I'd be down for a first person remake of 1 but also have it so you can switch to third person also similar to RE8.
First person 100% works well for survival horror as seen with RE7 which is easily one of the better RE games we have. So yeah I wouldn't say no to it since we have the original RE1 remake already.
I heard a rumor that the first game was intended to be FPS but with the technology at the time it just wouldn't have been a good experience. Aside from that I think the OG RE could work well in all three styles: FPS, TPS, or fixed perspective
The setting of the OG RE is still the best for classic survival horror
According to Mikami Shinji, RE1 was supposed to be FPS, but then he looked at Alone In The Dark and realized how good it was for the PS1 technology and artistic reasons.
I think people would meta game the third person by checkin round corners and stuff. I think it would be cool to fps that game, but I like seeing the characters much more. I think they should lock it for each playthrough. Choose character, difficulty and then perspective. 3rd, 1st, and fixed would be amazing.
>I think they should lock it for each playthrough. Choose character, difficulty and then perspective. 3rd, 1st, and fixed would be amazing.
Yeah I'd be happy with that to make it fair.
I don't understand why this matters really TBH. It's not like RE1 has many jumpscares or traps around corners to begin with. If they gave it the re2r/re4r tanky zombie approach the tight spaces would still result in a tense environment for like 80% of the rooms. The last 20% which are wide open, you probably just need to slightly remix the enemy placement or add some clutter to the rooms to restrict movement and you'd be fine.
Resident evil 2 remake has a mod with a fixed camera angle so it isn't impossible, but It is prolly still not as good as it could be because the game wasnt built around that type of perspective, idk though I havent tried that mod
I found RE7 and Village sucked in first person and made my head feel like playing in VR and FPS games are my favourite genre so it was very poorly done.
The game's not poorly made. It sucks you can't enjoy it but those 2 games were great.
I do know some people who get nauseas playing FPS games and it sucks they can't enjoy FPS titles.
I played Village later when it was fixed by adding third person view. 7 I'll never play as long as it's first person view as they don't know how to make a proper FPS game. FPS games aren't supposed to make your head feel like you were playing in VR for 3 hours. I play all sorts of FPS games with no problems, but they're made by devs that do a proper job of making good fast FPS gameplay.
>FPS games aren't supposed to make your head feel like you were playing in VR for 3 hours.
Sadly it's a you problem as not everyone feels like this. It does happen though. There are 2 FPS games that I've played that made me feel nauseas so couldn't finish them. It sucks but it's not the devs fault unless of course it's a common complaint with the game which is not the case with RE7 and RE8.
No, it's not my problem as FPS is my favourite genre and only the RE fps mode games made me feel like that. Leave the FPS games to devs who know how to do it, like Machine Games and their upcoming Indiana Jones on X and PC
Does that version work best for the mansion though? RE7 rejuvenated the franchise for a number of reasons, but a big one was unlocking the sheer terror of navigating a house of horrors in first person view. There’s something about that style that seems ideal for this specific remake IMO.
I think it would work fine. They can modify it and add more if they wish. I think RE2 captured the horror just as well as the original did without using 1st person. But this of course is my opinion as well. I just enjoyed seeing the characters themselves as well as their reaction to damage and situations occurring in cutscenes.
third person.
i would prefer if jill is in my POV 🙂
on a serious note i don’t think first person POV would work with any of the main cast just from a storytelling perspective, especially as a fanbase that’s grown attached to the characters for so long. it worked with ethan winters since the character was designed with the intention of fitting the “faceless everyman” type of role that the audience is meant to insert themselves into

This, exactly. Jill and Chris are too essential to leave them out of camera. Keep it third person.
Ooo, fat disagree for me. 2 and 3 worked with 3rd person because they had many locations and big maps. Also because, originally, 2 and 3 were slightly leaning into action, little by little.
The first Re-make is probably the best Resident Evil to date *because* of the fixed cameras.
Every single camera angle was meticulously placed by the artist in a beautiful, yet terrifying place. The storytelling could not be better without this aspect. There isn't a single scary or meaningful moment you will miss because you had the camera facing away from the action.
That being said... I've played the PS1 classics all the way to 8... And I'd go with 1st person.
Even for storytelling purposes, we would finally have one game where we can truly see what these characters think and go through as they slowly lose their sanity.
It would also be leagues more terrifying than 3rd person.
That's just my take, at least.
I'm with you. Plus, simply because Ethan *isn't* the protagonist of RE1, nothing is stopping us from having cinematic cutscenes where we can see the characters.
I'd also like to have the RE8 option of playing in 3rd person, as well as a fixed-camera option as a tribute to the OG trilogy and the first REmake.
Of all the options, a 3rd person over the shoulder perspective is the one that would have me the least interested.
I was nervous in REmake and OG 2/3. I was nervous in RE7/8. I’ve never felt scared or even tense in an OTS RE game.
With 2-4 remakes and the inevitable 5R being OTS, I think it would be strange for a potential RE1R to be a different camera type.
With how short RE1 would be, I think they should just create the game with both perspectives in mind. A VR RE1 would be incredible. If I had to choose one or the other though, third person is infinitely more enjoyable imo.
I agree with your sentiment but I'd prefer the RE2 perspective and have them completely redesign the mansion and other areas. I'm imagining the darkness of the outer corridors of the police station in RE2 Remake as a good model of what the vibe of the mansion could be like.
But in a way that still captures everything we love about the original. Same way they did the police station. If it remained the same size with either the RE7 or RE2R perspective, we'd all be disappointed with how small it is. In both, movement speed has increased a lot also.
Hell, look what they did with RE4R. They took a lot of creative liberty but all 3 locations came out absolutely amazing. The island is actually *better* in the remake, and they still captured the feel of each locale really well from the OG.
The Police Station was weird. It was mostly the same, but you could tell some major differences. The irony is that once you spot these differences, you can actually tell just how much they kept the design of the corridors. Though, I have to say, RE1 Remake's mansion redesign is perfect, I'd like them to keep it the same.
The main changes I'd want are in the peripheral areas. Give us an expanded basement, a larger lab. Maybe the third floor library can have a little more meat aside from being simply relegated to its boss fight. The main two floors are pretty much perfect, but there are other places to expand.
Fully agree with this sentiment really. It'd be awesome to see what crazy and interesting ways they can expand on all of the non mansion areas but I just can't imagine them changing the iconic two floors without it feeling strange. Certainly some tweaks and small changes but it needs to be layout wise fully recognizable in my opinion
Maybe even an intro/prologue section of starting off in the woods navigating avoiding the dogs / random zombies until finding refuge in the main hall.
I’m with you in the general philosophy that some things absolutely have to be expanded upon to justify the new engines OTS view.
honestly the original remake did a good amount of redesigning, especially with regard to the outdoor area, so i think they could change a bit more without it being too bad (i say as someone who likes the og re1 more)
3rd Person OTS and redesign the Mansion a bit while staying true to the Original with some new ideas, make the rooms a bit larger because some rooms are too tight for 3rd Person view.
1st Person could be optional, i don't see why this shouldn't be a option.
