Modder Keff0, who has recently uncovered a lot of unused content in Resident Evil 4 Remake and Resident Evil Requiem, continues to bring cut content back to life. This time, he restored several Separate Ways cutscenes that were planned during development but were later changed or completely cut from the final game. ✂️

🦋 A third Pesanta boss fight was cut from Resident Evil 4 Remake’s Separate Ways DLC. Modder Keff0 says the fight was supposed to happen in Chapter 5, in the castle’s outer courtyard after the garden. The opening cutscene is still in the game files and shows Pesanta stopping Ada at the north door before the fight starts. 👀 There’s more left from the fight in the files. Pesanta has data for three phases, changing at 70% and 30% health, as well as his stagger resistance for this part of the game. But the fight itself and its ending were cut. Keff0 recreated the fight and put it back into Chapter 5. The mod uses the original cutscene and phase data, while Keff0 recreated everything that was missing, including the fight itself, lighting and fog, blue fires around the garden, boss music, and an ending cutscene.

![🎬 [Spoilers] RESIDENT EVIL originally had a different ending before Zach Cregger restructured the finale into “the origin story of a monster.” “Thank God I shot for this as a contingency plan. It was like my plan B.” "This whole movie wasn't this guy who saves the world, it was the origin story of a monster."

🧟 Zach Cregger responds to fans who say he simply made his own movie and “slapped the Resident Evil name on it.” “If somebody is concerned that I made this as a Zach Cregger movie and just slapped Resident Evil on it retroactively, when they watch the movie, they will be thoroughly convinced that that is not the case.”

😭 Zach Cregger said the Leon S. Kennedy Ammo Store Easter egg is a lie. However, there’s one small nuance. The Leon S. Kennedy Ammo Store sign can be seen in an official clip from the movie released by Sony during State of Play. So there seems to be some confusion here. 🙂

🤕Have you ever wondered why Grace’s chest is bandaged in Resident Evil Requiem if Norman Cole only bit her on the shoulder? After the attack at the Wrenwood Hotel, Grace is taken to the Rhodes Hill Chronic Care Center. Some time later, she wakes up strapped to a tilted medical bed, hanging upside down, with her shoulder treated and bandaged. But if you look closely, the bandage also wraps around her chest. ❓Why? It might look like Grace suffered another injury or underwent some kind of procedure. But according to the Progress Notes file, no operation was performed on her. There’s actually a medical reason for this. For this type of shoulder injury, medical professionals use a "spica" bandage. It wraps around the shoulder and across the chest to keep the dressing firmly in place and limit movement of the injured area. 👌🏼And this fits perfectly with the story, since Grace wakes up in a hospital. But why is there blood on the bandage around her chest? Grace was hanging upside down after her wound had been treated. Blood from the shoulder could soak through and spread along the bandage. Being upside down also increases blood pressure in the upper body, which could make the wound bleed more. So Grace wasn’t injured in the chest. The bandage around her chest is simply part of how her shoulder was treated. A small detail, but another example of how much attention Capcom puts into things! 🫶

🐥The Cut Chapter 0 from Resident Evil 4 Remake is now playable as a fan mod. Chapter 0 was originally planned as a short prologue with Ashley, taking place at night before Leon arrives at the village. It was cut during development, but parts of the chapter remained in the game files and were restored by modder Keff0. 🔦Ashley starts alone in an area that is inaccessible in the final game. She comes across the cultists killing the woman from the game's opening cutscene, then runs through the village while Ganados patrol the area. Luis can also be seen being carried away by one of them. The chapter ends with Ashley being captured at the fort, followed by Chapter 1 with Leon. Mod available here:

🧟 Online co-op in the original Resident Evil is no longer just a dream. Modder Aydan Watkins Aydan is working on a very early proof of concept for online co-op following the recent release of the Resident Evil decompilation. 🕹️ One player acts as the host, while the other joins as the client. Both players can already connect and be rendered across different rooms, with movement, animations, and player names synchronized between clients. The game also updates correctly when someone disconnects and rejoins. It’s still far from finished, but the foundation is already working. If this keeps progressing, playing the original Resident Evil online with a friend could actually become a reality. 😌

😮Over 600 cut voice lines have been found in Resident Evil 4 Remake. Modder Keff0, who previously restored the game’s cut Chapter 0 and made it playable, has now uncovered 671 finished voice lines that were cut from Resident Evil 4 Remake. 🔎All of the lines can be found on the PS5 launch disc, while none of them are included in the PC version. The subtitles are also Capcom’s original text from the disc, not fan transcriptions. The lines include dialogue that was fully recorded during development but ultimately cut from the final game.

