But I don't think even your bottomless archives of embarrassing clatrops quotes from the past can find me defending the serious deficiencies of that control scheme as raw genius without any need to be improved.

But you do that with RE4 and SH, which still blows my mind. your analogy/burn = broken. Carry on.


I'm sure RE5 will improve on the mechanics somehow, but for everyone to dock it points for no circle strafing just because it shares some similarities with FPS games is silly. What Gamepro rating does 1942 get knocked down to for not including rudder controls?


Unlike Metal Gear Solid's controls that are actively hostile against a player trying to infiltrate a military base unnoticed, Silent Hill's jumpless setup meets all requirements: to present me with a fucked up macabre slideshow of events while giving me the faint illusion that I'm interacting. If you thought that was the wrong direction to go in when they should have concentrated more on seemless monster blasting then rejoice because someone listened.
