[size=+1]PlayStation Move hands-on: Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition[/size]

Aiming is much, much easier. I was able to pop headshots, even at long ranges, with impressive accuracy using the PlayStation Move’s reticule aiming. You move your character with an analog stick (via the Navigation Controller or a DualShock 3), then squeeze the trigger on the PlayStation Move to draw your weapon. Once your shot is lined up, you press the Move button with your thumb to fire the shot. Easy!

From what I played, the new PlayStation Move aiming controls will be a big help to players who had difficulty adjusting to Resident Evil 5’s default analog stick control scheme.

Knifing is easier, too. In the original version of Resident Evil 5, swinging your knife was a two-step process: you pressed and held one button to ready the knife, and another to swing it. But using PlayStation Move, you can “waggle” the motion controller to immediately swing the knife at any time. It’s handier in a pinch, and makes close-quarters battles feel faster and deadlier. It’s also easier to smash open crates and barrels to find those all-important healing herbs.

Reloading works through a similar process: you pull the trigger to ready your weapon, then “waggle” the PlayStation Move control to reload. These tweaks make the game feel faster and nimbler, freeing up precious seconds during heated combat sequences.

Chris and Sheva are more maneuverable. By shifting the run button to the left-hand Navigation Controller (or a DualShock 3), Resident Evil 5 frees up your right hand for aiming and knifing. This has a liberating effect on the game’s pacing by encouraging more hit-and-run tactics — a must when battling tough bosses such as the chainsaw-wielding Majini. Much like the other enhancements to the PlayStation Move control scheme, this makes playing Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition a nimbler, easier process.

If you already own a copy of Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition for your PS3, you’ll be able to download a free patch close to the launch of the PlayStation Move (September 19th in North America) to enable the new motion-control scheme. This will only work with RE5 copies labeled “Gold Edition” — the original version of RE5 won’t be receiving the patch, for technical reasons.

Moving forward, all new “Gold Edition” versions of Resident Evil 5 that hit store shelves after the launch of PlayStation Move will come with PlayStation Move support included on the disc. Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition also comes with all the DLC add-ons, including the new “Desperate Escape” and “Lost in Nightmares” scenarios, as standard features.

RE5 is pretty badass... only thing I didn\'t like about it was the controls, they really ramped up the action and frantic pacing of the game, but left the controls in the stone age.  I hope with 6 they either go back to more creepy slow paced with same controls, or fully embrace the action lean this franchise has taken and let me move while re-loading!

Mercenaries mode is far and away the most amazing game mode ever.  You unlock it after beating the game, and you get to unlock new characters with different load-outs and you go for different rankings... so awesome.

Definitely a game made for co-op, played through it with a friend the whole way and we also co-op in mercenaries mode as well.  I\'ve easily sunk 40+ hours into the game (mostly in mercenaries), it was money well spent..

Jbean, I saw you on xbox live and steam playing this game..are you finally able to play cross-platform in a game? I know they tried that with another game but it didnt really work out since it was a FPS...that\'d be pretty awesome if they managed to do that

I havent been up for anymore RE5 since i beat it a couple times when it first came out. tried mercenaries a few times but I could never get into it. I get too worked up with game modes that has unlimited enemies and time constraints, so that was the worst of both worlds,haha.

Playing a bit the SP, nice, but not a "WOW" from me.

I don\'t like that much the controls, most of all in action/survival like this one, and you\'re moving so slow when you walk back, and you have to stop for re-loading, etc, "RE1 controls" together with "Uncharted2 frenetic action" ?

Anyway not a bad game, maybe I have to get used a bit more after months of Uncharted2 game-play.

No, i\'m playing this game on Steam (PC), but it\'s a game for windows live... so i\'ll show up in live playing on PC, but they don\'t let pc users play against xbox users and I doubt they ever will.
