Thomas the Tank Engine is the upsetting ‘Resident Evil 2’ mod we heathens deserve

There’s a new Tyrant in town and his name is Thomas the Tank Engine. 

The latest and greatest in the seemingly inevitable line of Thomas the Tank Engine mods for the Resident Evil 2 remake has arrived — and while its existence isn’t surprising, its application couldn’t be more perfect. 

The collaborative mod, created by developers ZombieAli and DJ Pop, replaces the wildly terrifying Mr. X — an unkillable creature that chases you for portions of the game — with an equally horrifying and tyrant-sized Thomas the Tank Engine. 

Complete with the Thomas & Friends theme song and some exceptionally menacing choo-choos, Mr. Thomas can bust through walls, catch fire, and stalk Claire and Leon to his heart’s content, just like his bumpy, hat-wearing predecessor. Read more…

Resident Evil 2 is a perfect example of how to do a video game remake, taking an outdated yet beloved ‘90s game and rebuilding it into a modern horror masterpiece.

Every inch of the Resident Evil 2 remake is engrossing. It’s a masterclass in environmental design and atmosphere. It blends action, puzzles, and story into a well-balanced and fun concoction. All of that together makes RE2 an early game of the year contender for 2019. 

There’s just one thing I can’t get out of my head.

The Resident Evil 2 remake almost broke me.
