Veterans of the series probably remember the clunky tank controls in the original Resident Evil 2. It definitely took some time to get used to, but those controls worked pretty well with the game’s fixed camera angles.

Fast forward to 2019, and Capcom decided to dump it completely. They’ve modernized the controls, giving us a third-person, over-the-shoulder perspective found in Resident Evil 4. While Capcom did play around with the idea of tank controls and fixed camera angles, they ultimately agreed that those mechanics felt a bit too outdated.
