With the upcoming release of Resident Evil 7 being first person, a modder named 'Rod Lima' has found a way to extract the models and animation data from REmake and into Blender. He has made the game, and cutscenes, entirely in first person view.

Video here.

REmake cutscenes in first person (previous video).

 

[PhilipDoesMatter]

Shit looks legit! Nice job!

 

[TheFNEffecT]

That is pretty awesome! I just finished up replaying REmake/REmaster to get into the mood for 7 and I was pretty happy how well it played.

 

[GulAtiCa]

That is awesome.

 

[eso76]

Uhm..But how did he extract the prerendered backdrops models for those to work in 1st person ???

 

[Masterspeed]

If you told me when I was playing RE2 that RE in first person would be amazing, I'd call you bat shit, but looking at it now... Shit, I want the Resi series remade in first person...

 

[drotahorror]

wtf how is this even possible?

He re-created the mansion in Blender.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Oh it's not in game assets, its completly recreated?

That's damn impressive. Is the whole game playable?

 

[AlanOC91]

Very very impressive.

 

[eso76]

He re-created the mansion in Blender.

Yep, obviously.
From the videos it looks like he did a pretty good job too.

I have been saying the world needs this for decades, I need this now

 

[CalamityPixel]

He re-created the mansion in Blender.

Dayuum the guy got skills

 

[Crossing Eden]

Goddamn that's quite the homage. . Holy shit.

 

[Fisty]

Nice, Capcom would definitely be leaving money on the table not letting us revisit the mansion in VR. Honestly we need VR Tourism for all classic locations in video games

 

[Leatherface]

!!!! whoa!!!

did this modder REmake everything in 3D? sounds like a monumental task to say the least.

 

[GAMETA]

Looking good

 

[fastmower]

How?!? This seems like a ridiculous amount of work for one person.

 

[Tom Nook]

YES PLEASE!

 

[mikezilla2]

shoot will have to keep an eye on this

might end up getting this on PC after all

 

[F0rneus]

Looks like Capcom went and ripped off P.T and Oulast. All I see in that video is just walking. Are we sure there's combat?

I would double dip on REmake HD in VR so hard.

 

[allintospace]

The efforts of mod communities never fail to surprise me.

 

[Death Metalist]

Mad, MAD RESPECT. Insanity.

 

[TheFNEffecT]

Completely agree! Some of the Vive's destinations are super cool, would be awesome to be able to have a guided tour of some iconic locations.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

I'd LOVE to replay this game in first-person. GOD DAMN IT

 

[GoldenCrow]

I want this. I never wanted this but now I have seen it I do.

 

[.Anema]

Wow, I need this, looks super fun to revisit the mansion!

 

[jond76]

Very cool.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Well I never needed an excuse to play REmake yet again but here we are. Will play of it's the whole game and even more in VR!

 

[Jake2by4]

I was told older RE's in FP was stupid. The concept could clearly work.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

I'm interested to hear from people who said that RE7's FPV was too much of a departure that did not harken back to the series' roots, because if anything this sample shows that FPV can enhance the experience even further.

REmake in FPV is clearly effective.

 

[Seik]

That's awesome! :O

I just did REmake during the week-end, would love to go through it like that just for the fun of it!

 

[Kai Dracon]

Yeah I'm seriously wondering how he created all those assets in Blender that fast, to that level of polish with textures and such.

 

[hey_it's_that_dog]

It's a little unclear from the OP; how much of the game's environment has he remodeled in real time 3D? I have to assume it's just the parts being shown.

 

[metareferential]

Where do we download this incredible effort?

And someone start working on VR, damn it!

 

[Social]

The video showing it is making me feel sick already.

 

[Paracelsus]

It looks a lot less scary because it breaks the camera angles and watching your screen getting bitten is a lot less impactful than having your avatar. But yeah, people have decided to drink the kool-aid, and they even want more.

I'm sure FPV would be considerably more effective if you saw Hunters, Crimson Heads and other monsters creeping around corners as you approached them.

There's no Kool-Aid with FPV. It indeed makes the experience more visceral because you are that much closer to the character and how he or she would see what's in front of them.

 

[Samuraicop]

So much respect to this man. Please let Capcom do something like this or contact the person

 

[disappeared]

Never thought I'd ever see the mansion from that perspective before. That's pretty awesome.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

This is never getting released, right?

Neither that RE 3.5 fan game.

So many cool RE projects that never will be completed.

 

[sinkfla87]

Holy shit, this is insane. Don't think I've got the balls to play this in VR either if it ever gets worked out .

 

[ISOM]

I disagree with this.

 

[cripterion]

Kills all the charm and ambiance of the game.

 

[Wishmaster92]

That looks awesome!

 

[Octavia]

Regardless of what happens with this, this is super impressive. Very nice work.

 

[malboroking]

Kills all the charm and ambiance of the game.

I whole-heartedly disagree.

 

[kunonabi]

Kills all the charm and ambiance of the game.

not to mention the gameplay. Speed and knife runs in FP would be a total pain in the ass.

 

[Drackhorn]

Unbelievable. Loads and loads of respect.

 

[Mupod]

how the fuck?

you'd think even with the original model files, there'd be so much missing stuff that this couldn't work. Why would they render stuff you'd never see in gameplay? And didn't Capcom say they lost these files, hence the reason RE0 HD looked good and REmake HD looked like a shitty filter over low res backgrounds?
