First things first -- I did like that you had to hold a button to actually aim w/ the control pad for RE4. Plus, you couldn't move the player period while you aimed. So, that mechanic definitely should stay -- that's part of what made the game different and cool, compared to your usual shooter. So, maybe they could've did like GTA: SA PC did -- to aim and shoot, you could force the player to aim by letting them hold RIGHT MOUSE button and then you'll have to hit the LEFT MOUSE BUTTON to shoot/attack. Or do y'all think it'd still be too easy???
I mean -- if they are going to support KB/mouse for RE4 PC, couldn't they just find a better way to support KB/mouse, if they were going to support those controls as an actual option??? Find some sort of gimmick that'd work for those controls so the game isn't too easy in their opinion?? Maybe slow down the mouselook speeds similar to the analog speeds on a gameplay??? Maybe even add an extra game difficulty, since it's usually easier to aim w/ mouselook and all?? Maybe even allow an option to turn-on "unsteady aiming"? Hell, I dunno...
That won't hold true for everyone, but few games even attempt to be for everyone since absolutely none can achieve it. What it comes down to is the developer is the one making the game and it's up to them to decide how it's going to work. It may not be the best decision, but it's theirs to make.
I agree w/ that, yes.
Well, obviously. If you really like something, you probably feel it's the best way. If you don't, you... uh, generally don't. Obviously if I didn't like RE4's setup I wouldn't say it was best the way it was delivered, even if I could somehow acknowledge maybe that it was great for others. But for me I think it was best the way it was. I can see it being retooled as a different entity with full mouselook and more traditional shooter mechanics, but I think that would have turned it into just another shooter and would have destroyed the biggest part of what made it fun to play.
Why even support the KB/mouse then, if that's the case -- that you're going to basically not utilize the PC controls to their best abilities?
I mean -- if Capcom really felt the controller is the ONLY way to play Res Evil 4 period -- and yes, even on the PC -- why not just basically REQUIRE A PC controller period, if that's the case?? Of course, that might just anger some gamers, since many PC gamers do (for some reason) support only the KB/mouse, doing that will likely lessen your sales w/ PC gamers...
What I do like about the GFW movement for having those PC games that are also on the X360 supporting both the KB/mouse and X360 controller, at least they're trying to support both style of gamers here since each version will have it their own different ways; PC and console styles of game-playing. Doing this might be able to easily bring in more console gamers, this way to the PC -- especially X360 gamers, as they'll be able to plug their X360 controller right into the USB port of their PC. Hell, even us PC gamers that might buy a X360, we got our Game For Windows Gamepad that we can plug right into the X360. Console gamers like their gamepads, while PC gamers like their KB/mouse. Me, I like having the option of either or -- you know, just in case PC ports get botched and/or because I can have a option to pick between either two control methods depending on the game type and I can decide what style I might prefer for that particular game. But really, if they're going to support both styles in their game, do it right -- either that, or just pick control style for your game -- whether it's KB/mouse only or controller only.
