Yeah I'm tossing up between the X and PC version, I'll wait until DF is done with their coverage first.

Yeah I'm tossing up between the X and PC version, I'll wait until DF is done with their coverage first.
Preordered. This game looks super good and I'm always down to support creativity even if it turns out to be under baked.
As I keep saying, our very own Buy/Sell/trade thread has the game going for around $15-$20, or you could go to r/steamgameswap and get it there for $15, there's a lot of nvidia codes out there, you just have to look for them.
I also have our review here as well. No spoilers and I'm speaking from the perspective of somebody who is familiar with their entire history.
Gave it a 9/10.
Also in the comments I pinned another video of no commentary 4K, Ray Tracing gameplay for those who want to see that.

I played days gone just fine on my base ps4. There were some fps dips in very populated areas but it was perfectly playable
Just gotta finish Telling Lies so I can start this tomorrow. My 2080ti is ready to take me to raytracing Valhalla
Good game but all the charm of the game is based on its RT effects. I don't have a PC with RTX GPU so I can't play it that way. I hope the game will get next-gen update and add those RT effects.
What
The game is getting 9/10 left and right, what were you expecting?
Once again, I'm torn on whether I should go PS4Pro or XB1X - PS4 exclusive content worth it? XB1X have meaningful performance advantage over the Pro?
The PS4 exclusive content is really weird to me - 1 side mission for instance, but its exclusive to the digital deluxe version so not all PS4 players get it?

I was thinking this but after playing RPG's, I'm so burned out of big open world games. A good story and good gameplay I can get through in a week is all I want out of gaming right now.
Next gen probably starts end of next year also, that's so far away to wait ;-(
Jesus christ, so wait, the exclusive stuff for PS4 actually IS full exclusive and not timed? I could swear Remedy said it would be timed. This shit needs to fuck right off asap.
Doesn't look like your average third-preson shooter. Combat seems to resemble Infamous Second Son's, slightly, in that hipfire/run and gun is actually viable.
Quantum Break ended up with 77 MC if I remember right and this doesn't look that different.
Looks like it's settled on 81 MC at the moment, so similar scores. 4% better than Quantum Break!
Good enough for me. Are there any glaring issues with the PC version? Currently have xbox one X preordered, but considering switching to EGS as much as I preferrably want the game on steam.
Yup, QB is sitting at 77, so 81/82 is fantastic!!
We shouldn't ignore that this is a medium budget title and it's Remedy finding their feet on their first independent project. It's a great place to start.
Yeah this was the same in Quantum Break. People who shot from cover in that game were doing it wrong. You were supposed to use you powers in the combat arenas to control the flow of battle while running and shooting.
Exactly! They've been with Xbox One since the start, it really should have a significant advantage over Pro, but somehow I think the difference will be small. It certainly shouldn't be any worse though.
I'm super hyped for this game! Picked up a Control and Wolfenstein Youngblood code off of eBay for $9.99 this morning. It required an RTX card but I'm good to go since I have a 2080ti. It's too bad this game doesn't have a preload. I hope it starts downloading on its own at midnight so the game is ready to launch when I wake up.
there are 2 videos in the planning - one covering consoles perf/visuals + one on the PC version + ray tracing
yeah - crazy GPU bound game. It is doing all the modern stuff + well, a lot more!
Mine rated it a Buy. Sorry it was late.
Also put an edit in the comments when I was talking about my 1080ti testing. Said with and meant without DLSS

It's one side mission for now and two expansions later, everything first on PS4.
They did say it was timed and it won't be for long. They probably can't advertise/sell the future content as part of a deluxe edition on other platforms until the exclusivity window ends.
It's scoring better than Alan Wake and on par with Max Payne 2. I'm not sure what people were expecting if 85 isn't high enough.
I think the most significant thing about Control is the fact that it had a reasonable development schedule. Remedy's biggest problem to date is the fact that before Control, they had released two games and an expansion pack over a 13 year span - and the resulting projects didn't have the quality or scope to justify anything close to how long they took to develop. I know they were aware of that, so it's exciting to see that they developed and released a quality product in three years time.
What?... Your expectations were out of whack then. Its reviewing amazingly well
and with that...I"m out see yah gents
There is a mix of timed (the expansion stuff is PS4 first) and exclusive (themes, avatar, costume dlc and a side mission which is so exclusive its not even on all PS4 copies, only digital deluxe).
Even on consoles? Really imagined that it was because of CPU stuff as the game as a lot of destruction and physics going on and consoles have those horrible CPUs.
You guys might wanna relax ,lol. Just because i expected higher metascore does not mean 82 is bad. lmao. I was not following this games marketing cycle so I have no idea where it would fall in. And whats wrong hoping games would review better??
Review scores have me very interested, and I thought I was going to pick this one up, but I just can't buy into anything with those kinds of framerate issues on the PS4.
When they patch those problems away, I'm in.

To be fair it was Remedy's fault for putting a cover system in the game. I think they learned their lesson this time around.
Dash and the force punch thing ya. I would say though that its not by a large amount. Remembering I didn't love QB. The thing about Control was that you are really hammering power into these few skills and then ya like you said using them and such to sort of combine them and attack opponents.
However once you level up your energy all the way and then add energy mods you can do some crazy shit. I didn't go that way for long. I went with health mods, tons of throw points and tons of control points but didn't throw a ton into the energy itself. So I could hit very hard sometimes and survive a long time but wasnt using powers all the time
Also carrying a person with you like a rag doll is hilarious
I like your attitude. Can we clone you?
And I'm really excited to play this!
