    Because having a static camera allowed the background to be prerendered with a lot more detail than could be done in real time at the time.

    3D game controls were still heavily experimental at the time, and analog sticks weren't a standard yet. They needed a control scheme that would allow the player to move and shoot accurately with just a d-pad. It would not be possible to aim in more than eight directions without the tank controls.

      Whatever the case, more games should control like that nowadays. It's a great fit for horror games, and in fact, any kind of game that is more about resource management than pure shooty skills.

    Bad bait but I'll bite.
    They are how they are because of the permanently changing camera perspective you dummy. Having them be absolute to the character instead to the camera makes sense. And I believe there was no Dual Shock controller yet when it originally released. Also 14yo me had 0 issues with the controls so why do you?

    Once again the eternal zoomer exposes himself as the shitter that can't be arsed to learn the game he's playing. Zoomers can't deal with challenge. If they don't immediately begging winning they will flat out drop the game. Children all of them.

      First PS1 controllers released without analogs. To have full 360 on a d-pad you need rotation-based controls.

      Zoomers are the only ones moronic enough to think it was an intentional challenge because an eceleb told them so in some gay 2,5 hour "How Silent Hill Reinvented Jumping" video. Everyone who actually grew up with PS1 understands it's a gamepad limitation.

      > tank controls
      > for a human
      you are the moron here, use tank controls for tanks and human controls for humans
      Super Mario 64 did this right decades ago, or a modern example for RE4 would be GTA
      It shows that the RE remakes use modern controls and feel much better as a result

      That Jill has some really wide back and a giant head. There's something weird, but I can't pin point what is it.