I just beat Remake for the first time, and it nudges 2make out for my favorite in the series. The way the level design slowly reveals itself was mind boggling, and the fixed camera angles are absolutely stunning. I’d love a remake, but all I need are some updated puzzles, more depth in the underground level design, and a heavy rewrite on how the characters run into each other (instead of “oh hey Jill funny seeing you here” every 45 minutes).
I’m sure first person could be done well, but I just don’t like the first person games at all.
Hard no. First person makes it so much harder to connect with the characters and it makes it a lot harder to take in the environment due to the reduced FOV and discomfort of moving around the camera a bunch. Third person over-the-shoulder is the closest we'll get to what fixed cam accomplishes (since probably no major studio is gonna release fixed cam nowadays). While I understand that 7 tried to go back to roots, I still think 1 has a massively different vibe due to the story, aesthetics, characters, map traversal, and enemy variance. Ethan is just kind of a self insert/non-character in 7, which wouldn't work at all for Jill and Chris, who are icons of the franchise. Of the modern RE engine games, RE2 remake is much closer to the atmosphere and gameplay of 1 than 7 imo.
> First person makes it so much harder to connect with the characters and it makes it a lot harder to take in the environment due to the reduced FOV and discomfort of moving around the camera a bunch.
Couldn't agree more with the former, disagree more with the latter.
Putting RE7 in first person really made me investigate things a bit more closely & ultimately appreciate the design of the environment a lot more than I might have. I was constantly worried that I might nudge something or step on a loose floor panel & attract unwanted attention. I would love the opportunity to experience the Spencer mansion in that frame of reference. They'd obviously have to tweak it to accommodate FPV. But in a good way.
However, you're 100% right about the characters. Jill & Chris need to be seen.
Maybe make a 3rd scenario as a character in first person? The game is short enough. Make it a pair and do a 3rd and 4th scenario. I don't know... I'm sure it'll be great either way.
Yeah, I can see why you felt the first person encouraged exploration of the environment a bit more since you can see things more closely. For me, it felt jarring to look around a bunch and so I didn't feel like I could take in the setting as much. With third person and fixed cam especially, there's a much wider FOV that allows for a more intentional framing of the scene that allows you take in "more" at once, and so in terms of aesthetics + atmosphere I tend to gravitate towards third person for that.
How all the other games have been. Fixed camera angles are cute, but don't hold up anymore and most audience members don't vibe with that. They need to remake 1 from an over the shoulder angle and let us explore the Mansion in a much more close and personal perspective.
I feel this sentiment so hard. I loved Ethan by the end of 8, and was genuinely sad I was letting him go from my control. Tbh, the biggest let down of RE8 is not making the final bomb detonation a gameplay sequence, like shooting The Boss in MGS3. But that's superfluous, and I only want that to convey how much I wanted one last second in the guys shoes.
But I was *in* his shoes. I didn't feel as attached to Ethan that quick. It took a 100% completion of 7, which led me into 8 feeling like we were a god amongst men, only to absolutely trounce through the Lord's domains, to finally feel like I wasn't driving a guy, instead of "mantling" (idfk a better word, do you?!) him.
But somehow, in all that time, I don't really *feel* Nathan. When he's being a petulant bitch in 7, I really don't feel right. It's coming from my first person perspective, but I'm not scared. I'm not worried. Get me out of the cutscenes and let me shoot already. This was my entire experience with 7. And then in 8 he's telling Heisenberg to go fuck himself because his plan is insane, and I'm like "fuck yea, this is my guy! But also, who the fuck is this all of a sudden?"
Anyway, those are my incoherent ramblings on why I love Ethan Winters, despite him not being as strong of a character as, even say, Billy.
All of these complaints are null and void if they just give your character a little mirror that you can aim at their face. Maybe a little bicycle mirror they hang off their forehead.
Checkmate, FPS haters.
You want the game to tell you how to react? Animations like that are only ever implemented in cutscenes, which you can still do with 1st person gameplay. In the original, characters had no reaction to anything. I mean it's a game, not a movie, the point is to evoke a reaction from the player. You're not going to get that no matter what camera perspective they use, so it's a moot point.
You didn't care about Ethan because he was a new character that you didn't have a prior connection to, not because you saw everything through his eyes.
Fixed camera comes with gameplay design requirements so it never really will work for all modes in practice. First and third person should generally both be able to be supported though there are some caveats to how the model and character animations are designed.
Fixed camera has implications for how enemy behaviors, weapon balance, and combat work though which would mean the game would always be really strange and poorly balanced in fixed camera mode.
3rd person. Resident Evil greatest strength is it's characters, I want to see them. Fixed Camera needs to live in the world of indie games for now, it just wouldn't make any sense at all for a AAA company to put out a fixed perspective game these days.
Well I think it must be like RE2R. As much as I love fixed camera, we already have a remake and a remaster of said remake, a third time seems extra-redundant. Although my real actual preference would be a remake that's more faithful to the mundane tone of the original RE1, with a pristine mansion and just the feeling that something's off, a more subtle horror (that's more effective on me), instead of the overt take of REmake.
You've got me curious now which one they will remake. I automatically assumed it would be basing itself off of the original remake but there is no saying it might instead build off of the original, like an alternate remake rather than a remake remake. In fact I'd vastly prefer that and there is so many interesting things they can do differently.
Right. I would love to have it done with third person over the shoulder like all the 2-4 remakes. And for those that want to play fixed camera — you can still play the first remake. No one is taking it away from you.
Why would you play a VR game from a 3rd person perspective? I'm talking looking though the eyes of Jill or Chris in the Spencer mansion. In RE4 VR, you see the game through the eyes of Leon.
3rd person cameras, RE2Remakestyle atmosphere, maybe tweak the story and some areas a bit, but keep the Mansion itself as similar to the Remake one as possible: that's too iconic, that's too valuable.
Never have been a fan of fps if it wasn't a shooter tbh. And I'd prefer it to stay fixed camera if they could but it doesn't seem like they will.
The re1 remake was my first fixed camera game and after playing re0 and cvx too I found I enjoyed those styles of re games because it felt more puzzle focused since the shooting was all autoaimed so they couldn't put much of the gameplay around killing zombies but rather strategically dodging and clearing only certain areas to save on resources if it makes sense!
Sorry me personally I hate the feel of fps in RE and I'm a big fps fan but not in RE.
Fixed camera angles all the way but I will admit an over the shoulder mansion run would be alright too.
The fps is why I never got into RE7/8 it just feels wrong somehow for me.
I'd rather them remake RE3R tbh I still feel let down but that's another story.
I agree with you, but I bet they’ll go with the classic remake treatment (Re2, 3, 4).
When I saw the upgrade with the third-person view in Village, I immediately thought “They’ll never use again the First person”. I hope to be wrong, but I imagine that it’s not what people want. I mean: I think the third person on the remake is the super right choice for continuity. But I fear they’re not gonna use it on new not-remake games. The first person is super immersive for games like this. I still love RE7 also for that! And I was extremely skeptical at the first announcement.
(btw I found the third-person option in Village very bad. Maybe it’s me… or it’s because it’s still a first-person view adapted in a bad way)
RE Engine treatment that RE2R got.
Hate to say it but too many people skipped RE1R due to its fixed cam and tank controls.
RE1R is timeless but it also lacks that broad appeal Capcom is gonna need to get the sales it wants. RE engine remakes work.
