Over an hour of footage, including the apparent ending of the game, has leaked due to a security flaw with the Indonesian Game Rating System (IGRS). Fans eager to experience the game without spoilers should be wary of major story revelations from the game now circulating online, six weeks ahead of First Light's May 27 launch.

In the bar lounge in Rhodes Hill there's this suspicious bottle, AVERNICO. if you unscramble this word it spells out... VERONICA. i wonder what's next for Resident Evil.

Long after the era of flesh-eating zombies popularized by George A. Romero had faded into the sunset, the team at Capcom injected new life into the genre with the original Resident Evil, a game that not just revitalized zombie media but practically created the blueprint for the modern survival horror game. It goes without saying that the first game was an unprecedented success, spawning both a lasting video game franchise as well as a multimedia empire.

The latest entry in Capcom's horror series is coming out during its 30th anniversary, and while it is one of the most robust marriages of horror and action the series has ever put forth, I can't help but feel like it stumbles on its way to saying something more profound about its own legacy.

As Grace, you'll escape the horrifying monster called The Girl while you're exploring Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center, and in the chase, the creature will lose one of its hands. While it's not required, you can pick up the severed hand and take it with you, but it doesn't have any apparent use from the get go.

The biggest giveaway, beyond heavy use of contrived metaphors, is a striking lack of detail beyond what you could glean from a trailer for the game. Embargoes covering what parts of a video game can come up in a pre-release review can be strict, but a good critic usually finds a way to describe their experience without being vague.

Once you're done watching the credits roll, you'll be back at the main menu. You'll notice that you've unlocked various goodies, including: Insanity Mode is a high difficulty option for those who want to test their skills. A behind-the-scenes video, concept art, and character model viewing. The Jacket costume for Grace and Leon, as well as the Tactical Light skin for Leon's Alligator Snapper weapon.

At the climax of the game, Grace is forced to make a decision between destroying or releasing something called Elpis. The choice is binary and not influenced by anything else you've done in the game up to that point, but what you choose to do will lead to one of two conclusions.
