Later this month, Resident Evil 4’s massive, fancy remake might be launched on consoles and PC. And it appears nice! Nonetheless, somebody has remade the enduring opening of the sport as a Lego online game and now I need to play this totally different however awesome-looking tackle an RE4 remake.
Launched 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 top outcome was an outstanding recreation that I nonetheless take into consideration (and purchase) all these years later. And a brand new video reveals what would occur should you took that very same primary setup, however changed the dingy maps and realistic-visuals with a whole lot of digital Lego bricks.
Created by Cara Aleatorio, the clearly titled “LEGO RESIDENT EVIL 4 ANIMATION” might not win any awards for its to-the-point title, however every little thing else about this quick video is great. Within the video, uploaded yesterday, Aleatorio makes use of audio from the unique recreation (not the upcoming remake or its current demo) to recreate the primary couple of minutes of RE4.
And this isn’t only a recreation of the cutscenes. As an alternative, Aleatorio really consists of Lego-ifed gameplay that includes Leon strolling round and capturing 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 so good and feels appropriately Lego-y. I additionally admire all of the tiny particulars included within the video, like the way in which the laser may be seen reflecting off close by Lego bricks and gadgets. Or the small fingerprints and scratches seen on some bricks. At instances, this looks as if it was made with actual bricks!
Nonetheless, in line with Aleatorio, this was really created digitally in Blender. They are saying it took about two months and 3000 photographs to create the quick four-minute video. And on the very finish of the quick, you possibly can spot some behind-the-scenes footage of them manually animating this superior Lego recreation.
G/O Media might get a fee
Now, we simply must 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. Till then, I assume I’ll simply be pleased with the soon-to-be-released remake arriving on March 24 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Collection X/S, and PC. That’s good too, I assume…
