I don't doubt that they were making it for the xbox. But i still firmliy believe that was a PC built that was never optimized for the xbox.

 

Like that Resident Evil 3.5 beta that was scrapped...that looked much much better than the final product (RE4) but that was enver made to run on the gamecube.

 

Wasn't that explained by having extemely cramped game areas in the demo (one or two small rooms) as compared to the village squares and yawning chasms of RE4?

I don't know if I believe this... this looks like an early build of the game but its definetly pushing xbox 1's limit passed its best looking games.

Look at the enemies, xbox games never had that many polygons with such animations.

I think this was an early pc build...

The developer giving the walk through of the footage specifically says it's the X-box build of the game.

don't forget the video was most likely upscaled for presentation so after the filtering process, it'd look different as well.

Was it? I will have to research that?

Seems crazy that capcom would make the beta like that knowing that at some point Leon would have to go out of the room and on to a screen with more than 2 enemies...

Like you said, the beta was scrapped and the game concept completely retooled. The original idea might have been to have very few, but scarier and more challenging enemies, along with a much smaller game area.

I really don't know, but it makes sense that if the scope of your game is narrower, you can allocate more resources to fewer objects and make them look better. They likely just decided that a scope grander than REmake was worth the sacrifice in eye candy.

The first thing I thought when I saw this video was, "let's see what the Wii version looks like already!"

I don't have my hopes up or anything, but it would be great to twist the remote to change between vertical and horizontal shots.

Crap. I totally have my hopes up.
