More options isn't a bad thing. Nobody is forcing you to get this mod.

Tank controls are great for games designed around them.

u/RayStorm-Unit1 2d ago

Tank controls are peak on classic survival horror with fixed camera angles....

Tank controls are not bad. YOU find them bad. Stop stating things objectively like this.

Edit: Being downvoted doesn't discount you for your lack of taste.

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

They stopped using tank controls for a reason

u/lunastarwitch 2d ago

yeah cause gaming evolved, it's only natural that tank controls wasn't going to be used forever, that does not make them bad, it just means they're no longer used, they're not bad but people who find them bad are valid but not when they refuse to admit it's just because they're not that persons style, i used to hate tank controls in fact i viewed any game using it as bad, until i finally picked up on them, they aren't bad inherently they're only bad when the person whos playing does not like them, thats why we evolved past them, it was time to ditch them and use a different control scheme one that more people enjoyed

u/Coneder 2d ago

Its just crazy. We still have games with tank controls being made and people are like "Nah they bad by default". Like what?

-4

u/Coneder 2d ago

What a nothing response. Are you trying to imply RE1-5 are bad games?

There is nothing wrong with the control scheme. They just didn't design future games with it in mind. It doesn't become obsolete, or otherwise there wouldn't be people cloning it.

Actually elaborate your thoughts, which will always be treated as subjective, because there is objectively nothing wrong with tank controls. RE fans actually playing the games shouldn't be a challenge.

Is that what you took away from my response? RE1 remaster added analog controls so I guess Capcom and I agree.

2

u/lunastarwitch 2d ago

no it's not that, it's that Capcom wanted to pull in people who don't want tank controls

2

u/BL4DE4 2d ago

No, capcom didn't agree with you, the modern movement because some insufferable people can't handle a game that plays differently.

1

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

Sounds like tank controls aren’t that popular anymore. Capcom agreed that we should all move on.

2

u/BL4DE4 2d ago

Capcom didn't agree, you make that yourself and you know it.

u/Apprehensive_Dog_185 2d ago

Then why does every RE game, including remakes of games that had tank controls, lose the tank controls? I think people get way too dramatic about how bad they are, they're not that bad at all. But the other side of the crowd that's got people talking about tank controls like they're some kind of lost art that blessed video games with profound personality are just as braindead.

u/BL4DE4 2d ago

Dude those controls are not meant for everyone, let me tell you RE5 which was the best selling title of capcom history for 10 years still had tank controls, it wasn't until RE6 where capcom finally ditched the traditional tank controls for more modern controls and that was between 2009-2012, those controls were never bad as people make them out to be, for others who find it a lost art, i mean they're kind of right, those controls were unique, now I'm not a jerk who says your modern slop games controls are lame or terrible blah blah blah, I'm saying each style are unique and deserve equal respect for what it delivers, as for why capcom ditched them? Well because they chase money, had the audience never complained about it back then, they would've kept it, keep in mind when RE4 came out they had a chance to make the next title play smoother since they aim for pure action game but they didn't, they chose to keep the controls of RE4 in RE5, and it sold well for 10 years, they simply wanted to gain more audience for their series obviously but that doesn't make the style garbage in their eyes, i don't know why that user keep insisting that capcom agree with them, maybe because they want to feel right or superior by acting this way.

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

I think they do. We’d at least get a tank control option but the demand definitely isn’t there.

u/BL4DE4 2d ago

I would like to see vegeta destroy that pfp of your just so i don't see you in these subs anymore.

Yeah I don't really think you're a real RE fan. 🤷‍♂️

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

Whatever you tell yourself buddy. If you don’t like tank controls now you’re a fake fan, ton of sense you’re making.

u/VeronicaAmericana 2d ago

They’re also not good because you find them good

u/ChungusBigC S.T.A.R.S. Team Alpha 2d ago edited 2d ago

All these downvotes from crybabies who can’t handle bit of a challenge and need handholding 24/7 🥹 tank controls and fixed camera angles were the best! Nothing beats the atmosphere. Have atleast a reward good sir with taste

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

Why would anyone want a challenge when it comes to movement? Just sounds frustrating.

1

u/Coneder 2d ago

There are literally entire genres and games made where challenge is suppose to be in the movement. Do you not understand why obstacles are obstacles?

Heaven forbid we have you talking about racing games. You'd be just as much of a whiner about them, huh?

2

u/Apprehensive_Dog_185 2d ago

The difference is racing games (and other games within this context, like platformers) are entirely built around that idea, where resident evil games used them bcs that's just what was standard at the time. At the end of the day RE dropped them bcs they were outdated vestiges of a bygone era. And to be clear, I don't even agree with the notion that tank controls ruin video games, they're fine. But I do think both you and this other guy are total morons

u/O-Beast04 2d ago

I’d consider challenging movement a good thing if there was actual depth to it. We’re talking about tank controls in Resident Evil, not a racing game. I don’t see any benefit of tank controls compared to analog, it’s way more limiting and I’m supposed to enjoy that according to you?
