We haven't heard much about it since, except that work is continuing, but the new financial report (via RPS) sheds a bit more light on what players can look forward to.

After playing through Alan Wake 2 I still think The Hiss is/are a more dangerous entity than the Dark Presence.

Oh yeah, because when I think of “Control”, the first thing that comes to mind are four soldiers leaning stoically against a wall, ready to take on co-op waves of enemies.
I’ll bet $20 this is (or at least started) as a live service game.

After playing through Alan Wake 2, I think Remedy slaps and can’t wait for more Alan Wake, Control, and the remakes of Max Payne.

Condor was announced in 2021 as a four-player PvE game........
Appealing to their core audience I see.
Let's see how many more people they can alienate.

You're getting Control 2 as well, so what are you exactly complaining about? If anything, it's good that they're branching out because Control and Alan Wake 2 (which still hasn't recouped its development costs) aren't successful enough to keep an independent AAA studio like Remedy running in the mid to long term.Appealing to their core audience I see.

It's actually in your best interest as a fan of Remedy to see them succeed outside their niche, so that the singleplayer games would be able to enjoy of better budgets and be higher quality products as a result of that.

Imo that key art feels like something very much in the same vein as Control. They look like members of a unit taking a smoke break.Oh yeah, because when I think of “Control”, the first thing that comes to mind are four soldiers leaning stoically against a wall, ready to take on co-op waves of enemies.

It gives me a similar impression that I got from Control's world-building in how it made dealing with the supernatural seem like an actual occupation.

People really hated Saga Anderson which is hilarious to me that it screamed diversity apparently yet no one questioned why some tiny North American town was primarily Finnish lol.

I'm in, I want more PvE games these days and less PvP. Control world with PvE, sounds good.

I mean... as much as I enjoyed control. I kind of don't want to be in the oldest house again.
I imagine this is just some 4 player wave based shooter, that wouldn't be too exciting. If they can pull off a co-op metroidvania style game in the vein of control then maybe.
Something Is giving off redfall vibes here though

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
I hard bet against Hell Divers 2 and was proved wrong hard, so i ain't gonna bet on this game.
But I love the Control universe and I'm a huge fan of Remedy and their game engine, so I'm hoping it does well.
They've got a sale from me either way.
I'll be this games "let me solo her"
That's quite a risky bet you are taking there.
The game is a PvE shooter obviously its not going to be a live service game.

Yeah, I’m not digging it. Control was incredible due to lore and that feeling crawling up your spine that you might just peer too much to what lies on the other side of the mirror. This is generic AF.

It's apparently a smaller and more experimental game, so it's probably worth to keep expectations low. Unless multiplayer-focused game with seasonal updates automatically means this is a game as a service regardless of its scope and extent of these updates, then yeahI hard bet against Hell Divers 2 and was proved wrong hard, so i ain't gonna bet on this game.

From the article it sounds more like their version of Killing Floor, but I'm hoping it's more than that.
It would be amazing if this were similar to Lethal Company or even Resident Evil Outbreak in some form.

I love Control, but if this is just about shooting a million hiss people, but in co-op this time, I'm not very interested.

lol. As though Max Payne did not shake up the industry.
Picture looks boring af. But who knows, maybe this is their Apex Legends and maybe it is not like Titanfall killed by its offspring. Sure hope Remedy would outsource their open world ideas to something else and get back to linear stuff they were and are best at.

More fucking GaaS shit in a franchise that shouldn’t be anywhere near it.

Remedy's biggest problem is that the action parts of their games aren't all that.
The story, ideas, lore, setting. Top tier. Maybe the best.
I'm interested to see what this ends up being, but tbh, I think Remedy at this point might as well be making movies.

The difference there and here is you where betting against developers who have made 4 player coop games for pretty much their entire career. First with Magicka and later with Helldivers, hell the focus on friendly fire has been kept throughout their titles, so in a way they have a proven track record of delivering outstanding coop action games. You where betting against that history.
Here your betting against a studio who has primarily done single player story focussed titles where one of the core mechanics is how much they can make a AAA game feel AA.
I would also argue the gameplay has kind of sucked since they left Max Payne in terms of shooting... I think in this case any attempt at a coop shooter should he met with skepticism. Not because it's impossible for them to pull it off, but because it's never been the strength of the studio.

Remedy became in less than one year from a beloved to one of the most hated studio of the industry. Incredible, so many bad decisions

Given how many projects Remedy has on their plate currently, something tells me this is gonna be a smaller, barebones, extraction type shooter. Really hoping this isn’t the case.

There's not much to glean from this first image. Aside from "They look like they've seen some shit."
Waiting for actual gameplay details. Other than that...I hope it's good.

I assume those guys are explorers that dive into the weird dimensions from control. Interesting premise, will be generic and deadpan as fuck

I’m not seeing any “Control” in that first pic. Sort of looks like it will just be another live service, multiplayer military-style shooter. Where’s Jesse Faden?

When did this happen?
What did they fuck up last year (don't say EGS or Digital only).
Alan Wake 2 is loved and Control was many people's GOTY 2019.
They announced Control 2.
Even the financial bomb Quantum Break has a cult following, and I've seen more than a few people asking for a sequel sans the TV show shit to keep the budget low.
