This is what Resident Evil 2 Remake could have looked like with fixed camera angles

DSOGaming writes: "YouTube’s ‘Enveloping Sounds’ has shared two videos, showing what Resident Evil 2 Remake could have looked like with fixed camera angles. As we all know, the original Resident Evil trilogy featured fixed camera viewpoints and these videos replicate the feeling of playing the remake in its original aesthetic style."

Thank God it doesn't have fixed camera angles. I get turned around enough as it is.

[RosweeSon]

Whilst I agree it should be an option its like playing through a cctv haha

[Tross]

Neat. Capcom should add something like this as an extra mode or something. It would make me play through the game twice...which would technically be 8 times as although I haven’t played this yet, I definitely plan on doing Leon A, Claire B, then Claire A, Leon B at minimum, and I would have to double that if a fixed camera mode were an official thing.

[ArchangelMike]

Just a heads-up, be prepared to clench for that B run through. My goodness it's ramps up the intensity!

[Spenok]

I'd be totally down to play the game this way on a second run via an unlock or something. This is pretty neat.

[RosweeSon]

Yeah it’s like playing police camera action or similar cctv based show haha

[Muzikguy]

I think as an extra mode or bonus content "in game" this would be an awesome addition. Would definitely set them apart from dlc and MTs of other games

[LemyAtom]

I admire the effort but the original RE titles wouldn't have that behind the player fixed angle for several shots in a row as shown at the beginning of the video.

[NapalmSanctuary]

I would have started with far behind the back then gone to a side angle from Leon's right as he got closer to the store, then switched to face Leon from a bit of a distance and slightly above as he entered the store (To be clear, the camera would be positioned inside the store). At this point I would have broken with tradition and had the camera pan right to follow Leon as he moved around the aisles to the door with injured cop. When he got to the back hall, I'd place the camera mid hall, above Leon (as if attached to the ceiling), the first half of the hallway he'd be approaching the camera near head on, and in the second half head be walking away from it. But instead of doing the quick perspective shift the camera would track him as he walked underneath it, for a nice and smooth perspective shift. Once they get that back area, the camera changes are pretty good, until he exits the key door. Particularly after he picks up the key. Before he picks up the key, though, I'd have to actually play around with the camera to see what I'd want to do with it.

[Eamon]

Gotta say, it's pretty cool.

[Hardiman]

THIs is one aspect I'm glad they changed. I just find the over the shoulder perspective better. Playing RE0 again after finishing RE2 and it's definitely a step back.

[CaitSith]

Just because they're a 'step back', doesn't mean the games aren't worth looking back to.

[Marioraider18]

Relax bro

[Hardiman]

I'm playing it as we speak for the fifth time! It'd been a few years but it's still a bit jarring. I can enjoy the game but still criticize it.

[CaitSith]

? I wasn't trying to come off as hostile, I'm just saying that retro games are good to look back to, despite it being a step back.

[Hardiman]

I didn't sense hostility but it did come off as presumptuous because I love the OG RE titles especially the 02 Remake and Zero and highly recommend them. With that said the perspective is off putting when you see how it elevates the experience in the new RE2.

[NapalmSanctuary]

It's not a step back, it's just different.

[Mr Marvel]

As cool and nostalgic as this is, Capcom made the right choice to go over the shoulder.
RE2 Remake is an absolute masterpiece and it makes me want my previous series favourite RE3: Nemesis to be remade more than ever.

[Hardiman]

Absolutely and I was a big proponent of them bringing the horror back and they've done that with RE7 and RE2. The perspective change made it more frightening to me.

The limited ammo and items combined with the atmosphere and characters made it scary. That was just the go to perspective back then. RE2 Remake is just as good maybe better than the original.

[KwietStorm_BLM]

There was a rumor before it came out that this was an unlockable mode. Wish it was true

[Marioraider18]

After 1000s of rumors, eventually 1 will become true

[AK91]

Awesome

[The_Sage]

OMG am I glad that we've advanced beyond that. That looked terrible.

[Ninver]

This just looks outdated. But more power to those who prefer fixed camera. Having both options is always good though.

[strayanalog]

Hm. In the original games when you entered through a door the camera would be placed in front of your character so you weren't able to see everything that was in front of you. This was to create tension, of course, but I don't see that being done here. The camera comes off as random and uninteresting.‎
I think there's more art or strategy to it than just having a camera fixed somewhere. You need to be expressive and/or creative with it to bring out the right feeling. Nice try, though.‎

[CrimsonWing69]

I’ll admit I was one of those tunnel visioned fanboys that was bummed knowing it wouldn’t have fixed camera angles, but having played the game I’m so glad they didn’t. This is just my opinion but this is the blueprint i want for all Resident Evil games going forward.

I love this game and can’t wait to see what Capcom does next!

[Fluttershy77]

Silent Hill 123 remake konami?
