I suspect a big reason for the radical change in direction was that the 1.5 version was actually trying to be a somewhat spooky horror game and someone decided they really wanted a showy action game to hook a wider audience instead. "N..no it was actually shit and everyone working on it hated it!" always came off as a gigantic cope and devs lie through their teeth in interviews all the time anyway.

The 1.5 concept art is cool and would have worked great if they could keep that same atmosphere. Devs lie through their teeth all the time and I think at least part of the reasoning behind scrapping it is that it was more of a pure horror setting. Capcom wanted a big budget action blockbuster that would appeal to the widest audience possible, which doesn't really align with a dreary, depressing game.

Here's the magazine scans. Most are Japanese but they're still pretty interesting.
