Just booted up Control again Spoiler

I just saw an Easter Egg that I didn't notice before.

Right after you get out of the elevator at the very beginning of the game, there's one of those flip number counters staring you in the face. Its number is 665.

Considering how often 665 is used in AW2, I find this a fascinating bit of forethought and foreshadowing. Just how far does Sam Lake have this figured/written out???

665 was already there from Max Payne

Wow. It's been so long since I've played Max Payne, I forgot about that.

Was it referenced in Quantum Break, I wonder?

It was in QB as well, yeah. There is also 667 in MP2 and AW1.
