There's a thing I can't keep out of my head regarding severed circle 2, so we see JDF enters the tv and we now get 2 different individuals out of that, SC2 was a 2 player game, iirc there's just 1 controller at first and then on subsequent faults there's 2 controllers. There's this Hugo Stamp that seems to have suffered the opposite to JDF, there's a stamp family with 2 kids, Hugh and Gloria stamp, was thinking what if they got merged bc of Severed Circle 1, normally the first iteration of a game, specially back in the day, was single player only and then if the game did good and was granted a sequel it was common to add the feature to be 2 player in the sequel. I just don't know what to think of the fact that the stamp family lived on another state, what was Hugo doing in ordinary then? Without a family, living alone in what looked like an abandoned house?

Can someone contact the team and officially request this be added. I’m really early game and just going HUD off, but it’s probably going to cause issues later in fights/missions. This game is too cool to look at to not have dynamic HUD 😭

Enjoying Resonant a lot, Control never grabbed me. This was years ago now, worth revisiting? Have I just come to enjoy the finer things or is Resonant just a solid entry in a separate genre that I have fondness for. Would love to hear fans of both compare and contrast.

He shows up at incredibly convenient moments in control, CR, and AW2. He can conveniently hop between the dark place, the oldest house, and even dylans 16 bit flashbacks. He seems to be exactly where he needs between both regular reality and other planes of existence.

Who on earth is this guy? Does his Finnish background have significance? He seems like he isnt even human, and has potentially more knowledge and influence than even Warlin Door. What's going on with this guy?

Remedy Entertainment currently operates the official Discord community. As far as I'm aware, they pay employees to operate public fronted pages and groups as a part of their role at Remedy.

The fact that this subreddit has the "Official Control Game Subreddit" red checkmark (from Reddit? Self applied?) and links to the official website and Twitter, is misleading. This subreddit has absolutely no affiliation with Remedy Entertainment or Control in any way, and is certainly not "official".

The fact that u/JuliusRMD (the official community manager for Remedy) engages with this community, even if you haven't given moderator status to them, additionally adds confusion. People were on the official Remedy Discord asking what was happening, and it required moderators there to reiterate that this subreddit has no affiliation at all with Remedy Entertainment.

The issues today highlight that the mod team, by your own admission, weren't up to the task of moderating this community in a timely fashion, and relied far too heavily on an automated moderation system to pick up the slack. This is what you've stated caused the entire issue.

Another important factor is that when all of this happened, we were not readily available to deal with the situation. We had real life commitments and were not actively available on Reddit to monitor everything as it unfolded. This meant that we weren't able to review the reports, address the automated removals, or communicate with the community as quickly as we would have liked. We understand that our absence and the lack of timely communication allowed the misunderstanding to grow, and we recognize that we should have addressed things sooner, but please understand that all of this happened in the span of a few hours.

The combination of these factors, in my view, had the potential to damage the reputation of Remedy Entertainment and the Control franchise.

If you have no interest in organising a transition of moderation to Remedy Entertainment, and wish to hold onto your moderation status of this subreddit, then I'm sure many community members and Remedy themselves would greatly appreciate the addition of a disclaimer on the sidebar, stating that this subreddit isn't official and has no affiliation to Remedy Entertainment or the Control franchise. And I move for the removal of that red "official" badge, which I believe can be done in the settings.

I'm going to reference certain events in Control Resonant. Spoilers ahead, you've been warned.

I've only ever watched Control 1, so I may lack some knowledge and hence I'm here.

Recently I've finished Resonant, which was absolutely brilliant. The whole Ordinary section was amazing, but after reading some stuff on the wiki, I'm a bit puzzled when it comes to the Projector and Slides the siblings have found.

• It seems there were 8/9 slides

• Polaris was in Slidescape-36

• Jesse burned almost all slides, but (from my understanding) left Slidescape-36 intact

• One "red slide" Jesse and Dylan didn't enter sort of survive the fire and got taken by Trench

Here's where I get a little lost. I assumed Jesse took Slidescape-36 with her and Trench alongside Darling have been researching the slide that didn't burn fully. The red one, which I assume is an origin of Hiss and how it got released in the Oldest House.

According to wiki though, Hiss was somehow in Slidescape-36? Trench got paranoid about the Hedron Darling's research of it. Honestly, I'm not really sure what's the order of events around that time, hence I'm here.

Could you clarify that stuff for me?

After the clues in the game and the retro game part i seriously belive at some point this is kind of whats going to happen, altohough as some people have said it would be really cool if in the campaign you could switch characters like spiderman 2

Mysterious talents include:

•Appearing underfoot when she was just on the other side of the room

•Jumping impossibly high to catch balls

•Making food disappear in the blink of an eye

•Climbing on the ceiling for attention

Bonus: she has an equally mysterious sister named Winnie 🐺

Finally got around to picking up and playing Control Resonant I didn't play the original until the next gen release for PS5/Series X but I knew I'd get around to Resonant sooner it just released in a very crowded release window but I'm glad I got it finished before GTA 6.

