No support for alternate controls in this one, folks. There are no options for southpaw, legacy or any form of customization.
And for once, that’s about all you’re getting from me.
This style of game is not really my cup of tea and I was pretty sure that it was not going to offer any support for alt-controls, so I was not overly interested in it.
I think it does what it does well enough, but it’s difficult for me to judge not being into this type of shooter. The graphics are functional but not overly impressive, though the massive explosions are nice. Blowing stuff up is always fun.
Control wise, as a legacy player, movement was ok I suppose when the camera cooperated but aiming was awkward, at least for me. Hard to say how the southpaw guys will fair… I think this one is a matter of playing for yourself to see how it feels.
Basically, I just picked this one up to confirm the control options (or lack thereof) for our readers, and now it’s going back to the rental outlet.

No surprizes here.Anyone notice this post on Kotaku about RE5? I’m a little concerned, considering Capcom’s reputation in this subject.

Nah, I’m just kidding
It says the controls are going to be “Gears-like”… should be interesting.
