re4 re-visited

Does anyone happen to know why that one male villager 'There he is!' voice clip from the re4 demo disc didn't make it into the final version? I always thought it sounded pretty damned cool, was it too explicit/racially degrading in its native language or somethin'?

Probably for authenticity reasons.

I always thought it sounded pretty damned cool, was it too explicit/racially degrading in its native language or somethin'?My main guess was that they wanted to make the village seem like it was culturally isolated, almost xenophobic, so that is probably why the villagers didn't speak a word of english in the final release, and why the player bore witness to such primitive, almost brutal farming practices (notice a complete lack of any modern or semi-modern farming equipment in the villiage itself).

I should've pointed out that I was just using 'There he is!' as a reference point, I'm not sure what he's saying but it ends with 'menzia' (best guess). Go back and play the demo again, you'll (hear) what I'm talking about.
