Can the Killers' First-Person Mori's Return?
While the forced 3rd-person perspective is certainly cinematic, I do miss the different camera angles that were used during moris to differentiate how the animation looked for both the survivor and killer. Ie, Killer saw the mori play out in 1st-person, while survivor saw themselves brutalized in 3rd-person.
There's no well-defined point when these truly started to lean into exclusively 3rd-person cameras. Hag was the first killer to force this perspective in her mori, but the following chapters with Doctor, Huntress, and Leatherface instead used the original dual-perspectives style. I believe Clown's mori was the last time this split-style was used for the animation.
It's something I miss as a unique feature of the mori animations that I would like to see return (and retroactively added to the killers who currently only use 3rd-person cameras during their mori's). I think it could definitely be an interesting plus for the immersion factor at least, since you wouldn't be briefly ejected outside of your killer.
For the killer players that exclusively want to stick with the same cinematic 3rd-person perspective that survivors see while being mori'd, there could simply be an option to switch between which camera will be used during the animation in the Settings. This would also allow players that really like this perspective to see it on killers who normally do use the dual-perspectives for their mori's too (such as with Wraith or Leatherface).

Well it allows him to be a lot more cinematic with them mori when they do it that way.
In fact the third person mori review are consistently some of the best moris in the game.
Hag
Legion
Oni
Are just three of The Killers whose moris are consistently in the top 5 when it comes to people's mori list.
Honestly in my opinion the only Moris that really benefit from the first-person perspective are Nurse Michael and Doctor.
That's mainly because of the survivors reactions that you get to see up close or in the doctor's case the aftermath.
For everyone else it doesn't really enhance anything. Everything that is witnessed in the first-person perspective of all the others could pretty much just easily be done in third person without losing anything.

You literally barely see whats going on in first person, its boring as all hell and honestly the old first person mori's should be replaced entirely.

The problem is first person mori's limit the devs ability imo. Imagine trying to show a Plague or Demogorgan mori without the 3rd person view.
Maybe if it suits a killer it would be nice to see them again.

I actually disagree. I personally began to bore of a lot of the moris that always use a single perspective (the survivor's) because they look the same EVERY time, regardless of which role you're playing as. Plus a lot of the 3rd person ones have a nasty tendency to clip through walls because of how/where the camera zooms out.
And this is why I suggested that they don't remove the 3rd person version (what I'm going to call the "survivor angle"), just add back the 1st person "killer angle" for players like me who prefer it. It's also why I suggested allowing players to simply choose their preference as far as which of these angles the mori-camera snaps to for the animation.
If people like me want to see Hag or Oni's mori from the killer's POV, we could. If other players want to see ALL the moris (including classics like Doctor or Nurse) from the 3rd person view, they could also have the option (especially since every killer already has one of those).
It's not like the devs would need to re-create these animations either (though it could be an opportunity to update the original trio's vintage mori's), they would just need to mount and move a first person camera to work with the handful of killers that don't use it at all.
