By now, most fans out there know about 'Beta' versions of the Resident Evil games. Unlike others, the very first Resident Evil for Sony Playstation didn't have an entirely new story or appearance. Capcom simply improved the game from the beginning to what we see now in the final version. You notice things like enemies in different areas, Kenneth's body on the other side of the Mansion, Item Menu changes and of course the graphical and sound differences.

There where different puzzles, enemies that didn't make it to the final version, characters that didn't make it to the final version and most interesting... the game original planned to be played in First-Person view. Shinji Mikami (creator) then decided to go with the 3D enviornment.

Another very interesting detail Capcom decided to change was the 2 player mode controlled by the CCU. As seen below, the user takes control of Chris as Jill proceeds to go through the hall controlled by the CCU! We do not know whether or not another player could control Player 2. You can also notice Jill's original 'look' in these images below.

To make the game alittle more Zombie like, the color Green was orignially what you saw when blood came out.

Again, we see Capcom changed games from prototype to beta version's to what we see play today. Its always cool to see what their ideas where before the final version came out. Here you will be able to see what ideas Capcom had with the development of Resident Evil before the release of the game in March '96.
