I love how much love has been given to this DLC. Did everybody notice that even ganados phrases were adapted to match Ada's gender (Such as Forastero to Forastera, or Cogedlo to Cogedla)? This is such an attention to detail, and as an Spanish speaker makes my heart happy and warm ❤

[@BigBadWolframio]

[@TheFawse]

I laughed out loud when Wesker was talking about complete local saturation. One of my friends and I constantly quote RE5 to each other, love how goofy the dialogue is in that game

[@LongTran-kp3kz]

Ada is GORGEOUS and yes, RE4:R's 'Separate Ways' campaign was the way a 'B Scenario' should be. Like, parallel, but its own thing. Oh, and the remix of Ada's theme for the chapter intermission thing is coo. And yes, Luis' inclusion and expanded storyline beats was AMAZING!!!! It really helped show just how sincere Luis' motivations were and gut punch us more when, y'know, he dies. Plus, I thought it was cool that Ada was infected and how it only added to Luis' importance. And yes, 3.5 stuff is awesome. I actually wanna see more of that. Tbh, I liked Ada's characterization now that I know that a lot of it was more of a 'mask' than anything else.

[@griffwilson5932]

Luis was already a character I liked in the original, and this game and the dlc further enforced that. Such a great character.

[@bravebiird]

i realized a bit after seeing it that ada's new eye is the same one that was bandaged in umbrella chronicles. they may have canonized her losing her eye in the fall omg

[@Jazz117able]

I never had an issue with Ada in RE4make, but Separate Ways was the icing on the cake. The characterisation was brilliant, so many small details. The ways she interacts with Wesker was great, like, there's an element of fear that you see her deal with. With Leon it's the opposite, she's fond of him, but she struggles to show it. The teddybear on the keys took on new meaning. I'd love to see Capcom take this more layered version of Ada into her own game.

[@destroyazoid2060]

I noticed how she’s blank when she’s around Leon but when she’s either alone or with others she’s more alive.

[@maubpp]

I really gotta echo the sentiment of this Ada growing on me. I already thought she was fine with the exception of a few flatly delivered lines in the main campaign, but Separate Ways really recontextualized her overall character for me. Everyone in this game is grappling with past trauma. Leon is a lot colder than he was in RE2 but still has a sense of humor and charm. I chalk it up to the fact that he's actively doing what he knows is the right thing. Ada doesn't have that luxury. She's a cog in the gear that works to cause harm. We get to listen to her internalizing the consequences of her actions in the opening monologue. She's detached herself and made herself colder, knowing that what she's doing could lead to the world's destruction. Witnessing Leon and Luis fight to make things right is what inspires her flip the switch at the end and turn on Wesker. I never thought I'd be writing a whole dissertation on the fucking story of Resident Evil of all things but man. Capcom really made the perfect game here. Amazing video as always, Suzi! ❤

[@marketeagle4508]

Agreed on everything you said here! I'm really happy with how they made everyone a better more nuanced version of the original. Ada has the most glaring change in that we never really saw her struggle before. She seems more human here as far as RE goes. We saw her get nervous, agitated and doubt herself from time to time. A far cry from the calm, collected and often playful Ada that the original showed us. This is a more raw take on her and it just pushes the envelope in terms of growth potential on her story. Capcom should explore this more because they really planted the seeds in this remake.

[@fadeT0grey010]

Agreed! On top of that, Ada holds herself to a very high standard as a professional in her line of work. The fact that she nearly failed and almost died during the events of RE2R because of her unplanned growing attachment to Leon must've pushed her to be more cold if she ever encountered him again. And she tries for the most part in RE4R's main scenario. What makes the "flat" delivery of such detachment so fitting is that she tries AND FAILS to be detached. Her tone of voice and her cadence say she's trying not to care, but her decisions and actions otherwise betray what she truly feels - she absolutely still cares for Leon in much the same way as before (if not more so) and to a certain extent innocent Ashley as well. The delivery sounded weird because she was conflicted and did not really have her heart set on being cold and detached, no matter how she insists to herself otherwise.

[@babyscarzoomin8145]

Did her voice acting improve, though?

[@aegrajag]

​@@babyscarzoomin8145I don't think it was recorded later, it's the same performance but it makes more sense in SW, I do wonder if they had to rush her voice work because there are a few really bad lines and it's weird they didn't have another take

One thing interesting that was found in an in-game document. Krauser was the first successful experiment with the Amber (which is revealed to be stronger than the dominant strain Saddler had). A hint at things to come, maybe?

