the ones i got from preordering the game are definitely entire costume changes, the MC's hairstyle even changes.

Oh hell yea this looks tight, I'll grab it on Xbox tomorrow.Some Xbox One X Screen Shots:
Control needs Photo Mode ( QB too )
Steam in a year.
Ah, ok. Cool.
I wonder if there's any sort of jumpsuit. Something Black Widow-ish.
The first thing I did was restart the client, and that didn't work.
Just restarted it again, and it worked.
Huh... thanks!
You get more abilities further down the story. But ultimately it's a shooter and stays a shooter, so I'm not sure what your expectations are and if they are met later on. The game will make more sense after you talk to other characters and read and listen to notes, letters and audio recordings. Also watch out for environmental clues and think about what actually happens and what meaning could be behind the obvious (IIRC it's also said at the very beginning, that things are often meant to distract us, like posters on a wall).
The different grey shades represent the floors. So if you are on a light grey shade but want to go to a darker shade you have to change floors. It requires a bit effort aside from the usual open world/RPG map and since you can still move while looking at it (which is awesome) I think they wanted it to keep it simple in terms of navigating the map (like selecting floors, etc.). It also helps not constantly watching the map but the environment and recall certain rooms to orientate yourself better.
I think you have to construct it at a fast travel point. You get that ability at some point in the storyline, you don't find it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE how forgiving/generous the launch ability is. I assumed there was gonna be some skill involved where you had to directly look at the thing you wanted and then accurately throw it to land a hit.
The fact that you can pretty much fling shit willy nilly makes it awesome and helps keep up the flow of combat.

Really enjoying the game, but damn I wish the large quantity of jank just wasn't there. Silly little things at first like your character running up on chairs and stuff is weird janky movement stuff from what feels like the PS1/PS2 generation and that we were past that.
Playing on a base PS4 and by fuck does the framerate go to like 3fps whenever I do telekinesis stuff.
Also whenever finishing a mission, the game straight up just freezes for 5 seconds. I am quite surprised it made it out of QC at all on consoles :/

I found it at the start, can't remember where but basically early on (I think after the first cleanse zone). Poor me though as I deconstructed shatter and I've yet to find another one. I fucked up bad here, wasn't sure what I was doing yet.
Still very early on, just cleared the first control point, but I kind of love everything about this so far.
Huge SCP vibes, interesting story set up and the narration framing looks like it could be something pretty neat. The presentation is peak Remedy so far, that title card drop was just aces.

It's like Remedy dug into my brain and made the exact game that I would fucking love to death.
This game looks so freaking awesome, and I want to buy it so bad, but there's no way I'll get it for my base PS4. Seeing how rough it runs at times on the PRO makes me think it'll be a slideshow on the regular ol' PS4. I understand and applaud Remedy for pushing tech forward, but it really sucks that I won't be able to properly play this game until the PS5 (I hope, anyway)
Yup. Even in places with no objects or looking at the ground she just takes a chunk of concrete out of the wall/floor.
Even with performance as it is on Pro/X, I think that will be have to be my avenue (X specifically). My PC handles stuff well enough most of the time but people with waaay better specs than mine in the PC performance thread are reporting iffy results, so I'll save myself the headache of fiddling forever.
I am enjoying the hell out of Control so far. The type of horror and atmosphere it's going for is phenomenal to the point that I'm going to have to find some books I can read with a similar style.
Good shit, Remedy.

It was discussed here before, the game simply isn't on a playable state for the base versions of PS4 and Xbox One. It honestly should have been a X/PRO exclusive.
I tried gamepad and its a joke as far as I'm concerned.
Even switching the assist features off, it doesn't feel right. There's a turn speed limitation of some sort if you make right stick inflexion quickly from centre to furthest away. I then used the Steam Controller's mouse-joystick where its easier to test that motion (which emulates mouse movement from the stick, usually flawlessly) and that had the same issue.
The game does not support simultaneous mouse and gamepad, which would the ideal solution for me with these third person shooters - so I can't use the Steam Controller in that way.
The only option that feels fine, is keyboard and mouse (or the same with the Steam Controller). Less finesse in movement without analogue stick movement, but the KB and Mouse controls compensate well enough for this, so it isn't an impediment. Strongly recommend KB+M
I'm playing with K/M because I'm fanatic to headshot lol besides the only preset on my mouse is V to 4 bottom
Pretty game for sure. But got a few artefacts. Using ray tracing, very quick mouse movements leaves an "un-rendered" outline / ghost on certain furniture for a very brief moment. Might be related to playing the game at variable refresh (80hz to 110hz mostly)
Yeah that's ridiculous. Shit, the main menu that you get lumped in when the game starts oozes atmosphere from the ambient track that plays

Really love exploring every nook and cranny, reading all the various posters and whatnot.
What the fuck is this though
Pic of the MC, early on in the game.
Edit: Oh shit, they're everywhere.

Sorry to interrupt the thread, but for Humble Bundle folks, were you getting this inability to install after redeeming it (finally)? I rdeemed at work about 2 hours ago and just got home to install and can't.
Edit: And of course, now the Install is there. Disregard >.<

The portraits literally change from Trench to Faden the moment she gets the Service Weapon.
I thought it was weird but I didn't go back to check. Such a great detail.
I'm seeing some people saying this game reminded them of Prey and I must say it didn't have the same effect on me. The first hours of Control reminded me of no game at all. So weird and unpredictable. I feel it's carving new space for itself.
Also, I wouldn't mind hearing the whoosh sound of grabbing an object all day long.
That review was just trash.
After a couple of hours, i feel this game is one of the unique gems what you can find every 1 or 2 years.
Good job Remedy.
Even without the RTX stuff, this almost feels like a next-gen game to me. It just looks beautiful. Played about 2 hours and I can't believe I never cared about this game up until the launch date.
Really liking this so far.
There was another relatively recent game that did a similar thing where it started distorting music near the end of combat or something? Am I thinking of RE 2 or The Evil Within 2?
Edit: It's been a long ass time since I played Alan Wake. I might actually just be thinking of that.
