^^ Agree with that, the controls in this game are just damn terrible.

I still don't get why we need a run button with analogue controls, plus its impossible to run and use the right stick at the same time.
You can actually also run by pressing the left stick...

But that doesn't save the control scheme

Also, if you want to turn around fast press back and hold the A button.

so I again slowly turn 180 degrees and try to escape, rinse repeat. That is RE5 at its core it seems.
If only there was some kind of way to turn around 180 degrees quickly...

This isn't just a RE5 thing. Dead Space, Gears, CoD4... running wasn't accomplished in any of those by just using the analog stick, but I'm willing to bet nobody complained about that.

Well, I've played, and I don't like it at all. The graphics are undoubtedly gorgeous, but the controls make the demo on the verge of unplayable.

I certainly won't be buying it.

I been havin an argument with a friend the past few hours abou the controls. He's never played resi before while resi was the first game i played on the PS1 and I have been a follower since.
I can sorta see it from either side but the nostalgia for what resi once was still has the edge over me. I don't want to see the controls change anymore, I love the claustraphobic feeling of them, the fact you have to stick and move and can only really move forward or backward rather than sideways.
I just keep imagining what the controls would be like that everyone is craving for, the ability to move while shooting, strafing, jumping, ducking and then i see halo. I see the complete transformation of a once great and somewhat unique franchise into the mainstream action genre.

Problem is right now resi doesnt know what it is or wants to be, it wants the fast paced action of todays world along with the intricacies of its roots so it can appeal to both new and old audiences. Problem is, i don't think it will work anymore, the old crowd remain faithful to the nods back to the older games but we can see this huge transformation from what the game used to be like. The new crowd see an action game but just get frustrated with the inability to run and gun and just blast stuff without worrying about ammo or health.

Capcom need to seriously address this, they need to go one way or the other, give players an all out action game with las plagas infected running all over the place and the player with a chaingun. Or go back to t-virus infected with claustraphobic labs and burnt out streets and the player with a handgun.

They already mentioned about changing the control scheme months ago so it looks like the new crowd are going to get thier wish (especially with the demo outcrys) and we'll be even further away from the type of game that resi should be.

gives me and those who disslike the funky controls less to complain about.

the vid made me lol tho....apparently innovation = co-op and being able to move while shooting..haha

now as long as they give a propper spit screen option it should be worth checking out...thats if their "action" control scheme works how it should...heres hoping it does.

I think this will make the game less challenging and ruin aspects of it.

I guess they had to do it so people like Korn would stop whining though.

Absolutely. You can't just up and change something like that without adjusting the entire game and the ways enemies attack you. It'd be like giving mouse control in the single player campaign of a console shooter without making adjustments to the AI accordingly.

I'm terrified by this shoehorning everything that looks like Gears into Gears controls. I'm baffled that's what people even want. Oh well.

It's certainly not what I want, and I'm definitely going to play the game with the same controls as the demo.

Like it wouldn't have been worth checking out anyways.

Apparently people want their games to be easier. I guess this is what casual gaming is doing to video games and gamers now
Controls are considered dated now because it creates a different challenge for the player that they don't want to deal with it

for me....no. not a big enough fan of the resi series anymore. co-op is the only reason im even checking the game out. the same was true for gears of war 2. didnt even attempt to play that on my own, and if it didnt have split screen i wouldnt have even bothered renting it.

as for the new controls making it easier?...im not so sure. it'll just bring it up to date and not feel like it was pulled from the 90's. the set peices, limited ammo/items and various enemies in high numbers should be enough of a challenge as it is without having to fight against broken controls. and as long as these "action controls" work as they should, that will now thankfully be the case.

but at the end of the day, its a win/win situation...you get to play with the crappy controls. people like me get to play the game with post-90's controls. everyone gets what they want. i'd rather have every gamer have the option of how they want to play rather then being forced to use something that doesnt work for them.

it's like killzone 2 and everyone wanting cod4 controls....it wasnt technically how the game was designed, but i appreciate the OPTION to ability use it if i want to.. and i sure as hell will use it, just like i will use this new control scheme for resi 5.

so what if there is a small possibility it will make the game easier for people like me who want a more up to date control scheme. that shouldnt mean diddly squat to you people since you arnt using it anyway.

as i said. win/win.

Not really the old mechanics caused frustration and a cheap way of making it more difficult.

I love the old RE games, the problem here is that Capcom have taken half a step towards run and gun and its understandable that people aren't going to put up with clunky controls.

I can appreicate Capcom wanting to make the game appeal to the Gears crowd after all its a large demographic.

Im not sure why anyone is crying about this anyway, from what I can tell people get the choice, if gamers want to make it easier, Ie A character that doesn't spaz about when you try to control them, good for them.

Look I can understand that fans wouldn't want it anyway else...
But try to understand people who jump in after not being able to play the previous Resident Evil games; it's a control scheme that is hard to get used to/enjoy if you are used to more "flexible controls".

My friend has never played any of the past resident evils so I told him to check out the new demo. He thought the controls were absolutely crap. Which is completely understandable because frankly, they are. Why should a game have to use this false method of inducing fear? I welcome this new control scheme.

Ps. Dead Space was scary.

Remember how you didn't run by holding down a button in Sonic like you did in Mario?

These days if something looks the same it apparently has to play the same. If you don't like RE5 that's a great thing, that means someone who doesn't like Gears may like RE5 instead.

I dunno when gaming became so uniform. :(

So instead of delivering controls that people are comfortable/handy with, they should deliver a control scheme that is typically Resident Evil (a.k.a. outdated) to make a game stand out of the crowd....

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind a change and I don't mind new control scheme's but this doesn't feel innovative, it feels old, clumsy and slow....

If every game delivered what people were comfortable with we'd have three games on the market today. Need for Speed, World of Warcraft and Madden.

It's pretty clear that a lot of people have no issues with the controls, and most people have issues because it simply doesn't play like they're used to.

I'm not just saying this in regards to RE, mind, it's a trend I'm noticing in gaming on the whole. Metroid Prime came out in a climate where Halo hadn't festered nearly as much as it has now in terms of controls, and a lot of people were still upset that Metroid didn't control like an FPS.

You'd probably hear comments like Prime's handling being "crummy" from those people, but hey the game is unique and awesome in large part thanks to its different approach to the gameplay.

If we're gonna service the big crowd that are uncomfortable skipping from one TPS to the next if they don't all play the same then we're in big trouble. Or rather; variety is.
