A few weeks ago a Capcom rep mentioned that “Gears”-inspired action controls that will allow players to move and shoot at the same time would be included in Resident Evil 5. We picked up that story and so did many other websites. Capcom has just posted an update saying that the Rep spoke about “Run & Shoot” controls in error and that the game will include no such feature. To that we say BOOOOO! Your game controls like a damn tank turret. Fix it. Here is the official quote from Capcom:
Back in early December, a member of Capcom’s crack team (who actually knows better, oops!) misspoke when asked about the new controls, saying the “action” controls (as they were known at TGS, but not in the final game) would allow players to move and shoot at the same time.
To correct this whoopsie: THE NEW CONTROL OPTIONS IN RESIDENT EVIL 5 DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO MOVE AND SHOOT SIMULTANEOUSLY.
