How do i get past tank controls when replaying resident evil on ps1?

[VioletR]

I just tried to replay the original Resident Evil on my PS1 and honestly, I can't get past the tank controls. I remember being terrified of it as a kid, but now I just keep running into walls and getting grabbed by zombies because I can't turn fast enough. Did anyone else have this problem coming back to it, or did you just adapt again after a while?

I re-played it a few years back and yeah I kept bumping into walls and getting grabbed. It felt like you had to plan every move two steps ahead with those tank controls, and I guess I learned to turn very slowly and pre-aim corners until I could peek around.

Yep, me too. A weekend of wall smashes and zombie grabs while I tried to remember the map.

Do you think the real problem is the controls, or is there some other thing making it feel worse this time?

I did try again years later and even compared to the remake, but finishing old school had its own dread. I slowed down, let enemies walk past, and kept pushing forward until the pace clicked a bit.
