I am the King of all Zoomers. I am routinely filtered by the older systems and mechanics/attitutudes of games before my time (I was like 6 years old when this game came out). With that being said, anyone who thinks that these controls are bad and that this needs a remake is a big baby lmao they work perfectly.

I quit Silent Hill 1 cause the tank controls made it almost impossible for me to get through the first bit of the game without dying endlessly, I have never been able to get into the MGS games because I despise their controls. So know that I mean it when I say that everyone can play RE4, its designed around its tank controls. The enemies are slow and somewhat passive outside of Professional mode.

The game isnt without flaw, in particular I hate the Del Lago boss fight and the island is kinda lame compared to the excellent first 4 chapters of the game. Also hilarious voice acting if you speak spanish, so many of these supposedly castillan peasants speaking like they are clearly from Latam and some who I don't even know where they are supposed to be from : errors in grammar and pronunciation etc.

I would reccommend the version of REmake you can get on current platforms, they have smooth controls you can use instead of tank.

SH1 controls are so easy to get used to after approximately 5 minutes of messing around

Hard agree about mgs. I played mgs1 recently and I was blown away by how horribly it controlled and felt despite being nothing but praised. You're not really missing all that much despite what people may say :P good review !!

It's honestly incredible how well it aged, but then this motherfuckers hit you with the Wii version and then it's impossible to go back. The fact that out of all the ports the Wii is the best one on controls alone has to be some kind reverse monkey's paw shenaningan, where nobody asked for it, yet it's amazing.

@DemonAndGames Yeah Ive heard that, makes sense that the infrared pseudo light gun would be a lot smoother than stick aiming, Ill have to try that version some day

"skill issue" is a clown-ass gamer clone response to your problems with sh1 controls. they are awkward - yes, designed that way; nevertheless. it's like being given a bike with a rusty frame and wobbly wheels (the bike represents existential horror, see) and having some nerd yell "SKILL ISSUE" when you give up on it. like some kinda darwinist npc. (disclaimer: i love sh1 (and re4))
@moschidae mgs1 controls perfectly fine lol
