Any good camera mods for this?

[Lord Dindu 69]

The default camera is nauseous to use.
To quote Dunkey it's like it's working for the enemy.

You can't alter the camera in this game. Even if you force move the camera in any way, all it does is to zoom/rotate the 3d modells and props while the background stays in place.

Don't know about camera mods, but this one is indispensable:

It's annoying if you're used to later RE cameras, but you get used to it after awhile. I felt the same way when I first played.

One of the stupidest things about this "survivor horror" game. Makes no sense at all.

The fixed cameras make it more fun and scary when you don't know what's around the next corner. Although it does feel stupid when you run down a straight hallway into a zombie that you obviously would have seen a mile away.

Doesn't have anything to do with that; has to do with RE being a PS1 game. PS1 was severely limited on poly count, so many PS1 games used the technique of having still images to give detail to the background while having 3D characters on top.

hope this gets made

And, on top of that, because controlling the camera position/angles and limiting the player's visual range contributed to adding more tension and giving it a more unique cinematic style to the games. Making the otherwise mostly dumb enemies more threatening, and requiring the player to sometimes rely on sounds to guess the enemies' placement, which wouldn't be possible if the player could just allways spot where the enemies are from far away.

We're dealing with "modern gamers". Either it's just like all the other games being pumped out with hand holding and convenience, or it's just not playable. How dare any gamer these days have to use their brain, or adapt to things that are different and creates a challenge.

Maybe not all people enjoy challenging themselves when they play? I dunno, would seem like an obvious thing, but I guess it's not. So weird to see how human beings can find the most ridiculous things to be elitists over. "We, OLDER gamers... We're the real deal! We love us some challenge. Stupid modern gamers amirite?"

There's a difference between challenging yourself, and the game just being a challenge. Having fixed camera angles, and the restrictive controls and combat, make the game a challenge. Deciding to do a knife only run with no saves is challenging yourself. There's a big difference between the two.

You clearly missed the point of what was being said, because you chose to get offended. The problem that so many people have with modern gamers is that they all want basically every game to be the same. When there is a game that isn't exactly like every other shooter or whatever, then they all start complaining about, "Why doesn't it have this?" Too many people seem to think that every game is designed for every person. Just like all the people that have whined over the years about Dark Souls not having an easy difficulty setting. It would kind of defeat the purpose if they did something like that. Instead of these people understanding that maybe it's just not the game for them, they decide to whine and complain about stupid things.

Resident Evil has become a lot more popular over the past few years, and it's making new people want to go back and check out the older games. There is countless people that complain about how things are, because they expect it to be just like the newer games, and can't understand why they're not. There is no elitism taking place. Maybe if you stopped being a "modern gamer", then you would see why so many people have been frustrated over the years with the way people tend to act, and how so many games are basically just a copy and paste template of each other. That's also why a lot of people go back and play older games, because they're at least something different from the generic action shooter that exists now.

Thanks for elaborating on your point; you sound a lot more sensible now than you did in your previous comment, I'll give you that. Still, you're missing an elephant in the room: videogames are not the same kind of entertainment as books, music, or films. They are highly customisable, and I'm not even talking about mods – just choosing a different difficulty setting can drastically alter the experience you will have. Resident Evil straight up asks you "How do you like your games?" when you launch it. So, your argument about games being "not for everyone" simply doesn't make any sense. Every single game that a person feels interested in because of the plot or the visuals or whatever else is for them, period – and your arguing that this is not the case, that Resident Evil can only truly appeal to the selected few makes me think I wasn't so wrong with my elitism claim after all. Maybe you just don't realise it. It's okay though – being someone who's been "playing these games since the original one came out" can really get into your head sometimes, but that's how our brains work (sadly)

Challenging games and challenging yourself are not very different if you think about it, because deciding to play a challenging game is challenging yourself, isn't it? OP wants to play Resident Evil because this is a game they like; the only thing they don't like about it are awkward camera angles, so they're curious if there's a way to change this since videogames are by definition something that is able to be tweaked and modified in many ways to suit your personal tastes. The fact that you would call this "whining" really says more than I ever could have.

And yeah, I will never wrap my head around why you decide to be frustrated over this whole deal with people complaining, requiring different mods, demanding easy difficulty settings. What does it have to do with you? Why do you have a "problem with modern gamers?" "...So many people have been frustrated over the years..." – what on God's green earth are you talking about? Let people play the games they paid for the way they want lmao, it's not that hard. Imagine coming to a restaurant and getting yelled at by some random bozo who thinks you're holding the fork wrong when eating pasta

Generic action shooter is also not as much of a problem as you make it out to be. There are so many games on Steam that are not action shooters and something you may like that you'll need several lifetimes to play them all, and new games that do not try to appeal to the average modern gamer you detest so much come out all the time as well. To quote Big Smoke, "Just chill the ♥♥♥♥ out, man"

You can't possibly alter the camera because the graphics are only made to be viewed from that angle. It's something a lot of early 3D era consoles games did to save more processing power for other things. The gamecube remake used the technique to make this faithful to the original, and also made it look amazing for the time. Almost everyone finds it strange at the start but then you get used to it. Or you don't, and miss out on some awesome games. You would not be alone. I had friends that refused to play it. And others that got used to it, and loved it. It's very polarizing.
