Raccoon City recreated in Left 4 Dead, full RE3 campaign on the way

by Richard Mitchell { Jun 19th 2009 at 12:45PM }

Well, that didn't take long. The Left 4 Dead authoring tools have been available to the public for just over a month and an aspiring game creator known as Outatime is already injecting some Resident Evil into Valve's zombie kill-a-thon. Specifically, Outatime is creating an entire campaign based on Resdent Evil 3. One map of the campaign has already been released, Resident Evil's legendary locale, Raccoon City. The map includes lots of twists and turns and a super spiffy rendition of the Raccoon City Police Department.

Those courageous enough to brave the map in its current beta status -- expect some frame rate issues -- can download it right here. You can also keep track of the campaign's progress on its development website. Check out a video walkthrough of the map after the break.

gordo @ Jun 19th 2009 2:28PM

No, it was JAWESOME!!! Street Sharks!

Dance Mofo @ Jun 19th 2009 2:47PM

what happened to my avatar?

THE WICKER MAN (BWF) (GT: Dalek Prime) @ Jun 19th 2009 2:56PM

"Get Jawesome!!!" OMG COOLEST THING EVAR!!!!

Cr4sh Dummy @ Jun 19th 2009 7:53PM

I concur.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 19th 2009 12:49PM

Curse my shitty computer! Why can't stuff like this be possible on the PS3/360?

I want to play that! Now!

dabamf @ Jun 19th 2009 12:56PM

Well, L4D is not on the PS3, that's one reason. Aside from that...

UT3 has proven that user-generated content can be transferred to the PS3. I have UT3 for PC, but just about every mod that I've downloaded has had a PS3 version as well.

NaeemTHM @ Jun 19th 2009 12:58PM

Copyright infringements.

Just look at Little Big Planet. I feel that game is SOOOO gimped because you're not allowed to make tributes. What a bunch of horse shit.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 19th 2009 12:59PM

I know L4D isn't available for PS3, but I was speaking more in terms of user generated content as a whole. Aside from UT3 (which I'm sorry, I'm not a fan of) and LBP, there really isn't a whole lot out there.

Chad Vanderbilt (Moptimus in Disguise) @ Jun 19th 2009 1:01PM

because Microsoft doesn't want there console flooded with a bunch of dicks.

Which makes you wonder why they decided to make Xbox Live....

Storm Eagle @ Jun 19th 2009 1:03PM

It's an evil plot comprising of shouting 13 year olds taking over the world. That's why.

Geist @ Jun 19th 2009 1:14PM

Naeem what the heck are you talking about? That might have happened before, but the devs have said it won't happen again. There are Silent Hill, Dead Space, Mario, etc 'tributes' all over the place. You should play it and form your own opinion instead of listening to others.

Sly [PSN SniperChameleon] @ Jun 19th 2009 2:11PM

yeah, naeem, there are a ton of tribute levels. like that dead space one by darknessbear. that's one of the highest rated levels in LBP. it deserves it too.

Duke @ Jun 19th 2009 2:26PM

They're right, the tributes are there. I have played Mario ones and the Dead Space ones. A few more too, that I just can't recall right now.

xGeneral DEATHx @ Jun 19th 2009 3:28PM

I'd love to have the PC version just for this.

eNrique @ Jun 19th 2009 4:09PM

"Just look at Little Big Planet. I feel that game is SOOOO gimped because you're not allowed to make tributes. What a bunch of horse shit."
naeem, that's bullshit
You clearly haven't played LittleBigPlanet.

Tim @ Jun 19th 2009 12:51PM

Nemesis seems to be missing, along with its tentacle rape recipient, Brad Vickers.

MowDownJoe @ Jun 19th 2009 12:53PM

They'll reskin the smoker for that.

Tim @ Jun 21st 2009 8:24PM

Needs more tentacles!

capt_carl @ Jun 19th 2009 12:55PM

That is very awesome. I'll have to keep my eye on it.

Gibbeynater @ Jun 19th 2009 12:58PM

Cease and desist letter from Capcom in 5... 4...

I kid, this looks awesome, and may just get me to reinstall L4D

Ian @ Jun 19th 2009 1:01PM

These things never get fully finished because of legal reasons.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 19th 2009 1:02PM

See, unless your UGC is trashing a brand or property I think the big companies need to leave these people alone. This guy is obviously a fan of the RE series and is familiar enough to recreate an iconic vista from one of the games. So what's the big deal anyway?

Besides, at least you can interact with THIS environment.....

BPMOmega [GT,Steam] @ Jun 20th 2009 11:54PM

Capcom's one of the few companies that's really cool about fanprojects. You know, as long as they're not for profit.

Triscuit @ Jun 19th 2009 1:00PM

This should be called: "Resident Evil 3: You Can Actually Move How You Want To Now"

Chris Are @ Jun 19th 2009 1:29PM

"Unfortunately, there aren't any zombies yet so it's kind of boring..."

Duke @ Jun 19th 2009 2:27PM

Chris, he was doing a map walkthrough to show the builds, so the zombies were not activated. He wasn't "playing" the map.

Chris Are @ Jun 19th 2009 5:17PM

I know, I was just saying this specific demo was kind of boring. Mainly because I kept hearing these zombie sounds tied in w/ the music. Kind of a tease. It's very impressive though.

Jack Hollow @ Jun 19th 2009 1:01PM

Swank. How come we can't receive user created content like this on the 360? Not this specific content, it looks good and fun, but copyright issues. But isn't possible to release some authoring tools for the 360 community? I'd like to be able to make some levels for me and my friends to play some Left 4 Dead on.

Maybe I can make a Left 4 Dead stage on LittleBigPlanet.

Guess_Who @ Jun 19th 2009 1:05PM

Hammer (the Source engine map designer) is a big enough pain to use on PC, trying to make it usable on a console would be worse than torture.

Ihavepants @ Jun 19th 2009 1:09PM

I actually really like Hammer as far as editors go, a lot more then UnrealEd at least.

Mike @ Jun 21st 2009 1:16AM

Microsoft is a Prude, you will never get to stick your dirty fingers in their box.

Preston @ Jun 19th 2009 1:03PM

Damn. This makes me actually want to buy L4D now.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 19th 2009 1:04PM

THIS does? Man, you need to get out more. Don't let the demo fool you, L4D is great fun.

uncle jesse @ Jun 19th 2009 1:09PM

Then buy it already!

Gibbeynater @ Jun 19th 2009 1:11PM

Maybe you'll get a free copy if you get L4D2.

Vidikron @ Jun 19th 2009 1:11PM

"Don't let the demo fool you, L4D is great fun."

The demo was pretty much how the whole game plays.

Preston @ Jun 19th 2009 1:18PM

I've played the full version of L4D, but the game just wasn't that interesting. Mods like this and a sale might do the trick though.

Storm Eagle @ Jun 19th 2009 1:18PM

@Vidikron I disagree. It wasn't until I got to experience the later levels and especially being able to play as the special infected that I really got into the game. Other wise it's just head for the exit and keep pulling the right trigger. The demo, for me, made the game seem real one dimensional.
