Resident Evil 3 and Shrek fans will be pleased to know that a new Nemesis mod recasts the horrific figure as a friendly swamp ogre. For those unfamiliar, Resident Evil 3 was originally released in 1999, for the PS1, and remade earlier this year for the PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
This third installment to the horror/survival franchise follows Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveira as they do their best to survive a zombie apocalypse. Taking place in the chaotic setting of Raccoon City, Jill encounters a large, human-like, bio-weapon called Nemesis, invented by The Umbrella Corporation. Barely escaping with her life, Jill must continue to evade Nemesis several times throughout the game, with no feasible way of killing the monster. There is a massive plot revolving around these events, but it's also lead to Nemesis being a popular target for modders due to his consistent presence.
Via BloodyDisgusting, modders have replaced Nemesis' character model with that of Shrek, the beloved ogre from the popular DreamWorks franchise. As seen in the YouTube video showing off the mod, Nemesis Shrek comes bursting into the scene, contrasting starkly with a horrified Jill Valentine. Hilarity ensues as Jill narrowly avoids devastating blows from the abomination, only for it to return again after escaping it's warpath.
Created by modder and Youtuber, MrMarco1003, this mod can be downloaded from Nexus Mods. MrMarco1003 has created several other mods for other games as well, not only for the Resident Evil franchise. Although this seems to be his most recent creation, the modder has put Crash Bandicoot into Kingdom Hearts, Cloud Strife into Grand Theft Auto, and Olaf from Disney's Frozen into Sonic Generations. All of these mods seem to be purely cosmetic, not altering the gameplay in any way, but it's no question that each bring a little more humor to the player's experience.
As time has gone on, and video games have become a billion dollar industry, the community has likewise evolved into a group of talented developers who want to bring interesting spins on their favorite properties. The Resident Evil 3 Nemesis Shrek mod is another example of how a fan base can continue to breathe life into a game well after its initial release, and the quality of the mod is indicative of just how far amateur content creation has come.
