If that wasn't enough, he also comes across the ghosts of his past and ties to Umbrella thanks to the appearance of a certain Mr Wesker.Īlthough Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 grew bigger and flashier, Resident Evil 4 captured the spirit of the original game and the confines of the Spencer Mansion - albeit in a Spanish castle. Ashley Graham has been kidnapped by a terrifying cult, while Leon also has to face-off against parasite-controlled villagers, his own infection with Las Plagas, and escape a booby-trapped castle. In the final version, Leon heads into darkest Spain in an attempt to rescue the President's daughter. When Mikami went back to the drawing board, Resident Evil 4 was eventually born. There was the "Hallucination" version that saw Leon and his partner climb levels of the castle however, it was deemed too expensive and was also scrapped. A second "Fog" version took Leon to the castle-like headquarters of Umbrella, while the famous "Hook Man" iteration (seen above) was dubbed Resident Evil 4's lost version. Ironically, this early project was eventually reworked into Devil May Cry. The first idea focussed on an invincible protagonist called Tony, however, producer Shinji Mikami thought it strayed too far from what made Resident Evil what it was. Capcom threw the rulebook out the window (several times) and actually went through four iterations of Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil Zero was also a big hitter on the GameCube, but there were accusations things were growing stale. By the time Capcom came to plan Resident Evil 4, the franchise had already found great success and was sitting pretty on the legacy of Resident Evil 3 and the wildly successful REmake.
