The One Thing I'd Change About Resident Evil 5's Move Controls

Kotaku writes: "What would I change about Resident Evil 5's PlayStation Move controls? I'd stop staring at Sheva so much.

Brian Ashcraft and Stephen Totilo have already played Resident Evil 5 with Sony's new Move controller, and for the most part I agree with their conclusions: It does feel better than the standard controller, with only one minor issue keeping the controls from being perfect."

"This works for many folks, but it doesn't quite work for me."

too bad..

darkdoom30005768d ago

Adapt. React. Readapt..... Apt

SilentNegotiator5767d ago

It doesn't work for someone on Kotaku? Shocker.

andron5768d ago

I really liked RE5, but the one thing that bothered me with the controls was that you couldn't move while you reloaded.

I am okay with the stand and shoot mechanic to get the tension up, but they should be able to move and reload simultaneously.

rdgneoz35768d ago

Stand and shoot was OK during the beginning of the series, but you should have been able to move side to side at last in 5. Hell, Dead Space you can move while shooting and its a hell of a lot more tense than RE5.

fear885768d ago

It isn't about adaptation its capcom not realizing what the most logical and most natural control scheme would be. They really could change it and make it more fluid but capcom hasn't changed the controls since last TGS when they unveiled it. I feel they are dropping the ball on this one.

Ares84PS35768d ago

Don't believe anything they say. They are the scum of video game journalism.

DatNJDom815768d ago

you took the words right out my mouth.

strickers5768d ago

A game that it's biggest flaw was controls,gets improved with precise shooting controls and nit picking Kotaku moan because that want different buttons.
A will say though I do agree that customisable controls should be standard.The worse controls are when games get ported from 360(Red Dead)and they port the controls exactly,using triggers for aim/shoot.R1/L1 works much better for PS3.Borderlands did it well by offerinf multiple named control schemes borrowed form other games.On PS3 Resistant was my favourite.It was based on,you guessed it,Resistance excellent controls

clintos595768d ago

I mean yes its basically the same scheme with the wii & re4 but hey lets find a way to downplay move. I bet if this were on kinect & it was laggy & all like most of its other games, it would be like, "It has its issues" but think of the potential it has. Hey aslong as it works like re4 on the wii, I think that its better then a normal controller.

TheLastGuardian5768d ago

I've played through RE5 five times to get the platinum and I'd gladly play it again with the move. I just have to trade in my copy and $10 for the gold edition. RE5 is an underrated game if you ask me.

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.

Darkseeker140d ago

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

Levii_92140d 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.

MehmetAlperTR140d ago (Edited 140d 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..

Neonridr140d 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.

neutralgamer1992140d 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

Tapani139d 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.

thesoftware730140d 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.

Redgrave140d 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.

DarXyde140d 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.

Alos88139d 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.

__y2jb139d 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.

gerbintosh140d ago

I need a Parasite Eve remake
