Co-op mod?
I can't belive nobody has made a co-op mod for this game, I have seen co-op mods for a few games, like Bully, Subnautica, and Skyrim, but I would think that this game would be the highest priority for a co-op mod since it's so popular.

Like, why doesn't a co-op mod exist yet? It's surely possible if it's possible for Skyrim.

Well how did Subnautica and Bully get co-op mods so fast?

And it could even be just a split-screen mod, I frankly don't care.

Well, RE4 is a pretty old game, it's literally just an upgraded port from the PS2/Gamecube version. For someone to make a CO-OP Mod for RE4, they'd have to basically remake almost the entire game. The only plausible thing I can think of is someone controlling either Ada or Ashley, but for Ada: It would break the game because she's not supposed to be with you at all. And for Ashley: The 2nd player would only be able to play about half the game anyway and would have to hide behind Player 1. It just wouldn't work.

What do you think would happen in your coop buddy's screen whenever you play inventory tetris? There must be plenty of reasons why coop in this game would require a massive rewriting of the game code.

Exactly, RE5 and above, they just made it a UI that popped up instead of a whole new title screen. Like I said earlier, it just wouldn't work.

There are still a bunch more problems than just that of course.

Who are "they", and how? Hypothetically, someone could as well make Leon grow a pair of wings and fly, but reality says otherwise. Not all games are so mod-friendly that allow modders to do whatever they want.

Actually flying already exists in RE4. Just look at Novistadors.

That's called an AI made by the DEVELOPERS THEMSELVES. You know how hard it would be for mod creators to make you CONTROL LEON while flying? Not to mention all the boundaries that would RESTRICT you from flying. Just stop commenting on it, RE4 is an old game, there will not be any "Leon Flying" or "Co-op" mods for RE4 unless people literally rewrite most if not all the code, and just drop it.

If it's so easy, why don't you learn to mod the game and release it yourself?

Did I say it was easy?

Nope.

I said it was possible.

How do you know though?

It's possible to make any mod for any game. Possible, not easy.

As someone who actually mods, I can tell you for sure that is genuinely a huge crock.
