Sucks it's not a midnight release on the east coast.
Enjoying the sun? Perfect breeze coming through here on the south coast.It's bank holiday here in the UK and I'm typing this message in my pyjamas. I will try and get an answer from you tomorrow morning when I communicate this to the Brand manager at 505 Games. Game should unlock on the 27th of August. Unlock time should be based upon your region if I'm not mistaken.
Thomas Puha can maybe assist further on this.
I think so it's one of the most advertised RTX games from NvidiaWill RTX graphics options be supported at the release date on PC, btw?
With Astral Chain coming out so soon, I think this solidifies my decision to wait a bit on Control. Hopefully patches clear this up.
My copy arrived Saturday and I've been playing through. I don't know how far through I am, but I just got. It's really fun. And I love the style of the game, its setting and its various mysteries are super cool.level 5 clearance and am heading to Black Rock Quarry
Performance on base PS4 has been sketchy at times, though. Freezing for 5-10 seconds after every main story mission completes, and massive hits to framerate when in the middle of explosive fights. Sometimes the map doesn't want to load itself either, so you can only see text and not the rooms. Outside of those it's been fine.
No, you must be confused because there are two embargos. The first one is up in 1h30m and it's the general review embargo. There's another embargo that lasts until the 30th asking us not to reveal details of the ending.
Review embargo ends today too ? When will reviews be released today?
Oh, right. Must have missed that bit.That's exactly what i mean. Someone was asking about that extentes/second embargo.
Nice, thanks, yeah I hope it will be added to the OT. so Control reviews and Astral Chain land in 1 hour.Review embargo lifts in one hour from now. Not sure why that information isn't in the OP.
I wonder if the performance issues can be fixed with a day one patch?
I am waiting on the reviews before getting the digital deluxe version (PS4).
They are a thing on every console(during some combat scenarios). The Game makes heavy use of destructible elements, physics, volumetric lighting, alpha effects....i dont think there is another Game that pushes all of this so heavily (and in combination).
There will be a DLC expansion? Never read about that, where was that mentioned?This is on track to be my GOTY.
Do we know anything about the expansions? When to expect them? I didn't even know there was going to be DLC until about a week ago.
Anyone playing on PS4 Pro? Are the framerate drops a thing on Pro as well?
Nothing, except for the first expansion releasing earlier (whenever that is) on PS4, as long as you've bought the most expensive Deluxe Edition. The time difference between that launch and the others is also unknown, could be a week or a month.This is on track to be my GOTY.

Yes, the digital deluxe includes the season pass. First expansion will be released on PS4 first.There will be a DLC expansion? Never read about that, where was that mentioned?
would be pretty weird to do reviews in the OT. not sure why someone hasn't made one yetWe talking reviews here or is someone doing a separate thread?
Nice, did not knew that. So there are two expansion packs planned, both are labeled as post game launch, I wonder when that is.Yes, the digital deluxe includes the season pass. First expansion will be released on PS4 first.
See:
Ah yes, the only games that score highly are ones that conform to this imaginary checklist lmao
What a shoddy excuse
I don't know if Control will review well or not, but there's definitely a pattern of games that are a bit different reviewing more poorly than many people believe they deserve to be, especially if they don't have much hype going in. Control is more of a metroidvania by all accounts, slow paced, weird, and difficult -- and this isn't the kind of thing we see a ton of in the AAA space
So I did not reallt followed this game since it was announced, but now I see that it seems to be some kind of trippy unsettling scary stuff and see a lot of mentions of SCP so my interest was immediately raised, probably gonna pick this up if it's good. I can't find any reviews, is the embargo not lifted yet? Are there some returns already about the game? If this really a trippy stuff a la SCP and the game is good I can see myself buying it today and play at midnight :)
I have had the game preordered for a while but damn this is gonna make the wait harderI also forgot to mention the game takes inspiration from The House of Leaves.
Not sure if you've seen it or not but the launch trailer is incredibly effective imo. Also the reviews should be up in just under 30m.So I did not reallt followed this game since it was announced, but now I see that it seems to be some kind of trippy unsettling scary stuff and see a lot of mentions of SCP so my interest was immediately raised, probably gonna pick this up if it's good.

Sweet, all the rest of the afternoon for me to read up and decide :)Yeah, pretty much. There's plenty of older games that were critically panned at the time of release only to be recognized later on.
Embargo's up in 30 minutes!

No, it's 24 minutes from now. I'm 100% sureMy understanding was that the embargo wasn't for another hour and 25 mins but I guess we'll see...