That's exactly why Wesker took his body, and why Ada's "little act of defiance changes nothing". He's already seen the result of a successful experiment and he knows what to look for when dissecting it. That will speed up the development of Uroboros by *years*.

[@acgearsandarms1343]

Everything about Separates Way for the Remake is fantastic. It is a shame Capcom doesn't put out this quality in every game they do. Also, love the new costumes especially Luis' new costume which I like more than his original! Lastly, the flamenco dance at the beginning is probably my favorite part! Edit: One thing I did realizea after playing thorugh the reason Ada vomits the plaga is because Pasanta is the one who infected her and now that it was dead, its plaga no longer had that connection with it and thus she vomited it out. It also parallels to the ganados we see when Saddler dies at the end of the story.

It works well with her character, as a mysterious spy that vocally isn't expressive, but otherwise is a very "vocal" person in terms of body expressions. Its a nice touch. Sure, she may lose her composure sometimes even though rare, but its done pretty intentionally. *Spoilers ahead* I really liked when she was looking at Krauser and Saddler taking Ashely on the island, Wesker held her at gunpoint to blow up the island. Later, Wesker is smiling while looking at Krauser and Saddler like the villain he is, scheming a move; and she is staring right at him and picks up on it. Shows her very analytical and smart way of being. That's just one of many cases of she conveys her emotion. What touched my heart was when she got to the boat to go to the island, and hides when she hears Leon running that she smiles and softly says "Leon". It was so endearing. One last one is the concern on her face become stoic when she sees Ashely before going to give Leon the RPG. Also, I love Ashely is really concerned about Leon there and you really see how much their bond grew. This DLC was amazing, and the base game already clocked me in at 150 hrs, I am definitely having this RE game as most played soon with the DLC. Can't wait to see what they do with Wesker's character going forward.

[@Kacpa2]

She doesnt do it through hwr voice because Lily Gao isnt not too good fo a voice actress or was very lazily directed, so her performance is forever monotone and soulless sounding. Capcom really blew it with her character in that regard. They either should've cast someone more experienced in voice acting or directed Gao more to get a decent performance out of her, they done neither so its what it is...

[@Scottie001]

@@Kacpa2 I personally like it, fits her whole character and where they’re driving her character to. It’s more realistic and I feel as if capcom did it intentionally. I didn’t like her VA too much either in base RE4R because we barely saw her and just heard her more. Yet, now that we see her express herself more through the game, I like her more. Her VA does a pretty good job imo now that she has more dialogue and now the motion capture can be used to the full extent. It’s her body language and facial expressions that really sell it.

[@Kacpa2]

@@Scottie001 I didnt say a colder acting Ada wouldnt work, but she is complete blank and monotone even tho it would greatly benefit her to string Leon and Luis along, same way she did in RE2R. There were plenty of moment she acted colder to Leon there too especially early on or when she confronted Anette, but it didnt feel hollow like RE4R performance.

[@Scottie001]

@@Kacpa2 that’s a fair point

[@blueflare3848]

Yes, exactly! I completely agree. Ada's expressions are subtle, but the emotion is still there. Every once in a while you see the cracks in her facade. Lily found the perfect balance of being expressive enough that it doesn't feel stiff, but isn't overly expressive to the point that it's out of character.

[@thatonegeeksite5251]

I loved the top secret lab section. Just how quiet it was with the alarm going off. Felt like something out of the movie Aliens. Fantastic DLC.

[@TheScribe1.0]

That Martinico monster was a nice change of pace. That thing scared the hell out of me. The first time I encountered it I ran into a dead end and fired multiple shots that did nothing. Should’ve read the files. The second time I managed to escape the first chase, but the second chase was a different story. It was terrifying knowing that this deformed indestructible bastard was right behind me about to rip me a new asshole.

[@kujo4388]

I just love how ada has unique melee animations and uses her grapple hook! One nitpick I had was that she had the same moves as Leon in the original, happy they changed that.

[@SuperRus9000]

It's so great seeing a high quality story dlc like this and for such a good price too! Can't wait to play it!

[@Okkotsu86275]

Separate Ways was so damn good. Ada was so lovely. I happy you enjoyed the DLC

[@benjammin5252]

I was pleasantly surprised how long it was. I knew the original was fairly short, so I didn’t think it would be very long. I finally finished my S+ professional run today. This game was best $10 I’ve ever spent. The serenity song also being remastered, hit me right in the nostalgia feels.

