A mysterious 4-second video has gone viral on social media, with some claiming it to be the first gameplay footage from the highly anticipated Resident Evil: Code Veronica. The video showcases an iconic scene from the original game, featuring Claire Redfield seen from behind, with a burning car in the background.
Suspected Leaked Footage:
The player community is divided on the authenticity of this leaked video. Well-known series insider Dusk Golem has also joined the discussion. According to his initial assessment, the video is not the work of generative AI. He emphasized that current modern AI technology cannot yet realistically and meticulously recreate the flame physics effects visible in the footage.
However, the authenticity of this leaked video remains questionable: the player community speculates that it could either be a high-quality fan mod based on the Resident Evil 2 Remake or genuine early internal prototype footage from Capcom, which has yet to comment on the matter.
No matter how eager we are to see Claire Redfield's return, it is too early to celebrate or speculate. There are many talented modders in the community who can even fool experienced players. To avoid disappointment, this video should be treated as a rumor until an official announcement from Capcom is made.
