Id Tech 5? Very interesting. I really like the engine and the screenshots look tasty.
But... it's a third person perspective game, kind of eliminates the horror when I'm not afraid some monster is going to jump at me but at a character that's covering the whole left side of the screen It was kind of funny, by the way, when playing Resident Evil 5 demo - some zombies or whatever, killed me because I didn't see them... because the view makes it so it's impossible to see what's on the left side of the playable character I focused on an enemy in the front and had no idea something was attacking me from the left.
It would be nice if the game had the option to switch between first person and third person, like TES and Fallout 3/NV, but since this is not a BGS game, it's highly unlikely. I hope there's going to be a demo version...
PS: this looks promising (first person perspective), but is most likely from a cinematic http://i.imgur.com/wKfWP2P.jpg
edit - okay, just found out I missed a thread about this specifically here http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1456258-over-the-shoulder/ - maybe a moderator could move my post over there if it doesn't fit here.
