9 HUGE Video Game Spoilers That Were Ruined By Marketing
6. The "Mysterious Hooded Figure" Is Jill Valentine - Resident Evil 5
Another "Yup, they just HAD to put something in the teaser" reveal, Resi 5 REALLY wanted you to believe that Jill Valentine had bit the big one, prior to release.
Capcom went as far as paying for double page spreads in magazines that saw Chris Redfield kneeling by her grave, only for fans to revolt, as this couldn't be the death of such a beloved character.
Turns out... they were right.
Rather annoyingly considering the buildup and the fact RE5's story treats Valentine's inclusion as a third act shocker, her face was recognisable back in the 2009 teaser, because Capcom were making such a big song n' dance about Jill being killed off.
Various other trailers for RE5 actually showed Albert Wesker half removing her hood too, setting up a supposedly jaw-dropping, "Who could it BE?!" reveal... that everyone knew going in.
