Later this month, Resident Evil 4’s huge, fancy remake will likely be launched on consoles and PC. And it appears to be like nice! However, somebody has remade the enduring opening of the sport as a Lego online game and now I wish to play this completely different however awesome-looking tackle an RE4 remake.
Released again in 2005, Resident Evil 4 took the long-running horror franchise from Capcom in a brand new course. Starring Leon from Resident Evil 2, this beloved sequel ditched the static cameras and tank controls of the older entries and moved to an over-the-shoulder third-person perspective whereas additionally upping the motion. The finish outcome was an exceptional sport that I nonetheless take into consideration (and purchase) all these years later. And a brand new video reveals what would occur when you took that very same fundamental setup, however changed the dingy maps and realistic-visuals with a number of digital Lego bricks.
Created by Cara Aleatorio, the clearly titled “LEGO RESIDENT EVIL 4 ANIMATION” could not win any awards for its to-the-point identify, however the whole lot else about this brief video is fantastic. In the video, uploaded yesterday, Aleatorio makes use of audio from the unique sport (not the upcoming remake or its latest demo) to recreate the primary couple of minutes of RE4.
And this isn’t only a recreation of the cutscenes. Instead, Aleatorio really consists of Lego-ifed gameplay that includes Leon strolling round and taking pictures birds and enemies alike. The pistol he’s utilizing isn’t an precise Lego piece so far as I can inform, however I’ll let that slide as a result of it appears to be like so good and feels appropriately Lego-y. I additionally respect all of the tiny particulars included within the video, like the best way the laser might be seen reflecting off close by Lego bricks and gadgets. Or the small fingerprints and scratches seen on some bricks. At occasions, this looks as if it was made with actual bricks!
However, in keeping with Aleatorio, this was really created digitally in Blender. They say it took about two months and 3000 pictures to create the brief four-minute video. And on the very finish of the brief, you may spot some behind-the-scenes footage of them manually animating this superior Lego recreation.
G/O Media could get a fee
Now, we simply have to persuade everybody concerned to approve and make a Lego model of Resident Evil 4 so I can really spin-kick a maniac villager utilizing the minifig model of Leon. Until then, I assume I’ll simply be proud of the soon-to-be-released remake arriving on March 24 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. That’s good too, I assume…
