Maybe its the PS3 version.
The controls took a little getting used to, I'm not sure why as I was very comfortable with RE4's GCN controls, but I was able to get through level 1, single player, normal difficulty, with only one death. You do know in RE games your goal is to survive, not to kill everything in site, right? Just run, man! :p
As for the text, I can read it fine (though I have a 60" HD tv), but if it goes by too quick its available in the extras section. Haven't seen anything on load screens yet (as of chapter 2) that wasn't available from the start.
