CONTROL |OT| Welcome to This Oldest House of Leaves

Enjoying the sun? Perfect breeze coming through here on the south coast.
Cheers for popping in on the BH to interact. Do you know offhand whether HDR is something to be expected as a patch down the line or it's just something not included? Or even if there isn't an official position on it yet.
Doesn't affect whether I'll get the game, but I'd rather hold off on diving in if HDR is coming soon considering the stellar art direction.
I think so it's one of the most advertised RTX games from Nvidia

This is one of those things where I'm being real about the drops but also don't want to give the impression it's defining my experience, I'm having a blast with the game, I think for folks that love focused single player games or Remedy in general, this is a winner and the why in regards to the drops is important too, the physics and destruction is wild.
It is a bummer and does have an impact on combat though. Quite significantly at times, on base PS4. I understand why someone on the fence with other options might hang back a bit and wait on patches.
I wonder if the performance issues can be fixed with a day one patch?
I am waiting on the reviews before getting the digital deluxe version (PS4).
There are always problems about reviewers spoiling the game too much.
That's exactly what i mean. Someone was asking about that extentes/second embargo.
Very excited for this. Hadn't played QB because..you know. But this going to be great.
No reviews though, that's bad.

Nice, thanks, yeah I hope it will be added to the OT. so Control reviews and Astral Chain land in 1 hour.
Who is doing the review thread for Control?
Yeah, I can't see there being a version that doesn't have a few dropped frames, as the utter chaos at times is mind-blowing. As good destructible environments as I can remember seeing really.
This is on track to be my GOTY.
Do we know anything about the expansions? When to expect them? I didn't even know there was going to be DLC until about a week ago.

There will be a DLC expansion? Never read about that, where was that mentioned?
I've been playing on the pro. Performance is pretty consistently good, but there are some problematic areas. Normally areas that aren't too surprising, due to the large npc counts, debris, etc. Sometimes the destruction can cause a momentary bit of chugging, then it'll go back to being fine.
You'll probably want to wait for the likes of digital foundry for a quality opinion, but as someone who's pretty sensitive, I've been dealing OK. There's the odd rough dip, but for the majority of the time the game plays just fine.
Nothing, except for the first expansion releasing earlier (whenever that is) on PS4, as long as you've bought the most expensive Deluxe Edition. The time difference between that launch and the others is also unknown, could be a week or a month.
Yes, the digital deluxe includes the season pass. First expansion will be released on PS4 first.

would be pretty weird to do reviews in the OT. not sure why someone hasn't made one yet
Nice, did not knew that. So there are two expansion packs planned, both are labeled as post game launch, I wonder when that is.Yes, the digital deluxe includes the season pass. First expansion will be released on PS4 first.
See:
Thanks for the information :)
Whatever these expansions are, I hope they add a substantial reason to play the game multiple times: challenges, score attack modes... Something beyond what I've been reading of, basically, all content being completed in 15/20 hours at most. Curious to see an action game with no difficulty options, either.
PS: Good OT, and glad to see so much interest for this.

I don't know if Control will review well or not, but there's definitely a pattern of games that are a bit different reviewing more poorly than many people believe they deserve to be, especially if they don't have much hype going in. Control is more of a metroidvania by all accounts, slow paced, weird, and difficult -- and this isn't the kind of thing we see a ton of in the AAA space
So I did not reallt followed this game since it was announced, but now I see that it seems to be some kind of trippy unsettling scary stuff and see a lot of mentions of SCP so my interest was immediately raised, probably gonna pick this up if it's good. I can't find any reviews, is the embargo not lifted yet? Are there some returns already about the game? If this really a trippy stuff a la SCP and the game is good I can see myself buying it today and play at midnight :)
Yeah, pretty much. There's plenty of older games that were critically panned at the time of release only to be recognized later on.
Embargo's up in 30 minutes!

I haven't played a remedy game since Alan Wake so I am looking forward to this.
I preordered on Saturday off of Amazon, it will probably arrive last minute since I took so long to order it.

I have had the game preordered for a while but damn this is gonna make the wait harder
Not sure if you've seen it or not but the launch trailer is incredibly effective imo. Also the reviews should be up in just under 30m.
Yeah, I knew that much, but thanks. Hope the exclusivity period isn't too long!
Sweet, all the rest of the afternoon for me to read up and decide :)
I haven't because I wanted to just read reviews instead, but since they're 30 mins away, I'll watch it now
Edit : Yep, alright, I'm sold !
