Refined Controller Mapping RE4 UHD

to use the Easier QTEs method on all but the El Gigante fights and the final action of the  Krauser QTE fight. In those two cases you should use the A

button for rapid tapping.

The B button (O on Playstation) acts as Cancel when you are in menu on all versions, it had no other purpose. Command Ashley has been repurposed

to function with the B button because it had no use outside of a menu screen.

Press forward on the left analog stick and the character will run without holding a second button. Pressing forward with the D-pad will make the character walk. Useful for the blind convict fight. Using the D-pad while holding R2 will manually run.

Auto Knife Swing

Removed the 'Ready Knife' so now when you press or hold L1 the character will swing continuously until you release the button. No need to hold a second button.

Easier QTEs

Unintended but I discovered as a byproduct of this setup that QTEs were much simpler, well, most of them are, once you train yourself not to rely on what the screen is telling you. Almost every QTE can be successful by clicking L2+R2+X (X button is Square on Playstation). The reason for this is that L2 functions as the 'A' button now and almost every prompt in the game is either L2+R2 or X+A, so when you click L2+R2 you are also clicking A. By clicking X as well you are essentially clicking both actions, L2+R2(A)+X, which won't fail.

I personally enjoy this setup having both the gun and the knife used by the same finger and I feel more like I am using the whole controller rather than one side. That said, there are two QTE fights that can be problematic.

it is random or not. I died a few times and it was always the same sequence. At any rate, I'm not sure if I was just slow or if it is the problem with R2

not being able to hit rapidly. It is achievable and I didn't find either of these fights frustrating enough to alter my buttons.
