Ever since the remake was announced I have not understood a single argument that RE4 should have aged perfectly. I don't think it has at all. I replayed it on PS4 but never got around to finish it despite loving it the first time, largely because I struggled to enjoy the controls in modern times.

Can you expand on this?

I've always been curious on what people mean by the controls. Like is it button mapping, animations, the way the gameplay from controller to screen interacts, the way Leon moves?

There is so much to what 'controls' encompass. I'll be the first to admit that the actions for the buttons pressed for the original Gamecube version isn't exactly intuitive, many games aren't and I feel like we just only recently have started to see more intuitive options over the past 6 years or so. On the other hand, it takes about 10 minutes to get used to.

I will say the reason I think that RE4 has 'aged perfectly' is because Leon is still tanking here. And realistically the shooting has aged fine because that's how you would shoot in real life, by just standing your ground and aiming, not running and gunning.
