![]() ![]() I spent more than one sleepless night startled by every creak and crack the house made. When I was that age Final Fantasy 7 was the darkest game I’d played thus far, and the claustrophobia of the RPD and Umbrella labs and the bloodshed and carnage freaked me out like none other. None of that could prepare my tiny kid mind for how blown it was going to be by RE2. I hadn’t played the first game at that point and picked it out from what I saw from previews in GamePro and EGM, and TV commercials. When it released on January 21, 1998, I was nine-years-old, and my mom bought it for me the day it came out. While the game hasn’t aged well, especially the controls, Resident Evil 2 still gives me chills playing it. ![]() When the original Resident Evil released in 1996, it made waves, but it was the second game that perfected the formula that would serve the series almost ten years until Resident Evil 4 revamped the playstyle. Twenty years ago RE2 came out and cemented Capcom’s survival horror series as a premier video game franchise. Resident Evil 2 is now available on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.Yesterday marked the 20th anniversary of Resident Evil 2‘s release. The first-person mod is only available for PC users, as expected, so console users are out of luck for now. It’s also nice to be able to see all of your character’s little animations play out in first-person, such as Leon wiping his arms off from the rain, as you can see in the beginning of the video. The mod, which can be downloaded on GitHub, also allows you to tweak various visual settings such as the field of view. You can’t aim down sights of course, but then again, you couldn’t really do that in Resident Evil 7 either. Of course, cutscenes and certain animations in the game will cause it to revert back to a third-person view, but pretty much everything else can be played out in first-person. There’s a YouTube video embedded down below to give you an idea of how the game runs with the mod installed. ![]() Modder Praydog has created a mod for Resident Evil 2, allowing you to play through the entire game in first-person. ![]() If you were a huge fan of the first-person perspective in Resident Evil 7, and were disappointed that Capcom opted to go back to third-person with the Resident Evil 2 remake, you’re in luck. ![]()
