Zombie Mods

Post by Lord Poe »

What's with all this "Resident Evil" wanking? Currently, there's about two GTA:San Andreas TC mods being worked on that has to do with a zombie outbreak. Both of these mods are porting RE models and textures overs, weapons, etc., and essentially trying to turn GTA:SA into a Resident Evil game. Why?

If the interest is having a zombie outbreak, why ape Resident Evil? For most horror fans, Resident Evil isn't even mentioned in conversation when talking zombie flicks.

Like you said yourself, the textures and models have already been made and just need to be ported over. And while RE may not be something that horror movie fans think of, it has become the de facto standard when it comes to horror games.

Yeah, the Resident Evil movies and the Resident Evil games are two totally different kettle of fish.

Well for my personal opinion sometimes (especially in co-op) it's fun to run and gun as opposed to being holled up and using tactics all the time. Zombie/zerg games give you the option of just blasting away and watching the bodies pile up as you run out of ammo.

I am the hammer, I am the right hand of my Lord. The instrument of His will and the gauntlet about His fist. The tip of His spear, the edge of His sword. I am His wrath just as he is my shield. I am the bane of His foes and the woe of the treacherous. I am the end.

Yeah, no offense Poe, but while Resident Evil might not exactly be big in the movie world, in the gaming world, it's basically the most notable example of the survival horror genre this side of Alone in the Dark.

Indeed the movies usually have a naked Milla which makes it all worth the time.
