Capcom has taken on board concerns thatResident Evil 5‘s controls were the same as those ofResident Evil 4, which some critics feel is archaic compared to modern games. Confirming that the controls have now changed to a more “Gears-like” system, producer Jun Takeuchi stated thatwe’ll see things in actionat the Tokyo Game Show.
At E3, Takeuchi teased this announcement by telling us not to be surprised if the controls have altered by TGS. Looks like that forewarning was a prophetic one, as we look to get our hands on a much more modern-feeling game. Apart from theGearscomparison, no other details have been revealed, so we’ll probably have to wait until October to see more.
Quite funny really, considering thatGears of Warbasically tookResident Evil 4‘s control scheme and added a cover system along with the ability to move and fire. Things have come full circle.
