The Quadruple Death and Rebirth of Resident Evil 4 - IGN
Resident Evil 4 underwent a famously troubled development cycle, with at least four distinct versions being scrapped before its 2005 release. Early concepts by Hideki Kamiya evolved into Devil May Cry, while later iterations explored psychological horror and traditional zombies before Shinji Mikami's final vision took hold. These abandoned projects significantly influenced the final game and the broader survival horror genre.
