I'm with you. FPS RE would be horrible. At least we have a real RE game that will hopefully be a lot better than 5.
As long as it plays well and is fun I'm all for the change.
Plus its a handheld game, I'm sure the main ones on consoles will remain 3rd person!

It looks like even if it's only allowing first-person, it's not really much of a change. It's just a slightly more zoomed-in version of RE 4/5's aiming, they probably only zoom in to pseudo-first person to account for the smaller screen.
I'd say you shouldn't worry too much Holmes. It's probably a question of game design. Because the screen is smaller it would make sense to eliminate the camera angle in which the character half of the screen...
So basically they're making the brave jump that Metal Gear already made nearly a decade ago? And Metal Gear never turned into an FPS...
To me, changing the series into an FPS is similar to changing it into running and gunning - it would just be more Call of Duty and Gears, respectively. And those series are just great on their own, without more things crowding the market.
While I don't think that RE needs to change perspective, it certainly needs to evolve. I'm not sure if Mercenaries is the right direction though. Mercenaries mode just accentuates the problems with RE. It essentially takes a game were combat is supposed to be a last resort, and bases an entire game of the weakest part of the franchise.
You truly do sound like a broken record.
So what if instead of viewing the back of your character's head now, you actually see down the gun barrel? Yeah, considering the small screen size I don't have any problem with this. Being able to get the laser over far off enemies on a bigger screen was hard enough. Without the zooming in on a small screen, I'm pretty sure there would be a problem.
Especially considering the argument that the tank controls make shit tense by making you create some distance between the enemy. On a small screen, aiming would be awful to shoot far off enemies.

Is not in first person. It's just zoomed too much. It looks like they cropped the picture to only show the hand :P
Didn't the 3DS have a glorious widescreen? Because from the looks of this games, the screen size is the same as the DS. Or is this the touch screen?
oh, my bad! I didn't see the second video. Then again, why does the first video look like a DS game, and the second look like an actual 3DS title?
Wow, the graphics look pretty good. Seriously, the 3DS seems like it's going to be a great system.
Regarding the gameplay videos, I agree with some people here. It's just a zoomed version of RE4/5's perpective, I don't see the big issue here. About the tank controls, I think that, since this is a Mercenaries game, it's main focus is in action, so the moving-while-shooting it's not such a bad decision.
The thing is in the main RE games. RE5 got distanced too much from the previous REs

I wonder if you can shoot without zooming in to aim ...
Personally, I think the more pressing problem is how Capcom plans on selling this as a retail title. Unless Nintendo has worked miracles with their online initiative (which is STILL a relative unknown), I'm not sure how much of an audience will arise to pay/play this type of game.

looks amazing. street fighter iv, monster hunter and this will keep me and friends up some endless nights :)
I think it's great that both games will have different controls. I don't really see what the issue is.
"Resident Evil is one of the last great 3rd person shooter series still going"
Which is precisely what's wrong with it, that it has become a 3rd person shooter. Puzzles, running the fuck away and the occasional knife to the knees is what Resident Evil should be about, not this over the shoulder, near infinite ammo bullshit.

@Ace Flibble
I completely disagree. RE took steps to end its timidity and lock itself down as franchise that is just as big, if not bigger than the likes of Halo and Call of Duty (not necessarily in sales per se, but in notoriety for sure). Had it continued the old trend of fixed cameras, large backtracking sequences and tedious puzzles, the franchise would have long since faded into obscurity.
As for me and my personal opinion, I loved both RE4 and RE5 (RE4 more so) and I remain hopeful that the franchise continues to evolve the way it has been for the past few years.

