  • silent hill + fatal frame + resident evil = the best survival horror game i've ever seen

  • this is to silent hill like.

    ghost, shadows and so on.

    but the atmosphere ist awesome.

  • @Elmalab i totally agree with you. It's like silent hill style, too much ghosts and impossible things that happen.

  • looks like a very potential version for resident evil 7 :), 6 is going to be epic but I want this version to at least be released.

  • I don't think any of the RE4 betas would have been better than the final game. The grass is always greener on the other side, people would whine their asses off if RE4's main enemy was black fog, or if it had Silent Hill esque monsters. I loved RE4, the gameplay was a necessary evolution from the dated gameplay of Code Veronica. But I do hope Capcom takes a few hints from Dead Space 1&2 and gets the series back to its horror roots. Fingers crossed for RE: Revelations!

  • @Bewt re6 now....

  • the reason why it got cancelled is because capcom wanted the game to be available for the ps2 too, and the ps2 couldn't handle these graphics, and because it almost had nothing to do with resident evil at all, it had ghosts and shit so they decided to do it all over again

  • It seems every RE has a beta that looks way better than the finished game, especially RE5's beta.

  • @NTom92 do you know why re5 beta was changed. because in the trailer it was only chris in the game. and all he was doing was shooting black people.. and people thought that was raceist. anyway do you know why this was changed

  • @megagangster321 yes, i know. It was just all bullshit because the game would'e been way better if it was just Chris, no Sheva

  • you know?

    they should continue working on this and make it RE6

  • i love how the graphics are better in the beta versions than in the final product, i understand why they didnt do it though. while re4 had no zombies it was still centered around a mass infection and this is more like silent hill. oh and the fog creature looks like the ouroburos BOW

  • Comment removed

  • ive always hated this beta basically all you do is fight posessed dolls o3o i will always be obsessed with 1.5 though that game well demo was beast xD

  • who the hell disliked this?

  • Wow, that was pretty scary looking compared to the final version and i see the Leechman which was in RE Outbreak and i think RE5.

  • What's this? "The Monster" from LOST?

  • I agree, I'd rather of played this game, it looked a lot more ominous and dark, the way RE games should be. Not zombies speaking spanish!

  • I remember in 2003 reading about this and seeing pics of the fog and I was so into it and could not wait to play it but when I heard it was delay I was pissed and we got re4 for gamecube and it was an ok game but 3.5 are always in my wildest dreams like I hope capcom will remake this idea and call it something else

  • If you look closely you can see elements (other than Leon's jacket) that made it into the final RE4;

    0:29 The billowing curtains

    0:52 Stone textures used in RE4

    0:54 Church and fences

  • @Relugus That monster in the fog was also the inspiration for the one in Resident Evil 5 (Uro Borus).

  • You know, I love RE4, but some of these betas look so fucking awesome. At the very least Capcom should do something with the "Hookman" beta.

  • @Toasty3D Only reason they dropped it was because NO ONE played RE: Gaiden on the GBA.. this was going to be the follow up to that, Leon was infected at the end, and it lead him to this.. mansion place. But because lack of sales, the droped RE:Gaiden from the canon and we got RE4 of today... really wish they would go back to this kinda thing, when it was actually scary and not all Action Evil.

  • @Toasty3D they did something with the RE4 beta's.. two things to be precise: 1 Devil May Cry 1 and some parts were reused for a game called Demento (Haunting Graund).. but there are so little things in those games demento has some maps just minorly tweaked and DMC1 barely anything at all...

  • It must have been the same as in Ocarina of Time

    Guy1: ok we have made the most tedious boring level of hopelessness of all time and is the Water Temple

    guy2: if the water temple is ......

    Why not, the final boss is WATER !!!!!!

    Guy1: OOOOO YOU do it again !!!!!

  • @death13935893 I couldn't understand any of what you just said

  • this would be cool as long as the virus doesn't kill him

  • anyone have the room of this¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ i look very videos of this and i it looks like someones playing

  • they scrapped this because leon died and the virus took over......

  • @HandPrintProduction at the end but still leon dying what suck

  • BIOHAZARD: Vanishing on the 7th street

  • lol Resident evil wasnt ever really scary... i mean it has moments when your like...oh snap! but not really scared.

