A new mod has completely changed the perspective of a beloved entry in the Resident Evil franchise, and essentially changes the game into something completely different.
The actual official Resident Evil series didn’t embrace first-person as a gameplay style until the 2017 release ofResident Evil 7: Biohazard. That game was released a full five years afterResident Evil 6released to middling reviews, and it can’t be understated how big a deal it was that the series changed how it plays. This change continued into 2021’sResident Evil Village,and will likely continue into the future of new Resident Evil releases, while the remakes of the classic Resident Evil games such as the aforementionedResident Evil 2stick to the third-person camera angle that is much more directly related to Resident Evil as a franchise.

With the advent of this mod, and the (relatively) recent release ofResident Evil 4, it’s likely that we see more and more first-person mode mods crop up over the coming year, bringing with them whole new ways to play classic titles, and also bringing in an entire cadre of fans who wouldn’t normally play the older titles due to them being in third-person.
