I think people miss the point of why 1st person even exists in games, let alone in VR.
Yes, it would be sorta cool to have 3rd person in 2077, but I'm pretty sure a lot would say the same for just about every game known to man, but not everything has to be over the shoulder 3rd person, in order to tell a good story, let alone an impactful one.
We live our daily lives entirely in 1st person, and that's our general immersive way of viewing the world, through our own eyes, not some random camera floating behind us at all times, and I feel like some ppl miss that common fact of life.
Also, looking at the clip itself, the facial expressions from V are more uncanny valley or very stiff looking/rigid, and don't really convey powerful emotion, thus making 3rd person look like a bit of a joke.
I liked how Red Faction, Doom, Half Life and Halo were all 1st person games, and I enjoyed all their stories and felt impacted by most of them, so why do they have to be in third person in order to be more valid over first person?.
Whenever I play 2077 it's 95% spent in 1st person mode, and some rare times when I'm in town, and the roads are narrow, only then will I go into 3rd person mode with a bike/car, but outside of those moments, I find myself immersed by simply driving in first person and getting out of my car/bike in the same mode (it actually feels jarring to go from a 3rd person camera angle in games, straight into a first person one shortly after, and 2077 feels much like that).
Mankind, in its arrogance and self-delusion, must believe they are the mirrors to God in both their image and their power. If something shatters that mirror, then it must be totally destroyed.
