WTF! No Run and Gun Shooting in RE 5, says CAPCOM!

      OK folks, your not going to believe this one.  According Capcom's Community Blog,

"To correct this whoopsie: THE NEW CONTROL OPTIONS IN RESIDENT EVIL 5 DO NOT ALLOW YOU TO MOVE AND SHOOT SIMULTANEOUSLY."

       So wait.... Didn't Capcom JUST say that there WAS run and gun shooting in the latest Inside XBOX on XBOX LIVE?  Apparently that was wrong.  And the language of the post seems to indicate that this system is strange but they wanted it like this.  I often wonder about Japanese developers who do things like this.  I don't know if it's some kind of artsy rebellion against reality or what, but it didn't make sense with MGS's funky shooting that they got rid of in the latest version any more than it makes sense here.  It also looks horrible and unrealistic, which I guess is what Capcom is going for.

       So that's it folks, the whole thing has been solved.  But then there is another month until the game comes out, so maybe there will be more conflict over it yet.... But if this REALLY matters to you, perhaps you shouldn't buy the game until it comes out and everyone KNOWS FOR CERTAIN.
