Summary
Love it or hate it, one of the most iconic parts of the classicResident Evilgames is the fixed camera sofans looking for a nostalgia trip before the ninth game drops should check out this newHalf-Life 2mod. Modern iterations of Capcom’s ever-popular survival-horror series have ditched the fixed perspective, instead opting for a first-person view in the new entries and an over-the-shoulder camera in recent remakes. While they certainly play better for it, there’s no denying that the forced angles added to the atmosphere and tension.
Those looking to recapture that experience should check out the recently released “TWHL Tower: Source” modonModDBwhich challengedHalf-Life 2creators to each make a floor in a sprawling tower built with the Source engine.
Out of the 18 total floors,one is heavily inspired by the old-schoolResident Eviltitles: As demonstrated in a video uploaded to X (formerly Twitter ) byblasko_art, upon entering the floor, players have their perspective shifted and each new door is presented as a cutscene. The effect is incredible and should satisfy those who can’t wait forResident Evil 9.
Two Leaked Resident Evil Remakes Can Improve The RE Games That Need It The Most
Some of the most reliable Resident Evil leaks yet point to remakes of two mostly-overlooked spinoffs. Here’s what to expect from the series’ future.
What’s Happening With Resident Evil 9?
It’s Definitely Happening
When it comes to the future of theResident Evilfranchise, Capcom has shared almost nothing.The company has confirmed that legendary game director Koshi Nakanishi, known for his work on the horrifyingResident Evil VII, is returning to helm the projectand the creative has an idea thathe describes as “substantial.“As for further information, rumors continue to swirl regarding the nature of the game with some supposed insiders alleging that it will be an open-world take on the formula fans have come to know and love.
Resident Evilenthusiasts are also trying to figure out who could star in the ninth game given thatEthan Winters' story is confirmed to have ended inResident Evil: Village. Given that Chris Redfield played a dominant role in the last mainline entry, some suspect thathe’ll return to lead the next gameas its protagonist. Alternatively,others want Leon S. Kennedy to shine againafter his starring role in theResident Evil 4remake.
Whatever the future holds,the nextResident Evilis probably still a few years away so players should check out TWHL Tower: Sourcein the meantime. Aside from the excellent level focusing on bringing back the forced camera angles, there is a wealth of other maps with creative twists to keep the mod fresh. It’s completely free and given the amount of effort that went into bringing the mod to life, it’s definitely worth a look.
