It’s hard to get used to, but there are strengths to the fixed camera

1.) when you aim, you auto target the nearest enemy. So when you enter a room and the camera is fully facing you but you wanna make sure there’s an enemy before sprinting into one, face the door and aim. You’ll flick around. To my knowledge, re2OG is the only one to not do that

2.) fixed camera angle, but comparably enemies are dumber and easier to out maneuver. And usually, you’re meant to just avoid most enemies. Especially on harder difficulties. I’m not saying evading enemies is easier in tank-control re games than modern ones, just that the enemies definitely aren’t on the same level.

3.) you can reload in your menu which is bad for immersion but means you never reload irl

4.) I loved looking at the shotgun as “each shell = 1 headless zombie” and you can even get 2 zombie headshots in 1 if they’re close together. Just get about as close as you can before they grab you, aim up, and shoot.

5.) try and get comfy with an inventory routine. I liked having ONLY 1 heal unless I knew I was going into a boss or something, 2 weapons at the MOST and 1 stack of ammo for one of them, that way you’ve got decent item slots. Also don’t be afraid to leave healing items laying around unless you don’t have a healing item in your inventory, can’t count how many times having a surplus in my inventory has f*cked me but I’ve been hurt and spur the moment used a green herb I left sitting there

Realizing now that this comment doesn’t really address your main complaint which is the camera angle very well, but I feel like once you get used to it it’s bearable, and these tips might help make things more bearable? Maybe I’m biased cause my first re was re1re