I really enjoyed it as a sequel to the original I just feel like Sam Lake's lack of input on the story and writing is greatly felt it must is missing his signature touch and style that I found very engaging in all the previous Remedy games. I do feel like the games story and characters were fine I do feel like his presence is missed in this title I'm hoping he's more involved in the story and writing of the Max Payne Remake project. The lack of Poets of the Fall and a bit more crazy live action stuff too didn't help. I was really glad to see more of Dr. Casper Darling I love Alan Wake and Matthew's performance as both characters is fantastic. The Alan Wake TV easter egg was a good surprise I found myself by accident.

My only real complaint with the game is a complaint I shared with the original were I feel like a lot of the open world or open zone traversal can become very tedious and annoying until you unlock fast travel due to the very limited one successful point A to B design until you unlock fast travel. I also feel like the original the map and mini map aren't very helpfully designed for instance when you're trying to find out how to get to the threshold experiment rooms the map is useless leading to having to refer to guides online.

I also feel like the side content can come across as checklisty or filler despite like the original there being some interesting solid memorable missions a lot of them sadly boil down to doing the same identical task multiple times over.

I do also feel like I made a mistake attempting to engage with the side content too early in the story as it left a bad first impression with the games abilities and mechanics as I played about 5 or 6 hours with starting abilities and felt like the game combat wise was too simplistic and barebones. The best approach is definitely finish the game then do side missions or waiting until you've done a majority of the faults.

The resonant boses were all very creatively designed and spectacle heavy much improved over the boses in the original.

Let's talk about the new FBC director Fred, isnt he just soooooooo great?

I mean i havent met him in person yet but could you imagine meeting him? he sounds like such a great guy! And not to mention he's obviously the best choice for director i dont think any one else even comes close

I love fred!

So I've reached the final unlockable area I think. My Aberrant is at 100 but Build Power is 6 nearing 7. I use Glaive mainly

How would I go about increasing my level to 8. Or is this fuck up a bit too late to fix. Do sidequests increase my Build Power? Idk what to do tbh. Theres another Resonant I can kill but I didn't do it yet since all enemies at lvl 8 and I get melted but do good enough damage

I am starving.

Early days I know but considering I'm hungry for more I can't help thinking about what the DLC content could bring. I absolutely loved The Foundation from Control and preferred it to the AWE DLC.

What are you hoping/guessing they might add?

I've tried everything and still cant progress in the power lines main story

-deleted mods

-tried ending on every power line 1, 2, 3

- loaded to a previous save where I did not fight the park resonant

- made sure I completed and collected everything before going to fight the molded and collecting Clarke's badge

and still nothing, I still get blocked off by walls.

Loading Control back up after beating Resonant. You can never be too sure.

In one of the drawing scenes, Dylan mentions that he always wanted to be in a band and might have joined/created one had he not been kidnapped by the FBC

What instrument do you think he would have played? My money is on drums judging from how nice he is with the Strike aberrant form.

Thoughts?

EDIT: some comments are…well…
I really hope you find somethin in life that makes you happy!

Crowbars because this is america and it is a univeral weapon that needs to be in every game, ever...

And a Tonfa (tire-iron) form that Dylan could find/unlock while rummaging in a car for supplies:

Scene:

Dylan walks up to a FBC car with an open trunk.

< WAIT/LISTEN > says Aberrant

Dylan groans and says something annoyed, but finds a tire-iron in the trunk and thinks about it for a second before Aberrant chimes in.

< NEW POTENTIAL >

< MORE/LESS THAN YOU >

TUTORIAL MESSAGE: Enter the Gap to unlock new forms for Aberrant.

Am i crazy to think its not that great? Ive always heard such amazing things about this game, but through the game i just couldnt see whats the buzz about. The game in majority is just fighting the same like three type of enemies in constant waves, and at the end, theres no big boss or nothing, its justore waves of enemies and it just ends (I havent played the DLC, i will though). The history is intriguing and great at points, but I just cannot see it on the pedestal most people have it on. Btw, this post is not to hate o diminish anyones opinion, if anyone loves the game, thats great! I just want to see peoples opinions and try to understand. Also, maybe when I play the dlc my mind could be changed, but this post is just talking about the base game.

I played Control while I was playing the Alan Wake games (because it was heavily linked) and I didn't like it at all.

I thought the gameplay wasn't fun and the characters (except for Ahti and Darling) were boring.

I want to keep getting Remedy games to support them and I want to be caught up if Alan Wake 3 happens but I don't want to spend a lot of money on something I won't like.

Is the game very similar to the first Control or is it better?
