YouTuber Shows off the ‘Resident Evil 4’ Remake Using a Fixed Camera [Video]
Okay, so Resident Evil 4 broke away from the series’ use of fixed camera angles, which helped to reinvent the series. But what if you brought the fixed camera back? YouTuber Cycu1 decided to try just that with the Resident Evil 4 remake demo, and has now replicated the process in the final game.
Reported by DSOGaming, Cycu1’s camera tweak isn’t a mod that’s freely available at the present time. Rather, it’s just a video demonstrating the “What if?” scenario. Cycu1 (like many fans) is hoping that someone will come along and actually create an official mod for the masses.
Obviously, locking the camera adds a different perspective to Resident Evil 4, but also shifts the tone (as you would expect). This is also a case where if a mod were created, there would have to be a choice by the modder where the camera would be locked to achieve the intended look/feel.
There’s also the issue of the aiming reticle still relying on the over-the-shoulder camera, as well as certain segments of the game that would be complicated by the use of the fixed camera (such as surviving the waves of villagers before the bell is rung), but hey, that’s the reason for testing.
Resident Evil 4 is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. The beloved “The Mercenaries” mode was recently added to the game as free DLC.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