[@PaleVoyager]

I'm really glad you exist. Your passion is insane and you're amazing at crafting love letters to the games you cover. Thank you SH!

[@alfietrembath5082]

Was beyond happy with this DLC! Really cool little detail I found that I think a lot of people missed when Ada’s by the church if you grapple hook up to the roof and wait by the window you can actually here Ashley crying was such a cool little detail

[@co81385]

Yes! I noticed this too!

[@adanrios7951]

I liked little things like that. If you go towards the village, you can hear gunshots from Leon fighting villagers on the other side of the wall.

I hate that I didn't find this channel sooner. Her voice is so soothing and her love for resident evil is so authentic and speaks so eloquently about the games and series as a whole. Subscribing ASAP!

Just wanted to congratulate you for you voice acting gig in Cyberpunk. So happy to see you having awesome success in life! Much love as well as respect!

[@slipstream7324]

I like Ada's voice. Definitely has a 'virginia slim 120 woman' kinda vibe

[@7DeadlyJinxs]

It had the vibe of someone reading off a script.

[@The4thSnake]

I like the laser hallway being a mash-up of the RE4 and movie/REUC versions. General aesthetic of the latter, but the orange lasers of the former. And then the final nod to the film is a neat touch.

[@SociaCin]

Yeah, crushing hard on Ada now.

[@somerandolad]

We all are, believe me.

[@javiercalderon8072]

There's also a really cool detail at the very end of the game. When Wesker is walking on the deck of the ship, there is a slowed down version of "Winds of Madness" playing in the background, which I think pretty much confirms RE5 Remake is next.

[@divineoblivionx]

I just realized that there was no mention of the remix of her original theme from RE2 Original. It plays at the end of each chapter I believe and when saving I think. I thought it was pretty damn cool considering how much I loved her original theme from the classic RE2.

[@Eze460]

You're krauser and steve revival theory got me so excited OMG! if that turns out to be true then that'll be freaking awesome!

[@DamBaker95]

The Seperate ways remake DLC is the perfect example of what a remake/DLC should be for me. It modernizes the story in a very good way and the gameplay is amazing. It's really a love letter to the fans who have been with the RE franchise for a long time now. All the subtle references and details, it's a gift that keeps on giving!

[@josheeee9139]

Now this.... is a 10 out of 10 right here. It's incredible with how well this whole game really was. Doing a lot of different stuff while also trying out a lot of new stuff, I would say more but then I would end up spoiling the game so all I'm gonna say is RE 4 remake is my #1 favorite next to RE 2 and 3 and Village

[@whodatninja439]

Getting the plr would make it a 10/10

[@ArsevensX]

If you read the file near Martinico, it turns out that Krauser is the only person who succeeded experiment with the Amber. Which is why Wesker was there, looking for info about how the Amber works, and take Krauser's body instead of other master plaga remains like Salazar or Mendez. It clears things up. It added more context to why Krauser is perfect subtitutions for the Amber.

[@greed-1914]

Yes. Also, at the end of the base game, it seemed like Ada's decision gets in the way of RE5, but it turns out Wesker already had what he needed. Letting her continue to go after the Amber was just a distraction by the time he changed her mission.

[@ryanpost1446]

In the age of everyone nitpicking at any and everything in video games. Gotta say this review was quite refreshing.

[@GoufinAround_]

The RE: Remake version of Ada might be the most attractive video game character of all time

[@IRLZeni]

I was watching your story video while playing Separate ways and as you were predicting the u3 fight, the cutscene started playing for me. I just really loved the timing. The odds were insane

[@spideymatt93]

My only complaints with this DLC were in environmental continuity errors. It was like OG RE3 where the police station looked different than what we saw in OG RE2. Blockades in places they weren't with Leon, or there before Leon arrives. It was so weird. Oh and being thrown into a boss fight 5 minutes in. lol Overall I had a really fun time with it!!

[@d3athwillcom390]

I believe Ada’s song when Leon leaves her in the office in OG RE2 is used as the chapter end

[@TheWalkinDude]

More love went into this DLC than the entirety of the Resident Evil 3 Remake.

[@skyuru]

What a shame...many RE3 fans are disappointed and for a good reason.

[@cammyshill3099]

Love has nothing to do with it, the people who made 3 were passionate about it as they were passionate about 2 and 4, but 3 was clearly a side project to 2 later expanded with way less budget to work with. Passion and love can't quite produce a budget out of thin air.

