Who else wanted tank controls and pre-rendered backgrounds from the Remake?

[DayofReckoning]

Obviously, people like me are in the minority, the last of a dying breed I guess you could say. And that's understandable. I can see how the majority wouldn't want the old, outdated style controls and visuals. Plus there is a new generation of younger gamers who didn't grow up on the old games.

Not to say the RE2 Remake isn't great, it is without doubt.

But in my mind, if Capcom would have done to Resident Evil 2 Remake what they did to the original Resident Evil on the Gamecube, they would have been amazing for an old school fan like myself.

I did not. Those were a relic, a constraint of the PSX hardware. I hoped for an optional unlockable fixed camera mode, but that is it.

What's sad is, sometimes in my panic, instincts took over, and I expected tank controls. Then a zombie bites my neck cause I turned around. Feels bad lol

[Bansheebutt]

I don't see how the game would benefit from having the character control like a car.
RE4 was praised for many things; it's stiff movement controls (which are indeed "tank controls") were not one of them

Pre-rendered backgrounds still have a place in Gaming, just not in anything that involves significant action. (IE Rpgs)

Hell, the N64 version of RE2 implemented full 360 movement, didn't it?

I wanted it too, genuinely was disappointed when I saw it was RE4 style. And nobody has been able to make a proper fixed camera mod either. Shame.

Re4 has tank controls :D That didn't change until RE6 (though I think re5 added a strafe mode option)

Edit: oops misread your comment

[Trent Easton]

I would LOVE to have the classic style. But, I think what we got is equally good, so I'm not complaining

[Gin-chan]

I wont mind pre-rendered backgrounds. But not tank controls though. Those used to be a nightmare to me when playing these kinds of games.

[Illusion of Progress]

Originally, yes, that is what I wanted too, but I was also fine with seeing how it turned out, and it ended up so good (even with its flaws) that I'd now also like to see a Resident Evil (1) remake in this fashion. This was my game of the last 5 years at least, and one of two I bought full price at launch (and the only one between them that was $60; heck I got the more expensive version actually).

While both (a Resident Evil 1 remake like this and a Resident Evil 2 remake like the first was originally done) would be welcome and would be games I'd buy, I neither expect nor mind not to see either. Resident Evil 2 2019 was a great thing, Resident Evil 3 is being remade like 2 was, at least.

I don't mind fixed camera angles or prerendered backgrounds, but tank controls are outdated for a reason. This is coming from a person who grew up with RE2 and RE3 in 98 and 99.

[Lanzagranadas]

I just wanted an option to play with fixed camera angles. That doesn't mean I wanted pre-rendered backgrounds or forcing everyone to play with tank controls.

For A) RE games can have FCA in 3D backgrounds as it happened in RECV and Outbreak.
For B) RE0 and RE HD Remasters hadve FCA and give players the option to choose between tank or modern controls.

[sling_shot]

Prerendered backgrounds are lame. If you can 3D, do 3D.
Tank controls... I can't bring myself to play like that on a controller.
The keyboard is way more intuitive. One finger for each direction and that's it.

But when it comes to external camera rather than 3rd person, it's not a matter of old vs new, it's a specific design choice: from a graphic standpoint it allows for objects placed far away from the camera to have less defined structure and textures, and on the gameplay side of things you can give each area a very specific identity and make exploration much more complex.

play the NTSC version of Haunting Ground with the behind-the-back cheat code and see what happens.

I would rather have the originals on Steam instead of putting these mechanics on Remakes

[hammerstar]

You know, I think these games should just include the original version as a bonus extra. That way you would have the original playable on current hardware.

Thinking of how the Splatterhouse reboot included the original arcade game and both Genesis sequels. Same idea.

But the pre-rendered backgrounds and fixed camera of the older games WERE NOT a stylistic choice, or even a gameplay benefit. They were a workaround to make the game look better with the limitations of the hardware back then.

And while I've been with the series since the start and would even put RE in my top five favorite franchises of all time, no, you will never convince me that we were better off when I could not see a monster around a corner that my character logically can.

[Vayne]

Seriously nostalgia people is the worst. If you want those then play the ORIGINAL. Dont ruin the remake with those crap

Whats the point to remake the game if its same with the original? Better just remaster it

[DeadPhoenix]

Tank controls in 2019 have no place. It was fine back in the 90's and early 2000 because of the hardware limitations. But now it shouldn't even exist. I'm glad Capcom went over the shoulder instead of fixed camera's and tank controls. Would have ruined the game.
