Who made the decision not to allow walking & gunning?

Seriously,

If there's anything that's frustrating with the RE5 demo, it's the ability not to be able to walk and shoot at the same time. I can live with design/balance decisions , i mean running and gunning wouldn't be fun but at least walking and gunning.

In previous old school titles i totaly understand that they couldn't allow walking/running and gunning, it would make it too easy.

But in later titles RE4,RE5 it just feels kinda stupid, Deadspace one of my latest favorite titles had walking and gunning done very nicely worked out great.
 
I can understand no run and gun cause that would make the game to easy but why no walk and gun? The old ones didn't need it cuase all you had were the walking paced zombies but c'mon!!!
 
You can rnu away from the tougher badys in the Demo seeing as the deadly bad guys have heavy weapons that can cut you in half haha makes them waddle along they cant catch you if you run off.if theres two of you, you can do cover fire would be very effective lool.
 
but think how nice it would be to make a fool of the enemy by going in circles and shooting at the same time while he is trying to hit you with an axe. while he is recovering from missing you you solve the problem with a good ole shotgun shell.
 
In that case it would help, but the game has a good weapon swap system insted, for when things are getting a little out of control
*whips out shotgun, clears area whips out handgun*
you could fire one bullet an switch an then switch again to the next gun its so easy an fast haha :] can see good things happening with that idead
 
the inventory paused the game in RE4 that doesnt happen now lol because of the swapping weapons. Apparently theres 20 differnet weapons in RE5

I swear i heard that somehwere.
 
thats going to be fun to swap through all those to get to one weapon. do you know if there will be a option to make a special order of the weapons or is it like the order that you get them
 
yanno the D-pad you get 4 directions left right up down
they can all be set to whatever weapons you want
nice an easy, you only have 8 spaces in the demo invetory
hope you get a bigger bag or something later in the game x] lol
 
The bad thing about the demo is all the loading its onyl two levels once you finnish the level you gotta load it up again ahaha cant just go through the game.

Its going to be a good game when its finnished hopfuly they might make a few touch ups in the few months left before its out... Unless its all been made by now. it does say the demo might not be the same as the finished game though.
 
Ive only got 2 games on my xbox haha, I really got the console for RE5 :] I mean it aint long now till it comes out! been waiting for ages for it.
 
got it one some deal I got two games and the smaller hard drive musta been about £120+ maybe haha I think anyway it was a gift :]
 
I didn't think of that it would be good if they threw that in the game but i suppose there trying to keep some traditional form of resident evil in there.The demo was good though and either way you have Sheva with you so in coop you could go back to back and shoot people, you also look cool.:P
 
standing and gunning makes it harder, which is why they probably have kept it that way..
i mean when it comes to some crazy dude running at you with a chainsaw, having to stop and shoot, then make a quick getaway without being killed, takes alot more than running around him shooting him, probably not even getting hurt in the slightest.
 
but think now that the whole game is not quite as scary as it was at one point it's not quite as hard cause the frights cause of the camera angles and the "non"ability to aim make it harder now its really easy cause there is no frights now a days they might as well make it as easy as they can
 
Just by a good game that does aloow running an gunning does gears of war allow that? Im sure theres good games out there with that engine.
