Later this month, Resident Evil 4’s massive, fancy remake shall be launched on consoles and PC. And it seems nice! Nonetheless, 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.
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 end result was an exceptional recreation that I nonetheless take into consideration (and purchase) all these years later. And a brand new video exhibits what would occur in case you took that very same primary setup, however changed the dingy maps and realistic-visuals with a variety 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 all the pieces 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 latest demo) to recreate the primary couple of minutes of RE4.
And this isn’t only a recreation of the cutscenes. As a substitute, Aleatorio truly 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 seems so good and feels appropriately Lego-y. I additionally recognize all of the tiny particulars included within the video, like the way in which the laser might be seen reflecting off close by Lego bricks and objects. Or the small fingerprints and scratches seen on some bricks. At occasions, this looks like it was made with actual bricks!
Nonetheless, in response to Aleatorio, this was truly created digitally in Blender. They are saying it took about two months and 3000 photos to create the quick four-minute video. And on the very finish of the quick, you’ll be able to 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 truly spin-kick a maniac villager utilizing the minifig model of Leon. Till then, I suppose I’ll simply be proud of the soon-to-be-released remake arriving on March 24 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Collection X/S, and PC. That’s good too, I suppose…
