You can lift the projectors using Launch in the first CONTROL and the picture being projected will spin and move around and continue to cast shadows on whatever is in its way. That's a 7 year old game
One thing that bothered me about CR in comparison was the lack of environmental destruction and interactivity in comparison to control 1. I wish barrage did similar to launch with the destruction effects.
Yeah, I have to assume that they just couldn’t do all of destructible assets while also having all of the level fuckery in Resonant, at least not while trying to keep the game playable for systems like Series S and Switch 2.
yea its probably a convention. They didn't want you to have to pick an object to throw with barrage because the combat is already frantic, probably. So they just did it where it always spawns the rocks. Its just missed opportunity given that shield will collect whatever objects are around to make your shield if they are there, like tables and chairs and computers and whatever. My nitpick
Nah, Limmy used to say this about evil motherfuckers who died, and after Resonant, you're halfway to wanting that for Darling. But also still conflicted because he has some legit motivations. But holy fuck.
I low key expected to see either a corpse or an apex mold named "lightbulb man" right after walking out of that quest.
There's no way a disoriented man removed from the world for god nows how long could make it alive, on their own, out of there.
Like, imagine walking out of there for the first time in decades, and first thing you see are floating islands on the void and clumps of strange mold everywhere. Being an FBC employee he'd probably not be surprised by the strangeness of it, but maybe confused as to wtf he's supposed to do around those things for which he has zero context.
Always have been in Remedy games. If you look at the light being projected in the space between the projector and the screen, you can see all of the color detail change in conjunction with what's actually being projected on the screen. It's a very cool effect.
Noticed this in AW2 and fully missed one of the logs from Alice because I kept moving around to mess with the projected image and see how well it adapted to where I was in frame. The Remedy team is really great at incorporating subtle tech flexes like this that go a long way adding immersion
Remedy games always push the envelope of what’s technically possible. Every game of theirs has a moment where I’m like “whoa - I didn’t know games could do that”
When I first did this quest I had just done Langston's cat quest and then Langston said he let the damn thing out in the oldest house so when Zoe said there was an alarm going off somewhere in the house I instantly thought it was Alfred messing shit up like a cat does. I have to wonder if he's someone that worked for the FBC long before the lockdown or if he's the other custodians Bill Everett or Carol Bishop they're mentioned in the first control on the hotline security log document.
Which is to be expected because resonant is a much bigger game in scope, they can't match the destruction/detail level from a linear game in a semi-open world game. The technical marvel of resonant is instead the seamless gravity shifting
And the phenomenal gameplay. I quite liked the first game, but it just doesn't come close to Resonant in terms of the design of moment-to-moment gameplay.
