This mod is a remake of the 2000 "classic": Resident Evil Survivor. It aims to stay true to the source while adding some fun twists along the way.
I've never played Resident Evil Survivor, but this mod (remake/HL2 mix) seems the ultimate way to play it. The gameplay, level design and atmosphere are very good.
I really like the shortage of ammo. My playthrough was on hard difficulty and my strategy was to avoid most of the enemies, where possibe. So by the time of the final fight I have accumulated a lot of ammo (actually almost to the max) and also used a lot :D It was very hard by the way, because of the slower movement speed than that in the vanilla HL2. So I wonder what could have happened, if I didn't had all the shotgun and magnum ammo.
PS: Don't forget to save the game where there are two alternative path choices - to experience both.
PS 2: I really wonder how this mod is not so well known!
Good mod
not bad
Good short mappack with some kind of puzzles.
The only con is poor ending.
Everything about it is fantastic and I ask that you for the love of god play it, somehow turned an action packed FPS into survival horror at its core while remixing things subtly.
Try it ! It's a really good campaign, you can feel the Resident Evil inspiration. You won't have much ammunition, you'll have to look for keys, access cards, etc... The whole thing is really well done, I can only recommend it to you
As of June 30th, 2021, this mod is so far in a really good place! It really captures the survival horror element of resident evil in terms of gameplay, while most/all of the assets being mainly from vanilla HL2.
That being stated, plus since most of it was made in vanilla hl2, most of the elements you'd see in resident evil like an inventory management UI and other design factors doesn't make this a complete remake, but it still holds up in terms of things like backtracking, puzzle solving and item collecting.
If this had a full team creating custom assets, models, viewmodels and gameplay changes, I'd see a great remake in the works. I'd love to see more of this turn out well!
