Holy cow, looks like an RPG Maker game lmaoI feel like many indie games go through the terrible-concept-art-to-beatiful-final-product transition, but Stardew Valley's transformation is especially impressive to me.

Wow, I remember seeing these "blue-ish" environment screenshots in magazine previews before.
Meh, it looked okish, what we got instead was one of the best action games ever made so i'd say that was a good trade.
A lot of games during those few years did the same thing. Ultimately the combat system in Lightning Returns became the closest to the way this trailer looked albeit without the random cart wheels and dramatic moving and camera work.

From 2012:
The crazy thing is that the developer learnt sprite artwork from scratch, got better after a year or two, and went back to redo everything because he improved so much and couldn't stand his previous work.
Based on how the remake seems to be working proto-RE4 content in I'd say there's a good chance of the Hookman making it in as part of a hallucination system stemming from Leon's infection.
At least that's what I hope for.
Honestly you reminded me of some more Metriod development that changed from the final development.
The first one was Metroid Fusion which looked like a gameboy color game. I am thankful they change it in the final release
The other one was Metroid Prime that doesn't look too different from the final version but it did have some differences.
I still wonder where the hell they were going to go with the original Revelations story. Like was this Chris an imposter? Or an illusion? Maybe Jill was looking to recover a BOW virus and thought he had gone rogue and taken it?
And Hunk was on the ship, I'm assuming trying to get ahold of a virus. Then you have classic T-Virus zombies. This version of the game looked more interesting for sure.
Agreed. However, I'm not sure if they had the entire thing finished because the dialogue at the end is incredibly vague. What is it they're talking about? I don't know.
Extremely funny that after Ico, the Dev team went "alright, let's make an mmo"
Thankfully they realized it was a bit beyond their scope
Wow, this is new to me. This version of Dante is definitely more somber and angry than we've seen him (outside a particularly charged scene). But I guess it makes sense as a bridge between carefree young Dante and detached older Dante before 5 retconned that timeline
