RE5 demo to include new 'action controls' option [update]


Update: While the new demo will include the option to use the new action controls, were were mistaken in regards to what the action controls let you do. They WILL NOT let you move and shoot at the same time, but will allow aiming with the right thumbstick. Furthermore, the action controls were present in the Japanese demo that was released last month. X3F apologizes for the error.

While browsing through Capcom's wordy Resident Evil 5 demo press release, we came across an interesting nugget of information that'll even pique the interest of those who already ninja-played the Japanese RE5 demo.


Specifically, with the upcoming demo, Capcom will let gamers "choose between the classic 'Resident Evil'-style controls or switch to the newer 'Action' controls inspired by games like 'Gears of War 2' and 'Halo 3.'" Yes sir, the new action controls will be accessible in the new demo and will actually let players move AND shoot at the same time. Epic win! and let you aim with the right stick.
