This has a liberating effect on the game’s pacing by encouraging more hit-and-run tactics - a must when battling tough bosses such as the chainsaw-wielding Majini. By shifting the run button to the left-hand Navigation Controller (or a DualShock 3), Resident Evil 5 frees up your right hand for aiming and knifing. These tweaks make the game feel faster and nimbler, freeing up precious seconds during heated combat sequences.Ĭhris and Sheva are more maneuverable. Reloading works through a similar process: you pull the trigger to ready your weapon, then “waggle” the PlayStation Move control to reload. It’s also easier to smash open crates and barrels to find those all-important healing herbs. It’s handier in a pinch, and makes close-quarters battles feel faster and deadlier. But using PlayStation Move, you can “waggle” the motion controller to immediately swing the knife at any time. In the original version of Resident Evil 5, swinging your knife was a two-step process: you pressed and held one button to ready the knife, and another to swing it. Easy!įrom what I played, the new PlayStation Move aiming controls will be a big help to players who had difficulty adjusting to Resident Evil 5’s default analog stick control scheme. Once your shot is lined up, you press the Move button with your thumb to fire the shot. You move your character with an analog stick (via the Navigation Controller or a DualShock 3), then squeeze the trigger on the PlayStation Move to draw your weapon.
I was able to pop headshots, even at long ranges, with impressive accuracy using the PlayStation Move’s reticule aiming. Several details quickly became apparent:Īiming is much, much easier. I grabbed a PlayStation Move and a Navigation Controller and dove into a combat sequence several chapters into the game.
At last week’s PlayStation event in NYC, I was pleased to see Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition make an appearance - complete with the new PlayStation Move control scheme.
