Resident Evil 4 Remake trailer hides a worrying easter egg

pcgamesn.com:

If you’ve been with the series since 1996, you’ll have noticed that Resident Evil has a nasty habit of killing your favourite supporting characters. I won’t name names just yet, because I don’t want to spoil anything, but Resident Evil 4 especially seems to take pleasure in making you really like someone, then unceremoniously bumping them off when you least expect. As we approach the Resident Evil 4 release date, and the return of both the Capcom horror game and Leon Kennedy, the latest Resident Evil 4 Remake trailer seems to be hiding a subtle, but very troubling, easter egg.

Massive spoiler warning for Resident Evil 4. If you haven’t played the original game, or want to keep yourself in the dark for the remake, you may want to turn back now. Everyone else, follow me.

Okay, so we all remember what happens at the end of Chapter 3, Part 3 in the original Resident Evil 4. Luis Sera, our beloved and highly suave cop companion is killed by a tentacle in the back from arch Los Illuminado Osmund Saddler. Especially after the cabin fight, Luis feels like your bro – if Capcom’s objective here is to make you really, really hate Saddler, as soon as the spike pierces Luis’ chest, it’s mission accomplished.

The new Resident Evil 4 Remake trailer, however, suggests Luis lives way beyond Chapter 3. We see him alongside Leon in the minecart section. He’s there when we fight the two El Gigantes. On the surface, it looks like he’s going to make it – our number-one guy, besides maybe The Merchant, has been allowed to live. But it’s not quite that simple.

It’s a massive blink-and-you’ll-miss-it moment, on-screen for less than a second, but if you pause the new RE4 trailer at just the right time, you can see something troubling hidden at
