The development hell of RE 3.5 is so interesting to read about. All those different ideas coming and going along with the videos. The whole project was such a hotspot of ideas in fact, that it spawned 3 games and a franchise (RE4, DMC and Demento/Haunting Ground).

You're right though. RE 3.5's castle was supposed to be Spencer's main family one and it was listed as "the origin of the Progenitor Virus" (instead of RE5's Africa). The whole thing had a finite aura around it, like Leon was going into the belly of the beast, to go and fight the Big Bad (Spencer) and put a closure to the whole trilogy. Most likely even Umbrella, though I doubt they would just throw that whole angle away. They'd just introduce "neo-Umbrella" corpos to take the mantle like they have.
