Resident Evil 4 Remake has been released and players are already loving what they are experiencing but those who are playing a game like this for the first time may need some getting used to.
Unlike the earlier Resident Evil games, the controls and key bindings for Resident Evil 4 Remake follow newer movements and actions.
If you have played Resident Evil 4, 5, and 6, these controls may be somewhat familiar but there are still a few differences that can be felt by players.
Movement and Look Controls
In Resident Evil 4 Remake, players can move around while Leon faces one direction, allowing them to go forward, backward, and strafe from left to right.
This makes it much easier for players to aim as well as dodge attacks in the game and there is even a quick turn feature to help you get out of trouble.
Since the game follows the newer control scheme, players may now look around and aim with their weapon, which can be adjusted by changing the sensitivity.
