i think the reasons re earlier version have better graphic than the final version are:
1- the early game looks like slowst than the final ( the final version was optimised for more actions).
2- if this version looks better graphically, may be it was just an old resident evil like; i mean there no scenes showing the apperance of more than 3 zombies ( and surly these zombies move slowly not like the final version).
3- the camera is not always behind leon, it looks like the camera mode on code veronica.
so my conclusion is the earlier version was optimised for graphiques , and the final version for more action.
