10 Unbelievably Scary Video Game Locations Discovered By Hackers

Resident Evil 4 truly is the gift that keeps on giving, considering that some 12 years after its original release, one player discovered a deeply sinister new Easter egg hidden within the game's environment.

While exploring Chapter 5-4, YouTuber Slippy Slides discovered that after helicopter pilot Mike gets shot out of the sky, players who use their sniper scope can zoom in to a distant set of ruins and spot the vague outline of a shadowy figure.

This prompted Slippy Slides to use a camera hack to investigate further, allowing him to explore the ruins unrestricted, where he discovered a 2D sprite of an unidentified person.

To date the figure's significance remains unclear, and the low-quality sprite doesn't help, though it's probably fair to guess that they're a member of Resident Evil 4's dev team.
