I loved Control, it had such a great setting and amazing world building that was constantly reinforced in your surroundings.
The Oldest House was an amazing place. I hope they can match it with the new area, a city just isn’t the same.
<I AM READY/EXCITED/IMPATIENT>
I’m sure it will be a great game, but I still wish we could play Jessie with similar mechanics to the 1st, I just loved the gameplay. But I trust Remedy, they have always delivered, so looking forward to this one
I saw floating in the trailer. I sure liked feeling like a witch from The Craft. But more than that I liked throwing things. Sure hope that’s back.
As someone who didn’t like Max Payne as much as other others, I’m loving this new era of Remedy.
That being said, I’m waiting for them to integrate it into the AlanWakeControlQuantiumBreakiverse (or whatever we’re calling it) somehow through the remakes.
They can’t touch Quantum break. Microsoft owns the rights I believe
That’s true, but they still make a LOT of indirect references to it.
Is that guy supposed to be Dylan?
Yes, he’s the player character this round instead of Jesse.
I think you forgot the link to the video. That’s only the thumbnail.
Bruuuuuhhh I’m so stoked
Not an Epic exclusive on PC, yay! I’m sad that the masterpiece Alan Wake 2 was fucked over so much by not releasing on Steam, glad they aren’t repeating that
Epic was actually the publisher (So no Steam) and gave Remedy free hands in development and funding. It took some time but the game is now making profit. Epic takes 50%.
Yeah, which means it will probably never be released on Steam, which is even worse than the timed Epic exclusives where they pay to keep games out of other store fronts for a year or whatever. Even Microsoft and Sony are rarely doing full exclusive releases like this anymore.
You’d think a developer as well known as Remedy would be able to find funding from a less restrictive publisher. Fucking Epic
I’m still waiting for Half Life 2 on gog.
It is what it is.
At least there’s a chance they’ll just give it away for free.
By only releasing in epic, they were able to make it cheaper. It is what it is.
I’ll gladly pay more to not have to deal with Epic’s endless fucking captchas.
I don’t think I entirely understood what the hell was going on in Control but I really enjoyed playing it. The way they integrated Alan Wake into the story was brilliant.
Hopefully, this will be just as much fun to play and maybe even understand… 🤣
A lot of the story only kind of makes sense because it’s deliberately about things that are beyond human understanding. You get the story mostly through the eyes of humans who understand most (but not all) of the “what is happening” but almost none of the “how” or “why”.
It’s kind of messy if you’re not already into the scp / weird fiction vibe, but I’d totally suggest looking into the lore of the series. It’s very good.
Yeah, I already was a fan of Fringe years ago and Stranger Things now, but reading Some SCP stories is what got me into this game. With those as background knowledge the story isn’t really that complicated.
And watch The Lost Room, a 3 episode mini series that came out in 2006 and must be the inspiration for Control.
Fuck yes, this show is amazing! Literally what got me into this genre. If anyone wanted to watch it and can’t find or buy it, hit me up. I will share it digitally.
I don’t think there’s any sense to be made of it, really. But somehow still really well written and produced.
More control? Sweet. Preferred it to AW2. Very stylish.
I don’t get hyped for games anymore. I’m too old, I’ve seen too much and been disappointed too often. But did you just fucking seen that sheeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
At this point Remedy has my trust with these games.
At least when it comes to the single player games, I’m sure Firebreak was still cool but I didn’t really want to play that one since it was multiplayer focused.
Their single player story stuff though? I’m here for it always now. So long as Sam Lake is involved at least!
That hammer looks like it hits like a truck and I’m here for it
