Hook Man to Return in RE5?
Check out what I found at:
Is this for real? BTW this isnt the whole article just the important part of it.
Resident Evil 4, GameCube & PlayStation 2
The game Devil May Cry was originally intended to be a Resident Evil sequel, but the game underwent several radical changes and was considered too much of a departure from the series. The original concept for the game starred a European police officer named Dante (who shared the same name with the main character from the finished game) who is sent to investigate a castle that has been infested with bio-weapons. Many of the creatures in finished Devil May Cry were original planned to be monsters created from a new kind of virus.
Afterwards, Resident Evil 4 got its official start as a GameCube game. The GameCube version of Resident Evil 4 went through three different incarnations during development, each with a different premise, before Mikami decided to take directorial charge of the project and go on to deliver the released Resident Evil 4.
The first prototype of the game, known to the developers as the "Fog Version", featured Leon fighting what appeared to be a fog-like entity. This was to be the result of his infection with the Progenitor virus covered in the Resident Evil remake and in Resident Evil 0.
The second prototype, the "Hook Man version", featured Leon's fighting paranormal enemies, including dolls that had come to life, suits of armor (which actually make an appearance in the final version), and the aformentioned "hook man" (a dark, blood-covered/severely wounded silhouette/humanoid (depending on which footage you see) that drags a chain and hook with him). Gameplay footage of this prototype was featured in the Biohazard 4 Secret DVD and can be found by scrounging around on the internet. However, all is not lost for the two omitted characters. Both the "Hook Man" and "Fog" will make an appearance in Resident Evil 5.
