You can now play Resident Evil 4 Remake in first-person with this mod
destructoid.comWhile there’s nothing wrong with playing the remake of Resident Evil 4 as intended, some have been hoping for a first-person view. The VR update does allow for that, but now there is a mod for those that don’t have a headset but still want a first-person RE4 experience.
As noted by PCGamer, Nexus Mods user elsuperaguas has released the beta version of a mod for Resident Evil 4 that switches the perspective. Now, without having to use the PSVR 2, you can 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, bringing RE4 more in-line with the seventh and eighth installments in Capcom’s iconic survival horror series.
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 play RE4 in 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 the Mercenaries content. Once all that’s done, you should be good to go.
Unsurprisingly, we declared Resident Evil 4 the best remake/remaster of 2023. Much like the modern takes on RE2 and RE3, Capcom did a fantastic job of making the classic game feel fresh without losing what made the original highly praised special.
