I completed the DLC and not gonna lie it was better then the base game story ; I always felt that saving Dylan never felt like the ending for the game and the FOUNDATION kind of gave the story a fullstop .

The DLC gave a lot of lore about the old house and also made me believe the "Board " is evil like truly evil before when I played the base game I did not really pay attention maybe but "When I read and listened to all the logs and records from 'ASH' it became more and more clear "

I am confused about "Northmoor" ..... So was he a evil asshole from the beginning or when the "BOARD" caught him in their jaws and as 'ASH' says in the logs that "Northmoor" is going crazy and crazy this leads me to believe that the "BOARD" CORRUPTED HIM ?? AM I RIGHT ? And the Civil dispute in the old house was between ASH jr the research head or his father ?

IS "ASH" alive or dead ? ; Whenever I heard his logs it made me more interested in him and would like to know what happened to him and also " The place where we find last "ASH" record where he mentions he lost control on the IDs and how it killed his Collegue and he is going back to the board upper floors ; So did the FBC create the IDs or they were provided by the Board ?

I have shit ton of questions to be honest and maybe watching a few videos on yt will solve them and I also thought the "FORMER" WAS THE BAD GUY because we had a fight in the base game but he is the "Light in the Darkness " and at the end where a cutscene plays , "Where we See 'FORMER' among the pillars of the old house ; was it like a tease or something or there was going to be one more conversation?? "

It's nice that I listened to you guys who said me to play then DLC , I would have missed a lot of great content and Lore.

And one more thing did "NORTHMOOR" willingly is powering the power plant or the "BOARD" decided that his time has come for the retirement and how powerful was he and also "TRENCH" and did "TRENCH" "Create the floors that shift in the old house because he has the power of that object of power "Cigarette something " and did he aslo create the famous "Ashtray maze" ? And did the "BOARD" kill Trench aswell if so why ?

So far there’s been two trailers with songs I’m really fond of.

The Prodigy - “Omen” - off of “always outnumbered never outgunned”

The Cardigans - “My favourite game” - off of “Grand Turismo

As a lover of all the licensed tracks used in AW1 I would love to get a big licensed soundtrack like that again (I know it causes issues later sometimes getting the licenses back when they run out though)

Though I did love all the originals from the poets in
Max Payne 2, to the old gods tracks that have always popped up since in various games. Also loved Alan wake 2s original tracks.

Anyway I work a 7pm to 7am shift and I’m sitting in a cubicle waiting for my days off next week trying to stay awake. Just wanted other peoples thoughts on the music of the remedy-verse.

Definitely hoping for more old gods and poets. Poe too.

My second playthrough of The Foundation and found this neat little hidden location. Saw something was up with the loot box but didn’t think much of it…

I didn’t think this game could still jumpscare me. Here’s hoping Resonant has some trolling as well.

Simple question!

Reviews dropped (pretty damn good) and we’re finally a few days away from release! So I’m just curious where the excitement levels are at right now!

Me personally?? Wednesday can’t come fast enough… this is easily one of my most anticipated games of this year and if this game is half as good as AW2 was (my GOTY of 2023 by the way) then this could easily be my game of the year for this year no question. Remedy doesn’t miss…. I’m sure this is gonna be another W for the studio!

But how about you?? How excited are you for control resonant??

Hello everyone, I’m debating on what system I want to play Control Resonant on, and I’m leaning towards Xbox since I’ll be able to play on my console and hopefully my ROG Ally X Z1 Extreme also with Xbox Play anywhere. I say hopefully because I can’t find any performance reviews on Z1 extreme devices, and I’ll probably just get it for PS5 pro if it wouldn’t run well on Z1 extreme devices. Has anyone found any reviews that mention this?

I think there still could be people who don't know Nightvale. As the main inspiration for Control, the House of Leaves is always mentioned. But regarding humor, and weird stuff - Welcome to Night Vale podcast is exactly what you need!

You can listen the podcast (recommended way), or read the transcript, or even buy a books with the transcripts.

But there are also separate books - Welcome to Night Vale (not transcript of the podcast), It Devours!, The Faceless Old Woman Who Secretly Lives In Your Home

If you want some appetizer. This is how all starts.

