Lack of Run & Gun in RE5............

I felt it should've been an option. hell I'd even take a slow walk.

and dont start with the noob nonsense and say I know nothing about RE games because I've played them all and know that you couldn't shoot and move. I just think they should've finally implemented this option as well as give more life to the zombies instead of having them walk slowly towards you.

oooh I LOVE dead space. game is amazing. capcom should've taken some pointers.BrooklynHotBoy

OMG. Me too. I hope the sequel comes out soon..

The developers at Capcom don't know how to program the code to walk and gun. Wiishy

lol. I agree. although the coop could outweigh its lack of run&gun prob. i cant wait to paly this on coop.

I don't mind it and it is nice to see that it is one of the features that actually makes the new REs like the older ones. You know when they were survival/horror and not survival/action.Agent_Kaliaver

umm, If you want to run and gun just switch the control style to "Action" and it makes it "More like Gears Of War style controls" according to the developer. xXmeatwad225Xx

REALLY?

I'm an old school fan at least they aren't completely ruining the series. I really wish they'd created older style RE games and newer style RE games. That would be so perfect they can make everyone happy. At least bring back the great story! I loved fighting real zombies that's all i want..craigalan23

Thats what i want too you guys. Its why i bought DeadRising. Blowing up zombie heads .

I wasn't such a big fan of the RE5 demo either (also new the the series). One minor issue that apparently really bugged me was that you couldn't walk/run and zoom in at the same time. I liked the Fear 2 demo better even (doesn't mean I'm gonna get FEAR 2 though). RavageGT

You havent been able to run and gun in any RE game, and they didnt change it.

If capcom actually cared about newcomers to the series, they would have changed it.

They dont, so they didn't.

Its fine with me, ive loved every RE since 98'.

this was proven to be false. that rep from capcom that said that was way off. capcom released a statement after this and said there will be no run&gun

after playing the amazing Deadspace i also find it hard that Chris being a badass stars member had no training to fire his weapon while moving and an engineer with mining tools can.. grr. sinlesswolf

Dead Space = My favorite game of 2008 :D

i don't see how you can storm through everything when at times you have to kill certain enemies to get keys or other items for unlocking doors and puzzles and such like in RE4.

by your own logic, couldn't you just storm through the game without shooting anything?

and i see no suspence in slow moving zombies.............but to each his/her own.

It seems to me that you just dont like other peoples thoughts. resident evil isnt meant to be a run and gun.

I'll do you one better! I'd be happy if they'd at least let me sidestep while shooting.

Also, to the purists, I think most fans like me don't want "run and gun" game play, we want to be able to walk forwards and backwards while firing. Dead Space did this, and I feel safe claiming Dead Space feels more intense/scary than RE4 or, dare I say, RE5 will. Yup, I'm calling it now, Dead Space is more scary than RE5 will be and you can walk while shooting.

I've played the major RE games, excluding Code Veronica. The crappy camerca angles made the stand still and shooting mechanic work, if you ran, the crappy camera angle would change. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to lumber forward, backward, or sideways, slowly while firing in RE5.

The purists have some bad reasoning. The stand still like a tank mechanic makes the game slower, less intense. If RE is supposed to be a horrror game how is it scarying anyone when everything is slowed to a crawl?

Also "run and gun" - in this case - doesn't mean your character is running while shooting it simply means, he can move while aiming and shooting. Also making the player character move while firing will necessitate that the AI become faster as well, and attack you with more speed, increasing the horror experience.

A slow walking zombie is a lot less frightening than a fast one. And the tank mechanic right now promotes slower less threatening enemies.

hey, i was absolutely pissed off by re5 by the fact that you can't even move and the action is waaaay too slow, i actually found it really boring to be honest 29121994

Exactly. The tank mechanic promotes slower enemeies. If they had taken pointers from the excellent Dead Space, they'd have made the zombie's faster and given you movement while aiming and firing.

this is what you do. shoot, and when they get to close, run, then shoot again. want to run and gun? get tombraider....donmega1

Exactly!

I can understand why they did do it. But honestly I think it would have been more fun to be able to walk and shoot at the same time, I really don't care if people call me a noob for it.vashkey

whats a noob? probrably me for asking but anyway.

I can deal with the lack or run and gun, it makes it slower, more methodical, maybe not particularly scary but definatly an even pace.

However, there is one thing I CANNOT stand: not being able to at least move while having your melee weapon out. I think that is one of the most rediculous ideas ever. If they made you able to at least melee while moving, even if its a slow, special olympics caliber move speed, that I think would go a long way.

Not that big of a surprise considering the last game wouldn't let you do it either.

I'm more puzzled as to why there are two options for opening doors (gently or kicking) but both take about the same amount of time, the only difference being that the kick knocks anyone down on the other side.

theres a interview for the re5 and the guy confirmed that there will be run and gun in the game that its optional

i saw the interview on xbox live but it was a gametrailers interview
