I hate the Resident Evil controls. Gear of War-like sounds like just the ticket.

Hopefully you can choose the other controls in the options menu. I'm fine with the controls RE4 had. I don't want crappy Gears of War controls.

A lot of people were complaining about not being able to move and shoot so this is a welcome surprise.

The only question I have is whether or not the movement can be done while aiming?

I will get used to any new control scheme for Resident Evil!
Especially if it's a direct sequel to the main series. (done by the creator, Shinji Mikami)

You doubt the great RE4? Because That was what I was referring to.

Edit: and you didn't like Resident Evil 2?

I couldn't stand that manufactured terror angle on the RE4 controls.

With the new proper controls this game just went from a pass to a buy.

(Parting Cheap Shot to follow): Maybe this signals a new era in Japanese game development, like maybe SquareEnix and Koei will stop making the same game 20 times a year :)

If they change the controls, it will feel like a TPS...what's the point in changing it into a TPS???

That's like Devil May Cry and God of War going turn-based...they just don't work with the gameplay.

Have any of you even tried playing Resident Evil 4 with strafing? It's way too easy, there are no scares, and the whole experience is ruined. (PC Mod)

well, i am just glad they will cater for both.

i am sorry, i tried Res 4, i didn't find the controls add to the tension, they just added frustration. most shooters work off the principal that your aim is accurate when standing still, you can shoot while moving but your shooting is less effective cos your aim is greatly reduced. yes, yes, i know Res is not a shooter. but if the only difference between the two is the controls then thats a shame in itself.

there is a lot more that can be done to make a game scary and build up tension then just having bad controls and if thats the only thing that can be done to scare... then it should not even try.

for ruining the RE series once more. RE4 was atleast a hybrid between action and horror. RE5 now looks like a total action game with bits of horror thrown in just for good measure. Why not add a machine gun with 500 bullet clip or an inventory that can hold 2000 shotgun rounds while you're at it? Oh and don't forget cover system, regenerating health and online MP with 8vs8 CTF matches.

You would tend to think that Capcom and RE would be a little bit more comfortable on PlayStation than on Xbox given the series history, but I just can't get over my hatred of the PS3 controller. Feels like crap in my hands and the triggers are terrible.

So I think X360 for me. although I am glad to have the luxuory of the choice
