one would probably wet your pants.
Check out the videos here: Pre-RE4

It also seems that Capcom has censored the Japanese version of the game (ex. Heads still visible and attached to the bodies when you do a headshot) and added an "easy" mode. =\

"There are terrible demons... owwwwch.."

I think there were ups and downs to this previous project. these are my initial thoughts.

-The fixed camera is good for scaring which is a plus, but it can also be very tedius when shooting and being thrown between screens.

-The Zombie Phantom thing was effing awesome, period. Though i'll take a El Gigante over a zombie phantom any day ;D

-The blue screen change = battle? I wasn't very fond of that, it takes away an element of fright when you KNOW something is happening or chasing you.

-The flashlight. I thought it was kind of cool, and i'm sure at first i would love it, though over time i would learn to hate it due to the fact it would probably result in many missed items and or ammo, even if it does flash, they tend to add little easter eggs which would make harder to find.

-Fixed aim? I couldn't tell whether it was or wasn't fixed. If it were fixed it would be just another resident evil. If not, it'd be hard as hell to aim when your looking leon straight in the face i think.

Final Analysis - I love RE4, it definetly looks like the previous story had some major depth and scares, but i think in the end, i'm happy the way it turned out

(zombie phantom was still way badass though)
