Grace Ashcroft cannot run to save her life. I'm about 25 minutes into my hands-on Resident Evil Requiem preview, having swapped to third-person mode shortly after dying once at the hands of my grotesque, towering pursuer, and it does nothing to change the fact that she's still among most inept Resident Evil protagonists I've ever played as.
If anything, she's worse. Instead of swiftly rounding the corner to break line of sight like Leon, Claire, Jill, or Chris might have done in a similar situation, Grace slips on a pool of blood and faceplants dramatically. She takes her sweet time getting up to her feet, and no sooner have I walked three paces to hide behind a book case, she's blubbering and sobbing in a way most unbefitting my attempts at stealth.
