*WARNING, SPOILERS AHEAD*
One major change, to the current remake release, is that the game's iconic villain, Albert Wesker, is now only appearing in a new post-credits scene that was not present in the original game.
Throughout the original "RE4," Wesker appeared in multiple parts of the game, talking to Ada Wong about her mission.
But in this remake, Wesker only appeared until the very end, when Ada successfully stole the amber and was flying off in a helicopter. The double agent, Ada, then forces the to turn the helicopter around, forcing the pilot to go back after Wesker revealed his plans to use the amber to kill billions.
This new scene may be a precursor to "Resident Evil 5's" remake soon, as it could drastically change the game as well. Still, there are no announcements yet from CAPCOM regarding this new game.
