Walk up to a table with a mess of gunk on it and Chris’s reaction is: “A chainsaw…? What were they doing here?” Let’s see: Buzzing flies, check. I’m also not sure the “inspect” descriptions have the “gravitas” they once did. Some structures have destructible parts, but tethered to trigger-events. You can shoot and swing a knife “through” your partner (collision detection). Otherwise the mechanics feel really familiar: Do you waste precious time going for deadly headshots? Or fire at less vulnerable but easier to hit body parts, wasting precious ammo instead? Mix and match. Weapons: Ithaca M37 shotgun, M92F handgun, S75 rifle, grenades, and of course: the nondescript knife. Sheva has finite ammo and isn’t afraid to spend it, so the game breaks with two cliches: You partner’s actually an effective crack shot, but doesn’t have infinite stores of bullets for you to hide behind. If you stay in close, melee triggers occasionally appear, say the option to pop a hook or uppercut, or stomp on non-quite-dead dudes while they’re down. Shotgun, handgun, knife, they work the same here as the last time around. She has a tattoo on her upper left arm that reads “shujaa.” Not ringing any bells.Įventually red-eyed zombie-things (which incidentally look and lurch-run toward you the same as RE4’s red-eyed zombie-things) show up and start climbing through windows or opening doors or knocking down walls to get at you. Her name is Sheva Alomar (first name apparently pronounced CHEV-uh) and I was going to say she had an Australian accent until I read that the actress who voices her was aiming for an African-English-European-Jamaican-Irish-East-Indian composite (which still sounds basically Australian to me). (I could be totally wrong, I’m just guessing based on the prevalence of that tree type in those areas.) Your companion, a woman, has a rifle slung across her back and a pistol in hand. Nearby: What looks to me like an African banana tree, which may suggest an East African locale like Uganda, Burundi, or Rwanda. The sky is clear blue with a few wispy clouds. A few tires are half-sunk in the ground with the characters 7BER5 gouged in dusty rubber. Oily plumes of smoke rise in the distance.
Public Assembly starts midday without fanfare, just the protagonist Chris Redfield and companion standing on the shadow-side of a rack-and-ruin building flanked by corrugated sheets of metal. The demo offers two levels, one called “Public Assembly,” another called “Shanty Town.” Also: Single play or cooperative play (online or offline).
