My Thoughts

Man this is so disappointing to me. I am glad they are going back to their roots and the game looks amazing but first person, ugh I can't take it. I been playing Resident Evil ever since 1 and it has always been a third person game, I don't understand why they so suddenly changed it and completely disregarded their fans.

Copy of a game already made?

This look and feels exactly like an existing game called Silent Hill PT. Why are they going for such a completely different feeling it makes no sense and confuses the audience on what to think and makes it hard to see where they are trying to go with all of this. I think most fans fear that this isn't going to be a "Resident Evil" since it sure doesn't feel like or look like one.

Going back to roots doesn't mean changing the whole entire formula.

I don't understand why they are changing their entire formula, I feel the game doesn't play the same as the old ones in the demo (I know it's not the full game), but even other RE demos feel like a enhanced version of their latter. I feel as if Resident Evil is meant to be played in 3rd person, not only because that is my favorite play style but also because you are supposed to be playing with memorable characters, and I feel as if you need to see them.

First person and 3rd person

I have seen in so many other games that you can switch between the two (At least in MMORPGS). Why can't this be implemented this would fit both audiences and tackle the divide. Could be an option such as (Third person { Classic }, or First Person). I feel if other companies could do it with lower budgets than it wouldn't be out of reach for a big company like Capcom.

Conclusion

I am not going to say I would never play the game but at this point it doesn't look like I will even purchase it which is fine with me since I have the RE2 remake to look forward to. The game still has a ton of adjustments to make since it hasn't even been released yet, who knows they could be reading our comments right now and decide hey maybe we should change it so that way we don't put to much stress on the people who got us here today and stay loyal to our brand (Doubtful but optimistic look at FFXIV). Some change is a good thing but completely taking it apart and putting it back together could be a bad thing. This could be a make or break for them either they are going to put a nail in their coffin or they are going to make great success with this game.