[@skyuru]

@@cammyshill3099 exactly its not about love, its about "profits" since RE3R was supposed to be an "DLC" for RE2R and also the new producer was not interested to RE3 and Jill since his fav game was RE2 and Ada.

[@TheWalkinDude]

@@cammyshill3099 lol okay.

[@whodatninja439]

Re3 was Outsourced to capcoms c-team 💀 wtf were they thinking 💀

[@Burori1]

I love how silly Luis is in the opening scene. It's cute and funny and it gives him all the more character! He's like a character magnet! And speaking of new games, I have a thought that the RE team are creating a new timeline. Like a soft reboot, without exactly rebooting things. So we get a polished series of games where at SOME POINT we'll properly go forward in the timeline, but first, gotta set things "right"

[@danking1668]

Excellent review of an excellent dlc. This whole game is so much fun!

[@flatjacket.]

i dont have enough time to watch your streams anymore, but i wish you keep doing great and happy cause you deserve it!

[@CriticalNobody]

RE4R Separate Ways is a quality DLC more than worth the $10. Really enjoyed the added verticality to levels and the soundtrack slaps. I wish we weren't stuck with Nyquil Ada but accepting that, it's a good experience.

[@PhifeZulu]

Wow all that Krauser Steve and Jill speculation was just epic. I want all of this now

[@graefx]

I mean clearly the Merchant has a crush on Leon. Tongue tied and silent in front of a cute boy and holding onto his jacket.

[@steelbear2063]

Can't blame him

[@contra5975]

Wesker uses Krausers dominant plaga to form what we see at the end of RE5. You can see the similarities with the arm blade.

[@harryblocks]

You'll make for an amazing Ada Wong cosplay Hunter :D

[@ArchOfWinter]

I want a few more DLCs! A Krauser story with him in a Operation Javier. A Luis story with him as the unreliable narrator playing the hero with his sidekick Leon and the damsel Ashley in tow, but along the way, he must avenge Leon's heroic sacrifice against Krauser and him sailing off into the sunset with Ashely and later awarded a medal by the President, then the screen fades into Luis' fantastical life finished flashing before dying eyes as Leon grieves for his passing. Also, more Mercenaries additions, like alternate costume/loadout in RE5 & 6. Add Ashely like with her in a weaponless knight armor just body slamming everyone or a potential future Ashley where she is a Secret Service agent.

[@koffiya9184]

Great review, I have replayed this DLC several times already as I was a huge fan of OG Separate Ways and my expectations have been completely exceeded! Regarding Ada however, I don't think it's a cyborg eye, it's probably some kind of high-tech contact lens (replacing the sunglasses she was using at first half of the original game) :-)

[@rantmilk]

My favorite thing is how in the main game we kind of are left wondering why ada just threw the amber away. We get some hints in it but not fully. In this you actually get the progression of her slowly understanding how shady wesker is and she gets more and more hesitant as the story goes on. So it actually is entirely in character for her to get rid of it by the end.

[@deangagatr3886]

The only sad part was krauser cut but makes sense with the Remake Changes

[@petercutler5334]

yay was hoping you would be able to do a video for this when I heard this was out. your passion for re helps gets me hyped for it and is always more interesting than typical reviews

[@PersianGamer36]

I am obsessed with her pistol reload animation not sure if it’s same as Leon but I do love the sounds and animation of it. I constantly over reload just to do it

[@TheVileOne]

Sphere Hunter’s Resident Evil reviews are simply epic and a joy to watch.

[@AlexRN]

Chances that we get Assignment Ada later on? That’s the one important piece of content from the original we still lacking.

[@markcobuzzi826]

In order for Assignment Ada to become a worthwhile addition to the RE4 Remake, I think they would need to somehow make AA’s gameplay much more differentiated from than of Separate Ways. I feel this way, because the original’s AA mode seems to play like a mere prototype to the SW campaign introduced later. Apart from the Merchant/treasures being absent, the collectible key items taking up inventory space, and Ada (in earlier ports) not having a knife, playing AA seems to be no different from playing another SW level. So unless a new AA mode is given much more distinct gameplay/objectives, it might come off as redundant to add AA to the remake. That is, since it already has a more fleshed out SW campaign, which arguably matches/exceeds the content variety of the original’s AA/SW modes combined.

[@That.90s.nerd11]

Gotta love, when Capcom fleshes out and uses some of the ideas they scrapped at one point in time. Or stuff they never got to use properly, they brought back for a later entry in the series.