  • @TheCharm93 lol I wish I had that kind of courage. I couldn't play 20 minutes of it without my hands sweating, health on the last (bar?) and running like Hell from the chainsaw guy. xD

  • i cant get it why they did that flip with Resident Evil...they just had to finish this version, the athmosphere looks better than in the ps one resident evil's...great idea

  • Gammeacube!!!! PMSL! I WANT THIS VERSION SOOOOO BADDDDD!

  • deformed monsters + fog = Silent Hill

  • I hate capcom for not letting him finish RE4 the way he wanted, glad he quit...

  • scary but demons 

  • acc

  • this would have been the most scariest RE game ... what was its story any way ?? I mean i know Leon gets contaminated by that shitty virus but how ??

  • Anybody noticed that the Uroboros virus was based off this?

  • @Hypercosmo1 uroburos virus was created by the progenitor virus thats why, (Progenitor virus RE0, T-virus was also created by he progenitor virus)

  • I hope they release this game.. it;s looks good, maybe they should release it for RE 4 DLC (for PC) because I wanted to play this game so much.. this game has better graphic, better gameplay, and scarier, I'm okay with ghost, it will make the game a lot scarier, I hope the next RE will looks like this game

  • and the fog is uroboros

  • is it me or does the fog and hookman versions have better graphics?

  • can't wait for RE Revelations. X3 Back to the roots, finally!

  • @DeweyTheTotodile Back tho te roots? They should drees like normal people then, not using those freak suits...

  • @DeweyTheTotodile there are those RE4 regenerator type creatures in revelations instead of zombies, back to roots my ass.

  • @KurikazuTheWarrior I mean it's finally a survival horror game again. New style, but finally a scary RE.

  • @DeweyTheTotodile true, then again i was shiting bricks when i first encountered the regenerators in RE4. It went from hostile spanish people, to parasite heads, to this unstoppable monster with one weak point that could kill you very quickly.

  • @KurikazuTheWarrior To me RE 4 and 5 aren't that scary. . They're 3rd person shooters (good ones I might add) with some creepy moments, but that's it. Revelations is gonna be a real survival horror game again, in 3rd person. Could make it a lot more intense. But you're right about the creatures. I want the skinheads and dogs back.

  • @DeweyTheTotodile the only scary moment in 5 was Wesker, not the final fight the one before it. Knowing wesker was fucking pissed and ready to literally beat the shit out of you. Other than that i like 5 but its not much scary.

  • oh shit, this one is a lot more scarer then RE4

  • why did Capcom cancel this game? 

  • @pizzaman10ful they thought that it didnt feel like resident evil due to the supernatural themes

  • @tapion567 oh I see..thank for answer. I believe the feeling of resident evil is important.

  • If they release this game they HAVE to add resident evil 1.5 as a bonus on the disk

  • Finish this game and give it to the fans pleaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!!!!

  • THIS should be the continuation of the BIOHAZARD series not that stupid action game called RE4 & 5 and anyone who thinks the opposite without playing RE1, 2 & 3 is an ignorant ¬¬

  • @Quimeradefuego666 you are ignorant. I played RE0, RE1, RE2, RE Outbreak File 1 and 2, Resident Evil Code Veronica, Resident Evil 4, and finally Resident Evil 5. I enjoyed them all but didnt like RE5 due to the fact that once you play through the game once its boring, unlike the others in which are awesome no matter how many times you play it.

  • I never liked RE5 not for the lack of zombies, or that your in the open and not so many cramped places, for me I found it to fast paced, more of a shoot them up, than a horror survival, nothing keeping you on the edge apart from your partner dieing.

    RE4 was interesting, is was more of a shoot them up with every odd enemy you gun down you have some ammo to pick up, but you still had that sence of isolation, I would like capcom to go back to the older games, I loved RE remake.

  • Man RE 4 was awesome if you experienced the first 3 when they were RELEASED. Seeing the series evolve to 4 was a great experience and even though I think it's time to go back to their roots, don't trash RE 4 just because 5 had too much action. RE 4 was one of the best games ever made, I usually don't trash opinions but if you think 4 sucks than you don't know crap about gaming. 4 was almost flawless.

