Fixed Camera RE?
Third Person over the shoulder?
First Person?

For me the fixed camera ala the old ones are my favorite. The third person is second and first-person is my least favorite.

Seeing these videos of fixed camera mods for the RE7 and RE3 remake makes me go :ohlawd:

All of them have some fantastic strengths. RE:Remake was built so perfectly around those tank controls that I really can’t imagine playing it any other way.

The immersive nature of RE7 was truly frightening at a time. I didn’t think a first person RE7 would work but it truly did heighten the tension for me.

It’s hard for me. RE4 was one of my most memorable gaming experiences ever too.

I need to think on it.

1st person RE is kind of a miss imo

without spoiling too much, the end stretch of RE8 really showed off why it can't work with what they try to do at times. if they're going to keep manufacturing tension by forcing narrow FOV and slow movement, then you can't really lean on combat heavy bosses and expect the best possible experience there

the fixed camera can work if done right and they've nailed the third person stuff now but if its first person/VR they should stick to the PT-ish sections they had in 7 and 8 :yeshrug:

RE2 Remake is the perfect Resident Evil game. Third person over the shoulder survival horror, but the combat controls work fluidly.

RE4 was too much of an action game for my liking, and Resident Evil in first person is :francis:.

I fired up RE3 remake and it just feels like I'm right at home. I loved RE2 remake and R3Make to an extent but Village was ight if I had to keep it real. I wouldn't mind if Capcom made a side spin-off RE game with fixed camera just to appease the older fans.

3rd person is my preference. when i was a kid playing RE2 with tank controls, i was wishing it was 3rd person. i never played 7 or 8, but i can imagine that it is just not what i feel RE is about, even if well-made.

the fixed camera, and pre-rendered backgrounds, really just represent the limitations of the tech at the time.
