The originalResident Evilgames were known for their use of fixed camera angles, which were used to great effect by the franchise’s development team to create an eerie atmosphere and strategically placed jump scares. More recent games in the series have moved away from fixed camera angles to over-the-shoulder perspectives, which is true for the recently releasedResident Evil 3remake. However, one fan has used photo mode to show what the game would look like with fixed camera angles.
Twitter user Suzi has shared images online of what theResident Evil 3remake would look like with a fixed camera, mimicking some of the fixed camera shots from the originalResident Evil 3. The images are all rather stunning, and it goes to show that even if theResident Evil 3remake used a fixed camera as opposed to its over-the-shoulder camera, it still would have been quite impressive from a graphics standpoint.

In future, it will be interesting to see if Capcom ever releases anotherResident Evilgame with a fixed camera. Perhaps it could be convinced to do so if it ever decides to move forward with a smaller scaleResident Evilspin-off game. After all, Capcom has been known to experiment with camera angles and perspectives with theResident Evilfranchise, and there’s no sign that it’s going to stop any time soon.
In fact, the upcomingResident Evil 8is rumored to be first-person, marking only the second main seriesResident Evilgame to go that route. Previously,Resident Evil 7used a first-person view to great effect, ratcheting up the scares significantly while still delivering gameplay that was distinctlyResident Evil.
However, the upcomingResident Evil 8may actually be quite the departure from the series beyond just its use of a first-person camera. Rumors are thatResident Evil 8will have armored zombies, a medieval setting, hallucinations, and more supernatural elements than other games in the series. None of that has been confirmed by Capcom, but if aResident Evil 8reveal is happening this year as leakers have claimed, then fans should find out more sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, fans can check out theResident Evil 3remake fixed camera photos while they continue blazing throughRaccoon Cityin their quest to fully complete the game and unlock all of the achievements/trophies.
