To the whole old style vs new style debate, I think that you should approach this issue from another point of view. The main reason why the fixed cameras of the old Resident Evil worked was because you had the whole thing on Play Station but even there the controls where clunky, if you now think about how you normally control games on PC you will see the problem.

So if you can make the controls work that they come out not to clunky than this old style will be not problem.
