What was fresh and exciting two years ago can be looked at as archaic by today's standards. In the time that a developer is developing a game, other developers could have released several other games that redefine what a proper control scheme for that genre is. This seems to be the case with Resident Evil 5. It is definitely a great game and worth a play for people who enjoy shooters and cooperative play but its control scheme is in need of a major overhaul. If Capcom were to release another Resident Evil game, it would need a completely revamped control scheme. The control scheme for Resident Evil 5 doesn't need to be scrapped entirely but there has to be some serious modifications if the series is to maintain the level of respect that gamers have for it."

Circana data shows Resident Evil 5 as the best selling Resident Evil game in the US, ahead of Resident Evil 4 remake and Village.
So the most successful RE is the one where a white man is killing Africans.
This can't be real.

New leaks from Dusk Golem detail cancelled Resident Evil projects, including a Rebecca focused Revelations game, while stating no Resident Evil 5 remake is in development.
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.

Dusk Golem claims a Resident Evil 5 remake is not coming this year, with a Code Veronica remake expected instead.
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.
if they woudl have gave re5 dead space controls then wow! you know. It would still feel like re4 and omg be a hell of a lot better!
or you could just get used to the controls, seriously its these fools that make us real gamers look bad, the fact that it doesn't have it is because it DOESN'T need it, i played through the entire campaign twice and have no problems with the controls so why can't you?
The Control "problems" are way to much criticized. Playing through the game on normal on the First run and nearly through i can ASSURE you that every GAMER who plays RE5 will adept the gameplay and controls within the first 2 chapters. It plays really really well for me atm.
btw most of you ignore the fact that RE5's gameplay and shooting mechanics are matched to the "nonwalkingwhileaiming&qu ot; method on RE5.
please please try the game its absolutly fantastic.
Lets make it like every other game out there. Seriously the controls are the only thing that still feel like RE, they already got rid of the fixed camera angles which added all the tension to the game. The only reason Dead Space worked is because the sound kept you on your toes.
That RE5 has such awfull controls & inventory system. Good story & graphics but I'm all about controls. If the game controls like dirt it's a pass for me.
