I think you can be guaranteed that moving forward they will have the over the shoulder camera, as they went to the trouble of adding a 3rd person camera to RE8 a year after it released. It means people were complaining enough about it that they actually did something about it. I see that move as a positive sign for the future. Of course I had no way of knowing they would eventually do that, but I wish I had waited so I could have played it for the first time in 3rd person.
I still didnt play revillage. I dont like re7 and after getting frustrated over both re2-3r, ı skipped the game. I looked up to the update and apparently it seems to be a mod but it's not designed properly? They still dont show ethan's face. It wouldnt matter since ı dont see him as a character but adding a separate camera update to a game featuring a protagonist full of empty husk seems like a waste. For the next game with an actual new story, ı think it should be designed with ots perspective in mind rather than adding a separate update to a game designed around 1st person.
It was officially added as an optional camera mode and it works like their normal over the shoulder camera (Ethan does turn his face away from the camera but that is a design choice). The point I am making is they didn't need to do that a year after release. It shows that Capcom are listening to the feedback that the fans want a 3rd person camera. Also the Shadows of Rose DLC was only in 3rd person, with no first person option. I am sure RE9 will have a 3rd person camera.
I'm playing leon's story for the 1st time on steam, ı played the game before through other means but on steam, ı'm still playing his scenario for the 1st time. I'm quite enjoying it, much more than ı did in fact. I think the game left a poor impression on me at 1st due to the lack of a playable ada scenario but with her scenario taken into account, the game is growing on me. It's the opposite of how ı feel about re7 and re2r where ı grew more and more darker towards them to the point ı played re3r without buying it somewhere else and ı still didnt play revillage. Glad ı'm enjoying it the more ı play it. I'm also using re6 mods to swap leon and ada's outfits and it increases enjoyment more. And in regards to wesker, re4r also has my favourite iteration of mercenaries but re6 mercenaries is still my favourite.
That was the case in the original also. Get 5 stars with every character in every map and that unlocks the handcannon. Keep in mind though the conditions I mentioned didn't account for the additions of Ada, Wesker, and the Docks map.
So this means you need to get s ranks in the 1st 3 maps with leon, luis, krauser and hunk then? Yeah in og game, you need to get the highest ranks with all characters in all maps.
Glad you're enjoying it and cool that everyone else for the most part is.
Yes, exactly! That was how I got the handcannon rather than going through the higher difficulties.
No you arent the only one, ı know others who pointed the laggy aiming and hit detection being carried from previous re engine games here. However despite that, ı still find the gameplay more enjoyable, compared to re2r for example, you can utilize laser with more guns even though one of them is a paid dlc rather than an unlockable. That being said, ı wished there was an option to swap between crosshair and laser like in re6 and rerev2 cause the shooting and melee are still the most enjoyable at those games for me but re4r comes very close to those games' gameplay feel compared to previous re engine games.
I see. I unlocked handcannon in og game before but ı might try to unlock it here too, especially since it's easier here than og game.
Replying to this again but ı just unlocked handcannon by getting a s rank on island with wesker. From what ı looked up, apparently you need to get at least s rank with one character in the 1st 3 stages and then you unlock handcannon. It was really, really and really easy to the point ı didnt even need to try that much. I even died while playing as wesker on island and ı still got a s rank. I'll upgrade its stats later but from a quick aiming, the gun's recoil is way too big. Like even if ı move the camera while aiming, it still effects the crosshair. I feel that ı still prefer elephant killer in re6 cause that's probably my favourite magnum revolver in the entire series along with the game's incredibly smooth mechanics. It seems that it also doesnt carry over to separate ways meaning it's only usable with leon. I wished it could be usable as ada like how sheva and sherry can utilize magnum revolvers in re5 and re6 too.
