I played it at PAX East. One big thing I dont see mentioned is the environmental destruction. It was about as literal of "Matrix hallway scene" as Ive ever played in a game.
EDIT: Also the "only one gun thing" isnt really true. Its gameplay functions as multiple guns exactly how you would see in any other game (pistol, magnum, shot gun, assault rifle), its just that visually its a "single" gun

Every time I see a new video of this it looks more and more like something I'll definitely get day 1. It being kind of a metroidvania and having super hidden sidequests with bosses sounds legit.
How so ? Death Stranding gameplay reveals so far was the blandest thing I've ever seen recently .
We'll speak about that after the game release and we'll see where the consensus land.
I feel like they're both making me incredibly excited for each other. Control is Death Stranding's closest kin in the space of bizarre TPS worlds. It's is looking as experimental for Remedy as Death Stranding is for KojiPro, and plot wise, Remedy knows how to craft intriguing narrative in inventive ways.
KojiPro is certainly better at bombastic promotions, though. Control could use more splash in that department.
I just looked up some previews for Quantum Break and they look very similar to the previews for Control so I am going to wait for impressions but I jump in.
Not in my opinion and especially not when you compare their work to the height of Kojima's productions. I've yet to see something in remedy games that get close to Kojima foreshadowing of our current reality in MGS2 (context/social medias producing closed minded individual) and or about the political stuff of MGS2 and MGS1 (nuclear, false flag, genes, orwellian spying...).
MGS1 and MGS2 are revered for that reason, those games tackled important and meaningful subjects in a disturbing foreshadowing way. I've yet to see that in Remedy games. When it comes to narrative, Remedy games are as safe as you can be.
Remedy doesn't usually do real world commentary, that's true. Alan Wake in particular left me impressed with how it leaves clues and hints throughout, building to a conclusion that's foreshadowed convincingly through events and characters. In general, I think both Remedy and KojiPro bring an element of intrigue that's of high caliber than most.
But with how little we know of both game's plots, my excitement has more to do with how mysterious both games feel and their aesthetic oddities. I do think Remedy has more to prove on the gameplay end, though.
Kojima wasn't afraid to go all-in with MGS1 and MGS2. The rest of his work is tame, but his legacy was already built at this point and that's mainly those two games that made him who he is now. Strong plot and scenario are also what set dumb entertainment and smart work apart. It's still disturbing how MGS2, a mainstream game which was mainly a technological achievement was right on pretty much everything.
Remedy is far from that and they'll never touch MGS2 greatness when it comes to idea, plot, scenario or dialogues. They just make tame stuff for boring people, like many in this industry.
Previews sound very promising.
Thomas Puha will the PC version have native Dualshock 4 support including buttons?

omg..... you're RIGHT
it's not just offices for sure! the oldest house is a very weird place that exists in several different dimensions, so you won't just be going through offices.
for example:
that's still inside the oldest house, but it sure doesn't look like it :D
yeah! that's one of the influences. sam loves that book
you are wrong :D it's gonna be longer than that!
Yeah sure, creating shields out of anything in the environment, teleporting / levitating / hacking enemies and literally using everything around you as a weapon in a skyscraper thats basically its own world sure looks stale compared to grass - forests - cities in the open coupled to frankly horrible gunplay ... from what was shown in Death Stranding's trailer.
Looks good and I loved Alan Wake but I have zero interest in buying the game from the Epic Game store. I may pick up a used copy on PS4 or wait for the eventual Steam release, hard to say at this point.
Awesome! Glad to hear it. Game looks great!omg..... you're RIGHT

...is that actually a possibility? I'll buy it. Turn her gun into a flashlight too, and have the shotgun version be the lantern.
This is the coolest shot I've seen from this game.it's not just offices for sure! the oldest house is a very weird place that exists in several different dimensions, so you won't just be going through offices.