  • @Trill104 alot of people arent saying re4 was crap, they are saying it isnt scary i play re4 all of the time now its amazing and a lil scary but this would be scary they should release something like this, maybe as an add-on to the re4 being remade or something

  • First Capcom scraped Resident Evil 1.5 and then this..they never learn from mistakes -.-

  • @LadyTutorial they scraped re5 too

  • I remember seeing this in a magazine when i was younger... Why capcom why.........? Why did you have to canel this version? i liked the retail version that we all know of today, but this is what a resident evil game should look like! especially re4! I want T_T

  • this would be great

    

  • Too bad they didn't leave his Desert Eagle from RE2 in it..woulda made things a hell of a lot easier..

  • Change ending to fit story, but remake!!!! Doesn't really look bad the way it is even!!! Just say it happened before or after RE4 and go for it. This could have the origional feel of the resident evil games (1,2,3). I say why not? They already put the work in? If people buy it, cool. ( which i think they would, i would).

  • @vettepier Hell yeah, it'd work.

  • WHY THE FUCK DID HE NOT GET HIS JACKET BACK :( that jacket was fucking badass. i would go the whole game without the tactical armor if it means getting that jacket back.

  • @986401 Agreed, even Ada had the chance to but didn't.

  • Supposedly, the reason they cancelled this version was because Leon was to die at the end because he became infected with the virus, and the majority of the development team didn't like that, so they started work on the "Hook-man" version of RE4, which eventually became the RE4 that we all know today.

  • re4 sucked sorry but i mean i would have rather bought this than the actually game and it goes with gaiden for those of u RE fans that beat the game u know wat im talking about

  • gameacube lol

  • 200X, was a great year!

  • What could've been... Goddamn it, Capcom!

  • where can we get this from? i know its a scrapped project, but surly this beta relise must be around,

    as i dont belive capcom would have compleatly distroyed this work

  • CAPCOMGuy1:Ok we've resorted to fog in a zombie game,I think we're out of ideas how do we save this game?

    CAPCOMGuy2:A Teenage Girl,Angry Midget,Pissed off Spanish people and slap a beard on the green trenchcoat guy in 2....

    CAPCOMGuy1:Perfect!

  • @ANGRYMAPLE LOOL

  • @ANGRYMAPLE Eh? so you're mocking re4 developers, dude, what do you know about developing a game really? Nothing!, sad thing is your comment received thumbs up from another 34 idiots,

    even calling the mayor guy a copy of that green trench tyrant when really he's a normal human and him wearing a trench coat is a "homage" to re2, if you ever heard of that term, but ugh it cant be helped with you and another asshole here who strangely wants resident evil to rip-off silent hill.. *sigh*

  • @exelentdude I've actually been studying game design for the last few years now and if it's one thing Ive learnt is every company HAS to cut corners if they want to release a game fast,and CAPCOM of all companies release the same game over and over with slight tweaks.And about Mr X and the mayor I guess youre too much of a stuck up fuck to take a joke and a little sarcasm,Im really sorry about your lack of understanding there,really I am.Finally I want RE to be RE again. Yknow when it was scary?

  • @ANGRYMAPLE but that brings us all to the question: were the old re games really scary? not really.i remmber it freaked me out, but thats all when i was 9, its all due to the zombie concept, they're scary but they're slow as hell and doesnt has a single long-range attack, to match the new online gamning market they needed new controls and more challenging enemies, what would you expect of a game were aiming is completely AIMBOT nowadays anyway? though if they include crimson heads it'd work too

  • @ANGRYMAPLE Amen to that brother.

  • Cool-looking but its obvious why they didn't go with this. Strayed way off course. Granted they still strayed a LITTLE bit with las plagas

  • they should finish this game and release as Resident Evil 6, i'm ok with ghost zombies... much better than not-zombies cabrones

  • @VonSeux Then it would be a really misleading title...

  • @VonSeux well look to September 15th thats when there announcing details for re6

  • @VonSeux Oh, so true, you spoke my mind.

  • @VonSeux I don't think it would fit in with the franchis but I do think they should make a game out of this footage. Maybe for a different capcom series like Clocktower maybe

  • @VonSeux No thats retarded then you idiots are going to complain its too much like Silent Hill like before.

