Resident Evil 4 Remake contains throwback jumpscare to scrapped E3 build
While playing Resident Evil 4 Remake, I’ve found it enjoyable to look for traces of the original game and compare what’s been changed.
Which of Leon’s terrible lines made the script and which didn’t, for example, if the eggs are equipable, whether I’d get some goodies by shooting the lake…
But in recreating and reinventing its masterpiece, Capcom went even further back it seems, as players have spotted a reference to the fabled Resident Evil 3.5, an earlier version of RE4 which was in development but ultimately canned.
Spotted by redditor mrbubbamac, during RE4 Remake you’ll play as Ashley for a short section of the game. As she walks down one particular hallway lined with mounted animal heads, a deer falls to the ground, spooking Ashley (and you, depending on how you fare with jumpscares).
