Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> is quite unique in that it allows players to choose whether they experience the game in first or third-person.<\/p>\n

In fact, you can experiment quite a bit with it, utilising different perspectives depending on whether you’re playing as Leon Kennedy or Grace Ashcroft. According to developer Koshi Nakanishi in an interview with Denfaminico Gamer<\/a> (thanks, VGC<\/a>), players were pretty keen to play as Leon in third-person, but were a little more indecisive with Grace.<\/p>\n

If you’ve played Requiem, you’ll know that it recommends you play as Leon in third-person and Grace in first-person. However, Nakanishi states that about 90% of people play Leon’s scenario in third-person mode, while only 60% of players experienced Grace’s story in first-person, with 40% switching to third-person.<\/p>\n

It’s likely that most people opted for third-person during Leon’s segments because his appearances in Resident Evil 2<\/a> and Resident Evil 4<\/a> also took the same approach. As for the 40% who switched Grace’s perspective to third-person, it’s possible that they just wanted some parity between the two scenarios. Well, either that or they were simply too scared to experience the horrors in first-person.<\/p>\n

Nakanishi notes that players in Japan and other parts of Asia tend to prefer third-person games, while producer Masoto Kumazawa clarifies that the end results were largely in line with development expectations.<\/p>\n

Still, very fascinating indeed!<\/p>\n

What were your camera preferences when playing Resident Evil Requiem? Did you stick to the game’s recommendation? Let us know.<\/p>\n