  • This would have nothing to do with the RE story and thats why it got scraped

  • @ajax9302 .... they then used it to make devil may cry

  • @artiseLBP o wow i didnt know that

    

  • ummm....did lost creaters took the black smoke idea from this trailer?

    hmmm it looked like leon was shooting at it

  • ghost, damn

  • why this version never came out? its AWESOME !!! even the story is better ; leon is infected by the progenitor virus and he needs to find the cure, but also he is trying to rescue sherry who was kidnapped by wesker.

    i hope re6 looks like this :)

  • I really loved this trailers, the first ones of RE 4

    The final version didnt had anything to do with RE, it only got the title and Leon and Ada, the story was totally unrelated, the game was repetitive, the characters where pretty cartoony, the customization on the weapons was broken....

    I loved the bosses in this game but outside that i didnt find anyhting else to like. As an action game, is nice, as an horror game, is pretty bad...as a RE game is extremelly disapointing

  • this is a better Resident Evil game than the final one...I can tell from the gameplay, though they just need to change those ghost things and dolls into some virus mutated creatures(like the classic zombies) then it is a true Resident evil, though I had fun with the final version of RE4, this looked like I would have LOVED it! plus it tells about the Progenitor, some virus we never faced b4

  • It pains me so much that they candled this version. It's a true Resident Evil game.

  • I say they should just sell what they had of this version to someone else. Then those guys could replace all the resident evil content with different stuff, slap on a new title and sell it as a different game (even though it's secretly a discontinued RE game.)

  • Frankly ? I would have loved Capcom to bring out THIS (far superior version) and the final RE4 game...

  • some people says that this was canceled it looks like more a silent hill because the were more like spirits but they just can transform the spirits into zombies

  • They say that this game was cancelled cuz when leon gets infected by the progenitor virus and he dies at the end of the game... I mean they just can´t give him an anti-virus at the end or some shit like that (Or make Leon to have SUPERPOWERS!!! yeah!!!) Why they needed to change the WHOLE GAME??? I shit on those motherfuckers.... >.<

  • After The Destruction of Raccoon City And Umbrella Was Finished, Capcom Should Have Taken A New Directon... And Not The One They Took. Resident Evil Was Zombies A Monsters, Now All It Is, Is Evil Religous Cult, Basically To Me It's Kill Inocent People Whom Are Being Controlled. I Hope Capcom Regrets There Choice.

  • @RedRanger159 Except... they aren't innocent anymore. There is no hope for them once the thing they're being controlled by (las plagas) has matured, because it can't be removed. So they're just as innocent as zombies.

    It's originally called biohazard for a reason.

  • @steightst8 You're totally right about the title thing. There's nothing wrong with the final version of RE4, I felt it still had some survival horror to it, cause the fact it wasn't zombies just made it even scarier cause you don't know what the hell you're going up against this time. The regenerators. I hate them so much I waste magnum ammo just to kill them as fast as I possibly can. 'Nuff said. :A

  • " ....This version's premise featured Leon infiltrating Umbrella's headquarters in Europe, getting infected by the Progenitor virus and fighting fog-like creatures. One of the most notable areas shown in this version was a flying airship; however, Capcom scrapped the second beta of Resident Evil 4 quietly and created a new version without any outside announcement."

    - RE Wiki

  • fuck you capcom,whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyy?this game looks a thousand times better than the releasead one

  • "The origin of the Progenitor Virus"? It sounds like this story is what would become the story of 5. I wonder if this was really canned because they were doing research.

  • virus? what virus? all I see is ghosts and supernatural creatures

  • @Madin312

    does it have to be a ghost just because it is a fog like creature, it could be the virus that has become airborn

  • hmmm, tal vez....well, im thinkin capcom should release this version (ya know, as some type of spin-off) im sure it would be a success

    ^_^

    uy, ojala k capcom takes a giant risk an makes a resident evil outbreak file 3 for maybe PC or somethin, so alot more pplz can play online!

    =)

  • @TitoFrito09 Agreed. A non-canon spin-off would be nice.

  • @Hangmen13

    no doubt about that! BUT....will capcom ever do it??

    XP

  • @Hangmen13 Goku is non-canon.

  • re4 has 4 beta versions...

