This is very cool i wish capcom had implemented this with the remake. Sadly i don't feel fixed cameras alone would fix the problems with re3 remake. Capcom really dropped the ball with that game which saddened my heart cause re3 1999 was my favorite re title of the fixed camera era. Great job as always mayo🙂👍

It's easy to talk about how triple A games have become homogenous, but to actually SEE it like this is a bit of a game changer. Most games you only really get creative cameras during cinematic moments, and even that is sometimes avoided for 'immersion'. I hope this mod gets more attention and inspires people to be more creative and not just default to the standard camera control.

It IS outdated. Most people tend to agree with something because it's true. You are in the minority for a reason. Tormented soul hasn't had 5 other games with the exact same camera style and also has nothing in relation to RE besides that, so not sure what that reference was for or how that's in any way ironic all things considered.

@@CommanderRedEXE Ad hominem. I also have yet to see you state anything legitimately backing your claim. I atleast mentioned the simple concept of majority rule, which seems to have gone over your head. It isn't a "highly vocal minority", sheesh, is that how you deflect claims that can be easily proven by simple statistical verification? It's heard more because people agree with it more, simple as that. That statement is very telling of the mindset you hold when it comes to engaging in a legitimate argument. You're referring to a game that was advertised in specification to, and drew in, nostalgia dwellers like you to that good old camera style but it's a gimmick that won't last and never does. Far too limiting in scale, not sufficient when it comes to providing that feeling you get when something's chasing you (especially since you can see it the entire time), it starves creativity since it limits you to a specific angular box that needs to then be worked around and if anything goes wrong you need to then reconstruct the entirety of your level based on the initial angle that didn't work out, etc etc. There are pages worth of empirical facts and knowledge that describe why it's not only counter efficient, but frankly, unneeded, when it comes to making a game of high quality. Get with the times, old man.

If over the shoulder is executed correctly, this is the effect that's created. A tight immersive experience that deepens player and game connectivity. Done poorly however and you are left with a camera so clunky, you'd wish you can just see where you're aiming at (i.e Evil Within 1)

Agreed and with RE 4 remake being so successfull thank goodness we dont have to worry about fixed camera angles ever coming back in RE. Man I'm a re fan since the original ps1 days but ever since I played RE4 around 2005 it changed everything. I always imagine RE games being over the shoulder even dino crisis, haunting ground, kuon, rule of rose and other horror games being over the shoulder. Thank goodness capcom is remaking games and giving it a modern over the shoulder style gameplay.

@Low_Fidelity_3D Ай бұрын

I think that's the point. Fixed camera perspectives offer a more cinematic experience in all aspects, including the disconnection between the player and the main character, while a third/first person camera really puts you in their shoes, offering a more immersive experience. It just sorta depends on whether you prefer cinematics or immersion in your games, I guess. Fixed cam being best for the former, first person being the best for the latter, and third person being a sort of middle ground for those who want a mix of both. Me personally, I prefer first person in my games, maybe that's why I never got too into the RE titles until biohazard. I can assume those who long for fixed cam feel the same way that I do about fromsoftware moving from making first-person dungeon crawlers to third-person dungeon crawlers.

Even Mayo, a fixed camera purist, was like “this doesn’t work as a main way to play the game.” Capcom designed RE2R around third person, and they would honestly need to design it from scratch RE1 Remake style for it to totally work. A modder who knows the game inside out can bring back the feel for awhile. But camera systems are more delicate consideration than some people think. I’m just mentally reviewing RE2 & 3 and thinking (Yeah, that section would need to be reworked).

Very cool mod although I do prefer the over the shoulder camera. There are pros and cons to each style but the biggest thing for me that swings very strongly into the over the shoulder camp is how it benefits combat. Precision aiming to stun and slow down targets while you go for the kill is so much more interesting than having the game auto aim for you. The fixed camera style makes it feel like a resource check as opposed to the over the shoulder that makes it feel like a resource AND skill check. Taking out legs to slow enemies down or aiming for the head in the hopes of a critical adds so much more depth than just auto aiming. With that being said I do love the cinematic feel of fixed camera. In my ideal world these games would give an option for both.

I mainly noticed that when playing my used copy of the RE3 Remake on Inferno difficulty. During that segment with the giant rolling toy head, I kept dying whenever I tried to simply turn the control stick in the other direction because of that animation you mentioned. It was only after I tried using the conventional 180-degree turn, that Jill was able to turn around and run fast enough to escape the rolling toy head.

