Capcom has moved to clarify yesterday’s reports that a run and gun control scheme was going to be making an appearance in its upcoming action horror title, Resident Evil 5.
Speaking on the Capcom-Unity blog, the publisher has confirmed that these reports were false and that their representative was incorrect in stating otherwise.
"While RE5 is very action-heavy, the base RE game design mechanic of holding fast while shooting remains," says the Capcom blog.
It would have made things interesting to add a little fresh tactile running and gunning to the mix, but alas, gamers will have to reacquaint themselves with the old school stop and shoot mechanics of past titles.
Resident Evil 5 is due out on March 13 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
