** Three bosses were scrapped in development, including a Tyrant of some description which would've served as a late-stage boss and killed Excella Gionne as an EstablishingCharacterMoment. The other two would have been a train-car-eating mass of Uroboros tentacles resembling a huge, multi-limbed slug (possibly an early version of Irving) and an 80+ foot tall Uroboros creature that would've been faced in a multi-stage bossfight, listed in their concept art as "U-11" and "U-9" respectively.

** Creator/DCDouglas released a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p52-QBTXZyM "blooper reel"]] (actually a parody) of various alternate versions of Albert Wesker's big LargeHam villain speech during the game's climax, which included him bragging about the size of his balls, [[Film/ANewHope reaching the Death Star]], taking a crack at UsefulNotes/GeorgeWBush, and making multiple {{Freudian slip}}s when he has to deliver the "complete global saturation" line, the last of which causes him to blow up and scream [[Creator/BillOReilly "oh, fuck it, we'll do it live!"]]
** Douglas also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjoVHG-H3TQ recorded]] a [[TheTwelveSpoofsOfChristmas Twelve Spoofs of Christmas]] video in character as Wesker [[spoiler:during his final death scene]].

** The game was originally designed as a single-player game akin to ''4'', with Chris as the only playable character. Sheva was originally intended to be a recurring character, being the head of a local militia fighting against the outbreak. When the decision was made to make the game support two-player cooperative, Sheva was rewritten as a BSAA operative and Chris's partner.

** An [[https://www.ign.com/articles/2007/07/18/new-resident-evil-5-details early Famitsu interview]] with producer Jun Takeuchi stated that the use of light would be very important in the game. The example given is that if the player character were to move from a bright area to a dark area very quickly, it would take them a few moments to adapt before they could see again, an effect that would also be replicated for the player. The opposite effect of moving into a bright area from a dark one would work similarly. These moments of inability to aim or see would be used to create moments of fear in the game. But in the finished product, these light mechanics seem to have been entirely scrapped.
