One of many few issues that is ever tempted me to get a VR headset is the concept of getting an outdated favourite reworked by the tech—tasks just like the VR variations of the O.G. Resident Evil 4 or its current remake. I nonetheless do not have a headset, however modder elsuperaguas’ first particular person undertaking for the RE4 Remake (as reported by DSOGaming) appears 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 digicam to the primary particular person, however in any other case leaves Leon’s physique mannequin and animations intact, resulting in a slower-paced kind of FPS with an actual grounding on the planet—fairly just like RE7 and Village’s gameplay, all issues thought-about. I might see the decreased situational consciousness making the sport way more traumatic and tough, however is not that a part of the enjoyable?
Elsuperaguas’ undertaking has a variety of dependent mods—amusingly, you must make Leon’s head invisible with the intention to make room for the brand new first particular person digicam. Nonetheless, it surprises me how few tweaks it takes to show RE4 right into a useful FPS. Just some years in the past, Capcom itself went in the wrong way with its addition of a 3rd particular person digicam to the initially first particular person Resident Evil Village.
You may get elsuperaguas’ first particular person retrofit, in addition to its dependent mods, over on the Resident Evil 4 (2023) Nexus.
