MODS, EMULATORS & FAN PROJECTS

You can now play as Street Fighter’s Akuma in Resident Evil 2
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/you-can-now-play-as-street-fighters-akuma-in-resident-evil-2/
Now here is something that will put a smile on all Resident Evil fans’ faces. Modder ‘Snipzu’ has released an amazing mod that lets you play the original Resident Evil 2 game as Akuma from Street Fighter.
What’s incredible here is that this isn’t just a character skin swap mod. Instead, Akuma has his iconic moves from the SF games. As such, you can kill zombies by punching and kicking them. Oh, and did I mention that you can also use Hadoukens and Shoryunkens? This is a dream come true for a lot of Capcom fans.
For those unaware, back in the 90s, EGM posted an April’s Fools joke, claiming that Akuma was actually playable in Resident Evil 2. As said, that was an April’s Fools joke. But here we are in 2024 with modders making that joke a reality. Man, that’s why we love PC modding.
Now the bad news is that this mod is only for the original Resident Evil 2 game. Thus, you can only use it with Resident Evil 2 Sourcenext PC Version, though it is compatible with the Classic Rebirth Mod. It should also be compatible with the Resident Evil Seamless HD Project.
It’s also worth noting that the mod has an alternative ending. To get that ending, you’ll have to defeat all guest stars that have been turned into zombies.
>> The article has a two minutes video of the mod.
