Perfectly serviceable but some animations make it plainly obvious this was meant to be a first person game.

 

[Spukc]

Will it have a raid mode like revelations 1&2? That shit was G O L D E N

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Perfectly serviceable but some animations make it plainly obvious this was meant to be a first person game.

I think the doors/corners are the most obvious about this, they are clearly built for first person peeking.

 

[rofif]

Serviceable at best.
Cutscenes are still 1st person for most part.
You cannot see the face for some stupid reason.
It's not on par with RE2 or 3

 

[Spukc]

this is hacky as fuck.
uninstalled it already
have played better fan mods

 

[Captain Toad]

An hour is misleading. That's the max time you have with it, but I finished in about 10-15 minutes.

 

[Rippa]

Two things I hate about the TPS view in the demo:

I hate that the reticle stays on screen even without aiming. I hope this is a glitch and it goes away at release.

I also hate that Ethan holds his hand up while holding the Knife/Gun once equipped and without aiming.

I don’t know if it’s worth $20 but obviously that’s without playing the DLC portion.

 

[Flabagast]

The third person view is very bad.

It shows that TPS and FPS are (obviously) two fundamentally very different types of design and you cannot make one game that fits the two views in a satisfying way. Rockstar games show this as well (although in their cases it’s the first person view that is much much worse)

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Has Ethan always breathed so loud?

If I am not mistaken you can remove the reticle, the game asks if you want it to stay on at the start.

 

[Business]

Sad to read the 3rd person implementation is lacking, I had high hopes for it.

 

[RoboFu]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

Hmm… I’m gonna have to reboot the demo and check again, I could’ve sworn I had that option turned off.

 

[tomato shrub]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

A vocal minority didn't stop crying about how 1st person killed the series, despite RE7 being Capcom's second highest selling release of all time.

 

[01011001]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

well it didn't have an FOV slider, leading to many people getting motion sick from the extremely narrow locked FOV of the game... (it was right at the edge for me personally)
I feel like having an FOV slider would have been the better and easier way to improve this for many but... yeah


different topic entirely:
did anyone else notice how the 3rd person mode has way better stick aiming than the main game? like it feels WAY better for some reason. it's almost like they completely reprogrammed it for this.

 

[peronmls]

Welp I was excited for 3rd person. Not anymore. I’ll wait for a sale.

 

[Rykan]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

Because Resident Evil going first person was a mistake and was only done to follow a trend. The series is now in an awkward position where some games are first person and some are third person. It's become so ridiculous that a First Person RE has DLC that can only be played in Third Person.

That's not to say that the first person RE games are bad, but they don't feel like RE at all.

On what platform?

 

[Kusarigama]

I think there might be an option to change that in settings.

 

[DavidGzz]

Yeah, the fact that the DLC is 3rd person gives me hope that RE9 will be in third person.

 

[KuraiShidosha]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

Because fools need parting with their money.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

They needed something for the gold edition and it was easy and cheap.

 

[Team Andromeda]

3rd Person view, just doesn't work for me

 

[rofif]

3rd Person view, just doesn't work for me

what don't you like about it?
It feels a bit awkard to me to it's also growing on me

 

[IDKFA]

Maybe RE9 will have the option of both first and third person, that way everybody is happy.

 

[Drizzlehell]

A vocal minority didn't stop crying about how 1st person killed the series, despite RE7 being Capcom's second highest selling release of all time.

I don't think that it's too much of a stretch to say that in most cases the "vocal minority" consists of absolute brainlets.

This is the single worst comment ever on Neogaf. Legit 0/10 tier.

It comes included with the DLC and Gold Edition and have you never heard of people suffering from motion sickness? Jesus Christ dude

 

[thekillergreece]

To be fair, the game was built for first-person mode from scratch. It was never designed to be a third-person shooter game until Capcom decided to test the waters.
So, for a game that was built for FPS, it tried decently to make a third-person mode.

 

[01011001]

On what platform?

Series X

 

[rofif]

Series X

The same on ps5. 1st person is a bit more sluggish.
Disable acceleration

 

[01011001]

The same on ps5. 1st person is a bit more sluggish.
Disable acceleration

I mean turning off acceleration is the first thing I do in every game (if allowed)
but using the same settings I used playing the main game, this 3rd person mode feels better.

I think I have to try the original version again and see if I'm correct.

 

[Rippa]

Just gonna leave that here I guess. Pretty high praise for TPS.

 

[adamsapple]

Why did it need a third person mode again?

Because a lot of folks whined about it.

Also the Shadow of Rose DLC is third person only, so probably to bring the entire package to parity.

 

[NeonGhost]

I prefer the third person mode

 

[Mr Hyde]

Tried the demo and loved it. Third person is the way to go in RE. Gonna start a new playthrough when the expansion drops. I gave up after Castle Dimitrescu. The game was awesome but it will be even more awesome in third person

Oh, the DLC and Special edition, you don't say? Not some free update to the game then? Hmmmmmmmmm

 

[Klik]

Its available on Steam too, great. Thanks

 

[rofif]

So I have the pc version and I am trying to decide if I want to get the dlc on steam or ps5. I would like to check out ps5 verison, dualsense, 3d audio and so on.
But ... I've seen somewhere that the DLC (the whole winters expansion so Rose + 3rd person?) is only a voucher in the box?! And the disc is just vanilla game ?!?!?! What are they thinking !!!!!
I would've hoped that at least 3rd person mode was on the disc.
If that's the case, then I can get the cheap vanilla village disc+dlc on psn quite a bit cheaper or just get it on pc and dont bother with this crap

 

[Nankatsu]

Question: will the gold edition have a free upgrade for the PSVR2 version or will you have to pay for it once again separately?
