Horrific Controls

[Spizy Chicken]

Is it just me or does RE5 have really strange and funky controls. Just doesn't feel right. Can't right click and aim, doesn't feel possitioned right. I fight the controls more then the enemy.
I played the RE6 Demo and they seemed to have fixed the issue, but I really wanted to play RE5 but I just can't do it.

Something I noticed is, that trembling hand thing that alters your aim, causes the whole view to shake in RE5, but in RE6 it only makes the laser sight shake. I believe that's what causes aiming in RE5 to feel strange. That, and there seems to be some mouse acceleration.

Yes, but the control feels strange between the mouse and the character. Like the axes isn't lined up right or something. I feel like I'm consitantly fighting to control the character instead of playing the game.
I don't get this feeling in Dead Space 2 or other 2nd person view games.

Mouse aiming is really weird in this game; I needed to switch to a 360 controller to play.

Yah I was thinking about getting a 360 controller for it but I am so used to a Mouse and Keyboard now.
Which of the Series do you like the best? Any of the new ones?

This would be the best way to play using Ex-Bawks wireless 063.

I bought it somewhere else and its controls do suck. Wish it was like the old days when you actually had good gameplay controls

Agreed. I did play the Demo for 6 and they fixed a lot of the issues though. I'm thinking I might get one of the new series if it goes on sale.

Anyone realize that you can just change all the controls around to what you're used to? That's what I did the moment I opened the game the first time..

Yes the controls can be changed, however we are talking about the "FEEL" of controlling the character.

The hand tremors can be disable with a trainer for the game. http://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?showtopic=13366

This mod adds the support to change characters, run around as Wesker and Jill. You can configure buttons to do combat moves, similair to the resident evil 6 gameplay. Insta-killing kicks or just knockback. The mod have good support for customized models and gameplay, thanks to the trainer

This ban safe from windows live and steam, it is only a mod. I've used this quite alot, crashes can be expected and do follow the instructions.

^
(More fun for second playthrough, doesn't affect difficulty if you don't enable some features in the trainer)

If you only want to fix hand tremors, use the trainer (no support for model change).

Any way to adjust the axis point of the character? That's what bugs me the most.

There is alot of camera settings that might fix it, trial and error with theese. http://i.imgur.com/M8AxazT.jpg

If you are willing to spend some time you can make the camera more center oriented or at a furthur distance.

I find alot of game ports from consoles have mouse lag due to v-sync being enabled. Try turning off v-sync in the game's options settings.

I'll try that. But I don't think it's LAG. It feels like it's not on the correct axis

Resident Evil 4 is the only game in the series that is actually good. Apparently, a PC port exists somwhere, but I played the original PS2 version.

I'm almost finished with RE5, and my opinion is that it's fine. For the most part, it kept the elements that made RE4 such a good game, but it didn't really improve on the formula and even introduced some bad features. Personally, I wasn't that bothered by the co-op character, but the inventory system was a major annoyance. The storyline is also basically incoherent drivel and verges on being racist. I'm not exactly sure how they justified to themselves the multiple action sequences with Africans wearing tribal outfits and throwing spears. It's like a contemporary version of Heart of Darkness, except almost one hundred years after the original novel.

This is a very crappy series. I often wonder why I keep playing these games. Even the first one isn't very good.
