A hardcore fan of Capcom's Resident Evil 4 has recently shared the very impressive animated video of the horror survival title that they created using LEGO bricks. Featuring iconic scenes from Resident Evil 4, this fan's animation is one of the many original works that has been popping up online to celebrate the upcoming launch of the remake.
In the past few months, fans have seen Capcom building up hype and excitement for the Resident Evil 4 remake. A demo for the remake was recently released, and fans continue to scour the internet for every piece of information they can find about the upcoming game. This includes fan theories, in-game screenshots, as well as leaks and rumors about Resident Evil 4 characters. With so many in the gaming community anticipating the release of the remake, it is no wonder that many fans have also unleashed their creative sides, making original content for the appreciation of their fellow community members.
On YouTube, content creator Cara Aleatorio uploaded an almost four-minute-long video featuring the original opening scene of Resident Evil 4. The animation starts from when Resident Evil's Leon Kennedy gets dropped off into the rural Spanish village in his search for Ashley Graham. In the video, the animator was able to recreate many of the game's details using different kinds of LEGO bricks. This includes using LEGO minifigs for the characters and combined LEGO bricks for the broken-down buildings and plants. What's more, Aleatorio also included the dense fog in the animation, adding to the creepy feel of the video.
Replies in the YouTube comment section showed fellow fans' amazement at the animation, especially since Aleatorio seemed to have recreated many of the game's features so accurately. Some pointed out that the player experience was also replicated well, particularly the part where Leon can be seen shooting birds at the very beginning of Resident Evil 4. According to the video's description box, they had used the 3D program Blender to create the entire video. They also used around 3,000 images to make the seamless animation, taking about 1–2 months to complete the project.
With the Resident Evil 4 Remake launch happening in a few week's time, fans are likely happy to see this kind of quality content from the fan base. Hopefully Aleatorio continues their work on the Resident Evil series, as many fans would probably be interested to see more of their favorite survivor horror title in LEGO form.
Resident Evil 4 Remake is set to release on March 24, 2023, for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
