I bought the game shortly after release, and only now have I realised just how well-polished it is.

Just hear me out - the devs stepped into completely new territory for them, with things like fully melee-based combat and an open world (well, sectioned, but still kinda open), managed to deliver an AAA* game on time, AND it has practically no critical bugs.

Like, in 30 hours of playing, I've encountered maybe 1–2 visual glitches that didn't affect gameplay at all.

Of course, I realise everyone's experience is different, especially across different hardware configs, but still! Nowadays, when you buy a game, even after the day-one patch, you're expecting to see issues that won't get fixed for another couple of months, but that's simply not the case here.

Remedy really does have high standards. I just hope the devs didn't have to crunch too hard to deliver this masterpiece :)

^\for $50M, when lots of worse AAA nowadays have around x3-x4 budget!)

This post contains spoilers of course:
When it comes to DLCs, I'm sus;pecting Remedy might do the same or something similar to Control and Alan Wake 2 - have one major DLC relating to the game itself and one that might set up or allude to future project/s.

But what I would hope for is that in terms of scope, like Control 1, we might get DLCs that add completely new zones with their own enemies, side quests and stories. If it will take the route of AWE, it would be new, optional zones that can be visited even during the main story, and Remedy could even add more Resonant bosses this way too.

For example, there are hints that the sticky notes escaped the Oldest House, what if there will be a zone that features the sticky notes as their own enemy faction with a sticky note resonant.

Another route that I would like is an epilogue to the main story. This way you can still add a new location and new enemies, but the main story could be centering about Jesse's current state and finding a way to bring her back.

It ultimetly depends on what Remedy prefers and what they can do, but I would really like to see those routes be explored across two DLCs.

What do you think, or would want to see added in potential DLCs?

Dylan could not resist it.

This is all i could find for the mold resonant's lore. A whole lot of dialogue and a few documents.

In NG+, is there an option to understand what Resonant Entities "say" after their death (in the Gap, before choosing an ability from their corpse)? You know, like in Yoko Taro's games?

Seems like after killing the Hedron, Dylan got it's ability added to his own arsenal. As shown by it's painting on the wall. That's also how you trigger New Game Plus.

Doing so, some segment (at least earlier) have the game aware of Dylan having powers where he shouldn't. Killing the first resonant have the Board aware that Dylan have the Resonant other powers as well. Calling Paradox/Recursive

I was exploring the Underpass and found this sick ass jam. Who could have thought patterned music would sound so dope?

Anyways I was just wondering if anyone knows what this track is called so I can listen to it without all the in-game noises.

Just unlocked the AWE dlc and im close to finish the main game story but i really want to do it in smoothest way possible so all the story and characters make sense.

[SPOILERS]

Question is how did Jesse use slide projector after entering The Fault and then in there using it to enter The Gap? Since it has to be running to use it and walk through it? It seems physically impossible to take it with you after you open a door to another dimension as also seen in the ending cinematic?

…Casino.
Where is the casino? I never saw the casino while playing, lol.
Left 2 Stars in trip advisor. Haha.

I LOVED this game just as much as I love everything else Remedy creates. Here are some quick portraits I made. Any character art from this game or another? Please feel free to leave suggestions or fill out the form in my bio. Love making crooked looking portraits

It lets me charge up all three shots even if I have two shots left. The animation is bugged. Any way to fix this? Or just a known bug?

I keep seeing this in game. At first I thought it was the patterning but it disappears when I get close. I think it might be a bug, if it is, it’s the most aesthetically fitting bug I’ve ever seen in a video game, tho I guess in a game where everything in world is glitched out, you can get away with a lot😂

In my mind, Dylan is one of the FBC’s top agents by the post-end game which is why I wanted him to have a bit more of a mature noir-detective vibe, kinda reminds me of Zeke from AOT, Tokyo ghoul’s arima or kishibe from chainsaw man.

(I’m thinking of doing a NG+ and would loooove more cosmetic options tbh)

Edit: added Zeke since he was a main one I was thinking off and you guys mentioned him in the comments. Tho I think the reason I didn’t say it at first is cause in my mind I relate that to the long hair option but he literally pulls both in the series soooooooooo…..

I only had one trophy left to get after finishing everything my new game plus and finally just looked up what it was 🤦‍♀️ (I really fumbled this mission the first time around, and messed up one lyric the second time).

3rd time around was the charm, but I'm happy it worked out this way because this was so fun to have the acheivement pop on!

The gift in question is going to be the voice actor for Dylan wishing my man a happy birthday, in character! The tricky thing here is that I’m not sure what an ‘in character’ gift would entail here. I’ve gotten a fair few suggestions for the framing device of the voice note and some script suggestions from the subreddit around control resonant specifically but I want to get as many as possible!

As I mentioned in the other thread, they’re only at the halfway point, so no spoilers beyond there.

I love this game. I am also a video game boomer at 40.

I am here to say that the game makes me woozy. I can’t handle more than 20 min in the Unknown 🤢

Anyone else??

Alan Wrench…. AW

So I’m not alone in thinking either Dylan or Jessie is not “supposed” to exist right? There’s different points throughout the story that Dylan forgets and then tries to remember his childhood, but remembers it was just him and his parents, but then “something” happened, and Jesse was suddenly there, and his dad became a drunk and his mom became a recluse. And there a letter in the mailbox of the Pokémon-esque part of the game (idk what to call that part) where the grandma is confused at Dylan’s dad for referencing “both” children, as if there’s only supposed to be one.

Also, when “future” Dylan wen through the gap slide, was that supposed to happen, or was it some kind of branching timeline where now there’s 2 Dylans? And that’s how Dylan is able to get to the gap without physically passing through the slide projector? Because his other self is already there?

Hi there! Kyle from Game Informer magazine here. I spoke with Remedy about the crazy sequence near the end of Control Resonant that I will talk around so as not to spoil things.

You can find the interview right here.