@@markcobuzzi826 yeah that's a way to turn around quickly. But moving side to side (left to right) is such a pain as there's no 90° turn button (tho there's a trick with re2 and 3 remake to do it by aiming and pressing left or right). Good thing the first person games don't have those weird quirks. The first thing speedrunners learn when playing RE2 and 3 remake is the movement because it's super easy to mess up movement by accidentally pressing the opposite direction.

A hybrid system would've worked better. In situations not conducive to fixed camera (such as boss encountered and maze like areas), the camera would auto snap back to 3rd person. Then when out of harm's way, snap back to fixed camera. Seems like a fair compromise but maybe just me.

@starrythestar 3 ай бұрын

No it’s not just you but, I do think that RE2 Remake is supposed to be a game any gamer can enjoy. A fixed camera angle is fine depending on how it is used. The reason they removed the limited saves in the series was so that anyone could play when they had the time. I think limited saves can be scary but not everyone has time to play video games. If they had limited saves in every game, the series would not be as popular. It is still a hard game but anyone can play and beat it and have fun. The fixed camera angle is great and personally I like it but, not everyone else thinks so. If you don’t like the game it should be your problem as a player because, they want anyone the be able to master at least the basic controls.

The only reason 3rd person is necessary is because the game has been designed to play like that (which explains the floaty movement and other stuff) If the game had been built with fixed cameras in mind, the boss fights and other fights would've been aproprietedly designed for the camera and hybridization wouldn't be needed

@@starrythestarI understand your point, but I personally disagree. I remember people from outside the RE community saying that Resident Evil could never go back to its survival horror roots because it was supposedly outdated and thus gamers wouldn't like it. But then the RE2 Remake had exactly that and people loved it Now on a very different game franchise, I also remember people from outside the Sonic community saying that modern Sonic games could never go back to having a 2D focus with pixelated style because, once again, it was supposedly outdated. But then Sonic Mania was released and it may be one of the best Sonic games to come out in recent years Basically, even though many people didn't play RE2 Remake cuz it was survival horror and many others didn't play Sonic Mania cuz it was 2D and pixelated, a lot of other people decided to play those games precisely because those elements helped the games feel fresh and unique from others (and also because they were well made of course) So I genuinely believe if Capcom had given the RE2 Remake a fixed camera (and implemented it well), the game would appeal to about the same number of gamers. Sure some would be turned down by the fixed camera, but many others would like to play it just to experience a game from a perspective they had never seen before

If I could ever thing of some adjustments, it would be this: -Mod the playable character in a way to make him NOT stop when running into a wall or something. Keep him in the running animation. That way, there will not be a lot of clutter when running into an object. -Make the normal moment to moment zombies walk only. Even on Hardcore. Perhapse... increase their numbers? Whatever works. Them running so fast is not good here. -If possible, a mod that generally slows down the enemies would be good. Atleast the grunts, like Mr. X, Lickers, and generally bosses. I was disappointed that none of you guys used the OG Leon model with this camera angle :D I really see a whole lot of potential for this! RE2 holds a special place in my heart.

@dextercarrie8131 3 ай бұрын

I don’t think people who didn’t grow up playing the original game will understand, but the fixed camera made it scary and awkward to control, see, navigate to lead to the intensity of the game play + horror, plus we did it with old school PS1 graphics and smaller (non-HD) tvs. It was an era of games unlike anything else before as everything feels the same with the over the shoulder mode. I don’t hate that either, but this adds a layer of the style of the RE games.

@danielgeronimo5538 3 ай бұрын

I was expecting them to honestly add the limping mechanic from 2 back. It wasn't just "hard to control", but it adds more incentive to not get hit and navigational focus because there's risks involved if you keep taking damage. Aside from some animation details, it just doesn't seem to happen in the remake. Precision aiming added to combat is one of the best parts of the remake. But I wish it also retained some of the survival mechanics.

I sorta feel like I’m one of few people who actually looked at everything in my very first play through of the remakes for RE2-RE4. And by looked at everything, I mean I literally looked at the ground/floor, the walls, and everything else that had details in it. To everyone enjoying this mod, glad you’re enjoying it. I cannot as I only have this game on PS4, and personally I can only tolerate fixed camera angles to a point. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with preferring either style over the other to be honest.

