He could mean something else when referring to a Gears-like system--maybe an 'A-button-does-all' type of thing. RE4 started this (A picks up items, opens doors, kicks enemies, kicks doors, jumps over certain things, uses context-sensitive items, etc.) They may just be expanding it to include a fast-run if you hold the button and a roll if you tap it. That would be like Gears, and a natural evolution of RE4.
