A Hidden Code Allows First-Person Gameplay in ‘The Evil Within 2’

Published

on

The Evil Within 2 has already been out for two weeks, and has received pretty good reviews. Our own Jimmy Champane feels the game is right up there with Capcom’s Resident Evil VII as the best horror game this year. There is, however, one thing separating the two games that truly gives the suspense and the horror an extra kick: first-person mode. RE7 has it, while The Evil Within 2 doesn’t. Well, initially, at least.

The Evil Within 2 actually has full support for first-person gameplay for a handful of moments, but the game is still played via over-the-shoulder view. However, as mentioned by Jimmy, a Reddit user discovered that on the PC, you can enter a console command that allows you to enable first person mode from the get-go. So, you end up with having the view for shooting as well as for cover.

To enable the “mode”, do the following:

  1. Right click The Evil Within 2 on Steam
  2. Click Properties
  3. Set Launch Options
  4. Add “+com_allowconsole 1” and press OK.
  5. Once in the game proper press Insert
  6. Write “pl_FPS 1”
  7. Press Enter and enjoy

The best part is that enabling the mode won’t disable achievements, so you’re good to go on that front. If, for whatever reason, you want to switch back to the over-the-shoulder view, you just enter the code again but replace the “1” with a “0”.

The Evil Within 2 is currently out now on PC, XBox One and PlayStation 4.

Clive Barker Making Final Convention Appearances to Focus Entirely on Writing; Here’s What’s Coming [Exclusive]

Clive Barker

Horror legend Clive Barker brings Bloody Disgusting some good news and some bad news this morning. The bad news? His days of appearing at horror conventions are coming to an end. The good news? He’s diving headfirst into MORE WRITING in the coming months and years!

Here’s the official statement from Clive Barker himself…


Clive Barker days of the dead

My dear friends,

For the last almost forty years, I’ve been visiting conventions in cities in Europe and America to talk with my supporters, signing books, movie posters, Pinhead (A.K.A. The Hell Priest) models, and countless precious keepsakes which you’ve brought for me to sign. The most precious? The arms, legs, and other body parts, that brave souls have asked me to sign to later be tattooed over. What an honour!

However, it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing. Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet. So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to. I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.

And if you don’t see me at conventions, you’ll keep seeing new Clive Barker books being published, as well as some movie and television adaptations.

I feel strangely emotional writing these words, but I’ve got an enormous amount of work to do. So, if you’ve noticed I’m less public than I’ve been over the last forty years, please know I’ll be there in every new book I publish, painting I exhibit, or film I produce.

My love to you. I hope to see you over the next year.

Clive.
