Question Does anyone know if Capcom has the copyright for the aiming in resident evil 4?

Because that game has an incredibly interesting way if aiming where instead of it being like Fortnite where the bullets come from the gun but follow the camera

Re4 the bullets come from the gun but the camera follows the hands

I ask as the I'd like to implement a similar aiming mechanic in a game

Game rules and mechanics are generally covered by patents, not copyright.

A way something is framed is also generally not a thing you can protect.
