9 HUGE Video Game Spoilers That Were Ruined By Marketing

9. Sony Show Footage Of Sarah's Death At E3 - The Last Of Us: Remastered

What a baffling, truly stupid way to show off what was ultimately the definitive edition of one of the best games of all time. Sony's showcase at E3 2014 literally had the footage from the beginning of the game, where Joel's daughter Sarah slowly and painfully dies in his arms.

Yes, they flagged a "contains spoilers" disclaimer before things kicked off, but how did that help prospective buyers? Was their only solution to turn away from the screen and hope for the best, blind faith-buying a copy somewhere down the road?

Even those of us who already loved The Last of Us didn't want this particular scene being used to "sell" anything.

Needless to say, anyone who'd only heard about The Last of Us and not played it now had the entire opening sequence and its subsequent tone-setting gut-punch ruined.
