RE5 controls frustrating.

This is crazy ... RE4 is one of the all time great games, i dont think there was as much complaining about the controls back then than there is with RE5 .. whats happend? The control system is the same in both games and what a hell of a ride was RE4 .. can't wait for RE5. Play the demo a few times give it time, make a lot of space and distance between you and them ( using the quick turn option left stick+ X ) and youll find a truly great game.sunkcontrol

Its not about bashing RE4 or 5, think about this:

RE1 had great controls by the time, they keeped them for RE2 adding a couple of things and softening them up a little, but they where basically the same, then RE3 came out, they still thought the controls where good enough and only added the 180 spin, and evading (and made them a little more responsive), RE:Code Veronica came out... the same...

THEN... RE4, sure, it was a huge leap between games, now its 3D and you can aim better, they where great by the time, just like previous RE games where by theirs...

Now, i believe the controls of RE4 havent aged as well as the old RE games control, why?, because the huge amount of action games and 3rd person shooters out there, they have better controls, more fluid too, RE5 its an action oriented game just like RE4, not a survival, and the controls just feel outdated for modern action games like them.

What better example than Dead Space (and sorry to everyone for keep using this game as an example)? The controls are just better, people who keep saying that the "stand still and shoot" factor of RE just adds to the "horror" of the game its (in my opinion) wrong, Dead Space hast a 100 times more suspense and horror than RE4 and probably RE5 and you CAN move while you are shooting. Besides, it preserves the "survival-horror" formula to some degree even if the controls look more action oriented (you just need them to keep up with the necromorphs)

I have RE4, and have played the demo of RE5 to no end (my cousin LOVES RE 4 and the demo of the 5) and well, i just play with him because he insist... a lot, but it just doesnt do it for me.

Look, i NEVER said RE4 or 5 where bad games, they are good Action games and i believe i can have a good time playing with my cousin the co-op, but as a survival-horror game its not what im looking for, it just doesnt meet my expectation (for starters, it just ignores all the "survival" and "horror" elements

has no one played resident evil 4? I mean the control scheme is the exact same. This isn't gears of war 5. Its not a run and gun shooter. If you don't like the game that's fine but the millions of people who buy and love the game will surely disagree with you. I think the controls are great. It adds to the suspense when you have to stop to fight. Resident Evil 1-3 didn't even have half of the mobility in this game, and resident evil 2 is considered one of the greatest games of all time.whodeysay85

i couldn't have said it better myself i totally agree with you that there are so many people complaining about the controls it's beyond belief.

Well, i still have RE1,2,3 (PS1), Code Veronica, Outbreak 1 and 2, RE4 (PS2), and played the REmake and Zero on my cousins GC, so... meh...

I still believe that for today standards the controls should be better because the game its almost all action oriented (And as i posted before, "having frustrating controls should NEVER be the rule (or motive of pride) just because tradition")

Yes the controls are very frustrating. And it's not the same as RE4.

See my remark blow from another topic.

Just played the demo. And I am very frustrated with the controls. Maybe this is because I am used to playing Resident Evil 4 on the Gamecube, because I keep hitting the wrong buttons in RE5. The controls really ruined the game for me.

The context-sensitive moves are harder to pull of than in RE4. Pushing a closet took to long, because you have to be in the right spot facing the right direction. I don't remember pushing a closet was this hard in Resident Evil 4. This reminds me of Abe's Odyssey: pulling swithes was allmost impossible, because of the same reason.

I really hate going through a lot of menu's while the game is not paused. Let the game pause while in menu or make the inventory system better and much faster. The menu system is to cluncky and does not work with fast action with lots of enemies.

I really didn't enjoy the Resident Evil 5 demo. Lets hope the controls and menu wil be better when it is released.
