Remedy's Control has gone gold
- Thread starter modiz
- Start date
Don't know yet if I'll get it at launch, but I'm still looking forward to it. I enjoyed Quantum Break for what it was so I'm excited for this one too.
You'd have to take out the difficulty options to make that work. You can get through the game as a cover shooter playing it on easy but when you crank it up, you have to use all of the powers. Enemy design did force you to use those powers if you chose to play it on a higher difficulty.
The last boss, which was wildly panned, required that you use all of your skills and carefully time you time bubble power to progress. Those who played it on easy never really had to use the bubble power and therefore never knew how powerful it was.
I feel like the same could happen here.
I just got done recently with 100%-ing the achievements in Quantum Break, such a fun game. They really put so much work into the details and touches. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the PS4 or XB1X version yet. It would be strange playing a newer Remedy game on a PS console. I'd want to get the better-looking version anyway.
Disagree, played on the highest difficulty and still think the enemies can all be defeated the same way.
Not as a cover shooter though, you're right about that, but I didn't even try.
That being said, they did take out the difficulty options from Control. :D
I would deeply doubt that, since how many people work on Hellblade, like 14? This is 100 people for 3 years, so I am not so sure about that budget, I could be wrong tho....obviously.
Really excited for this game, but since it's gone gold so early...what are the chances of there still being a day 1 patch?
Extremely high, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't one. They're not just gonna chill out until the game comes out. Though it would be cool if they did. :P
Great news.
I have a feeling this won't appeal to those who didn't like Quantum Break. Thankfully that's not me.

Interested but skeptical. QB was solid but didnt grab me like Max or Alan and this seems more of the same imo.
Indie teams scope is much smaller and surely
more focused than this. this is essentially for all purposes a larger than normal indie title developed by 100 people
I agree. It's very much Quantum Break 2 in spirit. The gameplay alone sells that. Which is great for me since Quantum Break is my GOTG. The only suspect thing is the marketing.
What's unfocused about the title? Why is 100 people for a game that looks like this a bad thing? 🤔
Personally I passed on Quantum Break and Control is looking like Remedy's best since MP2.
The combination of Metroid Vania level inspiration, expanded powers, and the developers own admission of moving away from QB's bloated narrative and dead linear design are all notable changes.
Congrats to the team. Great premise, great previews. IGN one in particular was glowing. Control looks like Remedy's best and most interesting game in years.
What looks bland about it and why does team size have anything to do with that? Its premise is unique, its gameplay looks wild, varied challenging and fun. Designed to be one of the most focused titles.

Seems solid, more gameplay than cutscenes. I guess that all the money spent on making Quantum Break super cinematic doesn't translate to more sales on a sustainable ratio.

That is a crazy feet. Can't wait to play it on my shiny new PS5.
(Confirm next gen patch please)

The budgets of Hellblade and Control are markedly different as are the team sizes.
I play a lot of shooters and sure, I'm biased, but the feel of the game and combat is what we've gotten a lot of positive feedback on from pretty much everyone who has played. I've watched a lot of people play this game and mostly they say how tight the gunplay is. Lets see.
This doesn't seem right.
You're also forgetting that Remedy are bigger than NT.
Its pretty far from early. Getting the discs printed and everything that is tied into that, takes time. 4 weeks is not a lot.
Yeah, there will be a day 1 patch.
Appreciate the response, knew it took some time to ship out and print the discs and box arts, but didn't know it needed a month or more to do so.
