- (Re)read our critical of the original game Resident Evil 4
Like Nemesis and STARS, who says Léon S Kennedy says Ada Wong. It is the story of an impossible love, as rebellious as insolent. Love cow way Umbrella. It's like this and it can't be any other way since the second episode of Resident Evil released in 1998. Already offered as a bonus in Resident Evil 4 Gamecube, the beautiful Ada was entitled to much more than a deprecated mercenary mode. Quid of Mount 2023 soberly entitled Separate Ways ?
It's been a long time, Leon
Tight red dress, square cut, heels needles and leather boots is the new trend in Raccoon. Everyone who grew up in the 1990s knows how much the character of Ada Wong holds a separate place in a Manichean saga to the assumed series B scenario. Despite the tragic fate suggested by the end of Resident Evil 2Ada Wong survived the Birkin episode, which almost cost her her life. Six years after the disaster that took Raccon City in the nuclear winter, the secret agent was recruited by Albert Wesker aka the bad badass in design at the crossroads of Agent Smith and a Nazi general.
If the main adventure of Resident Evil 4 His appearances were as mysterious as his mercantile ambitions, which were upset by Leon's encounter. The DLC partially responds to aficionados.
Ada is as supple as it is agile. Not displeased by the defenders of good taste, seeing Ada making cabrioles in heels is a form of guilty pleasure, between nostalgia and assumed delirium, far from the academicism that links certain contemporary productions in a politically correct tristounet. So yes, it's completely stupid but we're very happy that heroin wasn't rethought according to contemporary standards. Resident Evil 4 is a B series and the oversexualized outrageous side of this fatal woman is an integral part of DNA a dumb bit of the game.
With his grappin gun (graciously offered by Wesker during the laboratory incident) Ada can rise on some roofs and melt on enemies like an albatross on a crustacea. If this option may seem anecdotal, it reinforces the assumed character of this episode resolutely oriented towards decomplexed action. It is also an opportunity to revisit some clashes against bosses with a more vertical dimension. To this end, the fight against El Gigante offers another perspective. The more we progress in the DLC, the more we enjoy seeing certain situations from a different angle, while we realize that Ada Wong was taped in the shadows for most of the time.
One Verdugo can hide another
Not content to play the fanservice card, Capcom can play with its audience. If one could have regretted the absence of certain passages starting with the laser scene or boss Scorpion, this DLC is a direct response to fans. In the original Gamecube frame, the two Verdigos each had a different destiny: if the first could end up cryogenic in Mister Freeze during the epic battle of the castle's undergrounds, the second would merge with the Savorton Salazar. In the remake, the fate of the second Verdugo remained one of the axes left behind.
So it was necessary to wait for this DLC to face Salazar's second right arm in a fight tribute to boss Scorpion U-3 who was also absent from the remake. If Verdugo's first appearances are questionable in terms of artistic choice, fault on one side « Magic » which has little place in the franchise in my opinion, this second cross boss Scorpion is a frank success. Same for the final fight against Saddler.
Tassel of Ada Wong chemichurri sauce
This DLC also takes the bias to explain its relationship with Luis Sera. Special mention at the introduction Flamenco perfectly in the tone of the character. A band start that immediately sets the tone! Separate Ways also makes the bridge with the man of shadow without which nothing would have happened: Albert Wesker who will be entitled to some cinematics well felt. Figure that Roy Batty wouldn't deny in Blade RunnerWesker is the archetype of the wicked eugenic and misanthropist. Suffice to say that it's always nice to find his brushed cup and his mischievous smile. And we will always forgive him his cup has been (if, if!).
In addition to these nice surprises, we will also note the passage in the lab magnified by the ray tracing which makes the red lights of the alarm of all beauty. This more psychological sequence concerning the irruption of fear is probably a memorable wink to another heavyweight of fear.Urvival horror, The Last of Us 2. One naturally thinks of the hospital scene, model of environmental narration and echoes to the beast of The Thing.
Better get a move on. See you around!
You will understand, this DLC is a love letter to fans. If we blame him for some artistic direction choices with the cult monster Vertigo that devolves in a magical mirage, which may seem somewhat contrary to its icy agility in the Game Cube pane, the whole is perfectly on the road. Separate Ways is in line with the original mythology, including riddles. Ada will also play secret agents using her state-of-the-art eye lenses to reveal footprints or solve small puzzles. A touch of diversity that works and refreshes the formula despite the overlay kitsch to the whole.
At the end of a DLC finished in eight hours in hard, we ask again and we come to dream of a complete episode dedicated to Ada. Rather than remake the mediocre Resident Evil 5 (despite its obvious potential for a release of the basic material), the future of the large family Resident Evil Wouldn't he be sexier with the mysterious Ada Wong? Between Opus 4 and 5 or why not in a whole other adventure before the lab incidents. There is no doubt that DLC sales could give Capcom ideas, decidedly on the right track in this generation.
