"During Thursday's Nintendo Partner Direct , Nintendo showed off Resident Evil Requiem and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle , two games headed to its new portable console in the next few months. What stood out most about these segments wasn't the visual quality of the two blockbusters running on less powerful hardware, however, but how terrible whoever was capturing the footage was at playing the games."
"The Direct's trailers for both games were full of missed shots and poorly-timed attacks, as pointed out by former EIC Stephen Totilo . One shot from the trailer showed Leon Kennedy picking up a zombie's chainsaw to fight off enemies only to miss and hit the railing on a bed, causing sparks to fly. Another shot from the Great Circle trailer showed Indiana Jones missing a boat full of Nazis and hitting the water below them instead."
"The trailer is especially funny to watch-the narrator raves about Leon's "physical prowess" and how "he can fire from a distance using handguns and rifles" over clips of him missing shots by literal feet. Compared to a recent Capcom trailer for Requiem , which has no problem showing some pretty graphic stuff, it seems clear Nintendo went out of its way to hide the violence in its latest showcase."
Nintendo showcased Resident Evil Requiem and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle for Switch during a Partner Direct. The trailers contained numerous missed shots and poorly timed attacks instead of polished gameplay, including Leon Kennedy missing with a chainsaw and Indiana Jones missing a boat of Nazis and hitting the water. Narration praised combat and ranged ability while footage displayed near misses. Capcom's recent Requiem trailer shows graphic content, contrasting Nintendo's presentation that downplayed violent visuals. Nintendo previously edited out a hanging-tree clip from The Witcher 3's Direct reveal at E3 2019, reflecting a pattern of toning down violence.
