@@pedromattos6903 Ehh, I'd say it's more like seeing a resurgence of motion control games a la Wii in 20 years. They're not bad for the time but they'd likely suck ass compared to tech in the future (even just near future).

But there are always some good ones you can play even 20-30 year later and still have fun :) With out 90s games we woulden't have fps, rts and most of rpg games now :) Also some of them are still fun to play, and sometimes even get remasters or remakes to cut out all the annoying parts (like bad/limited controls, or engine limitations).

What people don’t realize is that tank controls are very important for games that have fixed cameras that can shift to another perspective at any given moment. Imagine having to constantly change the direction of “forward” every time the camera shifts.
It's really not that bad. While they're not perfect controls, they're definitely more flexible than tank controls. And the motions can be fixed so that the last motion taken is registered as the way forward until release. But I'm no coder, I'm not sure how simple or complex this would be. Might not even be possible, but I vaguely recall games like that...
"Now if I was a Resident Evil game something would jump out of a filing cabinet." (Key appears.) "Ahh Cool!" - Mike 2019 What do you know Mike was right. Also T-Shirt idea.
You can create something that looks and feels like an older game without intentionally copying things that suck. Tank controls are bad....it's not "intense" to constantly have to remind yourself which way is 'forward'. Fighting the controller ≠ fighting the bad guy.
Just play real old games, they are more fun then most retro ones. Even the old RE1 would be more fun then that game. 2019 the year of bad retro ripoffs :)
Wasn't part of the challenge in the PS1-era horror games fighting with the awful controls? Y'know like how half of the challenge from Super Mario 64 was how slippery everything was, regardless of whether the level featured ice or not.
Just like how part of the challenge with FO76 and Anthem is working out how to get it running properly and what time of day you can play without everything going to shit.
There are some great retro style games out there that mimic this era and are genuinely terrifying - the best made by Puppet Combo! They don't always come out for Xbox but they are massively better than this dreck.
Forgive us Ancient Ones, oh Modern Gamers! In 1995, we knew no better. (Although, to be honest, the camera angle thing was just as frustrating back then.)
Don't worry. The potatoes you see in this video come from a fourth dimension. No Irish potatoes were hurt making this video... More importantly, no Irish potatoes have arms or bleed lol
been thinking some more - that bit where you zip line to another building? That SHOULD have been a cut scene. I am old (cough) enough to remember this gaming era. You would play through, play through and finally finish a stage. Your reward? CUT SCENE. The game dev should take a long hard look at their WASD keys after missing that opportunity.
I know everyone is having a go at the tank controls, but it's good to see the enemy AI is also subjected to them or designed around it's limitations making it easy to go around them if you have the room to do so and avoiding them wherever possible. Alot of newer games that still have these controls no longer have enemies that obey the same laws as the player making all encounters unavoidable which is actually bad design in this type of game. If anything this games quite clever in giving you the ablity to skirt foes and conserve your limited inventory like the older games in this genre allowed you to do too. A proper homage if you will

I love the mechanic of binge-ing on painkillers. For one, it only COVERS UP the pain... temporarily. Pretty sure eating more and more is going to give you the illusion of feeling better as you slowly drift off to sleepy death.

Fun potato fact, the stalks of potato plants are poisonous!
Just don't tell Jane, she doesn't need any more methods to poison someone.😱
Do not forget to fried them...

Yup. There's nothing worse than 360 movement when the fix camera jumps around alot. Games like earthworm jim 3d are a prime example of this.
