RE5: No shooting while running

TalkPlayStation.com writes:"From what we've seen in the trailers and videos from E3, you can't shoot while running in Resident Evil 5. Resident Evil 4 has this same problem and quite a lot of people complained about it. The stop and shoot mechanic is back.

We contacted Capcom regarding this issue and they sent a quick response back"

Newsflash, this just in. There's been no option to run and shoot since Resident Evil 1, duh. Resident Evil has always been about being its own brand of survival horror, period. Even though the new implementations in RE4 gave the game a bit more of a Third Person Shooter feel, the idea of having to stop and shoot provides more suspense and maneuvering limitability for the player. This is why it remains in tact.

AmaziN6537d ago

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."

The Wood6537d ago (Edited 6537d ago )

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.

STARS6537d ago

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.

JsonHenry6537d ago

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

barom6537d ago

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).

JsonHenry6536d ago

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.

IcarusOne6536d ago

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.

Megatron086536d ago

Who care they have co op so its a most buy for me.

Tho it might be nice to be able to take a step back or two while shooting or maybe be able to move while you reload.

AAACE56536d ago

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.

sort or shooting and running just for realism. They could make the aiming off drastically when moving while shooting. Even as much as decreasing your chances of a direct hit by 60%. Then you would have the option at least.?.?

Le-mo6537d ago

I'm picking this up solely for the online co-op play.

ChampIDC6537d ago

Not that I think the games are bad (in fact, I love them), but it always annoyed the crap out of me that the games are made harder and more frightening by gimping your character. Strafing anyone? I'll buy it regardless, but I wish they could find a way to incorporate such mechanics as strafing and keep the same feel. Heck, I'd be happy if I could take a single step to either side to go around a corner while facing the correct way instead of slowly turning around the corner.

Capcom's willingness to invest in experiments and scrap them sets them apart form many other developers (Nintendo have a similar methodology). Far too often companies push a game setting or game mechanic that is just not that good and the final product is middling or poor.

I mean 0, 1 and Code Veronica should be way before we get into 5 or 6.

Darkseeker145d ago

5 and 6 are so bad that even Capcom want to pretend they don't exist.

Levii_92145d ago

Dude Code Veronica is bad too but RE5 and 6 were mega successful and to me it makes much more sense for Capcom to do them instead. Nobody cares about Code Veronica except niche fixed camera era RE fans, i bet most modern RE fans probably don't know Code Veronica even exists. Based on all that i don't believe CV remake is coming but we will see i guess.

MehmetAlperTR145d ago (Edited 145d ago )

Actually RE5-6 was not Classic RE game.. They are not even Survival Horror game.. They are just an action game with coop and named by RE... And for me RE Code Veronica was masterpiece.. I remembered the first time i played it in Dreamcast.. It was absouletly excellent game. And specially for RE6.. I was quit from game after the camera shakes when Leon's kick to zombies.. There's a video about RE6 and they are telling the truth about that shitty game https://www.youtube.com/wat... here it is.. Enjoy it..

Neonridr145d ago

people are DYING for a Code Veronica Remake. Not sure who you are talking to, but the die-hard RE fans of the series are very familiar with every entry. That's what it means to be called a die-hard fan.

neutralgamer1992145d ago

Levii

I am sure If they were to remake CV that it 2ont have fixed camera angle. I hope whatever they do they take their time like RE2/4 remakes and not rushed with cut content like RE3 remake

Before they should do RE5 they should go back and remake earlier games. In a perfect scenario we would get CV and RE/Zero before RE5/6

Tapani145d ago

Code Veronica on Dreamcast was absolutely AWESOME.

It makes more sense for them to remake earlier games like Code Veronica. RE5 is a good game though - it's not THAT different from RE4.

RE5 just doesn't really need to remade in general. The co-op element makes it tricky - you'd probably add more moments where Chris is by himself enhance the horror but some would want co-op to stay.

thesoftware730145d ago

RE:5 Was and still is a great game, with hands down the best Merc mode, that I still play from time to time with my brother.

RE:6 blah, I agree, it was awful.

Redgrave145d ago

Other than Code Veronica, 6 is the one ai want to see remade the most only because pretty much everything has to be redone; can't streamline that hot mess.

DarXyde145d ago

6 was pretty bad. 5 just tried too hard in being an action-oriented RE4.

In some fairness to Capcom, 5 was the first Resident Evil on then-new hardware for them (X360 and PS3). And it was pretty damn hard to follow up RE4.

Imagine everyone's surprise when EA of all companies dropped Dead Space.

Alos88145d ago

The first half of 5 wouldn't be too hard to do in the more grounded style the remakes have gone for, but the second half gets pretty silly and uncomfortable at parts.
6 is a wash. You'd have to basically make a whole new game to salvage that one at this point.

__y2jb144d ago

6 is garbage. 5 is excellent.

Hopefully if and when they do a RE5 remake, they give it the RE3 remake treatment, because this is certainly one title that I don't want a faithful remake of.

I need a Parasite Eve remake
