Modder Looks to Implement Fixed-Camera Mod For ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake
Capcom’s remake of Resident Evil 2 is scary. Now, I’m not just talking about the various Mr. X memes that keep coming up. That’s just one part. The overall game is a frightfest, but also damn fun. Yet, despite all of that, some old-school fans pine for the return of the fixed camera angle, which no doubt made the original scary in a different way.
Capcom had tested the fixed camera when developing the game, but ultimately passed on it in favour of the over-the-shoulder view. Leave it up to modders to try implement it, such as the one being developed by Enveloping Sounds. The results are pretty impressive, but don’t get excited just yet, as creating a fixed camera angle mod for the whole game isn’t a slam dunk.
According to the modder, because of the game’s overall low light, and focus on the over-the-shoulder view, the environment was made for that view in mind. “The near pitch black lighting in certain areas of the police station was designed with the over-the-shoulder view and flashlight in mind. Much of the environmental detail simply isn’t visible [with fixed cameras], so you’d have to add tons of light sources around all the blacked-out areas.”
Then of course, you’d have to take into consideration that the control scheme will have to be reworked with an auto-aim, which again, is a result of Capcom’s chosen view. Still, it’s pretty cool to see it all in action.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
