Honestly, I prefer third-person but would love to have a mode where it swaps to fixed camera angles. It's probably not as easy to program as the FPS/TPS switch that 8/9 had, but would be a good way to keep your modern audience and celebrate the classic style.

I don't think you can design a game that works in both styles without compromising, fixed angles were very much tied to the design. Not to say it might not be a worthy compromise, but still would feel like a half measure.

interestingly enough this game exists it's called cold fear its a resident evil clone set on a ship and it has code veronica style fixed camera angles (but with spatial movement rather than pre-rendered backgrounds) and then when you aim it goes into an RE4 style aim mode

Oh yeah! I haven't played it yet, but I definitely remember seeing snippets of the game over the years. I was thinking more of, like, a toggle in the settings or a choice at the start of the game, but Cold Fear's way of handling it was certainly unique.
