Will you buy Resident Evil 8 if it’s first person?

[Sword Familiar]

Yes. I will be a bit disappointed, but yes.

 

[Modest_Modsoul]

No.

 

[InfiniDragon]

Yep. 7 was a great game.

I prefer RE4 style like REmake 2, but it won't stop me for a moment from buying it day 1.

 

[ffvorax]

I will buy it if its a good game...

 

[danmaku]

I'll buy it if it has VR support. If they make another game in the vein of REmake 2 I'll skip it. 3rd person is fine for action RE but not for horror RE.

 

[callamp]

RE7 was my personal GotY. If they maintain that quality, then it is an easy day one purchase for me.

 

[toad02]

First person + VR please

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

If it's good, sure, but then again I didn't find RE7 appealing(I don't think it was related to the perspective) at all while REmake 2 is one of my favorite games of all time already.

 

[AniHawk]

absolutely. re7 was fucking great

 

[Couscous]

Yeah, RE7 is a really good game and if RE8 is of the same quality I see no reason not to buy it.

 

[Chimpzy]

If it's also a good game, aka the only thing that actually matters to me, sure, I'd buy it.

 

[Blackbird]

Definitely, i really love the approaches from both RE2 and 7, but i still have a special place in my heart for the Baker family.

It basically brought me back to Resident Evil and made me feel enthusiastic about gaming in a way that only 4 had, way in the past. Can't wait for the future of both FP and OTS RE, for sure.

 

[Goro Majima]

I have motion sickness in first person games, so unfortunately no, I will not buy it.

 

[lvl 99 Pixel]

I hope they alternate between first person and third to keep it fresh, since both are great.

 

[ResistCritical]

Day 1!

Their 1st RE for the current gen took 2x huge risks: VR & First-person perspective. What an amazing ride!

 

[skeezx]

really doubt it'll go first person again, seems RE2make is the direction the winds are blowing. but i would prefer they continue RE7's direction if up to me.

though ultimately it's whatever

 

[KORNdog]

As long as it's like RE7, definitely, especially if it's VR too. If it's turned into some action focused FPS, then no.

 

[aerie]

Yes, definitely. I'm really hoping it builds of Resident Evil 7's ideas. I think there was a formula there that with a little bit of refinement could make for a really amazing game. I'm not going to be too put off if it's not first person though, but i'm hoping it is.

 

[DSP]

Fps or not, if it's like RE7 no I won't buy it. I just don't care about heavily scripted jump scare games. I'm interested in resource management and strategic aspect of dealing with enemies that RE has. RE7 was terrible for any combat scenario.

 

[Visanideth]

I'll wait for a discount. I foundt RE7 to be less than stellar, and FP isn't really my preference, so I can wait.

 

[apocat]

I will only buy it if it is a first person game that is VR enabled.

 

[philstorm95]

I will buy it, but i will not be happy

 

[Shazz]

No.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

It's a sequel to the game that brought RE back to the top where it belongs and is using the same new gameplay style it used to get there. Of course I'm gonna be there day 1.

If RE8 is not first person I will be bitching and moaning about it I can assure you.

 

[Z-Brownie]

beside RE1RE (didn`t played 2 yet), is the best RE experience i ever had, and i play the series since the first release on ps1.

 

[Techno]

No, I still haven't bought RE7 yet but I bought RE2 day one.

 

[Kingpin Rogers]

I'd be disappointed but I wouldn't write it off completely. I thought 7 was decent but it doesn't hold a candle to REmake 2.

 

[HotAndTender]

100% yes. RE is finally the RE that i love. 5 and 6 put me off terribly so now they're actually scary and have huge horror elements i'd have to get it day 1.
1st Person is just another way for them to scare me and i love it.

 

[VN1X]

So this might seem like a weird or redundant topic but it's something I've been curious about.

I see a lot of debate about which style people want the next Resident Evil but I'm curious how much that style affects the people's decision to purchase it.

I'll be honest, if RE8 is first person I'm probably not going to get it. Or at least I'm I'm going to wait a good while to get around to it when it's heavily discounted.

I'm just curious how others feel.

Perspective has no bearing on whether or not the game will actually be decent. The fuck is this?

 

[R0b1n]

I won't mind either way, but I do prefer third person

I have never bought RE day 1 though

 

[Kromeo]

Yes, I'm not a fan of first person in a lot of genres but I think it works well for horror games, I'll be happy either way

 

[Deleted member 15447]

As much as I love psvr I'd prefer a first person RE to not have VR if the main game is going to be slightly catered with it in mind.

I feel like the boss fights really suffered having to be playable in VR.

 

[Son of Sparda]

I'll buy it, but I won't be as excited about it as I was for RE2.

 

[Servbot24]

I buy games based on quality, not on their camera.

 

[Deleted member 26746]

Yes. if it supoorts VR. If not 3rd person view.

 

[Hate]

If it has the name Resident Evil, I will buy it nonetheless.

The brand has been consistently good throughout it's life that you're at least guaranteed to have a good time. Strictly speaking about mainline games.

 

[Deleted member 4976]

I prefer OTS, but I enjoyed RE7 tremendously, so I'd be day 1 with FPS as well.

 

[MonadL]

Nah I don't think so. For whatever reason I had absolutely no desire to play RE7 despite the great reviews.

 

[Cyborg]

I didn't play RE7 but RE2: R plays so good.

Love it.

 

[thepenguin55]

If RE8 is not first person I will be bitching and moaning about it I can assure you.

Click to shrink...

You certainly wouldn't be the first person to do that in a RE thread. lol

 

[thepenguin55]

Whoops double post!

 

[Thorrgal]

I'd prefer it to be first person tbh

 

[Yaqoub]

Of course. They nailed first person so well in 7 and especially in VR I'm definitely down for another one of those.

 

[Monkeynuts]

After the one two punch of Resi 7 and Remake 2 Capcom has my trust and money. I'm all in on Resi 8 day 1 whatever shape it takes

 

[Truant]

Yes. Capcom has delivered like crazy this generation. I fully support them until I see very clear reasons not to (another RE5/6).

 

[Almagest]

Probably.

But it'll give me some pause, I love third person RE.

Maybe Capcom should consider going the Evil Within 2 route and offer toogable first and third person modes.

 

[Zelas]

I'd be fine with either. It all depends on what style of game they want to make RE8 though. A game with more action or a game that leans hard into immersion + being another great vr title. I'd lean toward the latter.

 

[Odeko]

Perspective has no bearing on whether or not the game will actually be decent. The fuck is this?

Click to shrink...

No one said it did

 

[IvanSlavkov]

Day 1 and if there is VR support again, I'll even pre order. 7 was excellent and the only "issue" I had with game was that ther were no zombies.

 

[Yautja_Warrior]

Give me 1st Person and give me more of that fucking awesome VR immersion.
