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.."

Now that I have RE4 and have been playing it for a few hours now I feel like I can comment.

The "behind the scenes" dvd we got... 3 out of 10 stars. There was no "making of" or anything. It really seemed like a 10 minute infomercial about the game. meh... The residentevil.com site has MUCH more and better "behind the scenes" footage.

Wiruu was talking about the camera issues between the RE games. The same issues are in RE4 also. Not to the same extreme, but they are still there. There have quite a few times when a wall or something has obstructed my view of impending doom causing me to have to reposition Leon in order to get a better look. Sometimes causing me to get attacked because I was trying to see better. Also, the camera seems to be a bit too close sometimes. That, or it is pointing too far towards the ground for my liking. But these are just minor things when you look at the game as a whole.

anyways.. I got off topic...
I read a quick blurb about how the RE team has already started production on the next game. Wouldn't it be great if they used some of the early RE4 stuff in the new game? The shirt article talked about how they are going to continue along the same path of RE4 - Umbrella: gone Zombies: gone Weird Sub humans: check (I haven't finished RE4 yet so I don't know the actual ending to the story). I love the footage of the ghosts from these japanese videos. The game looks tense as hell.
