I always thought Resident Evil 3.5, or whatever you want to call the prototype RE4, looked really badass. Even though RE4 was amazing, I would have loved to play the other one, too.Quote:

Believe or not, there were actually three RE4 betas (not counting the RE4 beta that became Devil May Cry). Although, unlike RE1.5, I don't think any of them got beyond the experimenting stages.Quote:

Build 3 is the "Zombie Version", which was rejected as being too formulaic and was never shown at public.
I heard rumors that ideas and concepts from Build 2 were developed into Haunting Grounds/Demento.
Here's an article which unravels some of the hidden content in the Resident Evil 4 demos.

I thought the hook man version was and extension of the fog version. It didn't look like an overhaul, anyway.
EDIT: Although, interestingly enough, The Hook man version looks to use the over the shoulder camera from the final RE4. I never noticed that. I wonder how it would have turned out. It looked good.
I had no idea you were excited about that game.Quote:

They announced a Kill Bill game back in the day, but it was later canceled. That's one I woulda really liked to play.
Here's some gameplay footage. The camera follows Leon from behind in some areas, but switches to high angles in others. It does use the aiming system from RE4.Quote:

Check out this site for behind the scenes information on cancelled titles, including the demo wrongly assumed to be Final Fantasy 64 and one of them Earthbound games for SNES.
Completely forgot about that game :(Quote:
