Resident Evil 7 is the only entry in the series by Capcom to feature first-person view, and with Resident Evil 2 Remake, the Japanese developer went back to a third person one. If you're wondering how would the new game play in first-person, you definitely must check out some brand new videos showcasing a work in progress mod.
The Resident Evil 2 Remake first person view mod is still in the works, and it's far from perfect, but it shows how the game can be played this way without any major issue. You can check out a couple of videos showcasing the mod right below.
On a related note, another Resident Evil 2 Remake camera mod is also in the works, aiming to bring back the fixed camera angle of the original. A few videos have also been released, and you can find them below.
The Resident Evil 2 Remake manages to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the original game, but it ultimately plays it safe.
Resident Evil 2 is a polished, respectful remake of a survival horror classic that probably would have benefitted from a slightly more daring approach. Hints of a braver revamp are sprinkled throughout, but it doesn’t take the risks necessary to join the canon of truly great video game remakes. Make no mistake though, if you loved the original Resident Evil 2, you’ll likely love the remake, and new players who can tolerate a few old-school quirks ought to have a gruesome good time as well.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is now available on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions.
