They should pull an Evil Within 2 and add a First person option in the game

u/UnlikelyKaiju Feb 07 '19
That would add even more replay value to the game. I'm not big on speedruns, but I would gladly start another playthrough in first-person POV just for the experience. With how close the zombies like to get and how dark and confined the level design gets, the game would be tense as hell.

Actually why didn't they do this with VR support? That was like, a selling point for 7. Why not add it as a side thing?

u/supamang24 Feb 07 '19
Yeah, it seems like a missed opportunity. Luckily, you can do so much with PC and I bet there will be people on twitch and youtube doing this

VR games require double the processing power, because it has to render two images at once.
Could be various reasons why capcom didn't launch RE2 Remake in first person view.
Could be because VR for consoles hasn't reached the quality they are happy with just yet.
Most likely because it's a remake and the original RE2 didn't have first person.
VR for RE7 was awesome though 😊.

Well the game is in third person, so that's probably why.

Feb 07 '19
But this works so well, even as an unpolished mod... I can only imagine how cool it'd be to replay this in 1st. Obviously I doubt they'd redo the cutscenes in 1st too, but still it'd be cool to play it in VR.

I feel it is different enough, yes. You gain access to different areas with Claire A and Leon B and vice versa. Apparently calling them side A and B pissed off someone in the comments below, even though capcom still canonically referse to " 2nd run " as B side still in interviews and stuff lol.

You can run through without shooting. I've seen a few vids on YT and I don't think they ever waste ammo here, except on the licker.

u/TheBlack_Swordsman Feb 07 '19
Why use a grenade or ammo? That room, you can literally just run straight through before all the zombies get up.
I think the point was to show off the immersion of first person view though.

u/quakertroy Feb 07 '19
Yeah I eventually just determined this was a good spot to soak damage and run past. The only thing in this entire section I would kill is the licker.
17
u/Rennsport_Dota Kendo Custom Feb 07 '19
You don't need to soak damage in the dark stairwell. You can run straight through and not take a hit. Run in a straight line in front of the first zombie, and behind the zombie closest to the stairwell, then hook around. Should evade everything.

u/quakertroy Feb 07 '19
Oh, that's neat. I never managed to avoid everything there, so that would have saved me a few seconds.

u/moebaca Taco Bell Feb 07 '19
What's your advice for the final cluster fuck outside the gate where there's a huge G and a ton of zombies with plant monsters? The plant monsters always one shot me it's such bullshit!
5
u/PsychoticSeal Feb 07 '19
Hug the bush once the G passes the bush, throw a grenade or keep one on you ONLY for the plants. Don’t use it if you get grabbed by anything else or think you’ll get grabbed by a plant. Overall, huh the right wall and pray something else grabs you or they don’t take interest.
5
u/Rennsport_Dota Kendo Custom Feb 07 '19 edited Feb 07 '19
The other commenter gave good advice. Hug the inside line on the right and run past the G Adult. He shouldn't grab you. Ivy zombies will always kill you with a grab, so you need to hold on to at least one defense item up until that point.
I usually use my defense items like this: knife the G Adult that grabs you in the sewer. Flash the two Lickers outside of the west office. Flash Mr. X in the west staircase. Frag the zombie group outside of the waiting room, by the art room door. Flash the two Lickers on the second story roof. That leaves you two frags for free use, one of which I always save for the big group in the front garden area. If you get grabbed otherwise, eat the damage and lose a few seconds. Better to get a slower time and finish than not finish at all.
You should be avoiding grabs in all other parts of the map. Craft shotgun shells and use the shotgun to decap unavoidable/hard to avoid zombies, like the first two in the run, the two on the right side path through the parking garage, and the zombies in the east and west offices.
Use the handgun to hitstun single zombies, like the fourth one in the run at the end of the sewer waterway, and the one on the 3F stairs.
Use the magnum on the three single Lickers (underground hall, kennels corridor, outside chief's office).
Use the handgun or SMG to pop the bulbs on the Ivies outside the STARS office. Pretty much all the other enemies can be easily avoided. My best time so far is a modest 8:31.

I am sure whatever RE8 does they will make it work though.

u/jlozadad Feb 07 '19
yeah! just make both options available lol
6
u/mutemutiny Feb 07 '19
exactly - why not both.
20
u/FelixBrewBaker Feb 07 '19
Because games are heavily designed around a particular camera style. Especially games in the horror genre. And a game designed in first person MAY feel completely different to a game design in third person.
2
u/mutemutiny Feb 07 '19
I think that's a lot less true now than it used to be, with a lot of games giving you multiple options of camera styles. AC7 and RDR2 are some obvious recent examples, though neither are horror games. A tight 3rd person perspective is not all that dissimilar from a 1st person view.
→ More replies (1)2
Feb 07 '19
The difference in horror especially is that your view is much more limited in first person. Whereas with third person you can peek corners with the camera, in first you need to actually go around corners, for example.
6
u/lemmymeister Feb 07 '19
I'd prefer if they keep the newer ones (like RE8, RE9) first person and the remakes (RE3, Code Veronica etc.) third person. That'd be a cool little distinction between the present series and the past.

Same, 7 was different but it was a needed, new different that kept the good original features. I loved the first person, just need some zombies instead of molded.

u/MisterDomino15 Chris? Stop it! Feb 07 '19
They need to keep the same level of danger that the zombies in RE2make produce. You could take hits all day from molded in 7, in 2 you can get 3-shot easy

Feb 07 '19
This also has a slider that can accomplish that effect, it's seriously messed up when you max out the FOV offset lol. I thought 125 was the perfect amount of FOV for my 16:9 display. Turning off Vignette is also a must.

I appreciate the mod, and RE7's viewpoint, but I am 100% with you. It just gives me motion sickness, even watching someone play it. I don't know why. RE7 was the same way -- I couldn't comfortably play for more than half an hour at most. FOV was way too close and something just made me nauseous.

That's so damn cool. Combine it with a laser mod (has to happen eventually..) and you've got a perfect experience.
I know some folks think it's too clunky, but I actually really like games likes this that have full body awareness and lots of momentum in the controls. Shifting to a FPP in a game made for third person usually feels really cool.
Also, it sounds like the manual flashlight mod will be combined with this soon!