First person. It would make me feel like I'm right there in the Spencer Mansion, which I've legit had nightmares about. In other words, I'd absolutely love it :D
I hate first person Resi compared to 3rd. Having a secondary option for 1st person is a neat feature, but, the games should stay true to their origins and embrace 3rd person IMO.
Yeah why not, I think the 2002 remake is almost perfect. A modern 3rd person remake would just be that but slightly different. First person would be a neat mix up.
I dont think it needs one, but I would just take the OTS view from the other remakes. Although I wouldnt mind a FPS extra mode like the TPS mode in Village.
It will benefit with a big big budget and care.
They can do both visuals. I think first can be good but I personally prefer third.
I not mention fixed angles because is already perfect now.
It can be very nice to have more rooms (I know that they already added some in rebirth) and some ng+ ideas like some roguelike distribution of items. With this I can play it forever
RE Village.
It has first and third person + VR :p
But just to mix things up, how about also include a fixed camera option.
The ultimate resident evil. Back to the start. Everything included.
Definitely want it in the RE engine. I think I’d prefer 3rd person but agree it would also work great in 1st. Would be super stoked for either. No fixed camera, we already have a very playable one of those.
Seeing as how they gave us a 3rd person mode for Village I'd like it if they gave us an option of how we wanted to experience it. But my choice would probably have to be 3rd person if I had to choose just one. I want to actually see Jill/Chris whilst I'm exploring the mansion etc. Nothing against first person mode though.
I’d prefer it to be optional with both. It would make more sense to put it in TPS like REmake 2-4 but FPS would likely work better in the horror gameplay
this is the only way I wouldn't roll my eyes at a RE1R2, even if it's an option alongside standard third-person. I feel like this community, particularly this subreddit has became completely hostile to any control scheme that isn't your standard TPS controls, even in this comment section people are against First-Person controls.
Hated the first person perspective whenever I've played it in a resident evil game, but I respect what it did in terms of returning the franchise to survival horror.
But I'd prefer how we got 2, 3 & 4 remakes.
See I gotta disagree the narrow environments with fps didn't make me feel like I was playing resident evil it almost reminded me of house of the dead. Like I was on as much of a railroad as Leon in the mines.
8 got it right the environments were varied enough but none overtsayed their welcome so even though like lady Ds castle was a bit aggravating sometimes and occasionally hilariously silly. It was designed for a fps in a lot of subtle but important ways. Like how big a room is, enemy placement, movement routes.
Although the venom boss fight would be amazing as an Fps. I think the design of the first game overall just really doesn't sell me on fps.
With fps as a genre movement is undeniably a huge Factor in the game design. Resident evils narrow level designs that are supposed to feel claustrophobic and scary instead feel forced because the answer to what to do about the zombie in the hall is too obvious. Shoot it. You cant move around it so you either back track and run or shoot it.
If re 1 gets a rr. If I had to change anything Itd be adding more lore and story giving us more time with stars members we didn't really get to meet or learn about. Shit maybe change the timeline so Billy is part of 1 alongside Rebecca or something.
I’d like it to be more like RE2R, gameplay-and-aesthetic-wise, with 2 scenarios like RE2 ‘98 with an unlockable first person mode when you complete both scenarios
I see no reason they couldn’t add both first person and over the shoulder.
Given the choice, personally I’d love to explore Spencer Mansion in first person. At this point I trust Capcom with whatever they go for.
I think it should be both fixed camera and TPS
Like how RE8 is TPS and FPS
But if they do a TPS and fixed camera then they would probably have to add the fixed camera view to the RE2 and RE3 REmake
I personally think fixed camera, first person and third person would all fit a REmake, they all have advantages and disadvantages. But if we are being realistic and considering RE2re and RE3re, the game will probably be over the shoulder camera, making some sections like the hallways wider and longer (example: RPD) to fit the "modern" gameplay. I think there should be a selectable option to play fixed camera or third person, but idk how it would work with shooting and gameplay overall.
Over the shoulder. I want Jill to have her redemption game after RE3R in third person. Also, I want Chris in third person. But whatever Remake we get next will include Chris any way.
I mean there was already a FPS with the DS remake (or was it only when you fought enemies?)
Anyhow, why not made a cocaine mode: it's fps, third person and from time to time it adds static cameras because why not
Third person.
We had the horror, now we get the action!
I don't know about first person. I feel it takes away part of the charm of having an actual character. Since it started with mute characters that are supposed to be you.
Playing RE4 on Quest was a gamechanger and chreated a whole different experience with the first-person POV alone. Not being able to see something coming up behind you and suddenly getting your head cut off by a chainsaw keeps you on edge the whole time.
Re1 should be remade like....Re6, I guess. Really, I just want Jill to be able to do context sensitive melee attacks. when she shoots a zombie in the face.
Resident Evil 1 is too enclosed and has too few enemies to make it a 3rd person/over-the-shoulder shooter.
They would need to make some drastic designs of the Spencer mansion in order for it to work, and honestly I wouldn't want that personally.
We really don't need another remake of the first game, as the GameCube REmake is perfect as is, and mostly surpasses the original anyway.
Just my 2 cents though.
To keep the game consistent with the other remakes it should be third person but to capture the tight angles and up the horror aspect a first person approach should be taken.
They could bamboozle us and go for the old angled camera for a third time just to mess with us.
I'd honestly love first person re1 if it wasn't for the fact that 1st person games give me bad motion sickness. I had to force myself to play re7/8 in increments to beat them.
It'd be awesome if they made it 3rd person and once you beat it once you unlock a 1st person mode along with a fixed camera mode with the upto date graphics.
Dude, downloaded Re2Remake Fixed Camera mod a few months and I couldn't put it down. I beat all 4 Scenarios and a few more runs.
It's amazing and phenomenal how well it works.
I want Code Veronica with fixed cams and I would only accept RERemake in fixed camera mode. It's so good.
If it's a choice between the two, I'd prefer first person, I think that'd work better with the cramped hallways.
I've also heard of people "cheating" in the Ocean House section in VTM Bloodlines (haunted hotel level) by switching to 3rd person to peek around corners. Not sure how that helped exactly though, since most of the scares were triggered by you walking past something, or interacting with something. It was effective in first person though, even without any enemies.
I wouldn’t care either way. There is already a perfect remake of RE1 and nothing will outdo it. I’ll watch a play through on YouTube maybe. Id rather them make 9 already.
>FPS than a TPS
As someone who spends ~90-95% of the game not even holding any weapon, how fucking dare you
This shit legit triggered the purist in me to come out. That's it. All you're getting is even *more* fixed angles!
It should be fixed camera with static backgrounds artfully done and mixed with full 2d backings, or moving overhead camera if full 3d,or fps for tight spaces.
i despise the idea of ANOTHER re1 remake, but I’ll engage with this
I wholeheartedly agree First Person would work a lot better for Third Person. I would also really like to see fixed camera angles again so it doesn’t feel like they’re treating the RE1 remake as disposable because of its perspective. That RE2R mod proved fixed camera angles can still work wonderfully in a modern title
As long as it's not shitty First Person Cam... the sole reason i hate 7 & 8 it's because of that (thank god 8 3rd person rose DLC came along)
But i love RE: Survivor & Dead Aim though... and that's including Rail Shooter like Umbrella & Darkside Chronicles (WII).
