remember this

[@347919,coolboy86] the game design was for Resident Evil two,but they decided to make it its own game, if you have played this game you can see the similarities with RE

were they making devil may cry at the same time as re2 re2 came out in 1998 so develpment on dmc must go way back

[@347919,coolboy86] my bad,it was RE4,
The game was originally conceived in 1999 as Resident Evil 4. Due to the staff feeling it would not fit the Resident Evil franchise, the project dropped its ties to Resident Evil and was made into its own story instead.
