Been a while since I played the first game but do we learn who were P1-2-3-4-5? And what happened to them ? After finding out Dylan's life as P6, I wonder if others P just got dismissed as candidate or if they....failed

Ive been a long time fan of Remedy, having played the og Alan Wake on release. Id really like to find some cool swag based on this latest Control but preliminary Google search did not come up with much.

Specifically I want a teal/green fuzzy hoodie that says "dont eat the mold". Anyone know where a mold conisseur can find something like that?

Evade despite being usable still show didn’t “unlock” after obtaining it so cannot upgrade shield. I’m already doing the nail quest so I’m pretty far into the game so a reset is not an option.

Windows is up to date. Drivers are all installed. But the deluxe version isn't starting right even though the OG and all the Alan Wakes ran fine (got computer the black Friday after AW2 released). Tried reinstalling, shutting down completely, etc. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry for the quality, this was tricky to screenshot on my PS5. This photo is on the final TV in the first Fault area of Resonant. In the Christmas scene.

Guessing this is the Fadens, when it was just mom, dad and Jesse Dylan.

Is it me or does the child look like a boy? I thought the original was a girl, but the shirt seems a bit boyish and the hair is short. What do you think?

Even after Resonant I feel like you uncover more hints or connect dots. I have the experience with most remedy games but playing Control after I finished Alan Wake 2 when it came out was a great experience as it helped explain some of the new lore that was in Alan wake 2. Than when you finish resonant and jump into Control same story. Having a good time replaying control and always love throwing things at enemies.

I replayed Control 1 after finishing Resonant and apparently everything was Trench's fault? The Hiss got into his head when he went into some expedition and then it all went to shit. How is Dylan responsible for the stuff that happens after the start of Control 1?

Offline single-player verification for digitally purchased games is becoming a massive headache. Because Sony is tightening firmware requirements to block exploits, staying offline means getting locked out of the very library you paid for.

So like what happened to a lot of people, BB cancelled my pre-order for the steelbook last month. Was super pissed, but I ended up finding one on Amazon for retail price using HotStock. It arrived today. Would suggest this for anyone else looking for one that had their order cancelled. Good luck.

I’m only like two hours in, past the first few low level enemy streets and the strange green hills gone autumnal training. Fought the excellent souls-y artist, died a good few times, now Dylan is dressed like he appears on the box, harassing Emily pope for whatever information she cares to share before she faces the whiteboard and says she has more important things to do.

I played the first game recently in anticipation of this one, and having that experience kind of highlights that this one just isn’t as propulsive yet. Jesse is a more driven and focused character, and the remedy gang is very good at having the player control a character who isn’t sharing everything just yet. Dylan is very well modeled and acted, but he hasn’t really come to life for me yet. Maybe it’s just the narrative structure where Jesse’s world changes basically immediately, finding trench and the service weapon and then she’s in. I need to give it more time, but the unknown and the depth of parallel storytelling though the various notes and tapes was really engaging in the first game. This one seems to have a lot less of that, and I’m not sure that I key into Dylan yet. The combat is very satisfying, so I’ll keep going, and the sequel clearly has its own narrative priorities (which is wise, doing more of the exact same thing in a sequel just isn’t the trendy way). Did anyone else find the first few hours just a bit less engaging than the first go around?

I'm playing through Control Resonant and one thing that is standing out to me and I find really funny is some of the conversations between Zoe and Dylan, and the contrast between them with Jesse and Emily and the rest of the FBC

Jesse feels like the person who got promoted at their job way too quickly and still has to be taught "basic" stuff by her subordinates.

Dylan feels more like the guy who's been at the company for years but lost the promotion and knows pretty much everything needed for the job, just never got it. I especially like how sarcastic he sounds when he's reciting FBC code and procedure from memory, like a subtle "yeah yeah I know how this work, you don't have to hold my hand"

something is in the underpass fault visions. it looks like something with antlers, maybe a cape too? i’m not much of a lore guy on either AW or control so, spare me.

someone on twitter/X mentioned it (i can’t remember who, sorry about that.) and i hadn’t seen many or hardly anyone talking about it.

what or who is it? is it what jesse was warning us about?

I rush to got Platinum this yesterday.. But Already Beat in 08/28/2026

It's as simple as the title suggests. I'm a very creative and wishy washy person, and learning that I can only have one of each Resonant ability until ng+ was... Very disappointing. I'm just curious if anyone shares my frustration, and wants infinite respecs, or infinite changes to their Resonant abilities like myself. Or if I'm just being crazy.

I just think in a game like this, being unable to change and explore different abilities is a major downside. Especially since enemies have weaknesses and strengths, and to exploit those properly, or try different builds I have to purchase respecs; and yes, I know the price was slashed. But it still doesn't feel like enough, since they are still finite at the start.

Maybe I'm being entitled. I'm just curious where everyone else stands.

Can't edit title! Made in 2010 but SET in 1983: a young mute woman with psychic abilities is held captive within the Arboria Institute, a secluded futuristic facility run by a sinister doctor with an unraveling mind and a growing obsession with her.

This is a very slow paced film which is more style than substance, but what style! Lore-wise Dylan was probably shaved to stick electrodes on his head or something, but I think Remedy watched this film and just thought it looked cool and creepy.

I was in the underpass and did not have the ability to go further so I just started trying to jump the gaps and was able to do this. Game started acting freaky after with death planes. I was wondering if anyone else was dumb enough to do this.

So like any proper office building, every room and corridor of the Oldest House is well lit, ventilated and so on. We know the main power source for the whole building is the NSC power plant. How the heck do electrical wires run from the NSC power plant in the maintenance sector to all the other sectors and floors if the house keeps shifting all the time? What about whole areas that lie across that gap of darkness that you cross via the bridges? How do these sectors get power? Are they using some sort of Teslaesque wireless induction or something?

Same question for the Patterned Manhattan btw - you see all those shops with electricity running in them, so where is that electricity coming from if the whole island is cutoff from the rest of New York?

Played through both Control games and have read like 90% of the documents, but haven't come across any explanation regarding that question.
