Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways Trailer Showcases Ada’s Updated Grappling Gun and New Threats

wccftech.com:

While most suspected it was coming, last week Capcom officially announced a new version Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways, the side story featuring Ada Wong from the original version of the game, would be launching this week. That initial announcement didn’t include much gameplay, but now Capcom has delivered a launch trailer full of juicy moments.

In terms of actual gameplay, the biggest takeaway from the Separate Ways trailer is the expanded role of Ada’s grappling gun. While she had the gun in the original version of Separate Ways, it was mostly something used contextually at certain set points, whereas now it seems to be fully integrated into gameplay. We see Ada use it to both traverse the environment and take on enemies, robbing them of their shields. In addition to the grappling hook, we get some interplay between Ada and both Luis and Wesker, as well as some hints at threats not in the base Resident Evil 4 remake. It’s very brief, but could that clawed hand at around the 1:40 mark hint at U-3 (aka “It”), the one cut boss from the RE4 Remake? Let’s hope so! You can check out the trailer for yourself, below.

Looking good, although I suspect this trailer won’t alleviate criticisms of the new Ada’s voice acting. Haven’t been keeping up with Separate Ways? Here’s a quick official description…
