So the 3rd person mode is released today. But I'm confused, do you have to buy an expansion pack in order to get the 3rd person option? I'd love to jump back into the game if the 3rd person mode is available for the regular version I bought.

I thought of revisiting this game because I think part of what I strongly disliked about it was the first person view but TP option apparently is only as part of the DLC. Not paying for that.

I'm not paying either. 

Neither of you have an interest in the Shadows of Rose expansion? That’s mainly what you buy the DLC for, the third person mode option is basically a bonus.

No, I have no interest in that DLC. I just wanted to mess around in 3rd person a little bit and call it a day.

No, I just wanted to give the base game another shot in 3rd person because I hated the FP view but I'm not paying for a DLC just to see if I like it now.

There's a demo of just the third person mode so you can play the demo and leave the dlc for the TRUE fans.

Already played the demo and liked it more in 3rd person, that's why I would've given the game another shot. I initially thought 3rd person mode would just be added but it's part of the DLC overall. 

 

Yes, the TRUE fans :jordan:

Tried the 3rd person view out and I really like it. Although I'm litteraly stuck in the demo not sure where to go. 😅 

 

I played this initially on last gen so I was really impressed with the visuals in this. I guess RE4 is using the same engine? 

 

Edit: I found out where to go but the demo timed out. I think I'm going to buy the dlc if that means I can play the entire game in 3rd person. I only beat it once and like to experience it again.

Bit of a bump here but I bought the expansion, played through RE8 in 3rd person again and did the Rose DLC.

 

RE8 remains a 6.5 or 7/10 tops for me and a big part of that is the actual village's level design and the Factory area being great. I have a lot of issues with this game especially coming off RE1 Remake. For everything it does right, it seems to fumble massively somewhere else and its "please everyone, throw everything at the wall and see what sticks" approach makes it a weaker game imo. The House Bien... going full YouTube Horror with creepy dolls and that played-out-as-hell Hide & Seek segment especially was a low point. The game really is wildly inconsistent, even graphically.

 

This brings me to Shadows of Rose DLC. I'm not being hyperbolic when I say I think this is up there with the worst RE content ever and between this and RE8's weak combat and terrible gunplay, I really wonder wtf is going on at Capcom and if they can pull off RE4 Remake.

 

Shadows is like a greatest hits of all the shit I hate about modern Horror games. Frequent forced stealth sections with weak mechanics (press crpuch and wait), constant insta-kills, an absurd amount of "press forward and run out while insta-kill chases you" segments for a 3 hour DLC, obnoxiously long damage and death animations from enemies, zero new areas but 100% recycled. 

 

And then there's the last boss fight with...the same end boss again. Only this time you get to learn boring-ass new mechanics while the boss babbles endlessly AND in the middle of the fight. RE mostly has terrible boss fights imo but they really did it up in this one. I thought base Miranda was dog shit...DLC Miranda swooped in and asked to hold that beer.

 

I'm somewhat baffled by the amount of positive reactions for Nu Resident Evil in general but seeing Shadows generally has good reviews blew my mind just now. I'm not even some die-hard fan but this just isn't at all what I want from a RE game.

 

I don't even know what to rate the DLC, I REALLY had to force myself through it and it's 3 hours. Really a low point in a series full of bad or weak entries.

Did you see they're making a feature film just using the RE Engine graphics?? 

 

I feel like we're close to a tipping point on public opinion for RE. I'm afraid they're gonna go to the well too many times even if they're putting out generally quality products. 

 

This is coming from a massive fan.
