The opening to Resident Evil 3 remake has the player controlling Jill from a first-person perspective. It’s pretty jarring, especially with the narrow field-of-view, but it’s also reminiscent of the point-of-view used in Resident Evil 7. RE7 was a great success, with the first-person view working well to enhance the immersion, so perhaps first-person could make the RE3 remake a better game? Here’s what you need to know about a Resident Evil 3 remake first-person mode.

With that said, the game is now out on PC, where modders are always pushing the boundaries on what is possible in video games.

For now, though, the only way to experience first-person in Resident Evil 3 remake is at the very start of the game. It’s only a very brief moment, as Jill stumbles around in a nightmare scenario. Upon waking up, the nightmare is over, along with that first-person view.
If you want to experience a Resident Evil game in first-person, then Resident Evil 7 is a must-play. It even supports VR, giving those brave enough to play in virtual reality an even more immersive time. Maybe Resident Evil 8 will also be in first-person, but we’ll have to wait to hear more official information about that!
