Control content roadmap. Fall 2019 - mid 2020 (Alan Wake teased in later expansion)
- Thread starter derFeef
- Start date
See like... Normally spoilers can hurt people but man this actually makes me want to pick up Control now. I was only a bit interested but now I'm fully on board. I loved Alan Wake so much and sad we never got a sequel.
I'm going to Spoiler this regarding Alan Wake and Control so read at your own peril...
This isn't just some coy "Oh, yeah, they reference Alan Wake in the game!" thing. Like, Alan Wake THE CHARACTER is in Control, you get a Hotline-sequel vision of him typing a manuscript where he also speaks as he's typing it. It's hidden in The Panopticon. It's created a rumour that Control is a story Alan is writing to free himself somehow.
Dude you have no idea, there are A LOT of nods to Alan Wake as well as documents describing the events and response of the FBC to lake incident as well as items like the coffee cups and even one of the manuscript pages.
Yeah Quantum Break had one of those as well. I'd be super surprised if we got another Alan Wake from Control.
Absolutely cannot wait for these. There were so many times during Control where all I could do was shake my head and mutter about how much I love the idiots at Remedy. And Alan Wake is wonderful.
Very excited.

What??? I never found this!
AWE is indeed a term inside Control, but I'm half conviced it's secretly Alan Wake E-something.
AWE stands for
Altered World Events
Bright Falls, the city from Alan Wake
ingame documents, including one for the collectible thermos
Only now I realize the top in Alan Wake. Yep, it's about the that event no doubt.
Control is so good that retroactively makes every remedy game better
Both his stories and the oldest house seem to operate on the idea of subjective reality since certain elements of the book club articles that you find end up happening to people, along with the building changing once Jesse becomes the director. That said, I think he actually just exists as part of that universe. He likely shows up in the hotline because he was a candidate for the directorship as well, according to the files you find.
But yeah, this isn't just some kind of cameo and reference to the dev's previous games. It is blatantly within the same universe as Alan Wake.

I have like zero interest never touching the game again but I will definitely stay tuned once we get closer to mid 2020. Love me some Alan Wake.
When i saw lot of writing and references about Alan Wake in Control i had lot of goosebumps, holy shit, it's happening for real!!! "cries"
Now some lovely music time from Alan Wake! :D

Yeah it's totally true. And especially funny when I saw comments saying things like there's no way they could put Alan in Control seeing as his voice actor also plays Dr. Darling and now I'm like.... Um... yeah... about that...
Yeah, that was huge, no doubt about the connection. Kind of odd too as
Matthew Poretta voices/plays both Dr. Darling and Alan Wake very obviously, and you could make a stretch of Thomas Zane and Zachariah Trench playing very similar roles and both played by James McCaffery as well, so maybe there is something to that rumor. Or maybe it's just casting and that's as far as that goes.
Day 1 for all of this.
The only thing that would make this better is some kind of New Game+, where even if you couldn't sequence skip by having all powers from the start, your inventory, upgrades, and collectables all carry over so that once you get the ability it's already maxed.

I wouldn't take it as anything more than they have a couple of actors that they like to consistently work with. They'll probably use it to do something fun though.
Just got goosebumps reading that.

Damn I'm hyped for both dlcs, but seeing that AWE image made me sooo happy!
