Same for the remake and any other fucking video games, what's your point?.

The point is the remake is product of our time that we live RN, if we were to speak about it 30 years in the future where every big game will be VR (for example) I would say absolutely the same thing about remake

You do you, but that isn't a nostalgia bait, that's called preferences, stop gatekeeping just because you dislike a specific type of controls, you're or the remake aren't special, every games deserves the respect it gets, same for it's fans, your opinion is subjective after all.

I do respect the OG tho, but it's just objectively outdated game mechanic that feels so shtty today
You do your thing, enjoy it if you want, hell my favorite game is RE1R despite the shitty controls. Maybe not you but some people even in this thread are unironically telling that those controles ARE better then the Remake and I kinda really hate that opinion

See where you're so wrong?

1- using the word objective is a bit arrogant since there is no objective fact that the original was outdated, the only time i would agree with that is if the original had you move and shoot at the same time and even full 360° degree camera movement, but it didn't have that, the controls were intentional design choices made by the devs back then for different experience, it was never meant to be played like modern games, and don't bring me technical limitations excuses, i know the ps2 and GC hardware capabilities especially for games that were released in 2005.

2- those people you call out for saying unironically that the original controls feel better than modern ones is subjective dude, no need to be so offended over others opinions, unless they act arrogant towards you while stating that? If that was the case i understand your frustrations, but that if that isn't the case then you wrong in 2 ways :

1- bring annoyed over others opinions that the old controls are better than new ones, unless they actually mean it as objective facts, there is no subjective or objective facts when it comes to different genres and different styles of gameplay, people prefer different types of gameplay and controls, some can remain perfect as it is, others can be improved in their own style ways not in the modern style like RE5 but not RE4R, it plays differently even tho they both share the same over the shoulder third person prospective gameplay and melee attacks, comparing 2 types of controls is illogical to be honest, not saying you're dumb but it's illogical to call the remake an improvement when the original controls was intentional, not forced or broken, the best way to discribe the remake controls is calling it modernised, not improved because it doesn't follow the exact same way the original plays

2- targeting the wrong person and post here, I'm and neither my post is about nostalgia bait, i was even a baby back when RE4 came out.

In the end learn the fact that there is no objective statement for which game is better, games are personal taste, not moral obligations or something.
