Resident Evil 4 has maintained a surprisingly vibrant modding community since its original PC release. Mods such as the Resident Evil 4 HD Project even gained traction for their mix of ambition and love for the source material.
The same remains true for this year’s Resident Evil 4 Remake, as Leon’s mission sparked another modding community to come buzzing to life. From bizarre costume replacements for the main cast to vast shifts in gameplay, Resident Evil 4 Remake‘s mods give its PC version even more personality than it already saw in its console counterparts.
Many of Resident Evil 4 Remake‘s add or replace outfits for its core cast. Some range from cool to sexy, but the El Chapulin Colorado costume for Leon is a true gem. There’s even a version for Luis, so they can match!
El Chapulain Colorado is a bumbling superhero from Mexico who is best known for his 1973 comedy, where he causes more problems than he solves. Although less known now, he was internationally popular enough to have The Simpsons‘ Bumblebee Man based on him.
While it’s interesting knowing this mod’s background, it remains among my favorites because of how goofy Leon looks. He looks ridiculous running around wearing tight spandex with bobbling antennas, removing practically all tension. What I like most is how it harkens back to equally silly costumes from other horror games like Silent Hill 3. It’s a trend I think should return, and Leon’s El Chapulin Colorado costume affirms this belief.
As the title indicates, the First Person Perspective mod adds a first-person mode to Resident Evil 4 Remake. Bug encounters are unsurprising since it’s still in beta, but it appears to function quite well.
While the vanilla game is receiving official VR support, this mod resembles the later mainline Resident Evil entries. The concept alone is intriguing because while Resident Evil 4 Remake was built with third-person in mind, the new perspective radically changes the experience.
For those who played Resident Evil 4 Remake so much that even Professional difficulty was a cakewalk, the Nightmare mod is for you. The selling point for this mod is it increases the difficulty to a great degree and applies to most difficulties.
What helps it stand out is that the difficulty increases not only lies within buffing enemies but generally remixing the game. The vendor now has more items with many featuring increased prices. Repairs are also more expensive, and sold items offer less of a return. Merchant requests also reward more spinels with more items bought with them. It even features an Inferno mode where enemies’ speeds are increased, making the experience even more brutal.
The remixed gameplay based on high difficulty is something Capcom already toyed

Capcom has officially confirmed it plans to continue releasing remakes of older Resident Evil games after the success of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4.

NASA's OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft, formerly known as OSIRIS-REx, is actively preparing for a groundbreaking solar approach, bringing it closer to the Sun than ever before as it targets the asteroid Apophis. The spacecraft's closest approach, referred to as perihelion, is set for January 2, 2024, positioning OSIRIS-APEX approximately 46.5 million miles away from the Sun. This distance is roughly half the span between Earth and the Sun and well within the orbit of Venus. NASA has highlighted that this close encounter will subject the spacecraft's components to higher temperatures than originally designed.
Surprise, surprise: Capcom are working on another Resident Evil remake in their successful series of ground-up rebuilds for the survival-horror franchise. As for whether we’ll barrel straight into Resident Evil 5 from this year’s RE4 Remake or jump back to Zero or even, uh, sideways to Code Veronica? They won’t say - yet.
It won’t come as a surprise to anyone considering the success Capcom has had with past Resident Evil remakes, but the company has plans for more.
