Some of the biggest games in history have undergone rather dramatic transformations to the point that they would have been unrecognizable to fans had the devs stuck to their original visions. Here are the 13 most notable examples of games that started out completely differ

At its core, Grand Theft Auto is a game about being a criminal and committing heinous acts. But it wasn't always that way. Back when Grand Theft Auto was called Race 'n' Chase , players were actually allowed to choose whether they wanted to play as the police or the criminal. Furthermore, the game wasn't about completing missions or free-roaming, but rather, it was a multiplayer racing g

Before Doom was about slaughtering demons from Hell, it was actually a licensed game based on the Aliens franchise. id Software was in talks with 20th Century Fox to produce the title, but negotiations fell through as the development team wanted more creative free

A lot can happen during game development. Certain gameplay features may turn out duller than expected. Story beats may not work as the developers envisioned. New ideas may come about that force devs to completely rethink their games. Whatever the reason for the changes, there are many occasions where games start out as one thing, and by the end of the development are something completely differ

A new experience for the series, _ Resident Evil Resistance _ is the online mode that comes featured with _ Resident Evil 3 . _ It will be available to play on the same day as the single-player campaign. _ Resistance _ is a one versus four asymmetrical online multiplayer mode that pits one overpowered player, known as the Mastermind, against four players, known as the survivors, in distr

Rare's original vision for GoldenEye 007 was that of a 2D side-scroller for the SNES that would play similarly to Donkey Kong Country . Plans changed when Rare was told of the Nintendo 64 (then known as Ultra 64), and the company decided to make an on-rails shooter similar to Virtua Cop . Luckily, Rare decided to ditch the on-rails aspect of the game and allow players to explore levels freely, resulting in the game many FPS gamers fell in love with back in 1

Ultimately, plans for the space station setting were scrapped, and the game underwent a major overhaul. The second version of BioShock was also quite different from the finished product in terms of story and setting, as it was set on a tropical island where a secret Nazi laboratory had been discovered that time around. Eventually, the development team at Irrational Games moved away from these ideas as well, settling on the concept that would become BioSho

Several days ago, Capcom released the highly-anticipated remake of Resident Evil 3 , which takes players back to Raccoon City. Although Capcom previously revealed that both games had an overlap period during development, the massive success of Resident Evil 2 set a high-expectation for the re-imagining of the third adventure Game Story guide, giving Capcom the insurmountable task of developing a sequel that will surpass its predecessor. A fair warning to readers that this article will have MAJOR SPOILE

Furthermore, when Jill jumps outside of her apartment in the trailer, one can quickly observe the Liquor Store in the background. In the original Resident Evil games, the liquor store was never in Resident Evil 3 , but only in the second game and in Operation Raccoon City . This could also entail a more expansive map of Raccoon City to explore in its entirety, or close to. Then again, it could be a different liquor store entirely, despite the store's title having similarly red lights for its letter

This is probably the best armor in Monster Hunter: World and definitely the prettiest. Amazing stats and boosts mixed in with a beautiful design make the Drachen Alpha Armor a perfect attire wished for by every player who comes across the lands of the New Wor

This new game will feature the same style of over-the-shoulder camera that was featured in the Resident Evil 2 remake (and was made famous for the series in _ Resident Evil 4 _ ). Zombies ostensibly have the same style of AI mechanics that was found in the previous game, as they lunge at the player creating an engage-or-dodge situation. There is a brief shot where Jill Valentine shoves an attacking zombie off of her, a staple mechanic of the series, and shooting is also largely the same with the exception of the subtle differences that can be found between the styles of Jill, Leon Kennedy, or Claire Redfi

Any fan of the Super Mario Bros. series knows that the titular siblings have more than a passing interest in extensive wardrobes. When it comes to special suits, power-ups, or unique abilities, they are the undisputed experts. But rarely can the term 'armor' be applied to Mario or Luigi's bonus clothing - except in the case of the Hammer S

A good example of this is the way Brad Vickers died in Resident Evil 3 remake. In the original game, Brad died in front of Jill Valentine, after he was captured and killed by Nemesis. This scene soon became one of the most iconic and memorable deaths in the Resident Evil franchise, and surprisingly enough, Capcom decided not to include this in the remake. Instead, the 2020 reimagining finally gave Brad his redemption arc , allowing him to sacrifice his life to save Jill. Sure it's disappointing that Brad was killed by zombies instead of Nemesis, but the change made for a better story, making Brad's death more meaningful as compared to the original g
