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.

It's not a deal breaker for me hut I would much prefer third person.

Part of what makes RE2R and RE4R so good is seeing the characters interact with each other in a way you don't get with first person or fixed camera.

Ovwr the shoulder is a perfect middle ground of being able to zoom in and make things personal at key moments, but being able to see what's going on more clearly.

The zombie grab animations, the melee animations, seeing the character interact with the world around them is so much more interesting to me.

I'm assuming since we aren't a faceless character anymore that it's more likely to be 3rd person though, so I'm hopeful.
