25 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn't Know About Resident Evil

4. The Japanese Intro Was In Colour, Yet A LOT Darker

Another issue with censorship now, but this time it's anywhere that isn't Japan losing this one.

Players will remember the black and white intro from the first game (complete with cringe-worthy "No! Don't go!" line). But did you know the Japanese intro was a lot more brutal?

For one, it was in colour. Secondly, there was a lot more gore in it, with Joseph's mauling being shown.

And it also, to really push the shock factor out, showed Chris smoking in his bio video. Absolutely shocking, think of the children, etc.

But if you've ever been deprived of the proper video, watch it above in all its gory glory.
