I would argue that 6DOF shooters present more of an intellectual filter than tank controls, which at the end of the day are 1.5D at most (forwards, backwards, turn left or right)
Being able to navigate and visualize a 3D space, move not only forwards and back but left and right AND up and down, as well as rolling to change what "up and down" are, is the real test.

Never thought about it like that but it's kinda true. The different perspectives and moving cameras are a big complaint I would hear about classic RE. I think anyone alive in the 90s somehow had enough IQ to process this but newer people absolutely hate it.

That’s absolutely true.
I once made my girlfriend play Resident Evil 3, and she spent fifteen minutes complaining about the tank controls before giving up entirely.

It’s not that people are incapable of managing a challenge it’s that many are simply unwilling to adapt or improve in the first place, which is absolutely an indicator of cognitive shortcomings.

I think 90s gamers were more willing to learn new gameplay styles because games were so different from one another back then, nowadays everything is a WASD shooter so if it doesn’t play like that the gamer’s brain will malfunction and instead of just learning how to play it they’ll call it outdated because that’s what the journalists tell them the correct opinion is.

in a way yes, but (at least for me) I can move any direction when I’m walking, I can’t just jump and turn around or do a sidehop in a car

it's overly focused on tank controls in the context of fixed camera angles which only a few games used. they were far more common in a more recognizable behind the back format that wouldn't be that tricky compared to what players used to. in this case the complaint would more so be about the slow degree by degree turning.

I like using tank controls in old FPS games. Ramps up the difficulty more than the actual difficulty option. Aim is harder to master so ammo reservation is important if you miss too much, melee is not that useful as most cheese maneuvers depend on mouse look, ambushes and traps actually feel like ambushes and traps, overall the added challenge is fun to overcome.

If only Capcom had the balls to make another RE game in this style.

It's really the confined spaces that makes it work for me. When you're out in space it's such a different feeling. Not that one is necessarily better than the other, but one definitely resonates with me more

I’ve long thought that’s what it was. I had tank controls mastered when I was like 11, so to hear all this pissing and moaning about how “bad” they are online from people who can’t seem to wrap their heads around it leads me to believe it’s some kind of hardware issue in that person’s brain. I don’t mean that like “lol, you’re stupid”, but like the way some people can’t see those Magic Eye pictures, or don’t have an internal monologue, or are prone to motion sickness.

That would be well and good, but then said people start demanding that my favorite franchises start being altered to cater to their needs, rather than accepting that it’s just not for them. That’s a problem with video games that I don’t see in any other medium; everyone thinks that everything needs to be made specifically for them at all times, and budgets are so bloated and out of control these days that developers have to hit as large of an audience as possible, so everything has to be designed to be as broad and unobtrusive as possible, hence why everything feels like homogenized sludge now.

They wouldn’t even have to make it a mainline entry, just hire one of these indie developers making blatant RE/Silent Hill homages, give them a budget and some supervision, and let them make a classic style RE game.
