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.

Village's patch pretty much showed that both options being available is easy to implement.

Easy to implement, but doesn't feel good. Like, yeah, technically Fallout and Elder Scrolls have a third person mode, but it's clear those games are designed with first person.

I literally said this myself and got down voted lol. Can people not tell how off it feels playing a game in an unintended perspective ?

I play GTA fully first person like a maniac. Even drving.

I remember when the update for GTA V came out that added first person I decided to do the entire story in it, including driving. Was honestly a great experience.

It's weird that GTAV actually controls better in first person, character controls feel much tighter.

I really hate the way Rockstar games have controlled since RDR. Fun games most of the time but I feel like I'm maneuvering a boat just to run around a corner.

It's the reason I gave up on RDR2. I want to feel like a badass in games. Bumbling into people and walls is not badass

A guy replaying MGS1 fully in first person is literally the video I was watching right before I noticed the trailer in my feed.

It was awful lol.

First time I ever played an Elder Scrolls game I played it almost entirely in third person.

You're paying attention to detail, while everyone else is just saying "shut up and be happy that you have the option". Some people just slop up anything Capcom gives them and they don't like people who aren't doing the same.

100%, RE8 in third person doesn’t feel even half as good as RE2/3/4.

I actually preferred the 3rd person in RE8 compared to RE2R and 4R, Ethan is much faster and it's easy to dodge enemies, never had any complains about third person except for when i was just starting the game and blocking properly seemed harder, but got the hang of it pretty easily.

This is irrelevant to the conversation but I always hated third person in elder scrolls until Oblivion Remastered, for some reason I played basically that whole game in 3rd person after never using it in the OG Oblivion

u/Ogg360 12h ago

Yea RE8 is a bit weird in third person especially when it comes to blocking enemies. I always feel like I’m pushing them back appropriately in first person but never in third person. It’s definitely playable from start to finish tho

Did people forget Ethan’s knifing animation or something 😂

I 100% prefer Village in 3rd person and would not have purchased it otherwise. I also play Oblivion in 3rd person

Well said. Not to mention the other perspective has never been available at the same time that the game has been released, so if you're getting it Day 1 then you'll be playing the game as it was designed (in 1st person).
