One of many few issues that is ever tempted me to get a VR headset is the thought of getting an previous favourite reworked by the tech—tasks just like the VR variations of the O.G. Resident Evil 4 or its latest remake. I nonetheless haven’t got a headset, however modder elsuperaguas’ first particular person venture for the RE4 Remake (as reported by DSOGaming) seems to supply a equally immersive transformation with no VR required.
This video by YouTube channel Residence of Evil provides you a great impression of the way it works in motion. The mod shifts the digital camera to the primary particular person, however in any other case leaves Leon’s physique mannequin and animations intact, resulting in a slower-paced form of FPS with an actual grounding on this planet—fairly just like RE7 and Village’s gameplay, all issues thought of. I may see the diminished situational consciousness making the sport way more annoying and tough, however is not that a part of the enjoyable?
Elsuperaguas’ venture has quite a few dependent mods—amusingly, it’s a must to make Leon’s head invisible as a way to make room for the brand new first particular person digital camera. Nonetheless, it surprises me how few tweaks it takes to show RE4 right into a practical FPS. Only a few years in the past, Capcom itself went in the wrong way with its addition of a 3rd particular person digital camera to the initially first particular person Resident Evil Village.
You will get elsuperaguas’ first particular person retrofit, in addition to its dependent mods, over on the Resident Evil 4 (2023) Nexus.