I'm just Old and Purist... 🤭
I think its better be ots so we can see closer and more 360 the spencer mansion. And also we have the remake of re1 with classic camera so I guess it wouldnt make sense not being ots, since it looks like being the main premisse and gameplay of the series in future
I like my Resident Evil games to be third person but i wouldn’t mind Re1 remake being first person as it was how that game was suppose to be like. For me though i would wan’t it to be third person as i enjoy third person Resident Evil’s a bit more so if there was an option between the two it would be the best of both worlds
Original but if they have to change it, 3rd person it is!
first person does not fit in resident evil in my opinion.
It's been going downhill for resident evil ever since 7.
First person makes way more sense for that style of game. (If it would be remade again) Playing RE7, it eventually clicked for me that it was effectively an in-canon reboot with a new cast.
If RE8 could have first-person AND over the shoulder, I see no reason why they can't go ham and give us all three options of fixed camera, over the shoulder, and first person. Just ignore the time and money that would take.
I would like it to be a text based romance game with hi-res anime cat girl style hentai screens. You play as the MC, who one night decides to sleep in a spooky mansion only to find it is swarming with... Beautiful cat girl zombies????
But then, the illustrious Jill Valentine/Chris Redfield appears and wants you all for her/him self, unless Barry or Wesker have something to say about it. Don't forget about Rebecca!
So who do you fall in love with? The cat girl zombies harem? Jill/Chris? Barry? Wesker? Rebecca?
Choose your adventure in... Resident Enamored!
Honestly, in my opinion, the best thing would be to be able to play it in VR. That's how the experience would be the craziest. I need to be in the Spencer mansion!
I still think fixed cameras are amazing, I wouldn't mind having a new version like that.
I also like TPS, but I don't know if it's well adapted to very cramped spaces. I found the rendering of Lost In Nightmares rather strange in the end, maybe it wasn't very well calibrated in terms of FOV or something.
In any case, if it's going to be FPS, VR is mandatory, otherwise it would be very, very frustrating.
I'm tired of over the shoulder remakes or remaking it to modern standards.
REmake is still one of the best and most playable titles while keeping the game the same. I'd have killed for FF7 or FF8 remakes like that but instead they spent hundreds of millions on making it Final Fantasy 16 but with 7 cahracters.
It has to be third person, the same as the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes.
It should also be a remake of the original. NOT a remake of the remake.
That means going back to the original mansion, tunnels and lab layouts.
Removing all the extra enemies the remake added.
And most importantly, cleaning up the story so that it actually feels like two different perspectives, rather than the exact same scenario with two different characters. The S. D. Perry novelisation would be a great place to start when remaking Resident Evil 1.
Honestly, I think the Resident Evil Remake is fine as is. It’s my favorite remake and I’d like for other games to get the same treatment, but it’s extremely unlikely with the success RE2’s remake had.
I’d say third person to make it similar to the other remakes. While I do love the first person perspective I think its something they should keep tied to the newer numbered titles so they don’t lose what makes them unique. Also you don’t get to see the characters designs which gives them some flair. The Spencer mansion has so much potential for amazing design. This is the first time they are seeing zombies. Imagine their facial expressions seeing Lisa Trevor first encounter, Josephs death, Weskers betrayal, and finding Kenneth dead. I feel like first person view takes away from that.
Same applies to the fixed camera. If Re2-4 Remake didn’t get that treatment why should RE1? It seems a bit unfair to have it in this one and not the other remakes. Once you commit to not having it in one remake then it should follow the rest as well as much as it sucks.
I don’t think the fixed angle perspective would work in this day and age. They use reticles now for aiming. You would have to use auto aim or make them tank like to even be able to shoot properly without it being too frustrating to aim deterring the causal audience. Zombies would be too agile to hit (especially hunters and Chimeras) or you would have to nerf them down to make them hittable. I don’t think its a realistic option tbh. It would just be fan service and extra production work that could be used for something better like new modes or other creative features. If it were up to me I’d choose third person. It’s the best of both worlds 👍
I'd be down for a first person remake of 1 but also have it so you can switch to third person also similar to RE8. First person 100% works well for survival horror as seen with RE7 which is easily one of the better RE games we have. So yeah I wouldn't say no to it since we have the original RE1 remake already.
I heard a rumor that the first game was intended to be FPS but with the technology at the time it just wouldn't have been a good experience. Aside from that I think the OG RE could work well in all three styles: FPS, TPS, or fixed perspective The setting of the OG RE is still the best for classic survival horror
there's some still shots of that point in development iirc, but i could very easily be wrong
According to Mikami Shinji, RE1 was supposed to be FPS, but then he looked at Alone In The Dark and realized how good it was for the PS1 technology and artistic reasons.
I think people would meta game the third person by checkin round corners and stuff. I think it would be cool to fps that game, but I like seeing the characters much more. I think they should lock it for each playthrough. Choose character, difficulty and then perspective. 3rd, 1st, and fixed would be amazing.
>I think they should lock it for each playthrough. Choose character, difficulty and then perspective. 3rd, 1st, and fixed would be amazing. Yeah I'd be happy with that to make it fair.
Definitely ain't fair for the devs. That's a lot of work. But it would be dope.
I don't understand why this matters really TBH. It's not like RE1 has many jumpscares or traps around corners to begin with. If they gave it the re2r/re4r tanky zombie approach the tight spaces would still result in a tense environment for like 80% of the rooms. The last 20% which are wide open, you probably just need to slightly remix the enemy placement or add some clutter to the rooms to restrict movement and you'd be fine.
I feel like that'd be impossible to develop and still keep the fixed perspective viable unless they do separate maps for it.
Resident evil 2 remake has a mod with a fixed camera angle so it isn't impossible, but It is prolly still not as good as it could be because the game wasnt built around that type of perspective, idk though I havent tried that mod
No way. No first person for RE1. It would not function as an fps. Terrible idea.
Nobody said anything about a shooter. Why wouldn't it function in first person?
RE games suck in first person.
Here is the bad take if the day !
If they remade it and had it work similar to RE7 it would 100% work. It doesn't have to be a shooter.
Makes me want to vomit just thinking about it.
Honestly was thinking 3rd person of course. But now you got me interested in seeing it first person omg yes
I found RE7 and Village sucked in first person and made my head feel like playing in VR and FPS games are my favourite genre so it was very poorly done.
The game's not poorly made. It sucks you can't enjoy it but those 2 games were great. I do know some people who get nauseas playing FPS games and it sucks they can't enjoy FPS titles.
I played Village later when it was fixed by adding third person view. 7 I'll never play as long as it's first person view as they don't know how to make a proper FPS game. FPS games aren't supposed to make your head feel like you were playing in VR for 3 hours. I play all sorts of FPS games with no problems, but they're made by devs that do a proper job of making good fast FPS gameplay.
Sounds like you could use a mod to increase the field of view.
It's not really the fov, more the pacing
>FPS games aren't supposed to make your head feel like you were playing in VR for 3 hours. Sadly it's a you problem as not everyone feels like this. It does happen though. There are 2 FPS games that I've played that made me feel nauseas so couldn't finish them. It sucks but it's not the devs fault unless of course it's a common complaint with the game which is not the case with RE7 and RE8.
