10 Genius Gameplay Tricks That Made Video Games WAY Better
6. Quick Turn - Resident Evil 3: Nemesis
Resident Evil 3 may be best remembered for introducing Nemesis to the franchise - who stalks the player throughout the game - but by far its most satisfying addition was a pretty basic quality-of-life feature.
The earlier games in the series featured highly divisive tank controls that made even rudimentary manoeuvring a real chore, so Capcom extended an olive branch to fans in the third game by introducing a quick turn ability.
With the press of a button and the intended direction, players could now turn 180 degrees on the spot, allowing them to more easily escape an enemy threat rather than having to spend a few seconds awkwardly shuffling around.
Given that Resident Evil 3's titular antagonist is terrifyingly lightning-fast, it makes sense that the game offers more intuitive movement functionality, granting a much-needed boost from the more sluggish movement of the previous games.
