Resident Evil 3.5 (RE 4 beta) WOW!

Has anyone seen this video? Apparently, this is the version of resident evil 4 that was scrapped in favor of the new one we all are familiar with.

Think of what RE 4 could have been, or even RE5 for that matter.

made a link for you.

it looks good. old fashion RE.

Good thing they changed it then. This looks like it would have been a decent game at best(although much scarier)

Resident Evil 4 ended up being one of the best games of all time.

I can honestly say I would prefer this style of RE4 over the current one. The only part of RE4 i enjoyed was the village, the rest was pretty bleh.

They should make a new RE like that, with a few tweaks it would be awesome

Thats cool, Ive always perfered the old re, you know, when it was an actual adventure game, without the action elements.

I can tell I would have hated it. No human being moves like that and his shoes sound like they are made of wood. Black_Knight_00

Yeah, I would have liked to play this.

That LOOKED awesome, but I bet playing it was a whole different story...(it probably controlled like ****)

wow that looks creepy as hell.

I remember watching the original trailer for RE4, but had never seen the actual gameplay footage. Cool find. :)

If RE4 followed the same course as the first three RE games it would have hurt the franchise. I am a die hard RE fan and I can honestly say I like the changes made in 4 and 5. Neither of those games were "scary" by any means, but the more action-oriented game play in both games breathed new life into the series. I'm liking the new direction the franchise is taking on the Wii too with the rail shooters. Now if only they could make GOOD Resident Evil movies...

This looks like it would have been scary as hell. I wish it would have gone through and not gotten scrapped. Wow!

I can tell I would have hated it. No human being moves like that and his shoes sound like they are made of wood. I love the dynamic lighting though. Very nice. Wish that feature was in RE4. Or 5 for that matter...Black_Knight_00

The sound effects were probably placeholder since this is just a BETA. May I just ask - why do you have a problem with how he moves? He's fighting ghosts that can walk through walls. It isn't meant to be realistic. Its meant to be tense.

I remember seeing that and being excited. By the time RE4 showed up in it's eventual form I forgot about this scrapped version. If I remember correctly they restarted RE4 at least twice before the final version.

sucks that they changed it

but i guess they wanted the story and atmosphere to be less "supernatural"

which is understandable, but made the game (and following game) less then scary

This is a beta guys, the sound effects and basic structure are just placeholders.

It looks a lot creepier. There is another video where Leon goes into a kitchen area and he gets attacked by demonic babies. Creepy....

I'm sort of glad, since just randomly adding supernatural to RE's usual Sci-Fi like horoor wouldn't have fit, it definitely would have been cool to keep the scares in RE (although those regenerators scared the crap out of me in 4).

DMC (Devil May Cry)was originally going to be RE4, but they realized just how different it was from RE and changed it up a bit 80% of the way through. You can sort of tell it could have been DMC with all the similar boss fights, Dante looking like Leon, the "You have died" screen, and the control and camera style.

Interesting. I've never actually seen gameplay footage of that version of Resident Evil 4 before, just the trailers. It certainly looks interesting. I'm not sure about the enemies though. Dolls with knives, while granted is pretty creepy, seems like a silly enemy to be fighting. The battle with the guy with the hook didn't seem particularly thrilling either. Don't get me wrong, I still love the old style RE games, but I feel Mikami did the right thing with the series overhaul. This thing obviously has some new things going for it, but isn't a huge departure from the old formula.

weirdly, that 5 minute video was scarier than anything in resident evil 5shocka-delica

I don't think they really aimed to scare people with RE5, I think by the time 5 came out it was more about action than chills. Still a really good game though I have yet to play a Resident Evil game that I haven't liked...Well, except for the Survivor and Outbreak games. Those games were kinda mediocre

that is some of the most predictable stuff i have ever seen...i couldn't even watch the video over 3 mins because of that.

I'm not saying i prefer RE4 in any way tho...i couldn't get myself to finish the game after i made a pause of a week (was about 70% done)

Bah! That would have been so much better then the god awful crap we ended up with. RE4 and 5 have zero appeal to me.

Seeing RE go from a scary survival horror, to a gears of war style game was such a dissapointment. And I didn't much like the storyline (which made the first RE's so engaging). But I guess they wanted to focus more on gameplay trhen story. Suffice to say, My interest in RE came to an end with RE4.

And BTW, my post that got modded. I was not insulting the other poster, just the games.

I meant that RE4/5 had the same gameplay style as GeOW. But I think both games inhereted they're gameplay from Kill.Switch (2004), which is not the style I'd want for RE. I thought REmake had a strong emphasis on story (it's also my favorite game in the series) becuase it answered a ton of questions, and filled us in more on what happened. And yeah I'll admit RE4 was still similar to the previous games story wise. RE5 seemed way to wacky to me, even for an RE game.

Oh sorry, I'll keep that in mind.

My first thought was that it looked similar to code veronica. But I yeah, I guess it was just RE4 with a different camara, slower paced.

I like that game play better the whole resident evil 4 and 5 has turned me away from the series Is like they wanted to make it a shooter

I loved every Resident Evil game in the series, original style and new "action" style.

The first one will always be my favorite (remake especially...) RE4 was awesome, beyond awesome as well.

wow. :D.. that was interesting.. :P..
