Is there a reason why this game is in first person?

In an old interview back when RE7 came out, Capcom producer Masachika Kawata is quoted saying,

“I wouldn’t necessarily call it the most difficult Resident Evil game,” Kawata said. “What I will say is I think it is the best camera to offer the highest level of immersion in a survival – horror environment.“

Since Village is a direct sequel, they stuck with the FP perspective, but Winter’s expansion includes a Third Person mode as a fun bonus and bit of fan service.

cause its more immersive, if u haven't played RE7, you wouldn't know, cause that game works only in FP, since Village is a direct continuation to it, they kept it.

Re7 is where they decided to reboot the games by going to the roots and that will be survival horror, they chose First Person because its a full focused horror game where someting like re2 remake was a mix between the 2 aiming for thirdperson instead of tank controls

re8 being the followup of re7 only made sense to also be first person while focused on the linier more action rewarding design of re4

thirdperson is pointless when your goal is horror

i want play re8 in first pov help

The reason is....... the developers want it to be first person, since it worked in 7.
Probably someone at Capcom was inspired by first person camera horror games and they were like "let do it".
Also by making it first person,they can save some budget doing Ethan's face animations,it cost money you know.
So it make the game fresh + budget saving + worked with 7 + being a direct sequel, so it probably was a great idea to went for first person.

So you can't see Ethan's face.

It's true though. They were restricted by the hardware so they had to make an alternative choice, which was fixed camera with prerendered backgrounds.

It worked out well, but as soon as they got their hands on better tech with Code Veronica, they immediately tried first person in Battle Mode. And it works surprisingly well

Your reply wasn't censored.

It was steam's usual 'this comment is being reviewed" message. It shows up for EVERY post with or without links involved. And just sometimes takes slightly longer to go away on posts with links.

Your post, link and all, is just fine.