🔥A Resident Evil 3 Remake mod bringing back the original game is gaining attention — here’s what we learned. Resident Evil 3: Last Escape isn’t just another gameplay or difficulty mod. Its creator aims to transform Resident Evil 3 Remake into a much more faithful recreation of the original game. 👀The story behind the project is just as interesting. The creator isn’t a game developer, he’s a professional chef. Like many Resident Evil fans, he was disappointed by the remake’s short length and how much content from the 1999 original was left out. That disappointment inspired him to begin learning how to mod the game. He spent nearly a year and a half studying tutorials, documentation, and forum guides before finally starting work on the project. He understood that another Resident Evil 3 Remake was unlikely to happen within his lifetime, so instead of waiting for something that would probably never come, he decided to build his own vision. ❗️What makes Resident Evil 3: Last Escape stand out is the sheer scale of the project. The mod is expected to expand Resident Evil 3 Remake by more than 60%, largely through new playable locations. During development, the creator learned how to import virtually any location from any RE Engine game and make it fully functional with lighting, collision, doors, locks, items, resources, puzzles, enemies, and music. The project will also introduce new Nemesis encounters and boss fights, redesigned item placement and progression, brand-new puzzles and gameplay mechanics, and a reworked crafting system featuring multiple new gunpowder types. Everything has already been successfully implemented and confirmed to work reliably. 🧐He also learned how to create completely original locations that don’t exist in any RE Engine title. This will allow him to recreate several streets from the original Resident Evil 3 by transforming its classic pre-rendered backgrounds into fully explorable 3D environments. Everything described above has already been tested and confirmed to work. The long-term goal is to restore much of the original game's storyline through new cutscenes recreating events from Resident Evil 3 (1999). Confirmed additions include the fully playable Uptown, Clock Tower, Park, Cemetery, Dead Factory, and R.P.D., along with a working Ink Ribbon save system and other content cut from the remake. 👍One detail many fans will appreciate is that Resident Evil 3: Last Escape is planned to be released completely free of charge. The growing interest in the project once again shows how many fans remain dissatisfied with Resident Evil 3 Remake. Each new YouTube update draws thousands of views, while the comments are filled with fans supporting the creator and praising the project's vision. ❤️For many fans, it remains their favorite game in the series, and they continue to hope that one day it will receive the faithful, ambitious remake they believe it deserves. If Resident Evil 3 Remake were ever given a more faithful and ambitious reimagining on the level of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4, many players would likely be happy to buy it again. The next major development update is expected in about a week, with a new YouTube video showcasing the project's latest progress.

✍️ Resident Evil co-writer Shay Hatten says many of the movie’s Easter eggs were added during post-production for fans to find and “obsess over.” “But then also a lot of things were added later, just in the background to just give fans that much more to kind of grab onto and obsess over.” (📹 via: Deadline)

🎮 Resident Evil 4 Remake Gets a Co-op Mode Before Resident Evil 5 Remake. A modder known as claybtv has announced the launch of an open beta for a co-op mode in Resident Evil 4 Remake. The modification, called Multiplayer Mod, allows two players to experience the entire campaign together. According to the developer, the mod synchronizes enemies, story events, doors, switches, alarms, and many other gameplay elements between two separate game instances in real time. From a technical standpoint, it's a remarkable achievement. Resident Evil 4 Remake was originally designed as a single-player experience, meaning that creating stable synchronization between two players required overcoming numerous complex challenges at the engine level. The mod is currently in beta testing, and players may encounter performance issues, animation glitches, and other bugs. The developer is already working on fixes through ongoing updates. 🤔 Perhaps the most interesting part of this story isn't the mod itself, but the community's reaction to it. This is the first fully featured co-op project built for a Resident Evil title on the RE Engine, allowing players to experience nearly the entire campaign together from start to finish. In many ways, the project highlights the continued demand for cooperative gameplay within modern Resident Evil titles. The positive response it has received may be further evidence that there is still significant demand for cooperative experiences within the Resident Evil franchise.
