Remedy’s New Game “Control” is a secret sequel to Quantum Break?

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.

I got a very QB vibe from the trailer. Either way I'm going to buy it!

Lon3wolf2564d ago

Indeed, some of the effects they used in the video were very QB. Will definitely keep an eye on this.

maybelovehate2565d ago

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.

I liked qb to for me it was no Alan wake which I still think is one of the best story telling games we have seen and really want a 2nd one but it will be interesting to see how this game plays out and also see how well it sells on a Sony consoles to.

"I liked qb too. For me it was no Alan wake, which I still think is one of the best story telling games we have seen and really deserves a 2nd one, but it will be interesting to see how this game plays out how well it sells on a Sony consoles."

Now people can read.

Experiment all you want, As long as you make a game not a Control Telenovela...

Sciurus_vulgaris2565d ago

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.

NeoGamer2322564d ago

It was obvious pretty much from the start that it is based on the Quantum Break engine.

Graphics style the same, gameplay mechanics similar, etc.

This is not a bad thing. I loved Quantum Break and will buy Control as well. But it is very much the same game in a lot of ways.

mkis0072564d ago

About 10 seconds into the trailer I started thinking about QB...so either I am psychic or they are very similar.

eh?
They better not mess much with the Max Payne Remake(s)

Yui_Suzumiya212d ago

Yeah but this was announced before the Max Payne Remake after all

LucasRuinedChildhood212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

What does "unlocking some previously released content" actually mean though? I would imagine it should be "previously unreleased content". Bit odd.

DaReapa211d ago

Right. Especially since the Ultimate Edition supposedly contained everything.

raWfodog212d ago

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.

jznrpg212d ago

You can make that statement for any game. It’s called gameplay loop. Not everyone is going to enjoy the same loops but all games are repetitive by nature

RedDevils211d ago

Agree it was very boring game. Could not get into it. Remember me the game I played on PS3 is still better than this.

Chocoburger212d ago

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.

Yui_Suzumiya212d ago

Hopefully it'll be more like Mass Effect

Amplitude212d ago (Edited 212d ago )

Remedy doesn't really make mistakes. It'll be good, I'm sure.

Inverno212d ago

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 leaving Epic in the dark place to self-publish Control 2

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.

TheNamelessOne294d ago

Devs backing EPIC didn't last long. I just can't understand why ... /s

porkChop294d ago (Edited 294d ago )

This isn't about the store. Epic published the game on all platforms. They want to self publish because they couldn't recoup Alan Wake 2's budget.

Killer2020UK294d ago

...because Epic chose to restrict its PC release to the Epic store and completely restrict it's physical release until later this year.

Vits294d ago

It’s connected, though. They couldn’t recoup the costs because Epic restricted the places and formats where the game could be released, literally removing the biggest PC distribution channels from the equation. And they also sold the game cheaper than a traditional full release, solely to support their statements at the launch of the Epic Games Store that PC games would be cheaper if it weren’t for Steam.

RaidenBlack294d ago

Dang, nice ... Alan Wake II is an amazing game
Can't wait for Control 2 and Max Payne Remakes

DustMan294d ago

Not sure why your getting down voted because you found Alan Wake 2 amazing. I'm in the same boat as you. Can't wait for Control 2 & the Max Payne remakes. Max Payne 1 & 2 were some of my favorite pc games from my early teens lol.

RaidenBlack293d ago

Coz N4G logic.
You cant praise a game if its got no physical release, not releasing on PS etc

isarai294d ago

Maybe this time we'll actually get a day 1 physical release

JEECE294d ago

And hopefully Steam/GOG options on PC.
