Oh Wow, They Maintained The Run Button

It's no longer the "Dead Space" you know, with all the human opponents, co-op and firefights, so no harm in making the controls more fluid.

And not once was there a serious problem avoiding them without a dodge button.

And how would you know unless you tried fighting them with the dodge button?

It's like when people kept telling me "you don't need walk-and-shoot/dodging/3D controls in Resident Evil because it's not needed" and when the game actually included all these, I realized they were really necessary.

There's really nothing wrong with making the controls more fluid and easily accessible.
The responses I'm getting this topic is a mix of "protect the nostalgia!" and "mob the complainer!".

Felt like dead space when I played it.

So co-op, human enemies and firefights are "Dead Space" to you.
Either that's what you actually believe or you're just saying this for the sake of arguing.

Reminds me when a Luddite kept talking about how RE4 is the worst game in the series, due to all the changes, so I said: "since it changed so much, no harm in adding walk-and-shoot in future titles".

And then he said "oh no, the only thing they changed in RE4 was the camera angle".

He went back on his words just to continue arguing.

Is this what you're doing right now?

Not at all. I don't mind the co-op (although I dont agree with it), don't mind human enemies not even the firefights. It still feels like Dead Space, thats all that matters to me, that I know I'm laying the same series. Resident Evil 4 still somewhat feels like resident evil, but 6 doesn't at all.

This is completely subjective, you know.

There isn't any "rule" or "commandment" that a series has to adhere to.

Resident Evil and Dead Space can be whatever it's developers desire.

Halo can't just turn into a racing game and keep the title "Halo 5"

They can, if that's what they desire.

That is the privilege of intellectual property owners.

No they can't. It'll affect sales. No sane developer would do that. You talk like you know about business 24/7. You should know this.

Regardless, it's their rights and they have a say on whatever they do.

That is the power of intellectual property.
Fans can b**** and whine all they want but it's their privilege, not the fans'.

We're not discussing a direction, genre or theme change but pure gameplay mechanics.

Dead Space can 'degenerate' into a cover-shooter all it wants but at least give fluid controls for the gameplay..

The controls are fluid...

Not compared to a lot of other games I played, "horror" or not.

The problem with Dead Space seems that it was made more with PC in mind, so some console functionality is overlooked.
