Parts of Resident Evil 5's Beta were later used in Resident Evil 6. Mainly, the underground ruins, with parts being under water, Gigante-like giants assaulting a town while you had to protect another character trying to help, and a boss battle fought on a train where you had to run from car to car while fighting it. The monster itself (Irving) was also very similar to Birkin's final form.
