An Eva Mod, at last.
By The Eva Monkey on Saturday, June 4th, 2005
Over the last couple of years, I’ve seen a number of groups state their intention to create an Evangelion mod for a PC FPS. Most notably EvaMod and Evarena. It’s good to see that Evarena finally succeeded in getting their project to demo phase, and it looks pretty good. Good enough that I’m dissapointed that my computer can’t handle Unreal Tournament 2004. I read comments on EvaMod’s forums that were less than encouraging. I don’t want to take them at face value, as they are a different team working on a different mod for a different game. However, members of EvaMod spoke quite negatively of Evarena which, by all indications on their website, has been a huge success.
Evarena has been a success thus far, and illustrates an interest in Evangelion games. I can only hope that this is the beginning of a trend, not simply the only ones who were able to pull through and deliver.
If you’re a UT2K4 player, download the demo and give it a whirl, and send me your thoughts on the game. If you’re not able to play the game, take a look at this game play video. It should give you an idea of what the game has to offer.
