Mod Madness: Resident Evil 3 (2020) Mods

 I did say last time that I'd end up talking about mods a lot, and here we are again.  This time, rather than talking about custom boards, we're talking about Resident Evil 3.  Specifically, I'm going to talk about some of the fun ways you can change up the game with various character mods!  There's simply too many for me to go over every one, but I'll try to cover a decent amount here.

Most of these will be character mods that change the appearance of Jill, Carlos, or others around, but there are other kinds out there too.  I said last time that mods really bring out the creativity in folks, and it's not a different case here, so let's dive on into some Resident Evil 3 mods.

Aerith Gainsborough



This is a character mod for Jill Valentine.  None of the dialogue will be affected but Jill's model will change.  Using Final Fantasy VII Remake as a base, this mod brings Aerith into the world of zombies.  This mod goes further than just being Jill wearing Aerith's outfit, and also changes her face model and includes the new hair as well. It may not affect much gameplay wise, put having the loving and sweet Aerith blasting zombies is definitely good for a laugh and it provides a new way to experience the trip through Resident Evil.

The Last of Us 2 Ellie



A second Character mod for Jill, this one actually provides two different costumes.  Included in this mod are Ellie's Seattle and Winter costumes.  The Seattle costume features Ellie in shorter sleeves and a light jacket, while the Winter one has her more bundled up in a heavier jacket.  Ellie fits pretty well in the game's world, considering that she comes from a game with a post apocalyptic world as well.  The model for Ellie also works well within the engine and doesn't look as out of place as some other mods might.

Dino Evil 3



Deviating from character mods for a moment, we come across this mod that changes a bit of the game.  Taking inspiration from Capcom's Dino Crisis, new foes arrive in Raccoon City in the form of Dinosaurs.  Pairing this with the Regina character mod feels like a whole new Dino Crisis game came roaring out, only this time, there are zombies too.  This is a fun one because the Dinos do provide a bit of a tougher challenge than most of the undead foes will, so this is definitely worth a check if you're up for a challenge.

Street Fighter V Sagat



We pause our journey for now with one last mod, this time for Nemesis!  This mod's title spells it all out plainly, since it replaces Nemesis' phase 1 model with Classic Sagat from Street Fighter V.  It will definitely look off when Sagat starts summoning tentacles and using a rocket launcher, but if one pretends the rockets are Tiger Shots, it works.  Sagat's always been a relentless foe, and now he can elevate that potential by hunting down the last S.T.A.R.S. member in town!  There are a bunch of mods for Nemesis, almost as many as there are for Jill, and I plan on delving into more of them when I cover this topic again.

This is but a dip into the Olympic swimming pool that is RE3 mods, and we've only just begun to see the possibilities.  When we come back we'll focus on some character mods and really see what people have gotten into the game!

The Wonders of RomStation

Image
 Been a bit since my E3 article but we're back again with a topic I've been using to stream on Twitch!  Today, I'm going to talk about a little application called RomStation.  This isn't some fancy Playstationesque device, but rather a front to download games on for PC.  This includes games for almost all systems you can imagine too, from Gamecube to Saturn to even arcade.  Past just the regular games you can find on here are a special type of game that form the reason I wanted to talk about this- Romhacks! Romhacks are games that someone has messed with or changed in some minor or major way to change the experience for the player.  These can be things such as level design like in Kaizo Mario World  or just a simple character addition/ change like in Super Mario 3D World 64  or Goldeneye With Mario Characters .  These games can also change the story, move encounters around, and just be a completely new experience from the old one, so with tha...

The Art of Modded Speedrunning

Image
       Most speedrunning sites will tell you that modding is against the rules and disqualifies any official run you do.  One only has to take a look at Speedrun.com to discover that.  To be sure, there are mods out there that absolutely should be avoided for speedrunning- anything that changes the speed of the game or messes with the gameplay shouldn't really be in use because you'd be giving yourself an unfair advantage over other speedrunners who are getting times on a level playing ground.  This could include things like Smash Ultimate gameplay mods or difficulty adjusters/damage reduction for Dark Souls.  These do change things up and allow different experiences, but that experience also changes the core of the game to a degree and therefore would be and is something that disqualifies official speedruns (These rules even apply to things like Games Done Quick and other big events), though it makes very little sense to file cosmetic mods under ...

Dawn of War IV Coming Next Year!

Image
  Gamescom's Opening Night Live had a whole bunch of announcements to make, but there was definitely an unexpected few among them.  One of those few was the surprise announcement that. hot off the heels of Relic Entertainment releasing a remastered version of the original Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War  and all of it's expansions, We are in fact getting a new entry in the series after 9 years.  Almost a decade after the lackluster reception of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War III  seemed like it may have prematurely ended the series, Iron Harvest  developer KING Art Games has announced they are the developers of Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV .   KING Art Games has said that while they want to take good elements from both of the first two games, the original game is their "Guiding Star" in terms of how they want to approach this title.  Here's what we know about it so far: 4 unique factions at launch- Space Marines, Orks, Necrons, and the compl...
