How to invert camera and aiming controls in Resident Evil 4 Remake

The Resident evil 4 Remake uses normal directional controls when it comes to using the right analog stick to look around as well as when you are aiming a weapon. As a result, if you move the right analog stick upwards, then the camera will also pan upwards.

If you would like to invert the camera and aiming controls in this game, then you can check out this guide at Seeking Tech to see how you can properly do so.

1. To start this process off, you need to head over to the Options menu from either the main menu or pause menu.

2. From the Options menu, you need to head over to the Camera tab.

You can change tabs by using the L1 and R1 buttons if you are playing the RE4 Remake on your PlayStation 4, PlayStation 4 Pro, PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Editon console.

If you are playing the game on your Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S, then you need to use the LB or RB buttons instead to change tabs.

3. From the Camera tab, you should see the Camera Inversion section located at the top. You can find the different settings that you can change, as well as the descriptions, below:

Normal Gameplay: “Adjust camera X- and Y-axis inversion settings for normal gameplay when using a controller.”

When Aiming: “Adjust camera X- and Y-axis inversion settings when aiming using a controller.”

Detailed View: “Adjust camera X- and Y-axis inversion settings when viewing items and models using a controller.”

You can change these three settings to None, Invert Y-Axis, Invert X-Axis, Invert X- and Y-Axis.

None is the default option as it features no inversion whatsoever.

The Invert Y-Axis will let you invert the controls so that pushing the right analog stick upwards will move the camera downwards and vice versa.

The Inver X-Axis option will make it so that moving the right analog stick to the left side will move the camera to the right side and vice versa.

You can change these settings by using the left or right directional pad buttons as well as the left analog stick.

4. Once you are done making changes to the camera inversion for the Normal Gameplay, When Aiming and/or Detailed View settings, you need to back out of the Options menu to save and apply the edits.

5. When you go back to playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake, the camera and/or aiming controls should now be inverted.

How to change quick turn button in Resident Evil 4 Remake

The Resident Evil 4 Remake features a quick turn action so that you can quickly rotate the camera 180 degrees. This is helpful if you need to quickly run in the opposite direction and/or notice that an enemy is coming up from behind.

If you would like to change the corresponding quick turn button, then you can take a look at this tutorial to see how you can properly do so.

1. To start off, you need to go to the Options menu.

In order to do so, you can select “Options” from the title screen or pause menu.

2. After opening the Options menu, you should immediately be put in the Controls tab.

If you are on another tab, then you can switch tabs by tapping the L1 and R1 buttons if you are using a DualShock 4 or DualSense. If you are using an Xbox controller to control the game, then you need to tap the LB or RB button.

3. From the Controls tab, scroll down to Quick Turn Type.

4. By default, the Quick Turn Type is set to the R1 on PlayStation or the RB button on Xbox.

By moving the left analog stick downwards and then pressing the R1 or RB button at the same time, then you are able to do a quick 180 degree turn in the opposite direction.

5. If you want to change the corresponding button being used to perform a quick turn, then you can change the Quick Turn Type setting by using the left directional pad button, right directional pad button, moving the left analog stick to the left side or moving the left analog stick to the right side.

In addition to R1/RB, you can change the corresponding quick turn button to Circle/B or L3/pressing down on the Xbox’s left analog stick.

We suggest that you avoid using the L3/pressing down on the Xbox’s left analog stick option as it is not as reliable as using a face or shoulder option.

If you would like, you can also disable the quick turn feature altogether.

6. Once you are finished with making the change to the Quick Turn Type setting, you can save and apply your edit by backing out of the Options menu. You can do so by pressing the Circle or B button.

How to fix Resident Evil 4 Remake aiming issues

When you are playing the Resident Evil 4 Remake, you may find that aiming your weapon to be extremely clunky. As a result, you aren’t able to hit the faster moving target as accurately as you would like.

So, if you have a hard time trying to aim in this new version of RE4, then you can take a look at this troubleshooting guide from Seeking Tech to see how you can improve your accuracy.

1. For the first step, we recommend playing Resident Evil 4 changing the Visuals/Action Priority setting to Frame Rate as doing so will prevent any frame drops that may make aiming harder than usual.

