After the Resident Evil Veronica reveal at Summer Game Fest last night, fans worried the remake would adopt the strict first-person perspective of Resident Evil 7 and Village. However, reputable leaker Dusk Golem has since cleared the air, claiming the game will continue the third-person gameplay of previous remakes.
