Control - supernatural third person action-adventure from Remedy

I've heard you like trannies

If Remedy had done another linear popamole Max Payne/Quantum Break, I think they'd shot themselves into irrelevancy. The good world building of The House saved their reputation.

You can't have good looking wahmen in 2019, because average people might get offended.

 

[DalekFlay]

You're getting used to it after a minute. But debating personal taste is useless.

I get that some people like the cleaner look of having no effects like that, but I'm definitely not one of them. Especially when the game was as designed around them as this one is. I flirted with turning off global reflections because they're so grainy, but it really made the game look weird and not correct. Areas I was supposed to see were pitch black, and the mystical realm or whatever they call it had flat black platforms instead of glowing marble ones. But if you like it I'm happy for you, everyone's different.

Would pirate even if it is boring shit if chick was at least good looking but like this...best DRM was making her tranny.

edit: this is console crap only, oh well so much for that LOL

 

[sullynathan]

It's on pc

It's on pc

not until next year

 

[sullynathan]

I don't get it. I'm playing it on my PC right now.

 

[unfairlight]

He means that it's Epic Games Store only. Honestly I'd just pirate, play it now and buy it on sale on Steam when it comes out. I don't buy full price games anyway.

I'm being facetious because I got it from fitgirl day one.

 

[Carls Barkley]

The protagonist was inspired by figures such as CIA director Allen Dulles and FBI director Edgar Hoover, who both had strong jawlines.

It's not a very feminine quality, but it makes sense given her status as FBC director.

 

[DalekFlay]

Patch is out. Nice performance bump on high settings for me, getting over 60fps pretty much all the time now at 1440p with a 2070. Was getting 50-55 in some areas before. Also the motion blur off option seems to remove more of it than the hex edit did, so that's cool. Though the game still has a somewhat blurry look anyway, I think because of the lighting effects.

Control Community Blog - What's Next?
Free DLC content includes Photo Mode and a challenging new game mode

Hi everyone! Today, I want to hand over to our friends at Remedy, who have some exciting Control updates to share with our community…

Over to you, Thomas and Mikael…

Control – What’s Next?

Now that Control has launched and we’ve been able to get a few updates out of the way, it’s time to take a look at what’s coming next. We will continue to build on the world of Control, creating additional game content all the way through 2020. We already have a small team in place at Remedy that’s busy working on post-launch content.

Here’s a brief overview of what’s coming to Control…

First up, while some crafty PC players “unlocked” their own versions of this already, we are working on a much-desired Photo Mode, which will enable you to take some awesome snapshots of Jesse in the Oldest House. Make sure you unlock all of her costumes to flex by the time the Photo Mode arrives this fall. We’ll have more information on this soon.

New Game Mode
In December, we will release a new game mode for Control that we are currently calling Expeditions. This will be a challenging new end-game mode in which Jesse must help Security Chief Arish explore the mysterious Formation and its strange surroundings. Here you will face the some the greatest challenges that the Oldest House can throw at you. You will need the best gear and abilities to survive. Expeditions is free for all players.

Expansions
Moving ahead to 2020, there will be two full, paid expansions that our team is hard at work creating: The Foundation and AWE. Both of these will offer new story missions, enemies, and game mechanics, and take place in new locations within the Oldest House.

The Foundation will delve into the history of the Oldest House. At the request of the ever-mysterious Board, Jesse must explore what lies beneath the Bureau as she returns order to the Foundation and the Oldest House itself. Expect things to get weird.

The second expansion, AWE, will take Jesse into a new part of the Oldest House, the Investigations Sector, where the Bureau closely examines Altered World Events.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone from press to fans and the entire community for your support and feedback. The amazing response to Control means the world for us. Keep it coming!

Alan Wake?

 

[DalekFlay]

The game already references Alan Wake, they take place in the same universe. So makes sense. I doubt I go back to the game in 2020 though, maybe further down the line in a replay.

 

[Tehdagah]

It's on pc

not until next year

It's on PC, but to play it you need to go to the desktop and click on a free .exe that isn't Steam.

I don't think that Control will do something to bring them out of irrelevancy. Quantum Break is no worse than Alan Wake or Control, and all of their games are absolutely brilliant, the best the genre can offer. The only reason they are kinda irrelevant is shit popamole tastes of majority of gamers.

 

[Alienman]

Interesting, calling them expansions.

 

[DalekFlay]

Interesting, calling them expansions.

"Downloadable content" is a retarded term for such things in 2019, I hope expansion makes a return.

 

[Alienman]

Me too, but it would actually have to be expansions in that case.

 

[Bad Sector]

Nice performance bump on high settings for me, getting over 60fps pretty much all the time now at 1440p with a 2070.

Is this with the RTX stuff enabled?

 

[DalekFlay]

Is this with the RTX stuff enabled?

Fuck no, even a 2080ti can't run the game at 1080p with RTX on without frame drops below 60. You pretty much have to enable DLSS and upscale from a low res to use RTX. Not worth it IMO.

 

[sullynathan]

 

[DalekFlay]

I will admit DLSS works better here than it ever did before, but it still looks like total garbage compared to native resolution.

 

[Steezus]

Man, this game almost flew under my radar. I remember seeing a trailer for it during E3 or Gamescom and didn't think much of it since Quantum Break was forgettable. I pretty much only picked it up to flex my new hardware for the first time and I'm glad I did. Sleeper hit of the year for me. The presentation and atmosphere is insane. Even little things like the Dark Souls'esque area name pop-up hit just right.

Is this with the RTX stuff enabled?

I get low 30s with everything on max, including RTX with my 2080 at 1440p. Medium RTX bounces me up to high 40s to mid 50s and the visual difference is barely noticeable. That's still pre patch mind you. Didn't even know they released a new patch and haven't played since I finished the game a few days ago.

 

[Multidirectional]

I will admit DLSS works better here than it ever did before, but it still looks like total garbage compared to native resolution.

That garbage seems only useful for silly people who bought 4K screens and then realized "oh shit I cannot afford to buy a new top tier GPU every year to support this!". So now they'll have to render their games at lower than native resolution.
