Will you buy Resident Evil 8 if it’s first person?
- Thread starter Gold Arsene
- Start date
Of course. It'd have to be the lowest of the low for me not to buy it. I didn't pick up that action game after Operation Racoon City (whatever it was) and the Dead Aim games but I've played pretty much every one of them.
And 7 was fantastic, despite the ending levels.

After playing RE2 I wanted another third person game but if they do RE3 then I'll still get my fix. I went back and played 7 after 2 and I loved it even though I still prefer third person. I'll take first person if they can keep the quality equal or higher than in 7. Day 1.
i mean i expect it to be. they have their remake series for at least another 3 games (possibly 4) for the over the shoulder action
Considering how much RE6 has sold and continues to sell, I'd say it's hardly an unpopular opinion :p
Nope. They tricked me once with RE7 won't happen again. I like FPS games, and that's probably my biggest problem, a game that plays like RE in a first person perspective just feels like shit. It's way too slow, and the answer for a Resident Evil game isn't just to make it faster.
I think the market can easily support both, maybe in the same year. A camp and possibly coop RE series and the dead serious first person game.
Survival horror has wide appeal and probably realistic budgets, similar to horror movies.

First person is not a deal breaker. However, I would prefer 3rd person. I thought 7 was okay, and I enjoyed parts of it, but I didn't find the scenes built around the perspective (and more accurately, VR) to be compelling. I'm glad RE2 wasn't handled this way.
Despite people being hyped around RE2, I think RE7 is a much better game. So off course I am going to play it.
While I usually don't care for most FPSes?
I would admit that something closer to Doom (2016)/Eternal would get my interest. But at the very least, they just need to make up their minds. The second half of the main campaign, and especially the "Not a Hero" and "End of Zoe" DLC both seemed to suggest that Capcom was willing to flirt with the idea of a full-blown "action RE" in first person. So, just go for it, then, if that's the case.
I like this. I could live with this so long as they release one from each pillar before working on different project within that same pillar.
I'm not going to buy it just because it's first-person, but I'm far less likely to buy another third-person game from them if they don't fix the keyboard and mouse controls in RE2 (RE7 was fine).
When the first-person mod was released for the game, it made me realize that the perspective certainly played a role in getting bored and dropping the game 2/3 through "Leon A". Though the mod has issues and it's not a way that I actually want to play through the entire game (yet), what I did play was far more engaging than everything else up to that point.
I lose interest in third-person games a lot easier than first-person. Probably because there is no direct connection to what is happening on-screen, so they are not immersive at all.

I'd much prefer it. The over the shoulder cam is what has primarily driven me away from RE2make. I'd rather the series not be homogenized in such a manner.
I wont play it even free as I have motion sickness that prevents me from enjoying FP games
I am all for Developer full freedom , but I of course hope RE8 isnt FP

I prefer third person; but really as long as the game is good it doesn't matter. I didn't vote because between third person and first person it doesn't effect my decision. Only care if the game is fun.
What's with all the threads about RE8 and first / third person lately?!
I want it third person like RE2R... but of course I will buy it day 1 anyway even first person.

I've never understood the weight people place on camera perspectives. I enjoy first-person, third-person, isometric, top-down, side-scrolling, fixed camera angles... whatever works best for the game is fine with me. Boycotting a game because of its camera seems absurd.
I won't like it if it is....but i'll still play it. Hoping i can unlock a third person camera mode.
Please god be third person
I'd buy it day one. But I'd also buy it day 1 if it's OTS or fixed camera. I wasn't a big fan of the back half of RE7, but I'd love to see how they can improve on that formula. Fix the pacing and lack of enemy variety, and RE8 could be something special, even in first person.
Resident Evil is Resident Evil. It'll be amazing no matter the camera angle. Day 1 for me, RE7 is fantastic but they can still learn from it and improve further. I say give it another go.
I will just so long as it stays classic survival horror like 7 and RE2make and doesn't go action again however unlikely that may be. Still prefer the standard 3rd person/over the shoulder but RE7 first person grew on me and I play very very few first person games.
Nope. Didn't get RE7 for that reason. (that and the game seem more like its own entry).
If Capcom hates money they can go ahead and make RE 7 all over again.

Heck yeah. 7 is probably my second favorite RE after 4. I don't mind either 1st of 3rd person perspective. so I'm good either way.
So many Resi threads lately, Whether it's REmake 3 or RE8, Their both miles away anyway. So why not support the series as a whole?
VR made RE7 the best gaming experience you can have, so id Ben there's day 1 for RE8 if it does the same.

Sure, even though I much prefer third person RE games I still really enjoyed RE7.
No love for RE2 Remake?

Either one, first or third person is fine with me but if it's first person it HAS to be in VR again, no excuses. That's a forever thing with the franchise from now on as far as I'm concerned, it was that amazing of an experience for me.
Here's the thing, as someone who's loved the franchise since day 1, after resi 7 I will only buy it if it's first person and VR.
I can't even get into Resi 2 because the lack of it all :( such a waste.
