SHOW ETHAN'S FACE (huge spoilers, *stay out*)

[Rocket]

This whole stupid not showing Ethan's face thing is so ridiculously stupid. It weakens 7, but at the end of the DLC, the simple fact of not showing Rose and Ethan together WITH HIS FACE, destroys what could have been major emotional impact between father and daughter. We see it from very far away, we see his stupid hair and his dumb arm.

I've never seen such a dumb decision in any game or movie ever.

Not showing his face, doesn't DO anything!

Ethan's not an every man. He's not me, he's not us, he's not all dads, he's Ethan Winters, Rose's dad, and this ending is so stupid.

I sat and watched these cut scenes, dumbfounded.

Ethan's face >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> any reason Capcom could have for not showing his face.

Hope they go back to just making good third person games it was fun for something different but enough of the "faceless for immersion" stuff.

I mean you said it I'm pretty sure they don't show his face because that's supposed to be you. And that's why Rose's story is in 3p. Cause that's not you. That's your daughter grown up and you're supposed to see her as Ethan would. I thought it was a good story but wonder what Ethan would be like with a face and more character minus the blankness for immersion.

Same feeling. Really nice scene in the end but it looks so stupid without Ethan’s face…

Man I don't want any part of the 1st vs 3rd person perspective war that's going on in these boards.

I love all the mainline RE's, the horror ones, the action ones, the mixed ones, the 1-6 and Revelations series, the Winters' saga, all of it. They all bring something to the table that the series benefits from, and they're all really good at what they set out to do.

Clearly Capcom can make 3rd and 1st person simultaneously.

We got 2 amazing looking and playing remakes and 2 new main entries with a whole lot of fresh, great characters in 7 and 8, in a relatively short amount of time. I'm not here for that debate. The old games work in 3rd person, the new games work in 1st person, Rose works in 3rd person. 4 works in 3rd person.

The only thing I'm trying to say here is that they needed to show his face, but especially in the DLC ending.

Hundreds of 1st person games have characters with faces. Ethan not having one is ridiculous.

Not sure why they'd keep it some kind of secret. Other games had faceless first person protagonists though. Halo for one. You're not supposed to know what he looks like cause that's supposed to be you. Same with Doom kind of. Bioshock. There's probably a bunch you never know what ya look like.

You're alright with everything in every game but this, this is what you're hung up on? Lol come on man

I'm not tryin to have a huge debate on 3p vs Fp I just don't want them jankifying the games trying to do both. No way that'd play right.

I was hanging on till the last moment for his face to show. I would have been fine with that. The last damn line and finally show his face. Nope, they dropped the ball on this. I feel ya RocketJump.

Slayer's mask in Doom Eternal is transluscent. His face is animated when he does things. OG Doom series had his face at the bottom. That's not really my point anyway.

If doing something is positively and not negatively impacting a game, then great. The problem is they went so far out of their way to do it, that it significantly ruins the emotional impact of the ending. I watched a significant father daughter moment that Rose only got to have once in her life, and I'm looking at the damn top of a man's hair and his damn arm.

Ugh.

I laughed so hard when Rose said:" If I had left you, then we never would have had this chance to talk face to face". It killed the scene.

I don't think they ever should have gone down this road to begin with but I can go along with this. A last second showing and them hugging each other or whatever would have been a cool way to handle it.

It would've been better if they just showed him and Rose at the end though yeah. Makes it more of a joke than anything like Wilson from Home Improvement or something.

Lol when they put his arm there just to block it I couldn't help thinking of the silly things they did hiding Wilson's face

HAHA, I can't think of any specifics but I remember them doing that in that show. It was usually the fence, but it was other stuff too.

They should make a game Home Improvement: Wilson's Revenge
