Instead of playing more Bioshock I figured I’d pay a long overdue visit to Killing Floor 2, where I decided to play a custom map I got off the workshop forever ago. I didn’t even remember it until the map loaded. Needless to say I must have downloaded it while having Resident Evil on the brain.
The map uses models and textures from Resident Evil 4. Felt quite nice to frag some zeds (zombies) in a fitting atmosphere. My character is now a level 5 berzerker. My friends are light years ahead of me in leveling… It doesn’t really bother me, there’s too many games that require leveling. I’d rather let it happen and not worry about it.
After a couple days of dabbling with console emulators I’ve decided to return to a console port… I will say that I like Resident Evil 4, but the controls take some getting used to. Moving the mouse doesn’t turn your character in any particular direction, you have to use WASD at all times to move a certain way… It took a couple deaths for me to really get used to moving around like that, you definitely don’t want to stand in one spot while zombies try to tear you apart with explosions and pitchforks.
The game centers around Leon Kennedy, he’s like Dante from Devil May Cry minus the personality, demon/angel powers and sharp objects… Actually he’s not like Dante at all, he just looks like a less albino version of him.
That’s the RE6 version of him, but my point still stands. He’s fabulous.
Leon is a government agent tasked with rescuing the US president’s daughter, and the path left him to a part of Spain that suffers from a plague of depressing sepia.
I haven’t found her yet, but I’ve found plenty of other interesting things. In the RE games it’s important to observe your surroundings for clues, you don’t want to miss out on anything stating the obvious!
I just made it passed the point where I met a mysterious fabulous Spanish dude named Luis Sera. He was bound in a closet, then we were bound together. The locals haven’t been friendly, but one thing is clear… They’re into bondage. We managed to escape a local that had an axe to grind with us. I’m now at the point where I met this charming fellow:
From what I can tell he’s the local drug dealer, but he’s out of the usual stuff and has weapons/weapon upgrades instead. Weird controls aside, I think I like this game. I’m glad I have this version and not the first release. I haven’t looked into it but have heard it was a terrible port, if it’s anything like the DMC3 port for PC I may have dodged a bullet.
