Resident Evil 4 has maintained a surprisingly vibrant modding neighborhood since its unique PC launch. Mods such because the Resident Evil 4 HD Undertaking even gained traction for his or her mixture of ambition and love for the supply materials.

The identical stays true for this yr’s Resident Evil 4 Remake, as Leon’s mission sparked one other modding neighborhood to come back buzzing to life. From weird costume replacements for the principle solid to huge shifts in gameplay, Resident Evil 4 Remake‘s mods give its PC model much more character than it already noticed in its console counterparts.

El Chapulin Colorado – Leon

Lots of Resident Evil 4 Remake‘s add or change outfits for its core solid. Some vary from cool to attractive, however the El Chapulin Colorado costume for Leon is a real gem. There’s even a model for Luis, to allow them to match!

El Chapulain Colorado is a bumbling superhero from Mexico who’s greatest identified for his 1973 comedy, the place he causes extra issues than he solves. Though much less identified now, he was internationally common sufficient to have The Simpsons‘ Bumblebee Man primarily based on him.

Whereas it’s fascinating realizing this mod’s background, it stays amongst my favorites due to how goofy Leon seems to be. He seems to be ridiculous working round carrying tight spandex with bobbling antennas, eradicating virtually all stress. What I like most is the way it harkens again to equally foolish costumes from different horror video games like Silent Hill 3. It’s a pattern I believe ought to return, and Leon’s El Chapulin Colorado costume affirms this perception.

First Particular person Perspective

Because the title signifies, the First Particular person Perspective mod provides a first-person mode to Resident Evil 4 Remake. Bug encounters are unsurprising because it’s nonetheless in beta, however it seems to operate fairly properly.

Whereas the vanilla recreation is receiving official VR assist, this mod resembles the later mainline Resident Evil entries. The idea alone is intriguing as a result of whereas Resident Evil 4 Remake was constructed with third-person in thoughts, the brand new perspective radically modifications the expertise.

Nightmare

For many who performed Resident Evil 4 Remake a lot that even Skilled problem was a cakewalk, the Nightmare mod is for you. The promoting level for this mod is it will increase the issue to a terrific diploma and applies to most difficulties.

What helps it stand out is that the issue will increase not solely lies inside buffing enemies however typically remixing the sport. The seller now has extra objects with many that includes elevated costs. Repairs are additionally costlier, and bought objects provide much less of a return. Service provider requests additionally reward extra spinels with extra objects purchased with them. It even options an Inferno mode the place enemies’ speeds are elevated, making the expertise much more brutal.

The remixed gameplay primarily based on excessive problem is one thing Capcom already toyed with. Though an general disappointment, the Resident Evil 3 remake shines on higher difficulties as a result of it remixes most merchandise placements, forcing gamers to reframe their strategy. Nightmare’s Inferno mode even takes its title from RE3R‘s problem of the identical title. It’s a neat idea that’s good to see return in RE4 Remake, whilst a mod.

REFramework

REFramework does what it describes. Its intent is including highly effective scripting instruments for different modders to create extra complete mods inside Resident Evil 4 Remake. Rather a lot depend on it, and the Resident Evil 4 mod scene wouldn’t be the place it’s immediately with out it.

Its significance for the RE4R modding neighborhood makes it the preferred obtain, however it’s additionally a cool mod by itself. Alongside scripting options, it provides Ultrawide assist and an FOV slider, which ought to have been within the base recreation. It additionally provides VR assist, however this function will quickly be out of date when official assist rolls out.

Leon Kennedy’s Tramp Stamp

I needed to avoid wasting the very best for final as a result of the Leon Kennedy Tramp Stamp is the face of Resident Evil 4 modding neighborhood. It’s perfection, no notes — It’s what I consider any time RE4 mods come up. Of all of the costume mods, irrespective of how good or ridiculous, none beat the tramp stamp.

Remake’s model is nothing new, both. The legacy of the tramp stamp mod goes again to the unique RE4, and whereas the 2 variations have differing designs and creators, they share the identical vitality.

It additionally simply matches Leon amazingly. Out of any Resident Evil lead, he’s positively the one who would go for the decrease again tat, and the mod solely confirms he pulls the look off, no downside.
