Why the hell do games barely ever do third person like this anymore? Finding a 3rd person shooter that isn't over the shoulder RE4 style is pretty much impossible now.
Because it's easier to do the over the shoulder thing. Because the character is in the middle of the screen they were forced to make the first person aiming. Which means all the animations and the extra details on guns as well. With over the shoulder there doesn't need to be as much detail in the guns, animations, etc. Plus it allows you to see what is directly in front of you instead of having to angle the camera to see it.

You must have been born after 2005.

Because shooting in third person is complete shoot if it's not over the shoulder, dumb ass.

Nice bait faggot.

Because CoD kiddies and /k/ autists want HIGH DETAIL FULL MERSION FPS SHOOTAN
It's almost like I'm actually there, doing the super cool gun shoots.

People that play cod don't think like that. Only a sperg like you would

I have never read a more poorly though out and bullshit response in my life.
The answer OP, is it allows developers to show off the characters more, and be closer to them to show of details.

Nah son
I wish more games were as tight as RE4, I like it when the camera humps the character like that.

Yeah but it's overdone and RE4 was a horror shooter that was atmospheric. So the over the shoulder complimented the style.

How can I convince my faggot flatmate that Resident evil 4 was indeed much better of a game than 5 and 6?
He says it's just nostalgia because 5 is basically the same gameplay and 6 improves on everything, and I get so mad I can't even properly reason the obvious.

But they do. CoD dudebros fucking love their guns, and will literally sound like a voice acted /k/ thread.
You'd know this if people didn't start whispering about you when you entered a room.
