Resident Evil 5 (360/PS3)

What's the worst thing they can do? Make us use the face buttons to move? Return of Tank controls?

I'm just saying, it's not like the RE guys couldn't program the characters to move and shoot before, so it's clearly a design decision. Therefore if they changed it now it would completely throw off the balance of the game because the zombies are slower etc. because you have to stop and shoot rather than aim and move at the same time.

Not that they aren't smart enough to re-balance the game, but I still worry.

Looks far too stressful for my tastes.

RE5 looks good, I just feel a little bit like this is RE4 Spaniards with Africans.

That's how I feel.

Capcom seems incapable to learn from their mistakes. RE1 and 2 were fantastic games, but the series fell off with 3 and VC because they kept doing the same thing. REmake was a solid upgrade but still more of the same, and then 0 was more averageness. Then, they finally make a serious upgrade, and then go right back into the same thing.

Resident Evil 5 to get 'Gears-like' Controls

Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 5's control system is to undergo an overhaul, with a revised scheme to be unveiled at this October's Tokyo Game Show.

While Resident Evil 5 looks set to be one of the most attractive titles when it hits both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 early next March, there have been some misgivings about its rehashing of the now-dated control scheme introduced in 2005's Resident Evil 4.

Following rumours it would be replaced, the games producer Jun Takeuchi – speaking at the recent Microsoft Media Briefing, at which Kotaku were in attendance - confirmed that the changes would be made public at the imminent Tokyo Game Show.

With Takeuchi referring to the new system as similar to Gears of War, expect a new duck and cover system to replace the classic Resident Evil style of stop and shoot. How the changes will affect the slow tension engendered by the older system that's been a series staple remains to be seen, but we'll be bringing you full impressions from the Tokyo Game Show this October.

Info from GamesTM Magazine

• "The previous ten years of Chris's life is something that will be very important in the story of Resident Evil 5."
• It was difficult to make an RE4-like game without sticking close to the formula, but the teams thinks they have introduced enough new elements into the game to set it apart.
• Every single location was created with teamwork in mind.
• A demo is coming early next year!
• Players will be injured enough to where it restricts their movement and their ability to fight back. When this happens, the co-op player must inject a "life-saving serum" before they succom to an instant kill by an enemy.
• A "locate player" button is instituted, which will focus your camera on your co-op partner.
• Another way to locate a player is by bringing up a small real-time map.
• As shown in gameplay demos, the inventory is back to the original format, rather than Leon's briefcase.
• The axe-man will sometimes grab and choke the life out of you, requiring intervention from your partner to stop him.
• "We want to continue the story...mentioned in Code Veronica, that Africa is the origin of the virus."
• Excella Gionne is the CEO of a pharmaceutical company and is secretly consipiring with Wesker.
• The new control scheme is OPTIONAL and has been named "D-Type Controls". They allow you to strafe left or right, and manipulate the camera (and aiming) with the right stick. The left trigger is aim button, and the right trigger is shoot. You wont be able to move while shooting. The changes were a late addition.
• Several BOW's from the pre-RE4 era will return!
• Wesker may get involved directly this time, given his history with Chris.
• Players dislike of Ashley led the team to create the capable partner in Sheeva.
• Masachika Kawata admits that the story of 4 was not as good, but he says 5's should keep you hooked from beginning to end.
