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

We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.

A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.

Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.

Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… 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,” he continued. “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.”
