Although I do miss interesting control schemes, everything is almost homogenous now and quite boring.

I don't at all. And I cherish the fact that I can rebind old inputs at will with Steam Input + emulators.

I rebinded the controls of Armored Core 1 so it played with modern shooter controls. Made it so much better and intuitive and now I wonder if the only reason I sucked at the game back in the day was because of its archaic control scheme.
