First-person or third-person: which camera do players want in Resident Evil Veronica, Turok Origins and Silent Hill Townfall?
What the comments really say about the camera perspective in these three games, with the numbers.
The context
Capcom unveiled Resident Evil Veronica, a remake of Resident Evil – Code: Veronica (Dreamcast, 2000), on June 5, 2026 during Summer Game Fest. Executive producer Jun Takeuchi presented the reveal alongside host Geoff Keighley. The game runs on the RE Engine and is scheduled for 2027 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2 and PC.
The announcement trailer showed no gameplay but included sections shot in first person. In a Q&A at Summer Game Fest 2026, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said the game will ship with a third-person camera only, with no option to switch to first person as in Resident Evil Requiem. He likened Veronica's relationship to the original to that of the Resident Evil 2 remake.
