Yes, because First Person adds more fun to the game then a new combat system that forces 3rd person. I would say they should only implement a new combat system if they retain First Person - they can use Dying Light for inspiration if they want.
And these people who are trying to say a game sequel means the core of the game should change are clearly not very familiar with the gaming industry. Literally 90%+ of games that release a sequel don’t change the core of the game - they add a new story, characters, graphics, weapons, features, fixes etc. That’s literally the standard (Halo, COD, Diablo, Fifa, Kingdom of Hearts, I could literally go on forever). So please stop trying to act like a game sequel is meant to radically change the core of a game like flipping from First Person to Third Person. That’s an entirely new game, not a sequel.
