Game of the Year 2009

Capcom, or someone else, announced that they will be adding a "Gears" type of control type. Hopefully, this will get rid of some of the control flaws that we both see.

I can't stand the whole idea of waiting with your knife out for one of the enemies to come to you. Then you realize that you're to far away and move up to just pull out your knife then get hit. Although, the game will be worth it and I can get used to the controls.

Didn't you guys play Resident Evil 4? The way you described using the knife sounds just like in RE4. You could only swing it in stationary positions. It was so easy to use, though. Hold R to ready weapon; hold L to ready knife. A activates whichever is ready.

Am I misunderstanding? Did they change how it was used in RE5? RE5 looks very similar to RE4. I thought the controls were great in RE4.
