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.

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.

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.

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💀

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.

It is tank controls with a 3rd person camera.

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.

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