Yesterday Remedy unexpectedly dropped their name game called "Control" and it's the game that was teased by remedy long time ago under the project name of "P7"
I was watching the presentation with some of my friends online and when the trailer came up every one of us immediately said this is the sequel or spin-off to quantum break because there is no way you cannot notice the similar difference between these two.
Control 2 will shift to an action RPG, Remedy confirms. The first game is set to receive a free update in early 2025, unlocking previously released content.
I only played about an hour of Control when I added it to my library back when it was one of the PS+ ‘free’ games. I’ll start it over again after the early 2025 update is dropped. I keep hearing that it’s a good game.
These days "RPG" translates to constantly grinding for experience points, wasting time upgrading gear, and repeatedly collecting resources off the ground.
Please don't be an Ubishit style filler game.
So in other words it's an action game needlessly fluffed out with RPG mechanics and a pointless leveling system. I really enjoy RPGs when they're actually RPGs but modern action games really tire me out when they shoehorn in mechanics they don't need. All this does is make a 20 hour game into a 40 hour game because missions become locked behind level requirements, and enemies become damage sponges. It's not fun, it's tedious.
Remedy is getting a €15 million loan from Tencent. The latter company will be able to convert it into around 6% shares of the game studio.
Remedy will self-publish Control 2 as part of a new "strategic cooperation agreement" with Annapurna. A press release accompanying the announcement says Annapurna will provide half of Control 2's development budget, and in return gains the rights to adapt Control and Alan Wake for film and television.
Dang, nice ... Alan Wake II is an amazing game
Can't wait for Control 2 and Max Payne Remakes
Nope
I got a very QB vibe from the trailer. Either way I'm going to buy it!
I liked QB as far as the abilities. The pacing was really off though as far as the storytelling. It was an interesting experiment but hopefully they learned their lesson and will do it better for Control. I am excited. Remedy is still one of the best studios out there.
No, Remedy doesn't own Quantum Break. Control could be considered a spiritual successor to Quantum Break, however the game bares similarities to Remedy's other stylized shooters.
About 10 seconds into the trailer I started thinking about QB...so either I am psychic or they are very similar.
