Resident Evil left its third-person roots behind for 2017's Resident Evil 7, which introduced both a new protagonist and a new first-person perspective. The game's use of third-person viewpoints, combined with fixed shots to keep players in suspense as they explore, has been used throughout the earliest games of the series, as well as in other survival horror games such as Silent Hill. Resident Evil first released in 1996 and quickly became one of the horror titles that made fixed camera angles a staple of the genre.

The project, while in the early stages of development, is already playable in part, and should provide a unique and perhaps more terrifying experience for fans of the original Resident Evil. A Resident Evil fan is working on remaking the first game in the series in first-person, replacing the original's famous third-person perspective.