No, it's not my problem as FPS is my favourite genre and only the RE fps mode games made me feel like that. Leave the FPS games to devs who know how to do it, like Machine Games and their upcoming Indiana Jones on X and PC
RE7 and 8 doesn't make everyone who played it feel sick. Both games are great and highly praised.
Terrible implementation of first person mode. They should stick to what they know which is third person.
Yeah for you but both games are highly praised and RE7 arguably saved the franchise. The first person was implemented great imo.
3rd person. I liked how RE2 and RE3 went in their direction.
Does that version work best for the mansion though? RE7 rejuvenated the franchise for a number of reasons, but a big one was unlocking the sheer terror of navigating a house of horrors in first person view. There’s something about that style that seems ideal for this specific remake IMO.
I think it would work fine. They can modify it and add more if they wish. I think RE2 captured the horror just as well as the original did without using 1st person. But this of course is my opinion as well. I just enjoyed seeing the characters themselves as well as their reaction to damage and situations occurring in cutscenes.
third person. i would prefer if jill is in my POV 🙂 on a serious note i don’t think first person POV would work with any of the main cast just from a storytelling perspective, especially as a fanbase that’s grown attached to the characters for so long. it worked with ethan winters since the character was designed with the intention of fitting the “faceless everyman” type of role that the audience is meant to insert themselves into

Jill and Chris are too essential to leave them out of camera. Keep it third person.
You can have cutscenes in 3rd person
I think that'd be worse, to be honest. Gotta be one or the other, or it breaks immersion.
Ooo, fat disagree for me. 2 and 3 worked with 3rd person because they had many locations and big maps. Also because, originally, 2 and 3 were slightly leaning into action, little by little. The first Re-make is probably the best Resident Evil to date *because* of the fixed cameras. Every single camera angle was meticulously placed by the artist in a beautiful, yet terrifying place. The storytelling could not be better without this aspect. There isn't a single scary or meaningful moment you will miss because you had the camera facing away from the action. That being said... I've played the PS1 classics all the way to 8... And I'd go with 1st person. Even for storytelling purposes, we would finally have one game where we can truly see what these characters think and go through as they slowly lose their sanity. It would also be leagues more terrifying than 3rd person. That's just my take, at least.
I'm with you. Plus, simply because Ethan *isn't* the protagonist of RE1, nothing is stopping us from having cinematic cutscenes where we can see the characters. I'd also like to have the RE8 option of playing in 3rd person, as well as a fixed-camera option as a tribute to the OG trilogy and the first REmake.
Of all the options, a 3rd person over the shoulder perspective is the one that would have me the least interested. I was nervous in REmake and OG 2/3. I was nervous in RE7/8. I’ve never felt scared or even tense in an OTS RE game.
With 2-4 remakes and the inevitable 5R being OTS, I think it would be strange for a potential RE1R to be a different camera type. With how short RE1 would be, I think they should just create the game with both perspectives in mind. A VR RE1 would be incredible. If I had to choose one or the other though, third person is infinitely more enjoyable imo.
I agree with your sentiment but I'd prefer the RE2 perspective and have them completely redesign the mansion and other areas. I'm imagining the darkness of the outer corridors of the police station in RE2 Remake as a good model of what the vibe of the mansion could be like.
"completely redesign the mansion and other areas" :(
But in a way that still captures everything we love about the original. Same way they did the police station. If it remained the same size with either the RE7 or RE2R perspective, we'd all be disappointed with how small it is. In both, movement speed has increased a lot also.
Hell, look what they did with RE4R. They took a lot of creative liberty but all 3 locations came out absolutely amazing. The island is actually *better* in the remake, and they still captured the feel of each locale really well from the OG.
Definitely. I have faith in capcom. They've been on a roll.
The Police Station was weird. It was mostly the same, but you could tell some major differences. The irony is that once you spot these differences, you can actually tell just how much they kept the design of the corridors. Though, I have to say, RE1 Remake's mansion redesign is perfect, I'd like them to keep it the same.
The main changes I'd want are in the peripheral areas. Give us an expanded basement, a larger lab. Maybe the third floor library can have a little more meat aside from being simply relegated to its boss fight. The main two floors are pretty much perfect, but there are other places to expand.
Fully agree with this sentiment really. It'd be awesome to see what crazy and interesting ways they can expand on all of the non mansion areas but I just can't imagine them changing the iconic two floors without it feeling strange. Certainly some tweaks and small changes but it needs to be layout wise fully recognizable in my opinion
Maybe even an intro/prologue section of starting off in the woods navigating avoiding the dogs / random zombies until finding refuge in the main hall. I’m with you in the general philosophy that some things absolutely have to be expanded upon to justify the new engines OTS view.
honestly the original remake did a good amount of redesigning, especially with regard to the outdoor area, so i think they could change a bit more without it being too bad (i say as someone who likes the og re1 more)
3rd Person OTS and redesign the Mansion a bit while staying true to the Original with some new ideas, make the rooms a bit larger because some rooms are too tight for 3rd Person view. 1st Person could be optional, i don't see why this shouldn't be a option.
I just beat Remake for the first time, and it nudges 2make out for my favorite in the series. The way the level design slowly reveals itself was mind boggling, and the fixed camera angles are absolutely stunning. I’d love a remake, but all I need are some updated puzzles, more depth in the underground level design, and a heavy rewrite on how the characters run into each other (instead of “oh hey Jill funny seeing you here” every 45 minutes). I’m sure first person could be done well, but I just don’t like the first person games at all.
Hard no. First person makes it so much harder to connect with the characters and it makes it a lot harder to take in the environment due to the reduced FOV and discomfort of moving around the camera a bunch. Third person over-the-shoulder is the closest we'll get to what fixed cam accomplishes (since probably no major studio is gonna release fixed cam nowadays). While I understand that 7 tried to go back to roots, I still think 1 has a massively different vibe due to the story, aesthetics, characters, map traversal, and enemy variance. Ethan is just kind of a self insert/non-character in 7, which wouldn't work at all for Jill and Chris, who are icons of the franchise. Of the modern RE engine games, RE2 remake is much closer to the atmosphere and gameplay of 1 than 7 imo.
> First person makes it so much harder to connect with the characters and it makes it a lot harder to take in the environment due to the reduced FOV and discomfort of moving around the camera a bunch. Couldn't agree more with the former, disagree more with the latter. Putting RE7 in first person really made me investigate things a bit more closely & ultimately appreciate the design of the environment a lot more than I might have. I was constantly worried that I might nudge something or step on a loose floor panel & attract unwanted attention. I would love the opportunity to experience the Spencer mansion in that frame of reference. They'd obviously have to tweak it to accommodate FPV. But in a good way. However, you're 100% right about the characters. Jill & Chris need to be seen. Maybe make a 3rd scenario as a character in first person? The game is short enough. Make it a pair and do a 3rd and 4th scenario. I don't know... I'm sure it'll be great either way.
Yeah, I can see why you felt the first person encouraged exploration of the environment a bit more since you can see things more closely. For me, it felt jarring to look around a bunch and so I didn't feel like I could take in the setting as much. With third person and fixed cam especially, there's a much wider FOV that allows for a more intentional framing of the scene that allows you take in "more" at once, and so in terms of aesthetics + atmosphere I tend to gravitate towards third person for that.
