The control scheme of Resident Evil 5 has been completely revamped and will not simply be carried over from Resident Evil 4. At E3 2008, Capcom producer Jun Takeuchi stated that RE5's new controls will be Gears-like.Kotaku: Capcom Confirms Resident Evil 5 Controls Change (September 2, 2008)
The Controls
In order to address the amount of criticism Capcom received During E3 2008, Capcom received criticism about Resident Evil 5's control scheme, which many critics felt was archaic and no different from Resident Evil 4. Jun Takeuchi announced that the development team would be making adjustments to the game's controls and these would be demo'd for the first time at the Tokyo Game Show. He stated that their intention was to make the game's controls feel more Gears-like.Kotaku: Capcom Confirms Resident Evil 5 Controls Change (September 2, 2008)Despite this, those who have played advance copies of the game or the demo are still unhappy, calling the controls "a bit wonky and...old school."Co-Optimus: Resident Evil 5 Controls Freak People Out (January 30, 2009) One of the major complaints is that players cannot run and shoot at the same time. They must stop in their tracks, pull out their gun, fire, re-holster their weapon, and then begin moving again. This might have worked in older Resident Evil games, when the enemies were slow mindless zombies. Now that the foes are more human-like in intelligence and speed, this control scheme is more frustrating than anything. Players these days, according to critics, are used to run-and-gun gameplay mechanics, with strafing and the ability to dodge for cover.MTV Multiplayer: Resident Evil 5 Needs To Be More Like Dead Space (January 28, 2009)

I consider myself a fairly season Resident Evil player, and thanks to RE5's controls I died 5 times in the first chapter. WTF

Finally getting around to playing Resident Evil 5 a bit. Is it just me, or are the controls infinitely worse than RE4?

@vJinks Noted! Isn't it you that loves Resident Evil 5? Terrible game, I'm sorry. The controls are so bad.

I'm sorry but Resident Evil 5 is one of the worst games I've played. A very boring single player and the worst controls imaginable.

I have played 47 hours of Resident Evil 5. Not bad for a $20 game with "terrible" controls.
