I assume i'm not the only one who read about the new cover system in RE5 sometime before TGS. I thought this would be shown at TGS, but I haven't seen or heard anything about it, what happend?

It's too early, wait for the game to come out, and if it's gone by then, we can start asking. They are probably still working on all the new animations and gameplay tweaks for it to work.

it was a rumor, i also believe the interviewers misinterepted some quotes made by the devs.

RE5 doesn't need it, unlike gears where the enemies have guns.

I hope they took it out. It's completely unnecessary unless it pulls a Dead Rising and throws all those Spec-Ops at you.

LOL there was NO confirmation, that was IGN assuming we will be seeing a cover system, since capcom talked about having gears liek controls, which ended up meaning the left trigger aim, right trigger shoot. ONLY.

With Takeuchi referring to the new system as similar to Gears of War, expect a new duck and cover system to replace the ****c Resident Evil ****of stop and shoot.

in red, was what IGN said, and its clearly wrong since, it talks about replacing the stop and shoot gameplay.

IGN misunderstood AND it was more asumptions since capcom didn't go in detail about the controls.

Well it does confirm that they were gonna show a new system of some sort atleast, quote: Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 5's control system is to undergo an overhaul, with a revised scheme to be unveiled at this October's Tokyo Game Show.
/quote. But from the vids I've seen there as been no change at all since e3....

Edit: you're correct about the cover system part though, they never said they were gonna add that.

I hope its gone (or was never going to be implemented). The only reason to you need a cover system is if you fight enemies that use guns. And if that happens in Resident Evil, any semblance of survival horror it has left is all but gone.

And yes I know some enemies in RE4 had guns, but not many.

honestly, u only need a cover system if the opposition attacks you from a distance be it from mid-to- far range, and are advancing at a steady pace and taking cover themselves. now whats the use of a cover system in a place where hordes of zombie-ish enemies are rushing towards you to eat your face. odds are ur gonna just run and/or shoot more often than hug a wall just to shoot at something a foot away from you.

Hope they trashed it, seriously a cover system would only hinder an already near flawless gameplay system.

To remind people, RE4 had a small cover system, Leon could do it, when it asked, he would duck and hide being a crate to avoid grenades and thrown weapons.

Eyezonmii

usually having a cover system would imply that it could be implamented on almost any surface (wall, table, bench, tree, cement divider, etc etc) to provide cover. what leon did in RE4 was simply interact with that specific crate because u couldnt do it with any of the other crates in teh game. hardly call that a cover system.

when the cover system was first mentioned there was an amazing amount of backlash from hardcore resi fans (like myself) i think capcom listened to ther fanbase and scrapped the cover system (at least i hope)
