Alien Resurrection is the game often credited with inventing the modern standard for first-person-shooter controls on consoles. But is that actually true? An...
I absolutely did not. However I don’t own the Switch, my brother does, and we only reminisced about Goldeneye the once and perhaps I managed to shoot a window in the first level, or perhaps even a guard or two, but no, I didn’t figure out a control scheme.
I’m actually unsure how I played it with N64 in the first place. Did I move from the C-buttons when freeaiming… hmm… I remember at least trying the D-pad setup as well. But I feel like d-pad side wasn’t good because less buttons. Honestly can’t fkin remember. Would need to play with a N64 controller to remember I think. Or perhaps it’s just lost. But I do remember we actually did freeaim and and strafe at the same time, whereas the regular scheme didn’t properly allow for that iirc. (Due to the whole lack of two joysticks)
Also mandatory mention about how shit the N64 joystick was. There were some friends I’d give the good controller to to even out the odds but some weren’t ever allowed near the good ones, because they used way too much force and would’ve shat the good ones as well.
