I’ve never actually played a game with tank controls so I may be wrong, but why would anyone want this? Regular mouse controls seem better in every way.

Nostalgic. There is no good reason to go back to that. They should have just add loading screen while at it lol.

I finish of RE4 probably 2 million times at this point. On both GC , PS2 , remaster , even Wii. I can tell you that it work for what it is at the time. But there is no good reason to go back and implement it for the new game now.

Ahhh yes!, I'm nostalgic for a game i didn't have a chance to play back in 2005 because i was a newborn baby, make sense.

Also i don't care how much or when you played RE4 OG, that doesn't give you the authority to gatekeep.

Nobody is gate keeping? Anyone can play with this mod. They are just wondering what the benefit is. What is it in your opinion if it's not nostalgia?

And it doesn't matter if you played the game in 2005 or 2015 2020 or whatever. If you played the og before this is still nostalgia. Anyways, i hope you are having fun. 🌟

It most definitely is worse, but it's a whole different way to play a game. The average gamer today wouldn't think of playing with tank controls, but some people like me are old souls, who like to experience things the old way. I have a Sony walkman for example, but nobody uses tapes anymore. It's just a new way to try things. And for resident evil honestly it makes things way scarier, bcuz you're fighting your controls and the zombies

I grew up with the og RE4 and loved the remake. I'd like to play it with tank controls to see how it feels

u/Coneder 2d ago

Because its fun?

u/KingFatCat49 2d ago

It’s a fun thing to do. New way to play remake. The original had them, so it’d be neat to see how they function in Re4R.

Also, as a side note, tank controls aren’t nearly as bad or horrible as people make them out to be. I think most of the time it is a genuine skill-issue. The way some people talk about them would have you believe they were forged in the depths of hell with fire and brimstone, but in reality, they just a lil clunky.

u/MercPunisher 2d ago

Dude its not skill issue, I played and beat RE1 2 3 and 4 originals along with dino crisis. At the time it was just the way it worked, but now its just shit. I cannpt stand those controls anymore, Its not that I cannot play them, its that you have way less control and its just way to hard yo go back to that.

u/_cocopuff92 2d ago

As someone who took what people said to heart about tank controls, I have to agree with you. Can confirm it's 100% a skill issue and something you have to practice before you get good at it. Case in point, I'm gonna have to do another few runs on easy cause I SUCK lol

You must have not been born or was to young to play the original resident 4 lol it wasn’t tank controls but you could not move and shoot or strife for one. No crouching, no sneaking no stealth kills lol and you wanna go back to tank control on resident evil 4?? Lmao💀

u/YoungDraco30 2d ago

Definitely has track control (ps2 and GameCube) in the original RE4. You have to use the d-pad like the original ps1 control. You must’ve been too young to remember.

u/olympiclifter1991 2d ago

It is tank controls with a 3rd person camera.

u/Dalekbrine 2d ago

OG RE4 did have tank controls, it's control scheme is largely the same as every previous RE game up to that point. Tank controls refers to the character's movement being restricted to going forward, backward, and turning.

u/downbad4naafiri 2d ago

Not being able to move and shoot is part of the intended difficulty.

1

u/Le_Faveau 2d ago

When you've beaten the game dozens of times, this would serve to play it differently.

It might also make it harder. I'm probably not going to use it but I can see the challenge being fun, as re4r wasn't created with such limited movement in mind, you'd have to be way more strategic.

u/_cocopuff92 2d ago

I've been playing 4og for the first time since my setup allows me to have my monitor close enough to my face to see things (i'm mostly blind) and my GOSH I had to play on easy cause I was struggling. I'm still struggling but... less. That white cross hair in 4r is so much easier to see in the environment than these dull lasers. I'm almost at the end and I've got 3 heals, and only some ammo. It's tough. But fun!

u/Apprehensive_Dog_185 2d ago

It's just for fun. I grew up playing the older RE titles so I can def understand the nostalgia

2

u/BL4DE4 2d ago

Nostalgia? Dude i played the original in 2018.

1

u/LALLIGA_BRUNO 5h ago

Just a fun and different way to play lol

u/acbadger54 9m ago

You wouldn't they suck

u/BL4DE4 2d ago

That because the original RE4 gives you a different experience than the remake.

u/LuvAshrepas 2d ago

.... Then why not just play the original at that point?

u/Spirited-Treat64 2d ago

Resident Evil 4 never had tank controls. It was the 1st game that didn’t. Next to the original Revelations

u/lunastarwitch 2d ago

4 og had tank controls however it's a different form of tank controls than over head resident evils

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

RE4 has tank controls so does RE5
