How do you feel about tank controls?

Having to stop moving in order to aim makes battles more tense, which is good.

>up is always forward in relation to where your character is facing
I never had an issue with them. If anything being exposed to them so early on probably helped me pay closer attention to things like sound in games. When you walk into those early RE1 rooms and can hear the zombie but not see it yet.

I really like their implementations in Capcom's games but games like Ape Escape shouldn't have them

I like tank controls and honestly just feel depressed that it's even considered a "controversial" subject at all. So much people talk about it never being intended and just a product of hardware limitations of the time, but undeniably they give a game a certain kind of feeling, and how a game feels is literally what we play games for. Quite a lot of good media was only good accidentally or because of constraints and that's okay.

A necessity for fixed camera angles.

How a game controls should never be a source of difficulty or stress/tension itself. If your game does not use a fixed perspective you should not use tank controls.

I thought tank controls were shit in the 90s and I still do. Only difference is I'll play those older games now, whereas back then, I would just go, "yeah, fuck this", and put it back in the case and regret wasting $2 or whatever the cost was renting that game.

FPBP.
In survival horror games, where space needs to be limited in order to fuel paranoia and fear, this is a very smart design choice. It forces you to make a choice, as Luis would say, "Run or shoot? RUN OR SHOOT?!"

They make sub-100 IQ niggers seethe so they're based. Never had an issue with them

>>722959909
anybody who says that is wrong
tank controls were specifically designed so when you walked between scenes you could still hold the same direction on the analog

Love 'em

Anon is right that controls should never be a source of difficulty.
On the other hand, making things more tense with slow movement works perfectly for horror. Ie, character actually taking a second to turn towards enemy.
And I've never played a 3rd person action game with fixed camera angles that didn't come with some aggravation. How often did it happen in Prince of Persia where you jumped straight to hell when the camera changed.

In short, Whatever. It's a design choice that works well for horror

Took some getting used to, but once I did, I appreciate it.

>>722961441
you struggle with tank controls

I wish more games had it. nu re is slop for retards

>>722959547
It's also more realistic, now that I think about it.

Playing the original REs for the first time this month. It took some getting used to but its fun. Getting through the morgue in 2 without getting touched was satisfying

It’s good until you get to boss fights
