This shift in camera angles is designed to enhance the tension and horror by introducing more blind spots for the lurking enemies.

Background Information: The Resident Evil series, known for its survival horror genre, initiated its iconic journey in 1996. Resident Evil 2, first released in 1998, pioneered the zombie apocalypse narrative with fixed camera angles that added to the game's suspense and difficulty. While the series evolved to third and first-person perspectives in later installments, the Resident Evil 2 Remake and Resident Evil 3 Remake, which followed Capcom's success with the first game’s remake, retained the essence of the series while refreshing the graphics and gameplay mechanics. The recent success of Resident Evil 4's remake, which also departs from fixed perspectives, has further solidified the series' impact on the contemporary gaming market.
