Jill will be at a tactical disadvantage in first person mode.

Okay, that's cool BUT WHO IS HER FACE SCAN MODEL?

>>712412532
I'm surprised she leans more to the right of the screen in third-person. Usually the playable character would be on the left side.

Second player better be Kevin

I thought RE 8 showed they had learned some lessons with character design and now we're right back to 2010 slop.

Cover the head and it could literally be a guy.

No fixed camera no buy

Don’t care about the perspective, I just wish Capcom would stop blue balling with Outbreak. I don’t understand the constant nods to the games but never doing anything with them. They even refuse to make new multiplayer RE games with a similar design. The constant references just keep the port / remake begging going.

>>712413751
i think they would fucked up outbreak like re 3 remake so it's better that they don't touch it

>>712414010
I’m not even expecting a remake because that would take both time and money of which Capcom refuses to give to their projects unless they are big ballers. Just get some third party to shit out a port of the old games then that would shut the Outbreak fanbase up. They used to do that with their old pc ports of RE but refuse to do so now which I don’t understand.

>First person AND third person
I dunno, this doesn't sound that good in practice, one of the two modes is going to drag down the other

>>712416356
Yeah, there's a chance that the gameplay could devolve into a "jack of all trades, master of none" issue. At least this time it was designed from the ground up, unlike RE8, but it's still unclear what it's going to look like.

>>712412810
Every game ever now let's you toggle which side anon.

>>712417887
Huh, I didn't know that. Neat.

Outbreak File #2: Underbelly.

>>712410807 (OP)
what I heard about the demo sounded quite boring to me. the one reason why I'll never replay re8 is because the doll house section is just a slog on subsequent playthroughs because nothing actually happens that is of any interest from a gameplay perspective. it's just a haunted house type attraction. and those only work on you once. i don't need re9: alien isolation edition. and even if the game does have combat and such, in the end it'll still be dragged down by the times they try to make it a horror walking sim. also, many people are celebrating 3rd person/first person toggle but to me this just feels like once again capcom are giving up an element that you tend to fundamentally design a game around for the sake of removing le friction, which is what made mh wilds so boring

>>712410904
ludo design

>>712418308
It's the same director as RE7, so it will be way more like RE7 than 8. And that's what the previews agree on: the level of interactivity with the environment resembles 7 more than it does 8 (which had very little interactivity with things like light switches or attention to detail in door opening animations etc.).
We can assume that this preview comes from the very beginning of the game where, just like in RE7, the player character is powerless and is unfortunately forced to play a gay little pseudo-outlast style game of hide and seek with the stalker (nu-Lisa Trevor in 9 VS Jack Baker in 7). We can also assume that the game gets more combat and route/strategy driven over time like 7 did

>just feels like once again capcom are giving up an element that you tend to fundamentally design a game around
What's to say 1st + 3rd person ISN'T what they fundamentally designed the game around? It is possible to design environments that are appropriate for both.

>>712418626
well re7 would never even be in my consideration for a replay so that's unfortunate. easily the worst re game I've played. and while every re game tends to have a lackluster second half compared to the first, the ship level is by far the worst they've ever made. actually regret that I pushed through just to finish it.

I guess outbreak remakes are the next thing after they run out of main games
