❗️Resident Evil Veronica is a third-person camera perspective game. According to our sources, the new Resident Evil Veronica will feature a fully third-person perspective, similar to the recent remakes of Resident Evil 2 (2019), Resident Evil 3 (2020), and Resident Evil 4 (2023). The first-person viewpoint seen in the announcement trailer was likely a creative presentation choice. Capcom used a similar approach for the reveal trailers of Resident Evil 2 (2019) and Resident Evil 3 (2020), where certain scenes were shown from a first-person perspective despite the final games being entirely third-person experiences.

Alone in the Dark (Infogrames/1992) for MS-DOS PC is widely considered a cult classic and the true father of 3D survival horror, establishing the formula of fixed camera angles and resource management. Pioneered 3D character on pre-rendered backgrounds, influencing Resident Evil, and is praised for its atmospheric Lovecraftian horror and inventive puzzle-solving.

Resident Evil Requiem on PC is on another level. 4K output with path tracing, 120 fps thanks to 2x frame generation, and all of this running in performance mode. Moments like this remind me exactly why getting a PC was worth it. 🔥
