13 Games That Started Out Completely Different

Without a shadow of a doubt, Capcom is a part of video game royalty. The company has been home to a number of the greatest gaming franchises of all time, bringing revolutionary titles to a wide variety of genres, from fighting games all the way through to survival horror. The publisher has solidified its place in the market through decades’ worth of quality, earning itself a place in the history of gam


The underwater city of Rapture is such an iconic setting that it's hard to imagine BioShock being set anywhere else. However, original plans for the game had it set on a space station infested with mutated monsters, with players sent to rescue someone from a c


Often in the conversation for the best armor sets in the franchise, this armor combines an attractive design with an important effect in the gameplay. However, it does require a very specific style of play since one becomes incredibly slow while wearing it, which doesn't work very well with those who prefer evading over parrying. Still, it was a nightmare to face in


At its core, Grand Theft Auto is a game about being a criminal and committing heinous acts. But it wasn't always that way. Back when Grand Theft Auto was called Race 'n' Chase , players were actually allowed to choose whether they wanted to play as the police or the criminal. Furthermore, the game wasn't about completing missions or free-roaming, but rather, it was a multiplayer racing g


The Assassin's Creed franchise is not what it was when it started, but it still managed to deliver its coolest-looking armor set with the DLC The Fate of Atlantis: Fields of Elysium for Odyssey . Bringing a sci-fi style to Ancient Greece was a massive success. This armor inspired and forged by the Isu completed one of the best if not the best DLC of the Assassin's Creed s


Initially, Destiny was going to play similarly to Blizzard's cancelled Titan MMO, which was reportedly a class-based shooter that allowed players to engage in firefights or hold non-violent professions in-g


First appearing in Super Mario Bros. 3 , the suit turns either Mario or Luigi into their Hammer variants, modeled after the Koopa enemies known as Hammer Bros. With a fireproof shell, an indestructible helmet, and a set of hammers to hurl at enemies, the Hammer Suit shows Mario in a whole new light. With extra style points awarded for the black color scheme, fans can't help but love one of the few mental images of Mario heading into battle sporting actual armor instead of overa


Finally, the concept art (above bottom) also shows some sort Alignment of Circles puzzle mutated humanoid in a wheel chair wearing a lab coat. In the picture, the humanoid is wearing a lab coat, suggesting he was probably an Umbrella employee that had undergone experiments on himself, possibly. it also shows him pressing buttons on the remote control for his electric wheel chair, suggesting that he has retained some of his former intellige


It is true that the TX-28 MicroFusion pack used to power the armor's hydraulics isn't exactly the safest option, but then, this is a series whose premise is based on the irresponsible use of nuclear technology. Unlike most entries on this list, both the T-51b and its predecessor , the T-45d power armor are seen multiple times, worn in number by members of the Brotherhood of Steel and the Enclave. Normally that might harm the armor's novelty factor, but even with the extra training required to operate it, nothing beats the stares when entering a r


The Drain Deimos is yet another terrifying creature which is now confirmed to appear in the remake. Although the new version seems more quadrupedal, it is very likely that it is capable of standing upright. Overall the beast looks more monstrous, and if it's able to do what the original Drain Deimos was, then players have good reason to fear it. The bug-like aspects of this monster have also been amped up in the remake's rendition of the Drain Deimos, invoking images of a giant preying mantis or something of the s


Personality-wise, Capcom did introduce some slight changes to Jill Valentine in the upcoming remake. In previous trailers, gameplay previews, and the RE 3 playable demo , it is evident that Capcom has increased Jill's badass traits as compared to previous Resident Evil games. In the opening sequence of the demo alone, we saw Jill make sarcastic comments during a conversation with Carlos Oliveria and Mikhail Viktor. Of course, looking at it closely, the spirit of the scene remains consistent with that of the original. The U.B.C.S. asked to partner with Jill, she was reluctant at first, but she agreed anyway knowing that it would increase the chances of her survi


Given this, the personalities of both playable characters weren't as fleshed-out, especially when compared to modern games. However, based on dialogue alone, Jill did not really embody the traits of a traditional video game heroine, and while she is capable enough to handle the situation she's in, she lacked the flair and personality that is common in today's video game protagonist. But in retrospect, even if it wasn't intentional, Capcom's portrayal of Jill in the first Resident Evil game does make sense, given that this game served as her origin story. Prior to the mansion incident, Jill has no experience in dealing with bioweapons, so it wouldn't really make sense to portray her as a badass bioweapon killing machine when this is the first time that she even knew bioweapons exis
