Support NeoGAF

Control has nonesense story but gameplay is very good - new abilities add a lot.

 

[adamsapple]

I mean i loved Quantum Break so this might be right up my alley.

QB is fantastic and highly underrated.

If you plan to play Control, pick up the Ultimate Edition, it includes the DLC as well and DLC was pretty good in this. Basically a small bridge to Alan Wake 2.

 

[hououinkyouma00]

Damn they are trying to get me to replay Control.

Why? Game was mid outside of atmosphere.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Got this with ps plus the beginning of the generation and never tried it I'm glad I waited

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

I love it, but after playing through it three times now this won't be enough to bring me back. Can't wait for Control 2 though.

 

[kevboard]

QB is fantastic and highly underrated.

it's the worst game they ever made and overrated.

extensive filler bullshit like fake puzzles and slow walking. the combat is decent especially towards the end, but the game is like 10% combat, 70% cutscenes and 20% filler bullshit.

 

[Throttle]

Still no update?

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Did they make protagonist cute girl?

 

[Arioco]

Still no update?

Remedy said "we are basically in the process of submitting for certification, so for Sony and Microsoft to get it through their systems so that we can release it."

Not sure what they mean by "basically", or how long it takes for SONY and MS to give a green light to a patch.

My first Switch cloud game, and still runs absolutely fantastic after 5 years (even has a ray tracing mode), and I beated the game + its DLCs, so I don't have any incentive to go back, but fantastic game and fantastic experience.

Out of curiosity, what hardware do switch cloud games run on? Is it just a remote switch?

No real idea, but it seems like it's a remote PC located in Taiwan

 

[Zimmy68]

The last update was supposed to add HDR support. Did that ever happen?

 

[Gaiff]

Only on PC I think.

 

[Just_one]

if its a free upgrade i might go back in and finish one of the dlc´s i never finish.

awesome game!

 

[Chuck Berry]

For christs sake am I really going to have to play through this a fourth time?

Regarding cloud/remote gaming :

- Xcloud = A-OK (good input latency, only the res was bad-ish).

- PS remote play/Cloud streaming: brilliant, great image quality, good input latency

- Switch cloud version games : feels like going 15 years back, shit's literally unplayable with bad iq, huge image and input delay, freezes etc etc.

The comparisons are using the same home network btw.

Don't know what's up with that but,yeah, not a good impression.

I honestly don't see the point you're trying to make while quoting me

You mentioned your "1st switch cloud game", i commented on that.

Am I not allowed ?

You can say whatever comes to your mind, I just didn't see the connection between what I said and your post comparing cloud gaming experiences you had

 

[schaft0620]

I wonder how they pay for this stuff? Must be busy work for the groups that finish games while their other stuff is in early production.

 

[mdkirby]

Eagerly awaiting control 2….which sadly feels like years away….the terribly misguided multiplayer game they made can't have helped.

 

[mckmas8808]

They added a 40 FPS mode to Alan Wake 2, but only on the pro, I hope they add a 40 FPS mode here across the board and also bring the Alan Wake 40fps patch to base consoles too .

Love Control, glad to see they're still supporting it after 5 years.

Did they ever fix the PSSR issues for the PS5 Pro?

 

[mckmas8808]

All AAA devs should be doing stuff like this. No way they don't have busy work for their devs in between projects. But they'd rather fire 10% of the staff instead.

 

[JPSLotus97T]

I don't believe they have yet.

PS cloud gaming and remote play do not have good input latency. it's literally 60ms+, that's awful

To each his own. I'm a huge Remedy fan and I love their story telling and games in general.

Fuck that lost boss tho
Ruined QB for me

 

[Zuzu]

Remedy's best game since Max Payne 2. Vastly better than Alan Wake 2 and better than Quantum Break and Alan Wake 1 (not to mention the garbage that was CrossfireX and FBC: Firebreak lol - their quality has really dropped off the last few years).

 

[YeulEmeralda]

This is fair! I feel the same with Obsidian.

 

[Karim]

Do you mean the raytracing noise? Nope.

 

[mckmas8808]

[Shubh_C63]

I am such a fan of this game. The setting, story and most importantly the visual design and gameplay is just top tier.

The destruction after the battle is something to behold.

 

[Kamina]

Will thy also patch the chin, or do we have to live with female gigachad?

 

[Donald mac Ronald]

Game was nonsense. It's good they are supporting it still. But feels like desperation for people to buy it.

 

[Bojji]

Do you mean the raytracing noise? Nope.

They improved it (timestamped):

 

[NeonGhost]

Real or fake ?

 

[adamsapple]

Real or fake ?

The news ? It's real, the source is a Remedy dev.

 

[Kataploom]

Amazing game, really loved it and now I'm currently playing AW2, Remedy narratives are in a league of their own

I was afraid AW2 wouldn't connect with me. It seemed to be hit or miss for people. I ended up loving it though and got the plat.

 

[Valonquar]

Will def do a replay when this update drops. Got it when it released on PS+ and enjoyed it a lot. Went in with low expectations since everyone slammed the main character design and found it didn't bother me at all and the story lore, tie in with Alan Wake and overall action gameplay was really fun. Alan Wake 2 felt like a step backwards in gameplay after Control.

 

[Karim]

They improved it (timestamped):

I doesn't mean they haven't improved it. But raytracing noise with PSSR is still quite present unfortunately which is not with FSR2 enabled. There is still a wobbling effect in the ground with PSSR.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

This is on sale for $3 on Steam right now, should I pick it up? Does it still crash on RTX 5000 series or did they ever get around to fixing that?

 

[FUBARx89]

Fuck knows what the story was all about. But I'll be damned if the combat wasn't great.

I'll happily replay this again when the patch drops.

 

[DeVeAn]

I played the vanilla version and Ultimate. Great atmosphere, and fun powers.

 

[mckmas8808]

They improved it (timestamped):

YAY!!!!! So happy to see this.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

YAY!!!!! So happy to see this.

Did you listen to Oliver? These changes are a complete nothing burger. They removed RT reflections and the game still renders at 864p internally ....

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Do you mean the raytracing noise? Nope.

It's not just RT noise that'sa problem on the Pro. Pssr is almost as bad with aliasing and artifacting as FSR2 was in this game. Esp indoors any location and NYC. Ironically its the outdoor, foliage heavy areas that are a lot better with PSSR in this game.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Remedy's best game since Max Payne 2. Vastly better than Alan Wake 2 and better than Quantum Break and Alan Wake 1 (not to mention the garbage that was CrossfireX and FBC: Firebreak lol - their quality has really dropped off the last few years).

Alan wake 2 was great outside of a few things that added bloat and those annoying jump scares
