While there’s nothing wrong with playing the remake ofResident Evil 4as intended, some have been hoping for a first-person view. TheVR updatedoes allow for that, but now there is a mod for those that don’t have a headset but still want a first-personRE4experience.
As noted byPCGamer, Nexus Mods userelsuperaguashas released the beta version of a mod forResident Evil 4that switches the perspective. Now, without having to use the PSVR 2, you’re able to play last year’s remake in glorious first-person.
A recent video from the YouTube channel Residence of Evil shows it in action. It’s as you would expect, bringingRE4more in-line with the seventh and eighth installments in Capcom’s iconic survival horror series.
Even Leon’s curtains don’t get in the way
There are some things you might want to take into account before you install the mod, however. On the download page, elsuperaguas says you will need to install a few things before you can playRE4in first-person.
Those things are:
1.“Headless Leon” mod so you don’t see inside Leon’s head.2.“Laser for every handgun” to fix the misalign of the laser beam.3.“Invisible Weird Headgears” so you don’t see the accessories.
You can also install “Headless Main Characters” if you want to play as Ashley or theMercenariescontent. Once all that’s done, you should be good to go.
Unsurprisingly, we declaredResident Evil 4thebest remake/remaster of 2023. Much like the modern takes onRE2andRE3, Capcom did a fantastic job of making the classic game feel fresh without losing what made the original highly praised special.
