Resident Evil 4 - STEYR POWER



A couple of weeks out from a full release, Capcom have pushed a demo of their long-awaited Resident Evil 4 remake to online stores. Presumably the first ten or so minutes of the final game, this preview code allows players to steer a lumpy, drunken-feeling Leon S Kennedy towards an even creepier break-and-enter incident, before urging him on to a one-sided shoot out with an army of creeping Nannas. Fans of ancient GameCube trial discs might recognise this segment as being broadly similar to the teaser packed with a special Capcom edition of Japan's Famitsu magazine. Published back in 2004, that miniDVD allowed extra curious players an opportunity to break the innate loop of the sample level, spawning two distinct chainsaw maniac encounters. These double-leggers, and the currency their defeat conferred, were crucial if the player wanted to unlock the TMP machine pistol. Here, Steyr fans simply have to discard the contents of their menu-bound attaché case before entering the fateful village, then drop down into a refuse-packed cave.