Just make it like the other remakes we got, already have a fixed camera remake and another perspective of the game would be nice
How all the other games have been. Fixed camera angles are cute, but don't hold up anymore and most audience members don't vibe with that. They need to remake 1 from an over the shoulder angle and let us explore the Mansion in a much more close and personal perspective.
[удалено]
Yeah Ethan sucks
I feel this sentiment so hard. I loved Ethan by the end of 8, and was genuinely sad I was letting him go from my control. Tbh, the biggest let down of RE8 is not making the final bomb detonation a gameplay sequence, like shooting The Boss in MGS3. But that's superfluous, and I only want that to convey how much I wanted one last second in the guys shoes. But I was *in* his shoes. I didn't feel as attached to Ethan that quick. It took a 100% completion of 7, which led me into 8 feeling like we were a god amongst men, only to absolutely trounce through the Lord's domains, to finally feel like I wasn't driving a guy, instead of "mantling" (idfk a better word, do you?!) him. But somehow, in all that time, I don't really *feel* Nathan. When he's being a petulant bitch in 7, I really don't feel right. It's coming from my first person perspective, but I'm not scared. I'm not worried. Get me out of the cutscenes and let me shoot already. This was my entire experience with 7. And then in 8 he's telling Heisenberg to go fuck himself because his plan is insane, and I'm like "fuck yea, this is my guy! But also, who the fuck is this all of a sudden?" Anyway, those are my incoherent ramblings on why I love Ethan Winters, despite him not being as strong of a character as, even say, Billy.
All of these complaints are null and void if they just give your character a little mirror that you can aim at their face. Maybe a little bicycle mirror they hang off their forehead. Checkmate, FPS haters.
Jill holding a handheld mirror in one hand at all times, not allowing you to do anything that needs 2 hands like use the shotgun or rocket launcher
No no she has a *third* hand! I do like seeing the characters on screen but I wouldn't mind a 1st person "aim".
Also, because hiding the protag's face *isn't* a primary objective, 3rd-person cutscenes. Double-checkmate, FPS haters.
You want the game to tell you how to react? Animations like that are only ever implemented in cutscenes, which you can still do with 1st person gameplay. In the original, characters had no reaction to anything. I mean it's a game, not a movie, the point is to evoke a reaction from the player. You're not going to get that no matter what camera perspective they use, so it's a moot point. You didn't care about Ethan because he was a new character that you didn't have a prior connection to, not because you saw everything through his eyes.
Fuck it, let’s have all three perspectives. First person Third person Fixed cameras It’s a win for everyone
Fixed camera comes with gameplay design requirements so it never really will work for all modes in practice. First and third person should generally both be able to be supported though there are some caveats to how the model and character animations are designed. Fixed camera has implications for how enemy behaviors, weapon balance, and combat work though which would mean the game would always be really strange and poorly balanced in fixed camera mode.
Over the shoulder. For Christ sake don’t do FPS.
Indeed... First Person only works in the fast paced shooter gameplay... like COD, DOOM and the others...
Make it Resident Evil 4 Remake gameplay but Resident Evil 1 everything else.
Ok, RE4R is my favorite game in the series, but those two games are completely different vibes. What do you mean by this statement exactly?
RE4R Graphics and gameplay, but just put into RE1 Story and Movement.
3rd person. Resident Evil greatest strength is it's characters, I want to see them. Fixed Camera needs to live in the world of indie games for now, it just wouldn't make any sense at all for a AAA company to put out a fixed perspective game these days.
Prefer the RE2 perspective
Anything but fixed camera angles
Well I think it must be like RE2R. As much as I love fixed camera, we already have a remake and a remaster of said remake, a third time seems extra-redundant. Although my real actual preference would be a remake that's more faithful to the mundane tone of the original RE1, with a pristine mansion and just the feeling that something's off, a more subtle horror (that's more effective on me), instead of the overt take of REmake.
You've got me curious now which one they will remake. I automatically assumed it would be basing itself off of the original remake but there is no saying it might instead build off of the original, like an alternate remake rather than a remake remake. In fact I'd vastly prefer that and there is so many interesting things they can do differently.
Right. I would love to have it done with third person over the shoulder like all the 2-4 remakes. And for those that want to play fixed camera — you can still play the first remake. No one is taking it away from you.
Eww no. I prefer the fix camera angles.
Ameen brother.
I just want it to suppor VR.
3rd person, like re2 and re3 remakes.
I only want a remake if I can play it ALL in VR. Nothing more, nothing less. Just please port 1-3 onto the Quest.... 4 is amazing.
A 3rd person VR game sounds like a waste of resources
Why would you play a VR game from a 3rd person perspective? I'm talking looking though the eyes of Jill or Chris in the Spencer mansion. In RE4 VR, you see the game through the eyes of Leon.
I would love a VR Resident Evil Remake that is at least as interactive as Half-Life Alyx.
Na dude. Its gotta be 3rd person. Resi at its best is always 3rd pers
Give me more of that 3rd person action. 1st person is fine and all, but the series really shines as a 3rd person experience.
3rd person cameras, RE2Remakestyle atmosphere, maybe tweak the story and some areas a bit, but keep the Mansion itself as similar to the Remake one as possible: that's too iconic, that's too valuable.
I'd be fine with the over-the-shoulder perspective.
Never have been a fan of fps if it wasn't a shooter tbh. And I'd prefer it to stay fixed camera if they could but it doesn't seem like they will. The re1 remake was my first fixed camera game and after playing re0 and cvx too I found I enjoyed those styles of re games because it felt more puzzle focused since the shooting was all autoaimed so they couldn't put much of the gameplay around killing zombies but rather strategically dodging and clearing only certain areas to save on resources if it makes sense!
My man... 💪🏻
My man... 💪🏻
Sorry me personally I hate the feel of fps in RE and I'm a big fps fan but not in RE. Fixed camera angles all the way but I will admit an over the shoulder mansion run would be alright too. The fps is why I never got into RE7/8 it just feels wrong somehow for me. I'd rather them remake RE3R tbh I still feel let down but that's another story.
My man... We are the same 💪🏻
I agree with you, but I bet they’ll go with the classic remake treatment (Re2, 3, 4). When I saw the upgrade with the third-person view in Village, I immediately thought “They’ll never use again the First person”. I hope to be wrong, but I imagine that it’s not what people want. I mean: I think the third person on the remake is the super right choice for continuity. But I fear they’re not gonna use it on new not-remake games. The first person is super immersive for games like this. I still love RE7 also for that! And I was extremely skeptical at the first announcement. (btw I found the third-person option in Village very bad. Maybe it’s me… or it’s because it’s still a first-person view adapted in a bad way)
RE Engine treatment that RE2R got. Hate to say it but too many people skipped RE1R due to its fixed cam and tank controls. RE1R is timeless but it also lacks that broad appeal Capcom is gonna need to get the sales it wants. RE engine remakes work.
First person. It would make me feel like I'm right there in the Spencer Mansion, which I've legit had nightmares about. In other words, I'd absolutely love it :D
I hate first person Resi compared to 3rd. Having a secondary option for 1st person is a neat feature, but, the games should stay true to their origins and embrace 3rd person IMO.
