Sp you think with the 5th year 1st person is optional?

Some know that the older re games are 3rd person but the newer ones are first person and they said they may try to iterate both in so would it be possible to see first person play as an option?

Personally I would love that as an option

I don't think so. Killers having tunnel vision while survivors have more awareness of their surroundings is one the main concepts they built the game on. I think if a survivor tried to play in first person, they'd be screwed.

Much of the survivor's power comes from a killer's view being limited while theirs isn't. A survivor can do 360's without moving their camera, so they don't have to re-orient. When a killer gets turned around, it takes them a second to figure out where they are. Trying to keep an eye on a chasing killer while running away would be really difficult.

I think it would be really cool for survivors to have a 1st person option in custom games and killers to have a 3rd person option in customs as well.

So long as it sticks to customs

I don't think it's viable but I'd still love to try it. I just love actually scary games, and I think a first person survivor mode where the killer has a very small or actually nonexistent TR could make this game scary. But to me that would really be more for the scare factor than actually trying to escape the match lol

No.

I want fp as survivor, don't care if it limits visual awareness or make the game 1000% harder. I have wanted this from the start. Make it optional, doesn't matter if I'm the only survivor using it.
