It was revealed at this year’s Tokyo Game Show that Resident Evil 5 will have a control scheme that incorporates the ability to strafe with your character.

As hinted at in an earlier producer interview, Resident Evil 5 does indeed have an optional control scheme that is more in line with the third-person shooter genre. The left analogue stick now allows you to strafe to the left and right, with aiming (enabled via the left trigger) and turning assigned to the right analogue stick. The controls are a step away from Resident Evil 4′s tank controls and feel considerably more familiar and intuitive. ~ Joystiq

I enjoyed RE4′s switch to semi-third person, but often wished strafing was incorporated. It would have made looking around corners easier by just hugging the wall and strafing instead of just turning the body completely move one step and turn back to view. I’m also thankful that this Shooter scheme just allows for strafing and not the run-and-gun motif. After all, it is a survival-horror game, not an action shooter. As the Joystiq articles says, you either RUN or SHOOT, not both.

Enough with the ‘race card’ already. You’re not helping the solution, you’re just adding more to the problem. I’m sure if this was set in Japan, Cuba or even the Philippines, or maybe had you actually done some research behind the game instead of just watching the trailer, you’d wouldn’t have written such a shitty god-awful post. Instead of looking at it for face-value, why not look more in depth at the series of Resident Evil? There are more thought provoking themes than just racism. The suffering of humanity that inadvertently turns us inhuman, for example. Did you see Black Hawk Down? I thought about the suffering of the soldiers, the hell they went thru to survive, and the courage it took others to rescue them. Not once did I think: “White man shooting black people.” It’s the your kind of ignorance that keeps racism alive. If you don’t have anything serious to blog about (like Iraq, or the loss of our freedoms in America under the Bush administration), then don’t post at all, especially if your blog is widely read. Stupid posts like that will discredit you as journalist and put your host website to shame.

Now back to the real subject at hand: Resident Evil 5. This game reeks of awesomeness and will be LEGENDARY! Thank you Capcom!
