When it comes to theResident Evilgames, some fans in the modding community like to up the challenge a bit. Recently, one modder decided toput an emphasis on survival by makingRE2a lot more difficult. Then there are other fans who perhaps want to shake things up a bit by taking aspects from one game, and porting them into another, often with amusing results. That’s exactly what one user did recently when they took one ofResident Evil 2’s most recognizable characters and gave him a bit of a facelift.
Uploading the file to theResident Evil 2section on the Nexus Mods website, user PlayStar201 felt things needed to a bit weirder in Raccoon City, so decided to swap out Leon Kennedy for the Nemesis model. Replacing Leon’s head with the Tyrant’s, as well as swapping out the former’s jacket attire for the latter’s garbs, the game seemingly continues to play as normal only with Nemesis instead of the good cop. Given that this is just a model swap, it likely means that the now-normal sized Nemesis will have Leon’s voice, which is bound to make for a hilarious experience.

Even thoughLeon Kennedy is one of the most popularResident Evilcharacters, PlayStar201 felt it was time to swap him out and give Nemesis the chance to do some good in the city instead. The mod description says this is every fan’s chance to play as the friendly Tyrant, and they even suggested that, to add some more humor to the situation, people should download a mod which replaces Claire with Jill. By doing so, players would basically be transforming the game into a kind ofResident Evil 3/Resident Evil 2hybrid, with the characters from one, entering the world of the other.
This is also not the first time PlayStar201 has done something like this. Earlier today, a similar add-on appeared on Nexus Mods, whichswaps Carlos out for Nemesis in theRE3remake. It seems as though the modder is keen for the beast to portray his good side rather than fighting the game’s protagonists.
Given thatResident Evil 2: Remakecan take players anywhere from 8.5 to more than 30 hoursto complete, it means players can potentially be spending a lot of time interacting with and helping out Nemesis in Claire’s campaign, or actually playing as him in Leon’s. It would be interesting to see what other bad guys PlayStar201, or anyone from the modding community, can transform into goodies.
Resident Evil 2 Remakeis now available for the PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
