[Ellery]

Third Person.

Most of the reason is motion sickness, but there is also this element of me that thinks first person player are idiots like FIFA Players and COD players. It is just an unreasonable association on my end I understand, but it is still present when I hear, read, see or play games and think about people sitting very close to the monitor with a super low FoV and controller in their hand hyperactively smashing their buttons and never aim up or down only sideways.

As it is meant to be played :

Jokes aside, RE2 remake scared me so much at the time i skipped 7 and Village altogether, so it will be third person for me (plus i simply cannot afford to shit myself with such an expensive figurine in the ass).

 

[ssringo]

Wasn't there a statement that it would have a recommended view depending on where in the game you were or am I imagining that?

If so I'll just use that. Any replays will be in 3rd person though.

 

[Solarstrike]

With no pants

 

[NikuNashi]

Third person.

Because I am a Resident Evil fan since day 1.

 

[VitoNotVito]

Third person. Obviously.

 

[Sooner]

Whichever the game seems designed to be played as, so likely first. Although, I prefer third-person games.

 

[GrayChild]

To everyone saying "third person, because that's what RE has always been before 7":

Weren't you supposed to boycott the series after they ditched the fixed camera angles, the main staple of the franchise for almost a decade?

 

[Certinty]

Resident Evil is and always has been a third person franchise for me, exactly why I never played through 7 and 8. So most definitely third person.

 

[I'm nobody]

Both but would like vr

 

[forsakkenSoul]

Probably in third person because of the mods.

 

[Punished Miku]

Probably switch between them constantly, similar to Bethesda games. 3rd person for spatial awareness when running, boss fights, long distance combat or combat against multiple enemies. 1st person for up close inspection of rooms, up close combat against a single enemy.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

If I can change stuff like FOV possibly first person but if not third so I voted both.

If it's as easy to switch as they make it seem then maybe I'll switch back and forth anyway.

 

[Lokaum D+]

First person all day

 

[Arachnid]

Virgin first person players after they finishing wacking it to their slow pan shitty immersion breaking floating camera:

 

[Diddy X]

I honestly lol everytime some mentions RE being tipycally a third person saga like that's an argument at all.


I'll play it in 1st person and maybe second run in third person, but 1st person is preferred for the horror factor.

 

[Matsuchezz]

i am tempted to sell my switch 2 and buy the vr2 to experience it in VR.

 

[simpatico]

Third person if it's not tacked on. Probably switching to first for certain parts.

 

[Represent.]

1st Person. Not a fan of the camera and animation work in 3rd person for this game. 1st looks WAY more immersive.

Its clear the game was designed around 1st person, and 3rd was a tack on. Like Call of Duty

 

[HYDE]

I will play it later on a steep deep discount.
Fuck first person view

 

[HYDE]

The game is designed with first person in mind.

Unfortunately

 

[TGO]

First Playthrough = 3rd Person
Second Playthrough = VR
First Person without VR? Never

 

[Pejo]

First Playthrough = 3rd Person
Second Playthrough = VR
First Person without VR? Never

Did they announce VR support officially?

 

[TGO]

Did they announce VR support officially?

Nope but it would be weird if it didn't, and if it doesn't then the First Person part of RE with like it's Zombies will rot and die.

Let's be real here, the first person RE games actually kinda suck without VR.
They're not scary and running on the spot because a box on the floor is obstructing your character that you can't see that isn't a problem with 3rd person or VR isn't immersive.
If anything, First Person on a 2D plane with field view of your TV screen kinda breaks it.
It's more immersive to watch a character like a camera following or actually be within the 3D space.

 

[R6Rider]

VR if possible.

 

[Jigsaah]

Definitely 3rd...though VII is probably my favorite Resident Evil

 

[powder]

probably on the couch

 

[El Muerto]

First person for the immersion. Third person is for action games. Being chased by someone and watching your back while running forward ruins the tension.

 

[Unknown?]

Is this not VR?

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

Mostly third person and switching to first when I want a closer look at some items or details in a room.

 

[Memati187]

I will try to play with both hands, lately my left hand drifts southwards without any notice. It's strange, it started after playing stellar blade.

 

[diffusionx]

I hate that I have to choose

 

[Arachnid]

Did they announce VR support officially?

Not officially, but RE 4, 7 and 8 all had VR. This dev team is a mix of 4 and 7/8's. The project lead is 7/8. Don't see it not supporting VR

Which is the only way I'll touch first person, waaaaay down the line.

 

[AngelMuffin]

4th person…on YouTube.

 

[Memati187]

4th person…on YouTube.

That's more like cucked person.

 

[kevboard]

1st Person. Not a fan of the camera and animation work in 3rd person for this game. 1st looks WAY more immersive.

Its clear the game was designed around 1st person, and 3rd was a tack on. Like Call of Duty

I'll only play first person if they finally add an FOV slider. RE8 made me nauseous at times due to the low FOV.

also, for some reason, RE8 plays way better in 3rd person than in 1st person. somehow the stick aiming in 3rd person is actually competently done, while it's absolutely awful in 1st person.

 

[Danjin44]

For me it's 3rd person, I hate floating camera feel in first person games. I want to see animation of the character I'm controlling.

 

[Robb]

If the 3rd person mode is good I'll go for that. Otherwise I'll just skip the game entirely like with the other first-person RE games.

 

[Spukc]

On the ps5 pro

 

[Soodanim]

I preferred 1st person in the footage I saw, so that's what I'll go with to start. But I'm sure there will be moments I feel like changing it up.

 

[JimmyRustler]

For the steathy horror section prolly First Person. For the shooting (which will be there inevitably) 3rd person.

 

[Dafegamer]

I'm used to both by now, but the TP mode surprisingly looks good.

 

[Kupfer]

Will there be PSVR2 from start?

 

[Rickyiez]

3rd person because of motion sickness . I love that there is a choice

 

[struggler_guts]

Where's my muhfuckkin option for VR!?

DONT GIVE ME NO BAD NEWS NOW

 

[dragonyeuw]

As with Village I'll play both, which POV I use for my first playthrough will come down to what I'm feeling when the time comes.
