I remember when Phil Spencer last year said it was coming.. I mean he wasn't wrong.. I guess

But it's still pretty funny to see how he spoke too soon and it came to PS Now right after lol. I wasn't a fan of this game either way
 
That's cool!

I almost bought it on PS4, but the bad performance scared me.



I hope that the Series S can play it without frame drops and other issues.
 
Only the ultimate edition gets the next gen upgrade so I hope it's that but most likely not. I've been meaning to buy it as I wanna play the DLC but rather wait for the next gen patch.
 
That would be cool- been holding off on playing it until it was good and cheap on PC after seeing what the console performance was like

Damn. You guys do everything in your power to make this about Xbox vs PS. Honestly, I'm kind of impressed.
 
I bought it a few weeks ago on PC. It's ok? I didn't love it like many people seem to. It's a solidly average game imo. Wanted to love it but it wasn't for me. Combat was kind of fun but the world mystery and story exposition didn't grab me.

Some really cool powers, though.
 
Not a fan. Every minute you are expected to read a one pager on scifi stuff. It's too long and messes with the game. Sort of like Doom Eternal. Dont read that shit, just play doom-ass Doom. I dont know how to stop. Why can't it be in the game?

I actually thought Jedi Fallen Order text was well done and didn't detract until 2/3 of the way through the game. I'm not sure why that one gets away with it.

Im playing control on ps5 atm. Meant to buy it ages ago. I wanted to wait until they updated it for next gen, but its really hard not to continue playing it. Deffo recommend it.
 
ur wrong son : D
NO, U!
But seriously Control is more than a year on market and subtitles/audio in cutscenes is not fixed. That problem is present in both PC and XBox version. There are also problems with not loading textures (including map) and occasional black screen on start of game. I had more problem with Control than with Valhalla in 1/5th of time. It's also sometimes looks super ugly with grainy and blotchy shadows and lighting.
There is also lots of UI problems. Terrible quick travel navigation, pause separated from inventory (90% of times I wanted to go to inventory or mission menu ended with me pausing game instead of that), mission menu is also really bad. Whoever had idea to put missions requirements into main list should not be allowed to make any UI ever again.
And with all that problems it's still second best shooter of last year (with story/narration miles ahead of other one).

Just like HZD, the GoG version of Control seems to have fixed those texture issues.
 
SO.
Recently finished Control on PS4.
Highly recommend this one, people, don't let it slip by as just another freebie.
 
Not loading textures are really minor problem in comparison to lack of audio AND subtitles in cut scenes in game so narrative heavy. And that problem exists on both PC and XBox

I suffered the blurry textures with it from the beginning - and to me it became over time a major factor in stopping playing it. Replaying the GoG version feels better, but the texture issue is a Northlight problem than a fault with the game.
 
I just paid $27 for the ultimate edition........arg if the include it.......
This is the most frustrating thing about streaming, after talking about how you need to rebuy the game on next gen, they suddenly add it to gamepass.
 
The same here... but I am considering to ask for a refund. It does not make sense to just pay a lot more if it is available on GamePass.

If it's the vanilla game then you wont be eliagable for the next gen patch and I don't want to take that risk. It was only 20 anyway so I won't bother.
 
"Fans won't stop asking about" -- Well, maybe because someone on your team said it was coming to GamePass, last year.
Now we know why 505 Games isn't keen on giving the next upgrades away for free when all the Gamepass mouth breathers will just enjoy them at no cost.

For people curious about possible technical issues on the SX, I can tell you that it works absolutely fine and I've seen none of the issues described.

You can see it's not optimized for SX as it's clearly running up scaled and there's this shimmering effect (you know what I mean) that makes it look like it's running on a One S.

But it doesn't matter at all as the game is great and full of mind blowing TECHNOLOGY, the story is great so far and it's fun to play (a bit repetitive maybe).
 
Already played through it on PC.

The game definitely has great core gameplay, but once you're about a third through you've basically seen everything it has to offer and you're only really playing for the story. Unfortunately, there really isn't a good payoff for the story and it just kind of....ends without much fanfare.
 
Started this last night, and the hype for this game is real. The first 30 minutes I was able to squeeze in was really cool. I like the explanation video with the scientist and the atmosphere in this game is top tier. This game is already much better than Remedy's previous game. Hopefully the game continues to hit its stride.
