Mr. X Becomes a Tiny Terror With This ‘Resident Evil 2’ Mod
Modders continue to pick on Mr. X in Resident Evil 2. We’ve now got a mod that shrinks him down, but still allows him to put the hurt on you.
Courtesy of Raz0r’s Ultimate Trainer, players are now able to mess around with a whole whack of things with the game. This includes changing enemy and player sizes.
Unfortunately for Mr. X, shrinking him down causes his collision to shrink, too. In other words, he’ll end up swinging his arms in the air in futility as he tries to down you.
Other thank messing with enemy sizes, the trainer allows you to do cool things such as changing the game’s speed, pausing the in-game timers, eliminate recoil and other things that while fun, probably aren’t the way RE2 was intended to be played.
Also, this might end up causing a few issues with achievements, not to mention that it will cause that particular save file to no longer be compatible with the game, should you disable the trainer.
In other words, play at your own risk.

Explore a Mysterious Island for Lost Riches in Co-Op Horror Adventure ‘Treasure Cove’ [Trailer]
Not to be confused with the 1992 educational sidescroller, Team5 has revealed the Steam page for its upcoming co-op title, Treasure Cove. Launching later this fall, this survival horror title sees you and your friends set out to explore a mysterious island in search of lost treasures. Of course, it’s never than simple, as exploring the island reveals more than you or your friends were expecting.
Details are still to come on the gameplay loop, but the basics for Treasure Cove have you and your squad navigating the island with a map and proximity voice chat in classic treasure-hunting style, with various gadgets to assist you in your search. Once you think you’ve found the spot, you start digging, and if you’ve read the map correctly, you’re rewarded with riches.
But as you might expect, digging up the treasure, extracting it and making it back to your boat isn’t so simple. Creatures are lurking in the darkness, and once they spot you, you’re on the run. Your only way of defense is to use your light, but even then, when you’re lugging around cursed treasure, you’re not safe for long. You and your team will need to keep quiet in order to avoid detection and survive.
If you do make it out alive, you can sell your treasures and buy better equipment for the next hunt.
Currently, the devteam is planning to have a playtest in the future, for which you can head over to the official site to sign up for the mailing list for when it arrives.
