Control: Brutalist Skyscraper Cinematic Game Trailer

Yep that, as well as by new Weird, Jeff VanderMeer. Some of the original sources if inspiration especially from a world building perspective was the movie Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy and obviously Inception. There's way too many games to name that the team likes, but there's that definite metroidvania-influence in Control and some Dark Souls too, though everybody on the team is inspired by different things.
Combat variety is hugely important. I think you'll be positively surprised by the end result.
A high-end PC should be able to keep
The issue is that the game has severe frame-pacing problems and mouse control is broken, resulting in awful stuttering movement.
Oh, and you can't disable things like motion blur, and the cutscenes are capped to 30 FPS for some stupid reason. And you have to stream the videos instead of being able to download them. And you have to buy it again on a different store if you want the DX12 or DX11 version and have the other one.
My fault for not being precise enough. I meant 60 fps with perfect framepacing with upscaling disabled.
Really looking forward to this. Remedy has a distinct visual style, which reminds me I need to play Quantum Break.
Looks really cool, but if it all takes place in this building I can see it getting a bit artistically oppressive and samey. What about the big bold outdoor vistas and less dark or dingey, colourful larger environments to help break things up?
Man, I'm so excited for this, but I can't help but feel that the game is flying under people's radars.
Can't wait for this. I've never played a Remedy game before but this is one of my most anticipated for next year.
This game supposedly had a really striking RTX demo too, right?
This art direction is something that could push me to that technology.

Super intriguing, big fan of Max Payne and Alan Wake. I especially love what Remedy has done with Alan Wake, love those kinds of setting and story.
I only wish they continued the tradition of giving their main characters names that are a wordplay on the themes of the story.

I'm probably reaching, but upon searching "Faden" of Control protagonist Jesse Faden I found that it is a diminutive for "yarn" and "thread," which to extrapolate could relate to the fabric of reality in a game with a distorted reality.
It's also plural for "fathom," as to fathom the cosmos in a game with an ostensibly eldritch threat. Jesse Fathoms the Oldest House.
There will be variety. That was one of the points we wanted to make with this trailer that while it takes place in a single location, from a visual standpoint there is variety and more open ended spaces.
Sounds cool. Thanks for jumping in to the thread! Can't wait to see more of the game.
