There’s nothing fairly like a brand new tackle a traditional recreation, and Resident Evil 4 ought to be no exception. We’ve already encountered sufficient mods for the remake, so it’s good to see the 2005 model of Resident Evil 4 nonetheless getting some love in 2D kind.

This one comes courtesy of DooMero over on Doomworld (noticed by PCGamesN), and is actually a sort-of “demake” of Resident Evil 4 which turns the third-person horror title right into a 2D shooter.

A current video uploaded to the modder’s YouTube channel exhibits 30-minutes of motion from the undertaking. Certainly, we get to see Leon Kennedy, as he was within the authentic RE4, making his manner by means of the village in wonderful side-scrolling motion. The twist right here is that it’s being created within the Doom engine; GZDoom to be exact.

So when will we get to play it?

In the meanwhile, there doesn’t look like any launch date for what’s being known as Resident Evil 4 2D. DooMero says they’ve been engaged on the mod since 2016, however needed to take a break. All we are able to actually say is {that a} demo is hopefully coming quickly. We simply don’t know when.

It’s fairly spectacular to see one thing like RE4 being recreated in Doom. It form of goes to indicate simply how versatile the latter continues to be, to not point out how inventive the modding group can get.

It’s a little bit of a brand new tackle what many would take into account to be the perfect Resident Evil recreation ever. Admittedly, going to 2D side-scrolling does give it an antiquated form of appeal, nevertheless it’s only one extra manner we are able to admire Leon’s golden bangs.