actually they're going more metal gear style action based. especially you can aim at over the shoulder or first person not to mention the mini map reminded me of the soliton radar from MGS ^^
@ RockWallofMight359
That's probably why Revelations is returning to its roots then?
Fair dos to your opinion, but I think it's a shame some people seem to think that moving in the direction of Call of Duty or Halo, away from the actual survival horror genre and pandering to the masses with all this balls out action is "evolution".
Then again, I'm one of the few people who think there actually is some hope left for the survival horror genre if developers had the balls to actually do it properly (easier said than done, I guess) instead of giving Chris Redfield steroids, have him punch boulders into magma, have incredibly bad cover mechanics and pick up a wealth of ammo and weapons from the dissolving bodies of the least intimidating enemies in any RE game. Even the crows were more of a challenge.
Resident Evil 5 was a poor man's Gears of War/Dead Space. The franchise doesn't even know what it is anymore or where it's going. But if Revelations is anything to go by, I think going back to its roots is the right direction

Don't care for Mercenaries in the slightest.
At least its not wasting space on the RE Revelations card, so I can live with that.

Looks more like they're just giving you a better view. You're not "switching", you're simply holding down the button to aim your gun and it's going to this view automatically and quickly, then promptly leaving that view as soon as you stop aiming.
I could be wrong, but that's what I see. Doesn't bother me too much, though it will make it even harder to see what's behind you or on your sides.
Perhaps this is a good thing? Give us a bit of movement but take away our peripheral vision? Sounds like a decent compromise of action and fear tactics.

I doubt it will be as bad as Resi 5 is. In addition it's based on a competitive extra mode in the Resi games, I doubt this will be a theme in future games that are closer to the main series.
I've never been much of an FPS player. The concept of losing RE's unique stand-and-shoot restraint in addition to the over-the-shoulder camera for gunplay is incredibly disappointing to me.
Also, @Skribble,
Seconded. An RE2 remake would give me an aneurism of delight, if that's possible.

I just want a game that will make me feel like Resident Evil 4.......
Dead Space doesn't cut it, awesome as it is.

@ EDS- You could be right. I'm really looking forward to more footage so I can see for sure.
Either way, I'm still going to enjoy RE: The Mercenaries 3D, but I would prefer to play without the FPS feel. It just feels wrong.
And agreed about Dead Space. I have a lot of respect for the series for Dead Space 1 and Dead Space: Extraction, but neither have entered classic status in my brain. Maybe that will change with Dead Space 2 though.

What the fuck? Resident Evil is a survival horror series!

WAS a survival horror series. Did you really try to survive in RE4 or 5? No; you tried to maximize your ass kicking abilities. Not that I have a problem with it. And being a 3rd person shooter has nothing to do with being survival horror anyways. Dead Space(although I didn't really find it scary) is an example of that.

Yeah, I really don't think that's first person; looks way more like a zoomed in over-the-shoulder cam to me, which is probably due to the small screen.
I think that Resident Evil should be made into a First-Person Survival. If anything I think that would heavily suit the Resident Evil series. You have NO HUD. And if you do it's very remiscent of the Resident Evil 1 HUD. I was also thinking of remaking Resident Evil 1 or some other Resident Evil game first person. But don't make it arcadish. Make it spooky and realistic. I mean it would have good graphics. The gameplay will scare the shit out of you.. and your HUD... You have no HUD. The only damage indicator is an arrow similar to what you see in the Unreal games. You have no ammo indicator. You have no idea what's your objective. You just... well.. you get the idea. I want a first-person survival. It's possible and it can be made. No multiplayer... Just a singleplayer campaign that scares the shit out of you. And it's first-person. No HUD. And I would like a Survival Mode... where you can't see your health indicator. And.. you have dozens of Zombies coming in. It would be a seller. What do you think of that idea?
A FPS RE would be great. You just have to do it right. If you make it like some modern game it would ruin it. You have to make an own genre. Make it a First-Person Survival. NO HUD, NO AMMO INDICATOR! And it would scare the shit out of you... So bad...
I'm serious about this too. :P
Just saying. Imagine the possibilities.

I think a first-person survival Resident Evil would be kool. You just hav to do it right. Just no HUD. Simple as that. It adds a sense of dread. You don't know how much bullets you have in your gun. You can use the gun also as a melee weapon once it's out of mag. And, you would have no health indicator. Just flesh wounds. At first they are there... but then they start to form into scabs. You can pick up First-Aid Kits and heal them. Also, it would make a very good idea. Doesn't anyone agree???? :P
