​

The Resident Evil 2 Remake released back in 2019 to high acclaim, with the incredible features that the RE Engine brings to the table, which was previously used in Resident Evil 7, it's high quality visuals, audio and retelling of the original and beloved Resident Evil 2 story that many still hold as one of the best in the series.

However, while many enjoyed the title, there were still some that wished Capcom still gave Resident Evil 2 a proper fixed-camera treatment for a Remake, something akin to that of the Resident Evil (1) Remake. The RE2 Remake didn't offer any option for fixed cameras, sadly, but when the developers don't offer such options, the fans are always there to pick up the work.

A brand-new mod has been released over at NexusMods for Resident Evil 2 Remake, titled "RE2 Classic" by alphaZomega, and this new mod brings back the fixed cameras that the original Resident Evil series was known for in its first iterations, alongside a fully working auto-aim, a camera editor for the view angles, and many other features to make the experience as enjoyable and customizable for the player as possible.

Those interested in trying out the mod can download it from the release page of the RE2 Classic mod at NexusMods, be sure to read through the instructions in detail to properly setup the mod and customize it to one's liking.

REmake 2 was brilliant. Hope cap com do this for the console version.

 

[RyRyIV]

This mod alone is making me consider picking up RE2make for PC!

 

[Purple_Shyguy]

This is sick as fuck. Something that should be officially added by Capcom as an optional mode

You should definitely get them. They are usually on sale for $10ish on steam. I think they are on sale rn and if you get the racoon city bundle(both 2 and 3) it's like $5 cheaper.

Oh this is amazing. I always loved the old fixed camera positions of the earlier games. That was where a lot of the uneasiness came from.

That combined with the classic costumes and the classic OST is just the Remake we all wanted in the vein of REmake
The ONLY thing I hate about RE2 Remake when it's handled through Fixed Camera is how awful the running animation looks for the playable characters.

This is looks so sick!

These remakes would be perfect if they made this a choice basically. Play the modern over the shoulder way. Or the fixed camera angle way like in REmake.

Can someone make a mod that simulates the resolution of the PS1?
Or allows the game to be played at that resolution?

That would make a perfect companion to this.

Odd request but you can just change the resolution ingame. Not to the same level but you can definitely get it real low.

Lowering the resolution should give a similar effect.
Lowest it can go is 640x480, around 480p, and it gives this look:

It looks gawd. The lighting seems to darken the scene quite a bit. Needs more brightness.

But it is a nice approach.

Brightness can also be changed in-game iirc

I don't have the game, so I don't know. I no computer powerful enough.

 

[Ligeia]

Gee thank god it's not a Nintendo game

 

[Nyx24]

Ps4 compatible?

 

[eriols]

I really screamed in some areas, the game is that scary. I am just sad that the game is so short.

 

[Jayro]

Finally... This is how the remake was supposed to be done.

 

[Viri]

Damn, that's really cool! That feels like something Capcom should have added to the remake them self.