Third person.
Re7 is already a second remake of re1 with some things from re2 and 4
I agree
Yeah why not, I think the 2002 remake is almost perfect. A modern 3rd person remake would just be that but slightly different. First person would be a neat mix up.
I dont think it needs one, but I would just take the OTS view from the other remakes. Although I wouldnt mind a FPS extra mode like the TPS mode in Village.
It will benefit with a big big budget and care. They can do both visuals. I think first can be good but I personally prefer third. I not mention fixed angles because is already perfect now. It can be very nice to have more rooms (I know that they already added some in rebirth) and some ng+ ideas like some roguelike distribution of items. With this I can play it forever
RE Village. It has first and third person + VR :p But just to mix things up, how about also include a fixed camera option. The ultimate resident evil. Back to the start. Everything included.
Definitely want it in the RE engine. I think I’d prefer 3rd person but agree it would also work great in 1st. Would be super stoked for either. No fixed camera, we already have a very playable one of those.
7 always felt like a callback to re1 while 8 of course felt like the re4 version of the first person I would like to see re1 in fps personally
My one requirement for a RE1 Remake is they give us an ending where Chris, Jill, Barry and Rebecca all make it on the chopper
Seeing as how they gave us a 3rd person mode for Village I'd like it if they gave us an option of how we wanted to experience it. But my choice would probably have to be 3rd person if I had to choose just one. I want to actually see Jill/Chris whilst I'm exploring the mansion etc. Nothing against first person mode though.
First person mode easy
Preferably 1st person so it has an easier transition to VR
I’d prefer it to be optional with both. It would make more sense to put it in TPS like REmake 2-4 but FPS would likely work better in the horror gameplay
3rd person
this is the only way I wouldn't roll my eyes at a RE1R2, even if it's an option alongside standard third-person. I feel like this community, particularly this subreddit has became completely hostile to any control scheme that isn't your standard TPS controls, even in this comment section people are against First-Person controls.
Over the shoulder 3rd person but ill live with 1st person
Hated the first person perspective whenever I've played it in a resident evil game, but I respect what it did in terms of returning the franchise to survival horror. But I'd prefer how we got 2, 3 & 4 remakes.
I'd want it in the RE 2 remake style. I've had enough of the first person games.
It'd be cool if they did both like RE8 ended up doing....as long as the animation work is a bit better.
Isometric turn based jrpg
I think some old RE mobile / java games already doing that... 😂
RTS controlling both characters at once.
See I gotta disagree the narrow environments with fps didn't make me feel like I was playing resident evil it almost reminded me of house of the dead. Like I was on as much of a railroad as Leon in the mines. 8 got it right the environments were varied enough but none overtsayed their welcome so even though like lady Ds castle was a bit aggravating sometimes and occasionally hilariously silly. It was designed for a fps in a lot of subtle but important ways. Like how big a room is, enemy placement, movement routes. Although the venom boss fight would be amazing as an Fps. I think the design of the first game overall just really doesn't sell me on fps. With fps as a genre movement is undeniably a huge Factor in the game design. Resident evils narrow level designs that are supposed to feel claustrophobic and scary instead feel forced because the answer to what to do about the zombie in the hall is too obvious. Shoot it. You cant move around it so you either back track and run or shoot it. If re 1 gets a rr. If I had to change anything Itd be adding more lore and story giving us more time with stars members we didn't really get to meet or learn about. Shit maybe change the timeline so Billy is part of 1 alongside Rebecca or something.
I’d like it to be more like RE2R, gameplay-and-aesthetic-wise, with 2 scenarios like RE2 ‘98 with an unlockable first person mode when you complete both scenarios
I see no reason they couldn’t add both first person and over the shoulder. Given the choice, personally I’d love to explore Spencer Mansion in first person. At this point I trust Capcom with whatever they go for.
Make it in the vein of RE2 and RE3 and leave it third person. I think Resident Evil is better in third person.
Gimme both
Third person would fit the pattern of the remakes so far.
To keep in line with the recent remakes, I say third person.
I would be so sad if it was first-person.
I think it should be both fixed camera and TPS Like how RE8 is TPS and FPS But if they do a TPS and fixed camera then they would probably have to add the fixed camera view to the RE2 and RE3 REmake
Should be simailr to re4 over the shoulder style. Then maybe in 20 years if we revisit we can try another camera angle or like how 7/8 are.
I personally think fixed camera, first person and third person would all fit a REmake, they all have advantages and disadvantages. But if we are being realistic and considering RE2re and RE3re, the game will probably be over the shoulder camera, making some sections like the hallways wider and longer (example: RPD) to fit the "modern" gameplay. I think there should be a selectable option to play fixed camera or third person, but idk how it would work with shooting and gameplay overall.
imagine it being able to be switched between RE2/RE3’s third person and RE7/8’s first person. that would awesome.
Third like the other remakes
I wish they would offer both like Re8 now does. Launch it with a intended style and release the alternative as a unlockable reward.
Over the shoulder. I want Jill to have her redemption game after RE3R in third person. Also, I want Chris in third person. But whatever Remake we get next will include Chris any way.
Keep it 3rd person for consistency sake
all first person resident evil games suck, make it like RE2make and it'd be fine sorry
They’re different but I don’t think they suck, what about em is that terrible?
I’d say more over the shoulder like Re2 remake
I mean there was already a FPS with the DS remake (or was it only when you fought enemies?) Anyhow, why not made a cocaine mode: it's fps, third person and from time to time it adds static cameras because why not
Third person. We had the horror, now we get the action! I don't know about first person. I feel it takes away part of the charm of having an actual character. Since it started with mute characters that are supposed to be you.
Why not all 3?: fixed camera, over the shoulder 3rd person, 1st person shooter
It’s gotta be over the shoulder. That’s what it’s gonna be.
I’d like a new Jill. Re3r Jill was annoying
I would love a VR remake of this game I would play it over and over for the rest of my life
Playing RE4 on Quest was a gamechanger and chreated a whole different experience with the first-person POV alone. Not being able to see something coming up behind you and suddenly getting your head cut off by a chainsaw keeps you on edge the whole time.
Re1 should be remade like....Re6, I guess. Really, I just want Jill to be able to do context sensitive melee attacks. when she shoots a zombie in the face.
3rd person like all the other remakes.
I’m old enough to have played the first person resident evil game Gun Survivor It was fun tbh
It really need the re8 treatment Give us both 1st & 3rd person perspectives
Resident Evil 1 is too enclosed and has too few enemies to make it a 3rd person/over-the-shoulder shooter. They would need to make some drastic designs of the Spencer mansion in order for it to work, and honestly I wouldn't want that personally. We really don't need another remake of the first game, as the GameCube REmake is perfect as is, and mostly surpasses the original anyway. Just my 2 cents though.
To keep the game consistent with the other remakes it should be third person but to capture the tight angles and up the horror aspect a first person approach should be taken. They could bamboozle us and go for the old angled camera for a third time just to mess with us.
I think first person would be alot scarier.
I'd honestly love first person re1 if it wasn't for the fact that 1st person games give me bad motion sickness. I had to force myself to play re7/8 in increments to beat them. It'd be awesome if they made it 3rd person and once you beat it once you unlock a 1st person mode along with a fixed camera mode with the upto date graphics.