The remake was even originally going to let you pick one or the other, but the director dropped fixed camera solely because he hates fixed camera. Said so himself in an interview. He's also why they basically cut out all the unique Claire puzzles entirely and had both solve the exact same puzzles just with minor changes.

After nine years, I finally completed Resident Evil Remake and then I went to the chronological order available on Xbox. After I beat Resident Evil 0, I was somewhat said that Resident Evil 2 Remake was only third person. Two games later it was a little difficult to re-acclimate to fixed camera angles on Code Veronica X, especially since it is more dated than Remake and 0. I am currently on Revelations and I am slowly down for the moment since I played each game back to back. I hope EVERY currently unavailable Resident Evil game gets ported to current generations in one or multiple collections in the near future. I also hope the Resident Evil Remake/0 engine receive full mod tools so fan can recreate the classic games in that style. Maybe even mod tools for RE engine Resident Evil games once Capcom completely transitions to their next RE engine.

One thing I always see when people are upset about over-the-shoulder and wanting fixed camera angles is toxicity when doing so. It reminds me of Tomb Raider (OG) Vs Tomb Raider Reboot. There’s room for both and both have their benefits. I get you want fixed cameras, but not everyone shares that opinion and they don’t have to. Every time there is a argument on this it’s that Fixed is superior which feels snobbish. I played Re7 as my “first” resident evil game. (Re4 was my first introduction, but modern console controllers never clicked. Did go back to it after I got it on GameCube and it was 100% better.) I however after watching I see the appeal as I finally found someone who rationally, and didn’t bash over the shoulder gameplay, explained the mentality on why people feel this way. I tried playing Re1 HD on Xbox, but couldn’t get into it. I recently got a copy for game cube and will be giving it another go. I feel that there is room for both and we don’t need to be so hostile. Something I get annoyed with is wanting a Re1 Remake with the gameplay of Re2 Remake. It’s not getting rid of Re1 HD. I just want a updated, “reimagined” entry to go with Re2,3, and 4 remake. It feels off to remake all of these games and not have a Re1 Remake. I guess that’s it. Thanks for reading my thoughts/venting on this topic. Fingers crossed that I can finally get Fixed Camera to click with my brain lol.

@deus_nsf 3 ай бұрын

Looking at this I'd say a mix of purely static and follow up camera angles with over the shoulder aiming would be the best :) It's really great to see experimentation again. Maybe an aiming system ala Fallout New Vegas but in real time could work for fixed/follow camera, where you would change parts you aim for with the d-pad ;) with clear highlight of the body part and chances of hitting/crit being either displayed or hidden :) And with hit (not crit) chance based on body part + distance, it would create a risk/reward system when you're constantly finding the right spot between being too close but having great accuracy, and being far away/safer but low accuracy. It would be a different way to approach skill, with a game design emphasizing positionning and ressource management. Spread the idea if you like it :p

This is actually very impressive. Back in the day I was cynical of fixed camera angles because it seemed like at the time RE fans who wanted them back were just asking for them back for the sake of nostalgia, especially with the reception they had towards RE7 for going first person which I loved (I don't think I would've loved RE7 if it wasn't first person) and calling people who didn't like them not true RE fans, with even dumb claims like it's an Outlast/PT clone which did not make sense to me. It wasn't until I saw Nerrel's RE2 video that I finally understood the artistic uniqueness, feel, and even game design that a fixed camera angle can bring, not even playing classic RE myself made me understand it as well. Still, a lot of fixed camera mods I saw for these new RE games didn't take into account the aiming which was entirely designed for OTS or even FPS, but this one actually returns the snap-aiming feature from the original games.

Okay the option to shift from fixed camera to the over the shoulder camera when aiming is actually brilliant as another horror game, Cold Fear did the exact same thing which made the game play feels unique. I am definitely gonna pick that setting to keep the balance in check. Fixed Camera for nostalgia, immersion and atmosphere while Over the shoulder for combat. Plus I found moving Camera is special to Silent Hill games. Though i am not sure how Capcom would take this, Considering how hard they are against Modding to a point they add DRMs to older capcom titles,including RE games which made modding hard to impossible.I feel they'll probably won't be too complimented by this.
