Therefore, when you start playing The House Of The Dead: Remake, you'll likely notice a lot of different controller options. This abundance of options allows players to tailor gameplay to their preferences. However, they can also feel overwhelming if you don't know how these options work. So, here's what you need to know.

Using the traditional control scheme, you can fire and reload with either the face buttons or triggers while aiming with a thumbstick. Additional functions, like weapon changes and flashlight usage, are mapped to face buttons and the directional pad.
