Control Ultimate Edition PS5 won't be able to use your PS4 save data as the game is utilising a much newer version of the Northlight Engine.
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.
What does "unlocking some previously released content" actually mean though? I would imagine it should be "previously unreleased content". Bit odd.
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.
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
Agree it was very boring game. Could not get into it. Remember me the game I played on PS3 is still better than this.
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 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.
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.
...because Epic chose to restrict its PC release to the Epic store and completely restrict it's physical release until later this year.
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.
Dang, nice ... Alan Wake II is an amazing game
Can't wait for Control 2 and Max Payne Remakes
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.
Coz N4G logic.
You cant praise a game if its got no physical release, not releasing on PS etc
Sifu, Control, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and others, despite being third-party games, offer best-in-class haptic feedback on the PS5.
I think the GTA V PS5 upgrade has some impressive haptic feedback and other utilization of the dual sense features.
Like, rain hitting you has a distinct feel, parts of the road do as well, fun fire feels crunchy and different depending on the gun (SMG vs Shotgun, for ex.), but I always get a kick out of the phone conversations coming out of the controller and if you have the lights off in the room and the fuzz is chasing you the controller does a good job of doing the red and blue lights that kind of light up the room and just add to the fun.
Borderlands 3 makes very good use of the triggers. Each gun feels unique.
I loved the quickly loathed playing it on PS4. The checkpoints, loading screens, and map are all just so damn frustrating to deal with. If this can at least get loading screens comparable to other PS5 titles, i think i'll fall back in love with this game. Here's hoping 🤞
That’s too bad. Not going through it again any time soon.
After all the drama about next gen upgrades, this game is available for free on PS Plus this month?!?
I'm here for it since I never bought it, but it seems like a controversy that could have been avoided 🙄
Oh wow, is it that big of a difference?
I'm waiting until March to get the physical PS5 version of this game. Will be my first time playing it
