These are wrong? I need an option for 3rd and fixed. I just dislike 1st so much. It doesn’t work for me in RE. You aren’t a nameless protag in RE games. Anyway question should be one of those weighted stongly like/strongly dislike questions.

Tbh, I would love to see modern studios with huge art budgets doing the same fixed camera stuff they used to do because the art they used for the background scenes would probably be incredible.

Honestly, I prefer third-person but would love to have a mode where it swaps to fixed camera angles. It's probably not as easy to program as the FPS/TPS switch that 8/9 had, but would be a good way to keep your modern audience and celebrate the classic style.

interestingly enough this game exists it's called cold fear its a resident evil clone set on a ship and it has code veronica style fixed camera angles (but with spatial movement rather than pre-rendered backgrounds) and then when you aim it goes into an RE4 style aim mode

Oh yeah! I haven't played it yet, but I definitely remember seeing snippets of the game over the years. I was thinking more of, like, a toggle in the settings or a choice at the start of the game, but Cold Fear's way of handling it was certainly unique.

I prefer second person, I think there should literally be a guy following you with about 8 feet back with a camera and what's worse is sometimes he gets distracted or tries to get a "cool shot" and you just can't fucking see your character for a second.

RNG camera. Every few minutes boom, new angle. When will it happen? Will it be fixed? Will it be under the god damn floor? Enemy perspective? How... evil.
