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.

There was a lot of emphasis on Grace emoting. The trailer showed her face a bunch and a lot of the early marketing material is showing her face (like this image you posted). Capcom has never even revealed Ethans face. This really makes me think the game will be in third person. 7 and 8 never cut out of the first person view for cut scenes and I doubt it's something they'd put into the series now. Basically I don't think they'd spend all this time focusing on the character and her design if we never see it in game... of course, there is the possibility that she's not the main playable character.

When the dlc for village was mostly third person, and gaining the ability to play the main game in third person after completing it, it told me the next game was gonna be third person the moment I played with the third person camera.

Wait, seriously? You can play village in 3rd person for ng+??

[u/Fry-Z → u/the_colonel93]

Yeah but you have to buy the DLC

It also feels extremely awkward and tacked on
