Resident Evil 4 Remake: What Does the Post-Credits Scene Mean?

A new scene could hint at changes in future Resident Evil remakes.

Resident Evil 4 Remake is out, and it’s excellent. The survival horror game has a darker and moodier tone than the original, which was released back in 2005.

The remake, out Friday, makes improvements to the game’s mechanics and other optimizations as well as several changes to the storyline. One big one is a post-credits scene that could have ramifications in future Resident Evil game remakes.

Developer Capcom hasn’t yet confirmed there will be remakes for Resident Evil 5 or 6, but it’s remade the first four games in the popular series.

Albert Wesker returns

One major Resident Evil character missing from RE4 Remake is the series antagonist, Albert Wesker. He’s one of the puppet masters and main villains of the series.

It’s not until the post-credits scene that Wesker shows his face in RE4 Remake. It’s revealed that Wesker hired female spy extraordinaire Ada Wong to steal the amber, which is the source of the Las Plagas parasite that infected the villagers and cultists in the game.

In her escape helicopter, Ada asks Wesker what he plans on doing with the amber. Wesker gives a supervillainous speech that the amber will lead to the loss of billions of lives. Ada then forces the pilot to change course in a change of heart.

In the original RE4, Wesker is seen in multiple scenes talking to Ada about her mission. She also confirms her success to him on her escape helicopter but doesn’t force the pilot to turn around.

How does this change Wesker’s plan?

In the original Resident Evil canon, Wesker becomes a major player working in the shadows. His organization tracks down bioweapons across the globe and tries to steal samples in order to replicate these weapons. This ultimately leads to his demise in Resident Evil 5, when Resident Evil 1 protagonist Chris Redfield takes him down.

With Ada backing out of Wesker’s plan in RE4 Remake, this could change how the story plays out in a future Resident Evil 5 remake.

Capcom has yet to confirm it’s working on remaking RE5, but it seems possible given it remade the first four games in the series.

What was the original Resident Evil 4 post-credit scene?

The original RE4 had a completely different post-credit scene. In the original, Leon has a final report with Ingrid Hunnigan, the federal agent providing him intel on his mission to rescue the president’s daughter.

After confirming he’s saved the president’s daughter Ashley, he noticed Hunnigan doesn’t have her glasses on. He compliments her looks and attempts to get her phone number, which fails miserably, leading to Leon saying «Story of my life.»

RE4 Remake comes out on Friday for $60 on PC, PS4, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Chrome Autofill Now Supports Passport, Driver’s License and Vehicle Info

Soon, you’ll never need to remember anything ever again.

Computer users are accustomed to web browsers autofilling everything from names and addresses to credit card numbers. Now, Google Chrome is adding new enhanced autofill options that allow users to automatically populate fields for passports, driver’s licenses, and their vehicle’s license plate or VIN, Google said in a blog post on Monday.

Desktop users must choose to turn on the feature, which is called enhanced autofill. Otherwise, it stays off. To turn it on, open Chrome, and at the top right of your browser, select more, then settings, then autofill and passwords. Finally, choose enhanced autofill and turn it in.

Google says Chrome now can «better understand complex forms and varied formatting requirements, improving accuracy across the web.» The company also says that enhanced autofill will be «private and secure.»

This enhanced autofill update is available in all languages, and more data options will be supported in the coming months.

A representative for Google said the company had no additional comment.

Chrome is a critical component in Google’s business. The web browser, currently the most popular in the world with a 73% market share, according to GlobalStats, provides the company with valuable user data that it uses to sell advertising. Advertising is how Google makes the majority of its revenues. New features help keep users loyal to Chrome, making it more difficult for them to switch to other browsers, including those from companies like Perplexity and OpenAI.
