Rumour: Resident Evil 8 Has Zombies and Werewolves, First-Person, Chris Redfield Returns

Resident Evil 8 will be the most realistic simulation ever played... beta testing has started in Wuhan

I wouldnt be surprised to see Chris Redfirld return. I wonder if the game being in the first person means we can expect it to be VR compatible again.

first person

egghhh, i hate first person horror games

and after 2 Remake showed the 3rd person works great

@FullbringIchigo stop whining gosh

I hope it’s a PSVR 2 launch title if it goes first person again.

With the success of RE2 and probably 3 in a few months, I hope they also keep working on a 3rd person series, maybe Revalations 3 (rev2 was fantastic and I’d love to see Natalia/Alex return)

@Undeadlogan are you stalking me or something, this is the second time you have done a post like this in response to me on a Resi article

and i'm not moaning, i'm stating that I don't like first person horror games so if 8 IS one then it's disappointing TO ME which i'm allowed to do without some random person having a go at me about it

I've updated the story with another source who corroborates the rumour.

I still haven’t played Resident Evil 7 yet.

@FullbringIchigo I’m with you, I haven’t played 7 because of the perspective. I wonder what sold better between 7 and 2 remake. Maybe they could do two separate branches going forward. One in first person with this Ethan person and another in third person with different characters. Separate series but could be in the same ‘universe’ and reference each other.

@BearsEatBeets i played 7 because i'm a huge Resi fan but i just didn't enjoy the game play

the characters and story was great though so just like with Sonic 06, my fandom pushed me through to the end

personally i would rather the first person ones were a spin off series and the main line was 3rd person like Resi 2 and 3 Remakes

PSVR support again, please.

RE7 in VR was awesome.

PSVR support again and I’m all in. Resident Evil 7 in VR takes it to a whole new level compared to the standard game.

Another VR supported title would be awesome - though bar the opening 2 hours I was way to terrified to continue in VR and switched back - maybe they have back room stats to say I wasn’t alone

Glad they decided to keep the first person camera. It definitely made RE7 that much more scarier and claustrophobic.

Can't wait for this and RE3!

@FullbringIchigo I just saw a negative whining comment that's all and aww you be ok

@jFug seems likely this leak is from the scrapped version of resident evil 8

@kyleforrester87 did you say the samething about the wolves in resident evil 4 and revelations?

@BearsEatBeets @FullbringIchigo i can't believe you going crazy over camera angles

Best be in VR....I can't go back to RE on the flat screen again.

@Undeadlogan You seem to have an interesting idea of what going crazy is. We merely expressed our dislike of one style of gameplay and preference for another.

@BearsEatBeets I think the sales are around the same. 2 sold quicker due the nostalgia for the original though.

Id LOVE to see capcom continue doing what they did with the first 2/3rds of re7 first person AND VR!!!
I also think they should simultaneously continue with the classic 3rd person re games.
Both are done so well itd be a shame if they dropped either style

@FullbringIchigo @Undeadlogan Camera angles are important to conveying the narrative and being impactful on the player.
Which is something RE has been doing since the beginning, while I don't really have a problem with RE7 going FPS or, 8 at this point, I do believe that it would serve the franchise better if they kept the 3rd person camera, especially as it's proved by the new remakes.
I get it that the franchise is moving forward and I'm fine with that, but the problem is, most of RE fans (like myself) grew up on the older games (up to Biohazard 4) and just simply love the characters. What would be the point of playing a RE game with Leon, but in First Person?
So even if @BearsEatBeets and @FullbringIchigo were losing their minds, I would understand why. It's not "just" a camera angle. It plays into all of the elements of the game.

@FullbringIchigo Same here i found Resident Evil 7 a Resident Evil in name only with some visits from the main Resi cast.

@kyleforrester87 are you ok?

@BearsEatBeets guy's been doing since resident evil 7 was announced then 2 remake then 3 remake and now 8 which obviously a scrapped version

@Sam-Bridges then go play the original since you stuck in the past and want resident evil to be repetitive like call of duty

@kyleforrester87 you babe

@Undeadlogan not going crazy, just saying i don't like it, if you do then fair be it to ya and i hope you enjoy it when/if it comes out

now on to another matter i don't know if your just trolling or just trying to start arguments but judging by your profile and comments you make i think it's the former so i'm gonna leave it at this if you don't mind

This sounds more like the original RE4 that was being worked on (minus the fpv) with all the ghosts and werewolves and ish. That looked awesome to be fair, but was definitely more a Silent Hill game than a Resi game...

Saying that. Unless they go for speed zombies (like 28 days later), I think I've had my fill of slow zombies after 3 releases, so maybe it wont hurt to spice it up a bit.

PSVR again I hope. Being right IN a RE game - even if its not traditional - was the craziest, most intense, stressful experience ever had in all may years of gaming. And it was insanely fun.
Its too bad that more gamers haven't experienced it .. its incredible.

@Undeadlogan Aw, that hurts!
Why you gotta be like that. I'm just pointing out the facts.
No one's stuck in the past, I said it a few times too. I don't have a problem with the new camera. It's just that I understand why some fans wouldn't prefer it.
And I think that understanding is what you lack here, friend. No one's fighting here.

@FullbringIchigo trolling? Yet you guy's whine over camera angles and how the characters look every time

@Sam-Bridges they want the repetitive fixed camera angles back which not happening

@Undeadlogan Well if you really think a camera angle can take away the repetitiveness of a game, I guess it would serve everyone if COD would switch to the Third Person view. Because that isn't repetitive.

@Undeadlogan i never said a thing about how the characters look in fact i'll give Resi 7 that, it's character designs were great and at least Chris doesn't look like a roided up WWE star anymore

as for camera angles if you read my posts i never once said that they shouldn't so it FPS, i said i'm not a fan of that particular style of game and that i would have preferred a 3rd person, especially coming of Resi 2 Remake, i found the 3rd person style in that game much more creepy that the 1st person style of 7, there was something about the encroaching darkness surrounding the character, the limited view by your torchlight and the fact you can see the characters reactions that just make it more "scary", it also allows me to connect with the character more because you can see them and all their little nuances such as flinching when something falls over or the dirt and blood on them as they take damage that you just don't get from a FPS style

@Sam-Bridges actually i can't believe you thought resident evil 2 remake was gonna have fixed camera angles including 7

@FullbringIchigo so you thought there was a connection with the characters in the early resident evil game's too?

@Undeadlogan yeah i did, for me it helps to see a character, it gives that feeling of each of them being unique i just don't get with games in the first person

now don't get me wrong first person is probably the best way to immerse yourself in a world but i feel it's detrimental to the characterization of the characters you supposed to be playing as

if we use RE7 and RE2 Remake as examples in Resi 7 i never felt like i was playing as Ethan but in Resi 2 Remake i felt like i was playing as Leon

if that makes sense?

@FullbringIchigo so that's the reason it needs to be in third person?

@Undeadlogan no that's why i would LIKE it to be 3rd person but it doesn't have to be 3rd person, if Capcom want to make it 1st person then that's fine i'll still give it a go just like with 7 i would just prefer it to be done in a similar style to Resi 2 Remake, and Resi 4, Resi 5, Resi 6 and the upcoming Resi 3 Remake because i think it works better for this series

@FullbringIchigo it's fine either way plus when the first one came out back in 1996 it was originally going to be in first person but the director shinji mikami didn't like how the graphics looked in first person mode then changed it to third person when he was how alone in the dark looked

@Undeadlogan i'm kind of glad he didn't go first person because if it had ended up like RE Survivor back on the PS1 then series would never had made it past one game

@FullbringIchigo False