  • I am living a horrible nightmare for 6 years. For sure, THIS video shows the REAL Biohazard 4 that's about to be released. My horrible nightmare, with that "RE4 american hero saving the cute girl" can't be real !!!

    RE4 WITH THAT SHADOW STUFF AND ZOMBIES, THIS IS THE REAL RESIDENT EVIL !!!

  • @WalkOnStyx Where do you see zombies in any of the videos on the beta version? This version of the game looks like a piece of crap in my opinion.  People need to stop whining about RE4 and RE5, saying "Zomg, it sucks so badddd!!!11! Where are mai zawmbiez?!" It's called biohazard, not zombie slayer, for a reason. Even if they're moving away from survival horror, it doesn't mean you still can't give a game a chance, instead of blindly hatting it because it's not exactly what you want it to be.

  • @steightst8 fact is, resident evil always been more horror/survival related than actions.

  • @trackmort007 And why can't people just accept that genres can change? Well at least the whiners are getting what they want with the newer ones. (Revelations seem more Survival Horror-y). Most of the people just can't seem to accept change can happen, and they just end up blindly hating the games without giving it a true, fair chance.

  • @steightst8 it's good to see that there's people that think like me, those Beta versions looks more like a Silent Hill wannabe than Resident Evil, I really liked RE4, the controls got improved, the enemies more deadly and smart and you still have some of the atmosphere of the classics, specially at the island part. And RE5, it's notable that it lost most of the horror aspect and got action instead of it, but it doesn't mean it sucks, it's a real good game but loses to RE4 in matter of atmosphere

  • @erickvso Awesome to see someone else who feels the same way :D I completely agree with you :D

  • @steightst8 thanks dude

    ^-^

  • @steightst8 RE4 and RE5 suck, though.

  • @SecuR0M And that's your opinion.

  • @steightst8 indeed RE5 was decent enough, RE4 was brilliant

  • They abandoned this to release out what we know as RE4????And then,RE5?????

    I need to cry a little,please don't stare at me!

    LOL @ Capcom! Thank God,the 3DS will fix this! Cheers to RE:Revelations success!

  • When are they going to release this darn thing I been waiting for maybe Idk? 4 to 5 years from now this is nuts!! I had RE4 To RE5 I know that has nothing to do with Leon by still if reach RE5 it can reach to this one to bring this darn thing OUTT!! :P

  • Alright I have to say this...I love the RE4 that was released but come on Capcom! I would so play this game! release it to the people! it looks awesome and I would love something like this! It looks scary so it could be great! well as long as nothing too bad happens to Leon...lets face it I am a huge Leon fan!

  • I like this BETA version of Resident evil 4. Though, since the ending of this beta is of Leon dying, then that would be something to change. RE4 itself is okay. it's surely better than RE5. I may have not beaten RE4 yet but I know this for a fact xD

  • this would of been better then the RE4 today.

  • Dear capcom please release this to the people

  • I feel  that if Resident evil 4 WASN"T an RE game, but a completely different game with the SAME gameplay and a similar story, it wouldn't of been as popular and Survival Horror would still be alive in its natural form.

  • @noideac yeah I said that before, don't get me wrong I think 4 was very enjoyable in it's own right BUT is was Resident Evil in name only and would still have sold well if it had been given a different title.

  • Oh for the love of pete, Resident Evil 4 was still a great game in its final form. Y'all quit pretending it "sucked", b/c even if it wasn't the game you may have wanted, it was still a very competent action game.

  • @DavidTRichard absolutely true! the final RE4 was still fun..aside from Ashley...BUT I don't like RE5...I think they just killed the RE series there..sure RE4 is still scary and eerie(until u reach the island where everything goes Rambo) but RE5..shit, it's just like an infected riot in Africa! and u play as a Riot Enforcer

  • @attackman456 hehe agree completely Ashley was the most annoying, unlikable character in the whole series for me. I kept trying to leave her with the Spiv because I wanted to shoot her. Also I feel the Spiv was completely wrong for a RE game and added (unintentionally?) to making it more of a camp comedy than scary.

