At E3 in the Los Angeles Convention Center, everyone is loving how RE5 is looking, but some people don't like the fact that the game is using RE4's controls. Later on, Jun Takeuchi, the RE5 producer, said that some people might not have played RE4, but maybe they have played Gears of War or Call of Duty games and said that no one should be surprised if the control setup is different at the Tokyo Game Show.

The Resident 5 footage shown here at E3 is gorgeous. Jaw dropping, even. The game really looks like what people have been waiting for. What's not to like? The criticism level against the game has been the fact it uses Resident 4's controls. That's not necessarily a bad thing if you liked Resident Evil 4! But as RE5 producer Jun Takeuchi pointed out:

"It's possible that a lot of people who play Resident Evil 5 may not have played Resident Evil 4. But they might have played Gears of Wars or Call of Duty. Those are both games that I and our team really, really like. So don't be surprised if at the Tokyo Game Show, the controls are different. For now, we have the control set up for RE4. I'm not confirming or denying anything, but we like to surprise people."
