[QUOTE="Pedro"][QUOTE="megahaloman64"]Also why cant you move with the knife, which idiot would stand still while fighting someone with a knife.megahaloman64

lol, lets see how long they'd last in a knife fight. Probably 10 seconds.

Your advice would kill the game's suspense, destroy the pace, and make the game entirely too easy.

Modern horror game A.K.A standard faceless action shooter, why must the industry put out such homologous material just to please people?

It wouldn't necessarily ruin the game to make the changes he suggests; if you look at a game like half life 2 you will see that it actually has a lot of the same aspects that people like in RE4 but it worked in HL2. The screen was visible because you weren't staring at anyones back, better more varied, more colorful environments, better music, better story, better female characters, plenty of challenging parts, and you still get to shoot at the parasitic creatures coming out of peoples heads. And HL2 wasn't generic feeling either due to the quality of presentation and the gravity gun of course (which put the game into its own league altogether.)

Not saying that RE could be or should be HL, just saying that some aspects of the games engine were pretty horrible, and could have made a better game if changed.

From my understanding, isn't this issue being addressed in RE5? I remember it was said that you are able to strafe or something, although probably not while shooting.

I'd like to add that in previous RE games, you could go to control configuration and choose plan B or C to allow your character to turn around with one button. This can't be done in RE4.

To topic creator: I agree. I would hve enjoyed it if you inlucded scenes from the video to support the reasons you mentioned about why you think RE4 was overrated but you proved to many ---- who claim that RE4 improved the formula of RE games that the controls are almost identical. And the only thing superior is the graphics and the fact that the cam was put behind Leon.

Do you mean without using the control stick? In RE4 all you had to do was pull back on the control stick and press B.

[QUOTE="gamingqueen"][QUOTE="Skylock00"]Adding strafing at least addresses the issue of the franchise using tank controls, which several people claimed was 'fixed' in RE4, when in actuality the controls were almost identical to what you had in previous RE games. The only real difference was in the camera orientation to the character, and since it was character focused, the controls worked better than when the camera wasn't locked to the character.Angry_Beaver

Yep R1. press it and characters turn to the back to aim at zombies from behind. Only if you set that before you start the game.

[QUOTE="Pedro"] The devs of the game apparently would. :DGodModeEnabled

the enemy already knows your there, and you should be able to move while atacking
