Capcom Confirms Resident Evil 5 Controls Change

After the Microsoft Media Briefing, Takeuchi confirmed that RE5's new controls will be on the TGS showroom floor. While he didn't go into any great detail about the changes, he did refer to them as "Gears-like" controls.

Zerodin6463d ago

They're not going for "Resistance style controls".

FatJoe36463d ago

I know, its a big shame. lol

Serjikal_Strike6463d ago

Either way its still gonna be a hit game! The controls only take a few minutes to get used to anyway!

CrazedFiend6463d ago

"So don't be surprised if at the Tokyo Game Show, the controls are different... I'm not confirming or denying anything, but we like to surprise people."

So what he's REALLY saying in not-so-many words is:

Don't be suprised if...but wait, we wanna surprise you, but...maybe you don't like surprises so...but, what if half of you DO want to be surprised?

Maybe if I just tell you that we don't know what we're doing, then YOU can decide if you wanna be surprised or not. Yeah, that'll work(^o^)b

This is a day one purchase for me but i hope they dont change the controls it to much.

Resident Evil has lost its horror side of things already and for me the controls were the only thing left which makes it feel like Resident Evil.
Thier changing it into a action game and losing its survial horror roots.

Im gunna get disagrees for this..

gameraxis6463d ago

run and shoot??? (simultaneously)

DARK WITNESS6463d ago

i hope so.. i know many other people liked the old controls, but i actually put me off the game.

i forced myself to play what i could, but i just didn't enjoy it that much wih the old controls. i still respect RE4 as a great game though.

i hope the changes do make it a more enjoyable game for everyone both for those who liked the old and those that didn't.

urban bohemian6463d ago

Run and gun is standard, the tough control help induce panic and are what sets resi evil apart. you have to judge whether u can stand ur ground and commit to fight or retreat then take on the enemies, its adds tactics to the game.

Megatron086463d ago

god I hope its not a run and gun there are enough crappy run and gun games out there. I also dont want GoW with zombies

ZombieButcher6463d ago

A little more Gears would be nice. I prefer those over the RE4 controls. But I will still be getting this game either way.

jtucker786463d ago

I guess with this generation of consoles and all the enemies that can be rendered on screen at once that you can't fend them all off if you have to stop to shoot.

Run and gun ... or at least walk / strafe and gun would seem logical.

Megatron086463d ago

walk and strafe be nice but not run and gun.

So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

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.

Darkseeker114d ago

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

Levii_92114d 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.

MehmetAlperTR114d ago (Edited 114d 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..

Neonridr114d 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.

neutralgamer1992114d 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

Tapani114d 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.

thesoftware730114d 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.

Redgrave114d 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.

DarXyde114d 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.

Alos88114d 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.

__y2jb114d 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.

gerbintosh114d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
