One of many few issues that is ever tempted me to get a VR headset is the thought of getting an outdated favourite reworked by the tech—initiatives just like the VR variations of the O.G. Resident Evil 4 or its latest remake.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