Just saw this. Looks like it will be set in NYC. outdoor Locations and inverted skyscrapers.

Ok I guess. I don't think it looks too interesting to be honest, Dr. Strange did all that already.

Looking at poor sales of their games, Remedy really need to change something - dropping EGS exclusivity would be a great first step.

I mean, the first Control had a $30 Million budget and sold 4 Million units, I thing that's considered successful.
Alan Wake 2 on the other hand, well, more than twice the budget and half the sales so yeah, the blame could be on Epic but still that's not good.

I like Control. I'm glad they're moving on from the game taking place inside the World Tree.

Control is unbelievably dull

Remedy just continues to disappoint

Yeah they did much better with Control. Alan Wake 2 was always weak sales ip, games are good but people just don't care.

Time for something new I guess?

Control starts dull but after unlocking some powers it becomes very fun, I really liked this game in the end. Only big complaint from me is that everything looks the same and story is complete nonsense.

 

[Dacvak]

I really enjoyed Control, so I’m definitely gonna check out the sequel. This is a pretty cool little teaser.

 

[PandaOk]

I felt like control never remotely lived up to the premise and mining of SCP fiction. It was just so conservative. Granted it had a small budget but they got too bogged down in the organizational framing as opposed to the conceptual possibilities.

Control 2 isn't published by Epic but it's co-funded by Remedy and Annapurna so EGS exclusivity is less likely. Alan Wake Remastered and Alan Wake II aren't temporary exclusives, Epic funded their development from day 1 and has publishing rights to these two games

I just hope that they stay true to the first game's gameplay.

I was not a fan of the gameplay change from Alan Wake 1 to 2. 2 plays so much worse and feels so unresponsive compared to the first game. generally Alan Wake 2 in terms of game feel/responsiveness is worse than any other Remedy title.

so I really hope Control won't have the same fate.
