I remember there being three trailers. The first seemed to be pre-rendered with some impressive lighting that implied Leon was infected with something. A theme of course that WOULD be carried over into the final product albeit in a much different way than one got the impression from in this vid.

Myself and the rest of the internet were pretty giddy over this trailer if I recall correctly. There's an extended version of this trailer somewhere out there I think but I'm too lazy to find it.
Then we had this.

In this trailer the RE series looked like it would be taken more in the direction a psychological horror type gake. Kind of like Eternal Darkness or Silent Hill. I wasn't quite sure what to make of this but I still thought it looked pretty awesome.
And then of course we got the final product. It seems weird to me that Capcom would showcase what seemed like three COMPLETELY versions of the same game instead of waiting until they'd rested on an idea they were going to run with. It makes me curious as to what might have happened to the concepts from the first two trailers. Would they later be used for other non RE related games? Hell... wasn't Devil May Cry originally intended as a Resident Evil sequel?
What we ended up with was one of if not the best console game of last generation don't get me wrong. I can't help but be a little curious to know what the game would have been like had they followed through on either of those first two trailers.
