Resident Evil 5 demo now infects XBLM worldwide
Jan 27th 2009 7:35PM (Joystiq Xbox)People who are complaining about sluggish controls probably never got used to them. The sprint command can be used to whiz by enemies, and movement in the four directions is easily accomplished by turning left or right, or quickly pressing back and A, and sprinting. If you were untouchable in 4, you'll be here too.
Firing is not 'sluggish', its just not as lightning reflexed as an fps. This means shots are deliberate, and the player must make on the fly descisions on what to cap and when.
Weapon selection is just pressing the dpad in the direction of the items inventory slot, like oblivion or fallout. switching weapons in this way is fast. Items can also be used in this way.
I'd disregard any comment which compares this gameplay to a fps game, because that's as irrelevant as comparing your favorite rpg to a sports game, and telling people that you like the rpg because it executes better. The two games have completely different goals, so they should not be contested together.
And speaking as a fan of Resident Evil 4, this demo kicks ass. The guns are fun, the new enemies are cool, multiplayer is amazing, and the environment is interesting. I'm happily waiting for the release date, to see if the franchise can pull off another game of the year.
