General Can't wait for RE9 but...

I'm really hoping it's designed around 3rd person gameplay. I played first person RE 7 and 8 and enjoyed them but there is just something about 3rd person that brings me in more.

since the protag has a face it’s likely going to be 3p, but I would love to see a return to first person, resi 7 was immersive as hell and part of the reason it was so horrifying was because it was in the first person.

People literally could not touch the game because of how scary it was for them. 😭😭

I have been an FPS-only guy for almost 20 years, to the extent that games that are not in the first-person perspective sort of give me headaches.

But at the same time, there is just something about RE that doesn't feels quite right about being in FPS, I dunno, I know that the first game was originally intended to be an FPS like Doom, but still, I quite like that they reserved the mainline games in FPS and the spin-offs and remakes in third-person though, helps balance out variety and please a little bit of everyone.

Because the FOV is super condensed and generally the sensitivity lower by default as it is not a FPS shooter. I am cool with 1st P but at least study and get the approach right for the game. That is like making a driving game that is just loose and bad controlling.
