** Given there is a soldier type called Jack Krauser, it can't be a coincidence.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Before the developers settled on what would become ''RE4'', they went through several prototype versions of the game, which are collectively known as ''Resident Evil 3.5''.
** Development on the first iteration of the game overlapped with that of ''[[Resident Evil 3 Nemesis]]'' (back when that game was still considered to be ''"Resident Evil 2.1"''), predating Mikami's decision to switch to the [[Nintendo Gamecube]]. According to an interview with 1up.com, Hideki Kamiya claims that, initially, this was to be the third ''RE'' game instead of the one that came out. It featured a private investigator named Dante as the protagonist, and its development included several trips to Spain to study castles as inspiration for the environments. This game was deemed to be too great a departure from the [[Survival Horror]] genre, and would be [[Retool|retooled]] into ''[[Devil May Cry]]''.
** Following this was the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LG_AAkg-lJc "Fog Version,"] whose premise involved Leon infiltrating Umbrella's European headquarters, getting infected with the Progenitor Virus and fighting fog-like creatures that may or may not have been [[Through the Eyes of Madness|the creations of his collapsing, virus-corrupted sanity]]. One of the levels was to take place on [[Cool Airship|an airship]], and the game would've ended with Leon getting [[Killed Off for Real]] by the virus, a move that was unpopular with the developers and one of the reasons why it was scrapped.
** After that version was scrapped, Capcom made the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_326592&src_vid=kWpEE_5pDzQ&feature=iv&v=k8nKcMwmt3I "Hooked Man Version,"] which was set in a seemingly haunted mansion and had Leon fighting what appeared to be paranormal enemies, such as medieval suits of armor (which would make it into the final game), living dolls, and the titular, ghost-like "Hooked Man," a possessed-looking chap who wielded a giant hook on a chain. The [[Press X to Not Die|quick-time events]] and over-the-shoulder camera angles used in ''RE'' games from ''4'' onward first appeared here -- it alternated between the "classic" fixed cameras when exploring and the OTS camera when aiming. The game was reportedly so scary that, when the trailer debuted at E3, Shinji Mikami told the audience, "Don't pee your pants." However, the game would be scrapped for being too paranormal.
