I'm trying to find certain mods/modders of RE2 and I felt like this was the right place to ask this question. I'm hoping someone out there knows what I'm talking about.
Back in the good old days of YouTube when RE2 PC modding took off, people would upload their videos of their creations and it was all quite a spectacle to look at.
Some even took it upon themselves to start a project and completely mod RE2 into another game entirely.
I remember browsing through an RE2 modder's YouTube channel and they posted various different videos of their mods. They were interesting and very unique.
Some of them that I recall were little girl zombies who I think looked like "the grudge" or that one girl from FEAR, which scared the hell out of me. Another one that I remember vividly was Leon walking around in Silent Hill. I think the modder created the bathroom at the beginning of Silent Hill 2, and after that was a foggy area on a highway where a huge "Welcome to Silent Hill" sign was shown, and Leon slowly walked into the fog while the video ended with a "Coming Soon" type of thing.
The most memorable one was a mod of RE2 that took place in an alternate reality where all of the S.T.A.R.S. members, including Chris and Jill, were dead. The modder promoted this project by creating an animated CGI trailer that showed the face of a zombified Jill in her S.T.A.R.S. outfit, and it was incredibly detailed. There was snot dripping out of her nose and her eyes were glazed white. It was terrifying. I also remember seeing another video of this same project where they showcased the bus at the beginning of RE2 containing zombified versions of Outbreak characters in the pre-rendered background. I think they may have also added a file on the ground? I'm not sure.
That's basically all I can think of. I will say that all of these things that I've mentioned could either be by the same person, or may be unrelated and from different modders, but I know for a fact that the last one I mentioned was by the same guy.
Does anyone remember seeing these as well? Or have any idea who created these mods? I've tried looking everywhere on YouTube but it seems like they're all gone. It was at least more than several years ago.
I would do anything to see these videos again just for nostalgia's sake.
Edit: Holy moly.
Right after writing this post, I fired up RE: Mortal Night (a stand-alone RE2 mod), and lo-and-behold, at the very beginning there is a poster of that same exact mod I was asking about!
It’s called “Dark Biohazard,” and showed a render of Leon putting on the hood of his jacket. This was one of the same images I had seen back then too! Upon examining it, the text says “Those were good memories,” and boy do I agree. I managed to find the YouTube channel as well. I don’t know how I couldn’t before, but oh well!
So glad I was able to put this mystery to rest, coincidentally right after I asked.
Thanks y’all!
