It is one of many first stops for modding a brand new recreation, like “Whats up World (opens in new tab)” for programming—no I am not speaking concerning the nude mods, although good guess, I am speaking about an quaint perspective shift. YouTuber Voyagers Revenge (opens in new tab) not too long ago uploaded a preview of their in-progress first particular person mod for The Final of Us on PC.

It appears to perform the look by zooming within the digital camera to Joel’s eye stage whereas protecting the identical animation work. Whereas this strategy typically lacks the mechanical finesse of a bespoke first particular person perspective, I all the time respect the immersive impact it has. Your character holds their weapon like an actual particular person would, and never simply superimposed in entrance of their face like a Doom sprite, and also you after all get the enjoyment of wanting down and seeing your physique on the planet as a substitute of simply floating six toes off the bottom.
Naughty Canine’s post-apocalyptic environments actually maintain up zoomed in like this, and as with comparable mods for the Witcher (opens in new tab), Darkish Souls (opens in new tab), or Elden Ring (opens in new tab), it is refreshing to get a brand new tackle these acquainted locales. I all the time discover I need one of the best of each worlds every time it is doable to make it work in a recreation—Bethesda will all the time have a particular place in my coronary heart for letting you freely swap between first and third particular person view since Morrowind, and I am going to all the time lament Troika’s canceled Fallout-style RPG (opens in new tab), which might have carried out this with a first-person view and traditional RPG isometric perspective.
It is unclear when Voyagers Revenge’s first particular person mod might be made out there to most of the people, however you possibly can sustain with developments on their YouTube channel (opens in new tab), they usually even have a Patreon (opens in new tab) with unique movies.