  • Ok... I guess everyone can agree this is better than the original but this game kinda defeats the objective of resident evil as it is more like a silent hill game resulting in the remaking of the game. But my point is that this game may have been awesomer and scarier but thats not the aim of resident evil. The aim is to give the player the experience of surviving a zombie invasion and maybe giving the player a scare. So think how if this game was released you'd want the other version

  • where can i get this game?

  • @jake51515 you cant it wasnt the released as it was "too off topic" or "too sci fi" leading to the crappy version (but still decent enough to play one run through then see this and say WDF DID I JUST PLAY?!)

  • HOLY SHIT UROBUROS

  • looks like smoke monster from lost

  • Yes Leon is so awesome that he can kill fog!

  • game-a-cube!

  • @TyZCN90

    This is one of the fail attempts to make RE4.

    Acording to what it says on REwiki the plot for this is Leon infiltrating in Umbrella's headquarters in Europe and getting infected with Progenitor. Enemies looks like RE5 Uroboros if you notice

  • Why do Capcom always make an awesome game and then eventually bring out a worse version of it? They did it with this, with RE2, with RE1 even...

  • @DGneoseeker1 because maybe the game would have been bad for the audience. What you see in a trailer can be easily manipulated to look good or interesting

  • @dessan18 True, perhaps... But that's no reason to not tell the fans of the series what the game was really going to be about. I for one would like to know what the storyline was to be.

  • @DGneoseeker1 I think there was a small article on the wikipedia page of Resident Evil 4 detailing the different versions of it. If I remember right, Leon would get injected or infected or infested with some sort of virus and as a result: experience the trippy stuff you see here...OR it's something totally different:)

  • @dessan18 Yeah, but why is there only a small article, damnit?

  • @dessan18 close he was supposed to get his arm infected with the "Progenator" virus (the virus from RE0 and 1) and it was too "off topic" to them so they stopped it and made it the game we know today... i would have prefered one of these 2 (hookman or this) rather then the BS version we were left with...

  • @921sora yeah I'm not gonna lie, these scrapped versions look really interesting, but I'm fine with RE4 as it is. I recently replayed it on the ps2 and it was really good fun still after all these years spent in HD gaming...but yeah I would still try out the thing in the video. Maybe Capcom still has it on some kind of DVD in their offices, just like Ubisoft probably keeps their Prince of Persia Kindred Blades version somewhere around:)

  • @dessan18 only thing i like is the gameplay tbh the story was alright as far as Ada, Leon, and Krauser went but adding Ashley at the random momment just... OMG it pissed me off so much -_-

  • Leon vs. The Monster from Lost: The Game

  • what a waste not to release this..

  • this beta was better

  • 200X? what is this a fuckin megaman game

  • @daveKoRnfan its not letting u kno when itll come out dude, even though we kno this was a waste of time since it has nothing to do with fog but rather saving the pres's daughter...

  • Geez... it seemed so like Fatal Frame and Silent Hill rather than Resident Evil itself..

  • 0:39 omg is leon holding a freakin' desert eagle???

  • this would of been a awsome resident evil game because it would be a horror game now they make re games that are not sary it sux thumbs up if you agree

  • @Tennebrum i think this would make a great clock tower game..

  • Holly shit Evil smoke Leon is dead

  • Here's an interesting fact for the comments:

    The voice actor for Leon, Paul Mercier; said in the Beta, Capcom planned to kill off Mr.Kennedy by the virus's power but they chose to use him later on.

    However in my opion, the producers should have at least kept the game's, atmosphere. Yeah it does have a Silent Hill feel but at least release a Beta demo in a gaming magazine so you can make better judgement calls based off where the project is heading.

  • Comment removed

  • this is what an re game would look like if silent hill and resident evil developers made a game together except leon would be asking "have u seen an asian women around here with black hair names ada"

  • @chris667100 lmao very true

  • @chris667100

    Also 99% of the doors would be locked of course!

  • Comment removed

  • i think 3.5 had a better game engine than 4: 3.5 had suspense and horror, but with the new aiming mechanics and quick time events.

  • That's Uroboros. leon was not good enough 4 uroboros

  • I remember I first saw this back in 2003. Little did I know, 2 years later, I'd be in fucking Spain rescuing the president's fucking daughter. I DON'T REMEMBER SIGNING UP FOR THIS SHIT.