The sky and the cosmos are one.
Can't wait for Control. In fact, it's the first time I've double dipped a preorder (XBX and EGS).
Remedy's output has been consistently impressive ( I love QB, btw) and this one looks like they went full weird mode, which is awesome.
As a side note, vidaisonline and Thomas Puha, you've been doing an amazing job promoting the game.

yeah there's no need to do that tbh - both death stranding and control are gonna be very weird games, but the people from kojipro are friends of the studio and we're all hyping each other up and pumped for each other's games :D honestly every time kojima tweets something nice about control or wears the control shirt we gave him, we get excited like it's the first time
I personally think death stranding is going to be DOPE and I'm really excited to play it. it'll be interesting to compare its brand of weird to our own remedy brand of weird. but anyway let's get back on topic
nah the game doesn't have different modes of difficulty to pick from. we're designing the game to be challenging, but obviously balancing is the trickiest thing to do right, so we're doing our absolute most to make it really really enjoyable and fun for people to play. all of us here play games, too, so!
definitely not for launch ahaha! but she does have different outfits in the game! there's such a thing as being TOO navel gazey and self-referential sometimes but I'm honestly in love with the idea... I wanna see jesse wear alan's hideously bad early 00s fashion. the hoodie AND the suit AND the jacket WITH the elbow patches. that'd be class
ahh that's really great to hear, thanks so much for the support and kind words!! this one's definitely, DEFINITELY weirder than quantum break was :D
I think I prefer this over the future man UPS delivery gameplay I saw in that trailer.
I agree, I love both companies and I will enjoy playing both games.
Futuristic/paranormal TPS releasing around the same period which are attempting at creating something quite similar.
It's quite normal to compare the offers, nothing to be overly defensive about.
I mean, ok. I think they look like completely different games. Sure ive seen some floating people in both games but whatever. I think they will both be great in their own ways and I can't wait for both.
And I think one will completely overshadow the other. To each their own.
That's for the better in my opinion. Metal Gear Solid (PSX) pushes other studios to ramp-up their story-telling, cinematic efforts and overall plot. I think Death Stranding will do the same for the industry, it will push other studio to improve their overall package.
What a strange way to think. Is it a competition for you for some reason? when both devs love each others work, but your there on the sideline hoping one "overshadows" the other. Very weird.
Any chance you two can take this to PMs?
Anyhow, vidaisonline's crazy screenshot - wow! Didn't know the game was that out there in terms of visuals - but that's enough to sell me. To pre-order I go!

I was very interested in this game when the first previews were released, but I am very disappointed in the exclusivity deals. We were finally about to get a Remedy game with no ties to platform holders, but then the deals were made.
PC gets double-screwed here with both Epic exclusivity AND PS4 timed exclusive DLC. Makes me wait for a GOTY/complete edition before jumping in.

i cannot wait for this one, i loved alan wake to death and max payne on the ps2 blew my mind at the time
I was rewatching the Visual FX stream and the destructibility of environments is staggering - the Remedy team really is a wonder. So many broken bits of concrete, little particles flying everywhere, feathers dusting off couches, videos from projectors still playing upside down - a complete marvel. Super impressed by everything this game is shaping up to be, so hype that it's coming so soon!
Yeah not necessary to keep comparing this to Death Stranding. Both look great but they're totally different games with different focuses.
That said, this is my most anticipated game this year. Love Remedy's shooting, and really excited to see them go all-out in lore and storytelling as well. Brad from EZA said what he played made it his favourite Remedy game already. Can't wait!

Can't wait. Probably gonna move my preorder over to the PSN version for the extra story content since I love that stuff, even though I usually buy physical.
He sounded pretty excited to me, particularly seemed like he loved how it played/how it felt to play.

I'm really glad to see so many positive impressions. I was blown away by the reveal trailer and now I'm even more hyped.
Can't wait to buy it launch day!

Hah that's cool, noticed in the preview videos they have Martti Suosalo playing the janitor Ahti. Really surprised to see him in a game, but hopefully it's a meaningful part!
That's a teaser alright. I'm so into this game, but wanting to tip toe around it at the same time.
