Yeah, they were gonna do ghosts, but they felt like it was too much of a departure from the series, and it was too scary (At least that's what Wiki says).

Other prototypes include what became the original Devil May Cry, and the last prototype before the ganados was Zombies over again, but it felt too "the same".

I'm not too sure the game would have looked that good though. I mean, PS360 games don't even look like that 100 percent of the time. But that does look awesome.

Departure from the series? You gotta be kidding me, they just made a damn action game.

I would be happy with ghosts, hell, they could have put soldiers and tanks and dragons and swords and fast cars if they made a survival horror again.

 

Sorry, my hate of RE4 taking over.

Departure as in Resident Evil was basically turning into Silent hill at that point.  The flashlight, and the mood are definitely Silent Hill-esque.

I know that RE4 was a major departure, but it still fit, somewhat.
