Resident Evil 4 Remake Mod Removes Yellow Paint For "Immersion"
Despite Resident Evil 4 Remake being celebrated by almost everyone, it has still managed to create a little discourse. Some of you have taken issue with Capcom signposting barrels and boxes containing loot to be found using yellow paint. Well, there's now a mod for that. One that rids Resident Evil 4 of all its yellow paint, its creator claiming that it makes the remake more immersive.
Created by BonusJZ, and available through Nexus Mods, with the mod applied, you won't find a single spot of yellow paint throughout the entire game. There's an option to add blood splatters and insignias instead, so details more in keeping with the game's scenery. However, as highlighted by GamesRadar's Austin Wood, users of the mod desperate to feel as one with the remake's world might regret it.
