Why This Remake Feels Fresh
There is a major shift for the Remake.
It's going back to fixed camera angles, using third-person perspective as well as over-the-shoulder views for the series, a new kind of look that is giving fans of horror a unique experience!
This remake was done, not only for aesthetic appeal. They had to compensate with how limited the processing power was with PlayStation 2., this is a really well-known element from games of that era, and the way they are done today, are pretty unique!
- Tsuboyama said how unhappy he was with the original camera system!
- He added how hard he tried with his crew to have those wider shots.
That wasn't possible though. The PlayStation 2 was truly an amazing console. But had major limitations, which they had to work within.
There might be a new wave of innovation with new games in the future.
What's amazing is that the camera is an element of horror Gaming that might just bring out an immersive sense of fear!
