Support NeoGAF

[Arioco]

According to several Remedy employees Control next update for consoles will include the promised HDR support that is already available on PC, but also 120 Hz, VRR, unlocked frame rate in both performance and RT mode and PS5 Pro support, which is a bit surprising for a 5 year-old game. I'm glad to see Remedy keeps supporting their game.


The patch should be out at any moment now. I'm fact they say it'll be released "in two weeks"... exactly two weeks ago.

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.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I finished the campaign a while ago, but I still need to play the 2 DLCs. I might as well wait for them to drop this patch before diving back in.

 

[lh032]

remedy is awesome.

There are alot of games out there need an actual ps5 ver

Neither of them mentioned a 40 fps mode, unfortunately. But they did mention unlocked frame rate for both modes so if you have an VRR/120Hz compatible display RT mode should be well above 40 fps most of the time, especially on Series X and probably PS5 Pro. I'm curious to see what they mean by "PS5 Pro support", since it could be anything really. Higher resolution, better performance, PSSR, new RT effects used on PC but not present on other consoles... We'll have to wait a little longer.

 

[Bojji]

Control RT should run quite fine on PS5 Pro, let's hope it will keep 60FPS.

 

[Embearded]

For the studios that use the same engine for their new games, it makes sense to work on such updates on their old games.

They gain know how, community points for the free support and useful feedback for their implementation. Then, when the time comes for the new title to release it can have all the goodies from the beginning.

 

[Power Pro]

Of course they announced this after it's no longer $3.99 on PSN...i knew i should've bought it, but i already had beaten it

edit: also, ewww i fucking hate that anyone in development openly posts on that shit site.

 

[analog_future]

Remedy is the shit. Top 5 studio in the industry

 

[Throttle]

I'll see if I 100% it now

 

[emivita]

So glad I've waited, now SH2 patch please.

 

[Imtjnotu]

Remedy is god tier

 

[Mr Hyde]

They need to put Control on Switch 2. One of the best games of last gen. A 40 fps mode would be sublime.

 

[Perrott]

Nice, and I hope that they bring support for the PSSR successor across both Control UE and Alan Wake II once it comes out sometime next year, since the current iteration has proven problematic on Alan Wake.

A PS5 Pro version of Alan Wake Remastered would also be nice to see.

 

[kevboard]

so unlocked quality mode? took em long enough. the Series X holds close to 50fps in the RT mode going by the photo mode (which is unlocked).

the Xbox version should have had an unlocked mode from the start. it already has a built in 120hz mode

 

[Gonzito]

Why is that developer writing in that shitty website. Idiot

 

[GateofD]

what kind of style do you call the way Control plays. Like yea its a shooting thing, but just the exploration style.

Metroidvania-lite? maybe?

it has metroidvania elements, as you get new abilities that let you go to new places. but does it very very sparsely, and there's no real focus on it.

 

[adamsapple]

Control is basically a 3D metroidvania.

 

[Sticks]

No Sam Lake skin?

 

[Markio128]

I'd be up for another play-through on the Pro. Great game.

 

[TGO]

Let's hope is a good PS5 Pro patch and doesn't make it look worse.

 

[near]

Incredibly underrated game. I played this on PS4 a couple years back. I would gladly play through it again with a Pro update.

 

[Negotiator101]

Just out of curiosity which game has the best HDR and 120fps mode?

 

[amigastar]

Is the game scary? I'm not the biggest fan of scary games.

I was thinking this sounds like it's being groomed for a Switch 2 release.

 

[Gaiff]

Has some spooky stuff, but I wouldn't describe it as scary.

 

[Minari]

Their gaas game must have been a bust

 

[Pakoe]

Nvm.

 

[Skifi28]

Whens it coming to steam, they can use the money

It's been there for a few years now.

 

[gpn]

Control is Remedy's best game, so it makes sense to give it periodic boosts for attention until the sequel comes out. Looking forward to see what they do for PS5 Pro.

 

[scydrex]

Would play it again for PS5 Pro. Hopefully this is true.

 

[Pakoe]

It's been there for a few years now.

Wait, im dumb. Thought this was about Alan Wake 2 for some reason...

 

[realcool]

I was never interested in it, but I did put it in my PS+ library when it became a "free" monthly game. If this takes advantage of the PS5 Pro, I might give it a look.

 

[TheUnicornGuy]

Might jump back on it, I got stuck getting killed time and time again by a giant space worm and ended up dropping it.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

Thank you Konami

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

Or maybe they have to use a similar graphic setting of the perfomance mode to reach steady 40 fps on base console so it's practically pointless? I won't exclude it.

 

[mayham2199]

Damn they are trying to get me to replay Control.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Best remedy game about to get better. Will replay for sure.

You're right, I remember when Control first came out, DF ran some tests with the photo mode in the "Graphics" settings which, for some reason, unlocks the frame rate.

If this is an indication, both consoles should be above 40, but a toggle for 40 would be appreciated so it locks.

Anything above 40 would be under VRR on the SX version so it's acceptable, I guess.

 

[Hudo]

I am highly interested in Control 2 (And the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake they are doing for R*).

 

[Zathalus]

Nice, would be a pretty good indicator to see how the RT uplift with the PS5 Pro is over the regular PS5 since FPS will be unlocked and no DRS to complicate things.

 

[kevboard]

and this right here is why the Xbox version should have had an unlocked graphics mode from the start.

it already has 120hz support, so would have been absolute perfect

 

[omegasc]

it could be, but they already mentioned problems with old stuff/tools and new SDK, so I'm not sure. Interesting nonetheless

 

[RagnarokIV]

crap game, pants studio

Crap post.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Control was so mid. Sad what Remedy has become.

 

[Filben]

DualSense features in PC version?

Is the game scary? I'm not the biggest fan of scary games.

There are maybe one or two areas with a slightly scary vibe. But overall I wouldn't call it a scary name.

 

[adamsapple]

Is the game scary? I'm not the biggest fan of scary games.

It's not scary. It's like a metroidvania, there's some areas with minor horror themes but your character is never presented like a survival horror protagonist, you're always the most powerful thing in any area.

There's a fantastic sense of mystery and intrigue in the game. That's what I loved about it.

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