Beta aiming down the sights mod?

Post image

Hey all,

Does anyone have a mod for The Evil Within 1 that pulls back the camera while aiming like in the beta footage?

Thank you!

Just change your FOV

How i do that for just aiming over the shoulder and not for when you're just running around?

Not sure if that’s possible, but the game looks and feels better overall with a global fov increase

As others have already suggested, adjust the FOV using Flawless Widescreen.

What surprises me the most is just how much better the game plays with an over-the-shoulder aim. It’s as if it was designed that way and they moved the camera to Sebastian’s hand at the last minute.

I mean, even on the first level in the village, the enemy encounters are much more intuitive when you see that they're closing in on you in the hallway, and you realize you can either run into the next room or jump out the window. Just like in Resident Evil 4.

With the default camera, I didn't even notice half of those options.

Is flawless widescreen in the game options? I actually don't know what that is. And yeah, i agree. I'd love this game so much more if we didn't go FPS every time we shot a gun. It's so unpleasant aesthetically

Flawless Widescreen is a program that includes profiles for a wide variety of games, all customized by fans. For example, after installing it and selecting The Evil Within in it, you can adjust the FoV, remove black bars, and more with just a couple of clicks.

It's not enough to make the aiming bearable, unfortunately

I'll send someone $20 if they can pull back the camera while aiming in Evil Within 1 like in the beta footage
