10 Secret Video Game Characters Hiding In Plain Sight
6. Rebecca Chambers - Resident Evil 2
After the success of the original Resident Evil, Capcom decided to ramp up everything for the sequel, including the secrets. Resident Evil 2 boasts tons of hidden modes, costumes, weapons, and characters (including a chunk of sentient tofu).
If players know where to look, they'll also be able to find an image of Rebecca Chambers, the young S.T.A.R.S member from the previous instalment. By scouring through the villainous Albert Wesker's desk, Leon and Claire should find a roll of undeveloped film. After developing it in the lab, our protagonists will see it's a photograph of Rebecca in a sports uniform.
Although our heroes must enter the S.T.A.R.S. office during the main campaign, nobody catches this Easter egg unless they knew about it prior, since it only appears after rummaging through the desk 50 times.
This entire scenario brings up many thought-provoking questions. Firstly, how did Leon and Claire not find the undeveloped film the first 49 times they inspected the desk? Secondly, what compelled the gamer who discovered this secret to investigate Wesker's desk 50 times?
Most importantly, why the hell does Wesker have a picture of Rebecca Chambers in the first place?
You know what? I don't want to know.
