RE5: No shooting while running

STARS, if you actually read the full article it states that every RE game has been like that.

"Every RE game has been like that."

but maybe a bit more mobility with other aspects of the players movement should be updated. You're absolutely right about the fact you know your limited so that in fact adds to the tension. Give me devil may cry controls or onimusha and there would be no real fear at all. Its like damned if you you do, damned if you dont for capcom and a double edge for the gamers.

I did read the article, AmaziN. I realize they mentioned that. I just feel if Capcom implemented walk and shoot or run and shoot then Resident Evil would be completely out of its element. It's already evolved into more of a shooter anyways, and I loved Resident Evil 4, don't get me wrong.

Good! It would really take some of the suspense out of the game if it was like The Suffering.

Honestly I feel it became pretty much an action game in RE4 already. RE4 was not scary at all. The only time I felt some sense of fear was when the chainsaw people came at me, but it wasn't 'scary', it was more like 'oh crap, quick get the shotgun'.

RE4 was not scary at all and I do not see that happening with RE5 either. So in a way I actually would like to be able to move while shooting (though WALKING and NOT RUNNING, just because it makes it a bit slower paced and not another Gears Of War clone). On the other hand though, they've used the second analog stick to dodge (God Hand style) so I'm a bit interested in how it turns out. Either way I just hope they implement some puzzles again (which was basically non-existent in RE4).

Oh and btw, I'm sure that Shinji Mikami (RE4 director) would've implemented the ability to shoot while on the move, but was NOT able to as a result of designing it for the GameCube (which didn't have a real second analog stick).

Barom.. I have to agree with you on that. RE4 was not scary or creepy in the least.

But then again, games like Fatal Frame and Silent Hill have always had more of a "scare" factor than any Resident Evil game.

I remember being 15-16 and playing Resident Evil 2 for the first time and being scared once in a while during the game. but then I played Silent Hill for the first time... WOW. Creeped out the WHOLE time.

RE is no longer Survival Horror. Silent Hill was the master, especially SH2, but now Condemned seems to be the new kid on the block.

To everyone out there that says just because the previous RE's made you stop and aim so should this game, that's just dumb. Games evolve. By your logic, it should still look and sound like a PS1 game then. The fear shouldn't come from your frustrating inability to control your character realistically (that's what we like to call CHEAP), but from legitimate circumstances within the game world around you that are legitimately scary.

I think what they mean is with all the advancement in gaming technology... why cant you move around and shoot?

In real life would you just stand there shooting while a mob of enemies marches toward you?

That is the main reason why I never really liked the RE games.

Very true, but at least being able to walk while aiming would make a big difference. I think a lot of people would be happy with any movement while aiming.

I love that logic. Broken gamplay mechanic = adds to fear and tension. So going by what you said there shouldn't be a run option either since that would stop you from "running wild" too.

I'll be really disappointed if there isn't at the very least an option to walk while shooting. I'm not asking for a total run and gun ability like uncharted. Something more like gears, slowly walking while shooting would be good. But just any movement at all would be an improvement.

RE4 is a top ten all time game, and I say this as a huge fan of the series, who has played every single re game since the first on ps1. So I do love the series, it just needs to change that one element.

How is good challanging gameplay broken gameplay? Just because you do not like to play the way they want you to play it does not make it broken.

Keep on believing whatever excuses you want to throw out there. I don't see why you defend the game this much though when this is obviously a glaring gameplay flaw.

Like my earlier post said, I've been a re fan for over 10 years now, starting with the first one. I'll probably play and love re5 too, even if it doesn't have the option to walk while shooting. But I'm not letting my love of the series blind me (like some) and I'll be the first to say that not being able to move while shooting = broken, outdated gameplay mechanic. Its one thing if you get people whining about completely customize the game and make the character do whatever you want, but not having a relatively simple, realistic action that 99% of games in the genre incorporate is really inexcusable at this point, especially for devs of this high quality.

And sorry, not being able to move while shooting isn't excusable as an added challenge. If you're going to go that route then why not just go back to the old re view with the clunky controls and fixed camera, I'm sure that would add to the challenge too. Its all about admitting problems in gameplay, fixing them and evolving the game. If the devs had your additude then re4 would have been exactly like re2 or code veronica, and it wouldn't have progressed into the masterpiece that it was.

Yeah, the frozen position really takes me out of the believability of the game. I think walking while aiming with a slight sway of the weapon while doing so would do wonders. I'd say keep the sway enough to make a difference but no so much that you can't still headshot, because obviously trained soldiers in real life can continue moving at a reasonable pace and still aim well in CQB. I doubt it would be too hard for them to make the sway just enough to make you stand still for longer-range shots.

Yeah, if you can run, it would be easy, but you've seen how fast the zombies move now. They'll still catch you if you can backpedal at a walking pace. Walking while aiming is a very viable option.

Yoru disagree isnt from me btw, What I was saying is Capcom WOULDN'T want to change, since they are horrible devs imo, even though I think they SHOULD

But really when you axe talented studios like Clover..and go on to make like the 20th megaman battle network, I think there's a problem. In ways I think Capcom is worse than EA.