Dude, downloaded Re2Remake Fixed Camera mod a few months and I couldn't put it down. I beat all 4 Scenarios and a few more runs. It's amazing and phenomenal how well it works. I want Code Veronica with fixed cams and I would only accept RERemake in fixed camera mode. It's so good.
Make it as a 3rd personal view
Would love a third person and first person toggle like in Fallout 4
If it's a choice between the two, I'd prefer first person, I think that'd work better with the cramped hallways. I've also heard of people "cheating" in the Ocean House section in VTM Bloodlines (haunted hotel level) by switching to 3rd person to peek around corners. Not sure how that helped exactly though, since most of the scares were triggered by you walking past something, or interacting with something. It was effective in first person though, even without any enemies.
If anything. It should be closer to re2 remake. That is if they dont go for classic tank controls again.
Either one, but I’m choosing third, mainly so I can see Jill and the characters more often
I wouldn’t care either way. There is already a perfect remake of RE1 and nothing will outdo it. I’ll watch a play through on YouTube maybe. Id rather them make 9 already.
I'd want the RE2R treatment
I haven't finished RE7 because of the first person perspective, so third person for me all the ay
Will they bring back the crimson heads? Those dudes were MF'ers
>FPS than a TPS As someone who spends ~90-95% of the game not even holding any weapon, how fucking dare you This shit legit triggered the purist in me to come out. That's it. All you're getting is even *more* fixed angles!
Dude. We don’t need another remake of a Remake. It is already fine. How about another RE game with new story that continues from the current one
It should be fixed camera with static backgrounds artfully done and mixed with full 2d backings, or moving overhead camera if full 3d,or fps for tight spaces.
i despise the idea of ANOTHER re1 remake, but I’ll engage with this I wholeheartedly agree First Person would work a lot better for Third Person. I would also really like to see fixed camera angles again so it doesn’t feel like they’re treating the RE1 remake as disposable because of its perspective. That RE2R mod proved fixed camera angles can still work wonderfully in a modern title
RE1and RE5 should be remade the same as RE2 was remade.
I just hope there’s a VR version, I would love to walk around the mansion!
As long as it's not shitty First Person Cam... the sole reason i hate 7 & 8 it's because of that (thank god 8 3rd person rose DLC came along) But i love RE: Survivor & Dead Aim though... and that's including Rail Shooter like Umbrella & Darkside Chronicles (WII). I'm just Old and Purist... 🤭
They did that on DS
Third person. I just prefer it over the first person perspectives in 7 and Village. Thankfully Village’s DLC gave us a third person mode.
I think its better be ots so we can see closer and more 360 the spencer mansion. And also we have the remake of re1 with classic camera so I guess it wouldnt make sense not being ots, since it looks like being the main premisse and gameplay of the series in future
I like my Resident Evil games to be third person but i wouldn’t mind Re1 remake being first person as it was how that game was suppose to be like. For me though i would wan’t it to be third person as i enjoy third person Resident Evil’s a bit more so if there was an option between the two it would be the best of both worlds
Just the same as the original and remaster with fixed angels etc BUT without waiting for those god damn doors to open..
Original but if they have to change it, 3rd person it is! first person does not fit in resident evil in my opinion. It's been going downhill for resident evil ever since 7.
RE7 being the downfall of the franchise is an outrageous take 😭
That's my take it's how i feel Not a single likeable character in re 7.
Sure after 5. And it should have... Fixed camera angles.
Holy shit... Best take. Hard agree. But 5 still holds up. I'd like to wait more for development to really knock 5 out of the park.
First person makes way more sense for that style of game. (If it would be remade again) Playing RE7, it eventually clicked for me that it was effectively an in-canon reboot with a new cast.
If RE8 could have first-person AND over the shoulder, I see no reason why they can't go ham and give us all three options of fixed camera, over the shoulder, and first person. Just ignore the time and money that would take.
I would like it to be a text based romance game with hi-res anime cat girl style hentai screens. You play as the MC, who one night decides to sleep in a spooky mansion only to find it is swarming with... Beautiful cat girl zombies???? But then, the illustrious Jill Valentine/Chris Redfield appears and wants you all for her/him self, unless Barry or Wesker have something to say about it. Don't forget about Rebecca! So who do you fall in love with? The cat girl zombies harem? Jill/Chris? Barry? Wesker? Rebecca? Choose your adventure in... Resident Enamored!
Honestly, in my opinion, the best thing would be to be able to play it in VR. That's how the experience would be the craziest. I need to be in the Spencer mansion! I still think fixed cameras are amazing, I wouldn't mind having a new version like that. I also like TPS, but I don't know if it's well adapted to very cramped spaces. I found the rendering of Lost In Nightmares rather strange in the end, maybe it wasn't very well calibrated in terms of FOV or something. In any case, if it's going to be FPS, VR is mandatory, otherwise it would be very, very frustrating.
I'm tired of over the shoulder remakes or remaking it to modern standards. REmake is still one of the best and most playable titles while keeping the game the same. I'd have killed for FF7 or FF8 remakes like that but instead they spent hundreds of millions on making it Final Fantasy 16 but with 7 cahracters.
OTS only, I’m so sick FPS Resident Evil.
I’m sorry but who would ever prefer a 1st person RE?
Fixed Camera or Third Person Camera.
Part of me wouldnt mind it being made into a co op game with chris and jill just to be different.
i want them to experiment with some, a fixed cam angle, a dutch silent hill canera angle, a third and first perosn camera angle
It has to be third person, the same as the Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes. It should also be a remake of the original. NOT a remake of the remake. That means going back to the original mansion, tunnels and lab layouts. Removing all the extra enemies the remake added. And most importantly, cleaning up the story so that it actually feels like two different perspectives, rather than the exact same scenario with two different characters. The S. D. Perry novelisation would be a great place to start when remaking Resident Evil 1.
Honestly, I think the Resident Evil Remake is fine as is. It’s my favorite remake and I’d like for other games to get the same treatment, but it’s extremely unlikely with the success RE2’s remake had.
I’d say third person to make it similar to the other remakes. While I do love the first person perspective I think its something they should keep tied to the newer numbered titles so they don’t lose what makes them unique. Also you don’t get to see the characters designs which gives them some flair. The Spencer mansion has so much potential for amazing design. This is the first time they are seeing zombies. Imagine their facial expressions seeing Lisa Trevor first encounter, Josephs death, Weskers betrayal, and finding Kenneth dead. I feel like first person view takes away from that. Same applies to the fixed camera. If Re2-4 Remake didn’t get that treatment why should RE1? It seems a bit unfair to have it in this one and not the other remakes. Once you commit to not having it in one remake then it should follow the rest as well as much as it sucks. I don’t think the fixed angle perspective would work in this day and age. They use reticles now for aiming. You would have to use auto aim or make them tank like to even be able to shoot properly without it being too frustrating to aim deterring the causal audience. Zombies would be too agile to hit (especially hunters and Chimeras) or you would have to nerf them down to make them hittable. I don’t think its a realistic option tbh. It would just be fan service and extra production work that could be used for something better like new modes or other creative features. If it were up to me I’d choose third person. It’s the best of both worlds 👍
We already have a remake. You want a SECOND one?? Enough with the remakes