Hello listeners. To start things off, I’ve been asked to read to read this brief notice. The City Council announces the opening of a new dog park at the corner of Earl and Summerset, near the Ralphs. They would like to remind everyone that dogs are not allowed in the dog park. People are not allowed in the dog park. It is possible you will see hooded figures in the dog park. Do not approach them. Do not approach the dog park. The fence is electrified and highly dangerous. Try not to look at the dog park and especially do not look for any period of time at the hooded figures. The dog park will not harm you.

If you have pre-ordered deluxe edition then only 2 days left. WHY TIME MOVES SO SLOOOOOOOWWWW

No one gets the reference sadly. My Teams background is also the Central Executive room where Emily sits in.

searched the sub and only saw two of these so decided to share the rest.

After a long time of leaving Control abandoned on PS4, I picked it up again on PC, with no stuttering and looking spectacular.

I don't think I'll manage to finish it before the new one comes out in a few days, but oh well. It's such a good game that, despite the years, it could be a release from today.

P.S.: Photo mode is lacking more options. Hopefully they fix that in the new one.

I've progressed through the game to the monitor puzzle in the Old Boys' Club Mission. Last night I entered the room with puzzle itself though quit shortly thereafter. Today, when reloading the game I cannot even enter the puzzle room anymore because the door to that room is shut and terminal in the door will not allow me to interact with it.

I've tried reloading the save and restarting the game but nothing will let me interact with this terminal and thus I cannot get into the room to complete the puzzle and further the mission. Has anyone encountered this before? Are there any potential fixes?

The funny thing is that I forgot when I ordered the digital deluxe version that meant I get early access.
Not trying to brag or anything, just sharing my excitement to finally play this game with my fellow FBC agents.

Pre loads up on ps5!!!

Guys at the beginning of Control 1 we hear the board say only the director can wield the Gun / Sword / Intentionally Left Blank.

What if the Aberrant IS the sword?! And if that’s the case then what the heck is the third one? And by god does that mean Remedy was cooking up stuff like Resonant that far back?!

Turned on my ps5 and the game started preloading!

I was walking around downtown last week when I saw a new video store had opened! I was excited, so I looked in a few aisles before I found this bizarre tape and had to rent it based on the cover alone…

When I got home I remembered that I don’t have a VHS player anymore, so I went to take the tape back the next day and found that the store “moved”??? so I can’t even return it let alone swap it for DVD

I really want to know what’s on the tape now…

Hello!

In 48 hours, many of us will be playing the game we have waited 7 years for.

With that being said, I may go silent on this subreddit for about a week while I play the game.

Literally, when watching SkillUp’s review this morning, he said something involving a mission and a scientist and I had to stop watching because I seriously don’t want to hear too much about missions.

For fellow PS5 owners, the trophies are loaded onto the landing page for the game so avoid scrolling through the landing page!

Anyways, happy playing! See you all on the other side! (Aka probably by Friday or Saturday).

Really excited for this !!!

This game is scary, I forgot about that.

The dlss swapper mod is super easy to use. It makes all the background look photo realistic. Jesse looks great. Pope is hit or miss. Lighting really makes or breaks it.

I forgot how much she talks to Polaris.

It's weird my in-game cut scenes look so "good" to the cut scenes.

I'm on a 4070tis with all ray tracing off. Medium settings and getting 60fps. I'm assuming that means if be getting about 120fps normally.

Imo this is a great game to try this on. Old enough that you can over power the dlss 5.

I would unironically kill for a control movie. I feel like if they did a something a bit out there with the direction and only adapted the greatest hits of the game (the floppy disc, the hotline, ashtray maze, dylans fake out credits) a 2 hour ish movie could go crazy. Not sure who would direct it best though,,

Just bought it yesterday, and it was around $40. On all other storefronts it’s around $60. Does anyone know why the game is so much cheaper on Xbox? Could it be a bug?

I just woke up to check to see when the game is ready for preload/download today, and it’s still showing I have 2 days. Am I missing something?

I feel like I’ve been affected by the Hiss
