Played the demo and the old control scheme absolutely breaks the game. RE4 was fine, so was MGS2, but I wouldn't go back to either of them knowing how much better controls have evolved over the years. The excuse that the limited control heightens the fear-factor is ludicrous; playing with the controller upside down would maximize the fear if this were true.
