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?
I don't even dock it points for it. I'm just saying that if they're going to improve or change anything, that would be a great place to keep working. I just don't like slow tank movement, despite all of the games (godhand, RE4, umm...I'm sure there are others) that offer compelling gameplay in spite of it.
Unlike Metal Gear Solid's controls that are actively hostile against a player trying to infiltrate a military base unnoticed,
The problems with MGS's controls are that they actively game the AI and cause awkward exploiting to occur when in fact, the game is much better 90% of the time if you just blaze through creating chaos and barely surviving each section. Most people don't even realize that MGS2 has a pretty sweet system for running and gunning with the AK74 and its ilk with a minimum of fuss, akin to its highly successful katana mechanic. Once again, you mistake your lack of skill in a game for a defect in the game.
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.
So, really, you view Silent Hill as a successful interactive novel, sort of a choose your own adventure thing. I think I've learned a lot about SH and why I don't like it that much, and even more about you today. I don't even want "monster blasting" I just find most survival horror to be extremely broken, and RE4 to be good largely because of its successful concessions to action gamers. It makes me think there's a future out there, one where a little Fahbsy can be hunted by the J Horror of his choice without being hamstrung by mongoloid controls and shit camera angles. |
