Playing RE2 for the first time while waiting on the remake and I can't even make it past the beginning parts. I keep accidentally running into zombies and just when I feel like I got it under control everything goes all wonky again. Now I see why nobody wants these tank controls back. Might be better off waiting on the remake to experience RE2.

I adapted to the control scheme in the game and played it.

My first couple hours with the game were very rough. I died on the first handful of screens at least a dozen times and vaguely remember wanting to give up. Once I made it to the green staircase beyond the basketball court (experienced players can do this in like two minutes), I persevered to the first save point and actually beat the game on that file.
Moral of the story: don't give up! Getting merely a fundamental understanding of the controls is the toughest part. Longtime players may take it for granted, but no one is going to pick up a classic RE for the first time and glide through it.

Yes, exactly. That’s just a bad game design of an old bad video game, no matter how you look at it.
But game’s quite easy. So easy that it’s boring and is not worth it at all! You just walk and press auto-aim. You don’t need to run at all. The game’s slow as shit, so are those enemies. And you’ll never run out of ammo because of that auto-aim. You’ll never miss a shot! Basically you can play with your eyes closed. The most boring type of a games for me. |

By playing it for like a half an hour until I got used to it. Doesn't take that long.

It's beyond me why some people find tank controls so hard to get used to. They're quite intuitive and they're also the best choice for fixed camera games. No matter the camera orientation, up will always make you walk forward.

I remember sitting and trying to kill all the zombies coming out the fire when I first played it 100 years ago. What a little idiot I was back then...
It’s just practice. Like all games you need to get used to the controls. RE2 is great, just look at the hype when someone runs it at the GDQs.

I'm sure I'll get use to it but it's still awkward as hell.

I'm sure I'll get use to it but it's still awkward as hell. Just keep at it and you'll have it down in no time. Once you get familiar with the controls, the rest of the game becomes a cakewalk.

And then you can play 1 and 3 and Code Veronica and REmake.

All you have to do is remember that forward is your characters forward, back is their back and the same for left/right.
I used to HATE them but it all made sense after a while and I think that control scheme works best for fixed cameras. Also its part of the "game" or rules. It's not that hard but I get it can be weird at first.

Those are all throughout the series until 4 happens.
...wait you're complaining about the controls but you played REmake? What?

This is what picture players who hate tank controls: They were acceptable for their time, they aren't good now. Good controls and walking while shooting > Tank controls.

I just went along with it because those were the standards at the time.
Despite being able to A-rank with no save for all four scenarios, I can agree that it's extremely awkward.

I adapted to the control scheme in the game and played it. This big time. Can we grow the fuck up, learn to adapt to different control schemes, and quit bitching every time we run across a game that doesn't play like a third person shooter? People don't want to adapt to anything. They just want everything to have one or two control schemes so they don't have to put any thought into playing a game. Just go play a different franchise. |

If they're good when they come out then they're good forever. Negative. There's always going to be games that get dated with certain mechanics that won't be utlized anymore. That's why I always play classic video games with the mentality of "when they were made" and "progressing through with the limitations that happened back then." Comparing bad controls to good ones is a dumb argument.

Gameplay can not be dated. That's why I always play classic video games with the mentality of "when they were made" and "progressing through with the limitations that happened back then." I play it with the mentality of "oh, I like this. Why the fuck don't they do this as much (if at all) anymore?".

Lol please don't let me explain this to you again why certain aspects of gameplay mechanics aren't used these days otherwise we'd still have tank control games. Newsflash: We don't unless they're indies. Time to deal with it. I play it with the mentality of "oh, I like this. Why the fuck don't they do this as much (if at all) anymore?" Because it's been 20 years after the fact? Change happened. I don't expect PS4 games to look like blocky, muddled textures anymore like they used to in the PS1 days for example.

Well if you never got used to tank controls, then of course you'll have teething problems getting used to it. For those of us who played it back then, well personally I played quite a few games with tank controls by then so it was not alien to me in anyway that, for example holding up made me move forwards no matter where the camera was aiming.
I guess the two things to remember, you are moving your character like a remote control device, exactly like what I just said with up always being forwards, cement that mindset. The second thing is just getting used to moving more efficiently, for example for tighter corner turning I tap run instead of hold it. |

It's not like today's games where the game holds your hand through the whole experience.

It was so AMAZING and so AAA and so exciting and the graphics were AMAZING, and it was scarey, and the puzzles were fun, and i pretty much lost my shit and my friends were blown out of the water by it.
Did i mention how amazing the graphics and CGI was? Like so good. At the time anyways.

It took some learning even when it came out. It's like any other game. Have to learn the controls.

No it didn't. There weren't any tank controls in the ps4 version of the remake. RE4 has tank controls in all versions. Up makes you go forward, left and right make you turn around (and not walk in those directions),down makes you walk backwards. These are tank controls, in RE4 is just less evident because of the over-the-shoulder camera. RE5 has tank controls too (with the addition of strafing and full camera control, compared to RE4), Revelations and RE6 were the first RE games to have 3D controls.

It is because of the tremendous popularity of games like RE4, Revelations 1, Revelations 2, and ORC they are the pinnacle of survival-horror genre to this day and are the best sellers! And those 20 year old games were short, so they had to make them tedious to play, to hide the fact that there’s no actual good gameplay at all! You just put some shit in and out of the shit box for no reason like 2/3 of the game’s time. I can’t believe that today someone would actually play something like Remaster HD and not fall asleep! |

So you're just going by whatever's popular then? I'm going by a style that's been fleshed out over the years in game development. We don't need to have games anymore that obscure your vision/uses pre-rendered backgrounds because things advanced since then. Obviously you're never going to understand this logic since you don't play most of these newer titles. Which means they ain't outdated. If they're stuck to a niche demographic of video games that are mostly crowdfunded or fan-made then yeah, fixed camera horror is kinda dead in terms of notoriety. Even if I were to "deal with it", that doesn't mean I wouldn't complain. You can complain all you want. Developers are going to aim for what makes them money, so clearly they're blending the aesthetics of old Resident Evil and modernized controls. It's only going to continue if REmake 2 is successful, so...complain away? Lol. So? A good game's a good game regardless of the time period. Doesn't mean a game can't show it's age graphically and mechanically. Next topic. No shit? That doesn't mean an old game isn't fun just cause it has worse graphical capabilities. Yet you're saying a game can't be outdated. Why is it so easy to make you look silly if I brought up a perfectly reasonable counterpoint?

Receiver with the usual stupid corporate shill damage control bullshit as usual. I'm going to laugh at you all day as well if the writing isn't in the sand already on this board. It's a bunch of posts on this board with people criticizing the controls of Resident Evil for their first time getting into it. What's the response here? "OH GET GUD!" Obviously there's something up or some learning curve required to understand the mechanics as opposed to a game like Revelations 1 where it's easy to understand how that game works on the very first level. If you think the means to adapt to subpar controls is "corporate shilling" then you need to crawl back into whatever ungodly womb you came out of.
