The scarier Resident Evil 4 version

This is a video depicting levels in Resident Evil 4 that featured a creepier and darker atmosphere not available in the final version. This version of the game is called the "Hooked Man Version." The Hooked Man is the most notable enemy in this version of the game, and he was intended to be a recurring enemy much like Nemesis. This version of RE4 was reportedly so scary that Shinji Mikami himself warned gamers with a famous quote "Don't pee your pants." The version was ditched because it was too paranormal for the Resident Evil plot.

How was this video scary? Ok, maybe since they were going to use the original camera angles and that leon had to shoot the ghost/zombie hybrid 20 times and was brought down to critical health was scary. The screen turned blue when monsters(toy babies) were in it so I guess Leon had Spidey sense. The page where this vid came from someone complains that this game looked far better than the version of RE4 that we got...Of course it's easier to make good graphics when the only thing you interact with are paintings and doors. The thought of being confined to a small room and a hallway that you can't even see anything but the corner is scary. Those little knife babies from the ps3 commercial were stupid. If this was the version we got I would have pulled a Leon and just dropped grenades at my feet, except in real life so i'd die before ever playing this piece.

Azurite6694d ago

I agree with you, and I'll go even further and doubt that this piece of crap is true. I want proof, why would they do paranormal stuff when the developers know it's all about science in Resident Evil, just a big waste of time and money. Let us see this interview that was mentioned from a reliable source.

Ex-Naughty Dog Dev Says Resident Evil 4 Inspired Uncharted and Many More Action Games

Former Naughty Dog dev says Resident Evil 4 inspired Unchartted and even Gears of War, particularly the over-the-shoulder camera view.

CrimsonWing6925d ago

It revolutionized third-person shooters, in a genius way that gives you full control of aiming.

CrimsonWing6924d ago

No, I mean RE4. Like the whole snap to over-shoulder and precision aiming was what I meant.

I won’t deny Winback does pave the way in some respect. But it’s not the same at all.

InUrFoxHole25d ago

Both are great series. That's awesome

Samonuske25d ago

I thought this was common knowledge. Resident Evil Revolutionised over the shoulder aiming in 3rd person shooters/action games

italiangamer25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Influenced basically every third person action game made after it, GTA uses the over the shoulder perspective when shooting since the 4th installment, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 too and the Batman Arkham series has the over the shoulder perspective as the main camera throughout the whole game series.
Obviously there are a ton more examples but you get the point 🗿.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9234d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil33d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.