To change this setting, you need to select Options > Display from the Main Menu. You aren’t able to switch between graphics mode from the Pause Menu.

To find out more about how you can deal with frame rate problems, you can check out this previous post.

2. You should also make sure that your television set and monitor have been optimized to minimize input latency. Otherwise, you will end up having a hard time lining up your shots in this third-person game.

To see how you can reduce input lag for this specific title, we suggest that you check out this link.

3. You can also adjust the analog stick sensitivity from the in-game menus of Resident Evil 4.

In order to do so, go to the Options menu from either the main or pause menu. Once you get there, go to the Camera tab. You can then adjust the following sliders:

Maximum Camera Speed for Normal Gameplay

Maximum Camera Speed When Aiming

Camera Acceleration for Normal Gameplay

Camera Acceleration When Aiming

4. From the same Options menu, you can then switch over to the Controls tab.

In the Controls tab, you can set Aim Assist to Snap or Snap and Follow.

By using Snap, the aiming reticle will immediately target the nearest target when you aim your weapon. With the Follow feature, the reticle will stay on the target even when it moves.

You can also adjust the camera speed when using aim assist with the Aim Assist Max Speed slider.

5. Also in the Controls tab, there is a slider named Reticle Deceleration, which slows down the aiming reticle when it is on a target.

We recommend setting this to the minimum if you haven’t done so already. Otherwise, the controls will feel sluggish when trying to aim at a different body part.

6. You should play around with the Maximum Camera Speed for Normal Gameplay, Maximum Camera Speed When Normal Gameplay, Camera Acceleration for Normal Gameplay, Camera Acceleration When Normal Gameplay, Aim Assist and Aim Assist Max Speed settings until aiming feels perfect.

7. If you have a DualSense Edge or Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, then you can use the advanced settings of these controllers to adjust the deadzones of the analog sticks. By doing so, you may be able to improve your aiming accuracy.

8. As we stated above, the sluggish aiming is a common complaint for Resident Evil 4 Remake. Therefore, you should make sure that you keep your game updated to the latest patch as Capcom may eventually fix these aiming problems.

How to record videos by using voice commands on PS5

Thanks to a new update, you are now able to use voice commands in order to tell your PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 5 Digital Edition console to record gameplay. To find out how you can use this new feature, you can take a look at this tutorial from Seeking Tech.

1. If you haven’t already, make sure your console has the latest system software installed as the ability to use your voice to start a gameplay recording was added through a firmware update.

To manually download and install the new system software, you can go to your PS5’s Settings menu and then select System > System Software > System Software Update and Settings > Update System Software > Update Using the Internet.

2. Next, you need to make sure that you have Voice Command enabled. This feature is currently available as a Preview in the U.S. and U.K.

If you are from those regions, then you need to open the Settings menu on your console and then select Voice Command > Enable Voice Command. Afterwards, turn on the Listen for Hey PlayStation feature from the same Voice Command menu.

3. If you want to specific the default length of the recorded videos, then you need to head to Settings > Captures and Broadcasts > Captures > Shortcuts for Create Button > Length of Recent Gameplay Clip. You can then pick between the following length options:

  • 15 seconds
  • 30 seconds
  • 1 minute
  • 3 minutes
  • 5 minutes
  • 15 minutes
  • 30 minutes
  • 1 hour

 

4. Of course, you should also make sure that you don’t have the microphone on your DualSense or headset muted. Otherwise, the PS5 won’t be able to listen and act out your voice commands.

5. If you want to capture your past gameplay, then you need to say the following:

“Hey PlayStation, capture that.”

The console should then capture your previous gameplay based on the time you set from the aforementioned Shortcuts for Create Button menu. For example, if you set the Length of Recent Gameplay Clip to 1 hour, then saying, “Hey PlayStation, capture that,” will tell the PS5 to capture the last hour of gameplay.

6. You can also manually start a recording session of your current gameplay. In order to do so, you need to say Hey PlayStation, start recording.”

To stop an active recording, you need to say, “Hey PlayStation, stop recording.”
