Control could be Remedy's big return
- Thread starter Arklite
- Start date
Idk I felt like the combat in Quantum Break was pretty good.
Granted this looks a lot better
It's a terrible name
Yeah, both Alan Wake and Quantum Break were excellent, and sucks more people didn't get to experience them.
And yeah, we've seen more since E3. They came out with this trailer since then that explained a bit about the game's lore.

Yes, there's a link in the OP to a video from December showing more gameplay. Here
That plus all of the rest of the info I put in the OP is why this is looking like an improvement.
Alan Wake have a positive general consensus. People loved that game.
QB was mediocre at best and it deserved all the hate.
Control already looks better because no TV BS
If the gunplay is more Max Payne than Quantum Break, I'm in like Flynn, ready to sin and pass off the legacy to the next of kin.
Well, that's totally on par with what I saw from quantum break, if talking about a gameplay stand point only
It's still very early sure, but I can't imagine how the final game could be much better. I would still definitely pick this up, but saying this has some magical quality that far exceed AW or QB is far stretching to me

Yes, it's not magical. I'm taking what they're saying at face value. Non linear play with an even wider repertoire of powers (especially levitation) and a renewed focus on combat would be a marked improvement over QB, but also a departure from the norm linear design for Remedy. Feels like I explained this all in the OP, though. Whether it pans out remains to be seen.
For me there's a difference between MP2 and AW where their narrative creativity went sky high but the rest of the game didn't follow. People can like Remedy's style while holding the opinion that their recent games missed some marks.

There's been a developer diary each month last year since E3.
Lots of gameplay content from the E3 demo.
RTX trailer from Games Com in August.
There was a PC Gamer cover in September 2018 (November issue).
New "World" trailer in December.
Plenty more to come. Keep the faith :)
I wished Quantum Break (QB) had a stealth option so you can choose whether you can go in guns blazing or take a stealth approach.
Looks like Control won't have stealth either. Too bad. I really like their games for the story but I hope the shooting will at least be better than in QB.

I played it on PS2 originally and still loved it. You're right it was rough. Replaying on Xbox and PC years later was eye opening
I'm very excited about this game since it was announced last E3. I loved Alan Wake and QB, my only gripe with the latest was that it didn't include a "Horde Mode" of sorts with many combat scenarios. Once you get the hang of moving around and using all the powers it's combat system shines like no other. I replayed the last levels several times in the hardest difficulty and, without delving too much into spoilers, always wanted to fight one of the shifters mentioned in the lore
I just finished a play through of Quantum Break and I can only say I'm really glad Control has a different narrative lead/head writer. QB had some of the most terrible writing I've seen in a game for a long time, and I'm talking the moment to moment, dialogue stuff. It doesn't help that the TV sections are dire in the extreme, but even the in-game stuff is pretty terrible. The overall plot isn't awful but is still pretty riddled with contrivances, so while I'm really intrigued by Control's setting and core concept, I'm not holding my breath too much.
