Resident Evil Easter Egg

To prove just how thorough Resident Evil fans have been in cracking the secrets of the latest demo, a seemingly random code that shows up at the beginning of the VHS tape you find has actually turned out to be a reference to the original game in the series.

Well the Director's Cut of it anyway, as the series of numbers at the side of the screen match the serial number of the Northern American version of the game.

It might only turn out to be a cute easter egg, but with all the other callbacks to the first game both in the demo and in developer interviews surrounding the new release, it only adds fuel to the fire of Resident Evil 7 actually being a reboot of the entire series.
