In the world of fan modifications, one creative individual has taken the recently released Resident Evil 4 remake on PC to new heights. This fan has ingeniously incorporated Red Dead Redemption 2's protagonist, Arthur Morgan, into the game, allowing him to hurl spears at the formidable Kyogre from the beloved Pokemon series. Such mashups of different video game franchises have become a hallmark of dedicated fans, who constantly strive to bring a fresh and absurd twist to their favorite games.
Resident Evil 4, originally launched in 2005 for the Nintendo GameCube, garnered widespread acclaim and quickly became a legendary title. Throughout the years, Capcom has released various ports of the game for different systems, even venturing into the realm of virtual reality. However, it was in March 2023 when Capcom unveiled the highly anticipated remake, which not only enhanced the game's visuals but also introduced a revamped formula, injecting a sense of novelty into a game that many fans have replayed countless times.
TikTok user mike_breeeee frequently shares videos featuring surreal versions of video games created through the use of mods. In one particular video, mike_breeeee combines three popular games - Resident Evil 4, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Pokemon - during a play-through of the Resident Evil 4 remake. The highlight of this mash-up is the iconic lake monster fight, where the original protagonist, Leon Kennedy, is replaced by Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2, and the terrifying monster is replaced by the adorable Kygore from Pokemon. This unexpected combination creates a brief yet mind-bending moment where different franchises collide within the video game multiverse.
The remake of Resident Evil 4 has gained popularity among modders, particularly those who enjoy blending the game's dark and intense atmosphere with elements from more lighthearted games. An example of this is a fan who swapped out Leon for Mario and Luis for Luigi. Similar to the lasting impact of mods on The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, it appears that mods will continue to keep Resident Evil 4's remake relevant and beloved by gamers for years to come. The game is currently available on PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
