If they gave a shit they could have left the old version up as a branch that people could opt in to. Steam supports that. Other games do that.

Yeah, the way they did it is really unpopular with Steam users, looking at all the threads on the forum there. As I expected. People complaining about being forced to use DX12 now (for DX11 supposedly ran a lot better), some going through complicated steps to downgrade, one suggesting refunds...

RE2, 3 and 7 can now be downgraded.

DirectX 11 Non-Ray Tracing Version Now Available

Hello Resident Evil fans,

Due to overwhelming community response, we've reactivated the previous version that does not include ray tracing and enhanced 3D audio. Both enhanced and previous versions will be made available going forward.

Please follow the steps below if you wish to roll back to the previous version.

1. Click LIBRARY in Steam client.
2. Right-click the game and select ""Properties...""
3. In the pop-up menu, select ""BETAS""
4. From the pull-down menu, select ""dx11_non-rt"" (Note: password not required)
5. Close the pop-up menu and let the Steam client auto-update the game
6. You should be able to launch the game normally once the update completes
7. Please note some of the in-game option settings will be reset as a result of the rollback process.

If you would like to update the game to the new version again, simply select ""None"" from the pull-down menu in Step 4 above.

I don't want to sexually arouse you, but a fixed camera mod have been released and is really good. It includes near 1700 camera angles for the entire game, and control customization.







You can play with fixed cameras + over the shoulder only when aiming, and it feels nice.

Who cares? The game Crapcom came out with was garbage and was ultimately not what the fans really wanted (as indicated by mods such as this). It's too little too late for a game that was made for 3rd person shooting from the ground up just like all the other trash that came out after the OG trilogy.

Also looks pretty bad: the cam angles are amateurish, and it just shows that it's a mod and that the gameplay wasn't made with fixed cam angles in mind.

The fix camera mod is interesting. Although I don’t know why you’d go with actual fixed cameras when you’ve got fully 3D environments. The camera doesn’t move in the original RE2 because it’s got pre-rendered 2D backgrounds. But with fully 3D environments you can move that camera around just like an actual movie would (pan, dolly, truck, boom) as well as doing optical things like crash zooms. Code: Veronica used fully 3D environments to allow camera movement with its camera angles.

You can enable travelling and other camera effects (Like following the character) in the options from the mod.

Here's a small clip about how the thing looks (Fixed cameras, tank controls, third person aiming)

fake and gay.
RE1 Remake on Gamecube was more atmospheric and immersive with it's pre-rendered backgrounds and it's framing of each shot. It was a masterful art.
This is complete trash and a very poor imitation of something that could have been far greater. But Crapcom didn't care to make it happen, so why even try?
