Paying for a 3rd person view? really?

[FreddieForever#1]

This should be IN the game from the start, games like GTA5 have both first and third person view right from the beginning, i think its silly to have to pay for a 3rd person view.

Bad example. GTA5 first person mode didn't exist until ps4-version was released. Which you needed to buy again even if you had the ps3 version.

So you think its too much to want both views in the game from the start.

Not what I was saying. I'm with you on the issue. Just said it was a bad example.

They went through additional effort of making 3rd person for this game. From what I've seen its not simply camera change like in a mod. Effort = money.

You're paying for the whole package: Rose's DLC, some Mercenaries stuff, 3rd Person view. You can decide for yourself what that is worth to you.

Would it be nice to offer 3rd person separately as a free update? Sure. "Should" they give it away for free? No.

Should it have been included right from the beginning? No. It's a first person view game, created, marketed and sold as such. Additional options are great, but not mandatory.

You should also consider that making third person work and look well for a game like this which was designed around first person view requires significantly more effort than just pulling the camera back a few inches. (Assuming it does, indeed, work and look well.) This is not just something every game has by default and is being deliberately held back to sell as DLC later.

There's a lot of ripping off in gaming and especially in DLC worthy of complaints. This isn't it.

I'm looking forward to being able to play in third person.
Default Village gives me motion sickness, so 3rd person is a welcome addition for people like me.

git gud

Both options are great. Reason why we haven't seen it til now is all the work required to make the game twice, basically.

Do we know if the cutscenes have been redone to be in third person?

[Mögbär]

We do, the cutscenes will be in first person.

Lol if you think they made the game twice.

OP is right, they should have given the 3rd person for free with the RT update, or separately. I mean they barely put any effort into making it, just moved the camera.

That said, my guess is most of the cost of the DLC is for Shadows of Rose. And then there is the expanded mercenaries mode and lastly the 3rd person camera.

So if you think of it that way they're charging something like $3-5 for the 3rd person mode. Which isn't a ton.

They should make the games 3p from the start. Because when it's added on later it looks like a mod and don't play right.

They should make both 1st and 3rd person right from the start as all the RE games going forward will also be in VR.
