1st person Survivor in lockers? Map specific pallets/lockers?

This is something I've been wanting for a long time. Why is it that in RPD we can't have pallets that look more like the one Wesker broke in the trailer with metal bars and stuff leaning on it? Why can't we have lockers that actually look space reminiscent in the new Alien map? Is there ever a chance we see them do this? I know the devs don't like to change something just to change something, but come on..it would be way more immersive to see lockers/pallets that actually match the environment we're currently in.. Seeing wooden pallets in space..really?..


Toward most game studios, this type of question would never come up because of how obvious it is. You'd think this is something we wouldn't even have to ask for due to the devs having done it already. Has this really not crossed their minds? I mean we're just now getting settings to turn off/on in the Graphics menu that weren't there for years so perhaps I shouldn't be surprised. I just feel very strongly that different pallets and especially lockers, would really add to the immersion of the game.. Seeing those same lockers on every.....single.....map...is really off putting.. :/

    It would also be nice to see them take lockers in a whole new direction for Survivor to give us some actual horror feels when we're playing. Why can't lockers be in 1st person and Survivors can see out of the holes? That would add so much immersion for people. It really doesn't make sense for lockers to be 3rd person anyway, because as you get in the locker, your eyeballs are not outside of the locker last I checked....lol..


    They even had this concept in their Launch Trailer funny enough and never implemented it.. There is a HUGE opportunity for players being scared just with this idea alone. Would certainly add a whole new twist to the heartbeat as you're hiding in the locker hoping they don't find you.. I'd love to see them add this.


    You would open the locker in 3rd person as usual.

    Then once inside this is what you see while hearing the heartbeat! @.@

    And when they find you...........GUESS WHAT??!!!!

    Many people would need to clean their pants after something like that. It would really add a whole other level to lockers.. Survivors have mentioned wanting a 1st person mode for quite some time, so maybe we can just give Survivors this new locker 1st person view and watch people feel a new level of fear in the game! If you wanted to make it even scarier..you could make it to where Survivors don't hear the heartbeat at all in lockers, but anyways I'm curious to see if people would be accepting of this idea.
