Re: Resident Evil 5 announced for Xbox 360 & PS3

I've been playing the Demo. The game looks great but the controls SUCK! This is by far the worst control scheme I've ever used in a shooter. I can't shoot from the hip at all. I run like I just had anal sex. I can't do anything with the knife except slice horizontally. I can't melee at all unless I'm right up on someone, and even in that there's no combos.

To equip my gun I have to seriously bring up a menu, click the gun and choose "EQUIP" from another dropdown menu, all during gameplay. Are you kidding me?

Agreed the controls are terrible, I will wait until the price drops before getting it.

I especially hate that you can't walk and aim at the same time, how lame is that, and that menu system is terrible.

How much could they have changed from Resident Evil 4?

Re: Resident Evil 5 announced for Xbox 360 & PS3

Its not so much that the controls are bad, the darn camera is too close. I remember in RE4 where it was a bit drawn back.

Graphically, this thing looks great. But these controls & camera leave a lot to be desired. Being a longtime RE fan, this could almost make you cry. LOL!

The other problem is that at the rate these guys are coming at you, unlimited ammo would have made sense or giving you more than so little.

The controls sound like RE4, are they any different? Is the only problem the camera angle.

That's the beauty of RE4 that controls are tricky to use but they give you slow moving enemies. It's a challenge jut done differently so you're not running and gunning.

To the people who are complaining. Did you play RE4 because it sounds like the exact same control scheme.

Hot keys for the gun are on the D-pad.

The controls are stiff and awkward, but they force you to strategize. Once you get used to it, the game is really sick.

You dont have to do this. You can hotkey them to your D-Pad.

100% Agree

Yea i realized this after seeing the impressions thread. And from playing the demo it seems like it has so much potential and I really wish it had a different control scheme. And I agree with Born too that once you get used to the controls the game's sick.

But I just can't get used to the controls and everything feels too slow. There's just too many inconvenient things like the uselessness of the knife, the fact that i can't pick up zombie weapons, the fact that I feel like I'm running in cinder blocks, and lack of firing from the hip.

The controls are similar to RE4 from what I can remember. My biggest complaint has to do is with the darn camera and how much closer it is.

Re: Resident Evil 5 announced for Xbox 360 &amp; PS3

there is a video in the Inside Xbox section of the dashboard that has an interview with a dev. he stated that there is an option to turn the controls into an "action" control, allowing you to shoot while moving. not sure if that option is available in the demo though.

Checking this action control business out right now....

I was about to post the same thing. When I looked through the controller configs before I didn't see anything like what he described. I did notice that config B and D were identical even though the description of D is a combination of B and C I think.

Re: Resident Evil 5 announced for Xbox 360 &amp; PS3

It seems that this action control addition would undermine the spirit of the game. For me it's akin to having a control choice as to whether you can use a scope or not in a FPS.
