Resident Evil fans got their first peek at Tofu as he appears in the new Resident Evil 2 this week, thanks to the game’s “1-Shot Demo” and its exclusive trailer.
Unlocking Tofu’s scenario was for survival horror experts and served as a parody of sorts of Hunk’s scenario. Apocryphally, Tofu was based on a simple polygonal model that Capcom used to test Resident Evil 2’s collision detection. Tofu appeared in the original Resident Evil 2 in a scenario named “The Tofu Survivor.” It was a more challenging version of Hunk’s unlockable scenario, “The Fourth Survivor,” because Tofu is armed with nothing but a knife and a few herbs. The remake will also bring back two additional playable characters, Hunk and Tofu, the latter of whom has been impressively remade to be more photorealistically tofu-like than previously rendered.
