Resident Evil 4 Mod Adds Classic Leon Look to Demo

gamerant.com:

Despite how modern the remake of Resident Evil 4 is, someone has decided to give protagonist Leon Kennedy a classic look that's more inline with an older entry in Capcom's iconic survival horror series. While some would argue that not every video game needs a remake or remaster, the current gaming climate is capable of revitalizing some beloved releases, giving them a new lease on life, and Resident Evil has been no exception. But before this modern take on the critically acclaimed fourth entry launches, there's the demo for fans to try out.

Since it released not long ago, modders have been tinkering with the Resident Evil 4 demo, extending the play time, making inaccessible areas available for exploration, or just straight up adding Shrek into the horror game. Leave it to the modding community to stretch as much as it can out of a release, even if it's a demonstration. Things don't end there either, as fans of the upcoming RE4 remake can now be taken back to the older days of the franchise.

Resident Evil Fan Creates Impressive Custom RE4-Themed Xbox Controller

Nexus Mods user TrieuPham has recently created a new look for Leon with a mod for the Resident Evil 4 demo that gives the legendary character his Raccoon Police Department uniform. Many will see it as a throwback to the rookie cop's first appearance way back when the second RE game came out in 1998. While the uniform has been lifted from the Resident Evil 2 remake, it still gives Leon that classic look that some older gamers associate with the protagonist. It also serves as a reminder that, as well as being an action star tasked with rescuing the President's daughter, Leon is first and foremost an officer of the law, and that's how many fans still remember him.
