Control: Ultimate Edition |OT| Always Wait to Experience

Canceled and deleted PS4 download. Restored licenses and rebooted. Searched for Control Ultimate Edition. 3 dots menus still don't give PS5 option. Started download- it's PS4 again. Search again while it was already downloading. Control Ultimate Edition page shows a Download button even though it's already queued. I click it. It's trying to download normal version of Control PS4 now.
I cancel/delete the normal version, and suddenly the PS4 version of Ultimate restarts itself from scratch and it APPEARS to be the PS5 version? Clear as mud.
So I guess my advice is download it over and over on top of itself a bunch and just cancel and delete any 'normal' versions of control in the Downloads screen and cross your fingers. It shows as 25GB now so it's definitely different from the PS4 version before. ALSO: I'm in the US.

If it's a first party Microsoft game, chances are it'll be supported. Other publishers support it as well, The Division 2 just got a free update. AC Valhalla, and others I'm too lazy to google.
First time playing Control, glad I waited for the PS5 version. The game looks really good and the story is interesting so far.
And that doesn't change the fact that you don't have to download the PS4 version. If you are in the US, or any or the other regions in which the PS5 is confirmed to be available, then I suggest trying the web store.
They are great. Resistance feels good when shooting and running around has subtle haptics, similar to Astro's Playroom. Haptics are great when pulling and throwing objects, too. One of the better implementations of the DualSense.
If you're having trouble downloading from the PS5|PS4 option on consoles, maybe check your library on the web and filter by PS5 to see if the individual client is there? Aside from Germany, which seems to be in a fucked state atm with that darn disc upgrade lock.
Try searching on the store for Control and if there are any results that have a download button, even if it looks like PS4, click it. It might switch to downloading the PS5 version like it did for me.
Also: once my PS5 version finished, when clicking the options button while hovering on the icon itself it has a menu for PS4 or PS5 version. That wasn't present until the download actually finished. Think the way this game was converted from PS4-only to a PS4/PS5 game on the PS5 store itself got all wacky because this is not as easy and simple as it was for other games that have dual versions. At least in my experience.
something is wrong with jessies animations on ps5. the jump and run animation are skipping frames of animation. i loaded up the x1x version and it does not have those problems.
i hope they can fix it. you run all the time and since i noticed the stutter in her run, it really annoys me.

lg b9. but there is no 120 hz option active. i finished the ps4 pro version on that same tv months ago and the animations were fine.
I agree. It's very well implemented, and I too was reminded of Astro's footsteps and jumps.
Can you (or anyone else) tell me if you've noticed how DS has this sort of mechanical whir every time the adaptive trigger system is engaged and disengaged? I haven't noticed this before in Astro, and I'm not sure if it's normal, and Astro was covering it with controller sounds, or if I should be worried?
In Control basically any time I do the melee force-push with triangle, the right trigger stops being adaptive for a moment, and then it becomes adaptive again being ready to shoot the weapon. Every time this happens controller makes this whirry sound.
Yes this is regular behavior. Immortals Fenyx Rising is notorious for this.
I see. So at least it is normal and nothing to worry about.
Yeah, I noticed it there in the new demo also! When shooting the bow they do some weird things with triggers which hardly make sense to me.
*edit* OK, I just read that what they do is supposed to simulate the flutter of the bow after it fires the arrow. Should have used haptics for that IMO, not the trigger.

Slightly offtopic then since it's about triggers. In Astro the right trigger always has feedback, the left one does not... Is that normal? :P
I noticed it when swinging around in Miles Morales. The weird thing is, that it's definitely less noticeable with my other DualSense controller.
I mean...I just downloaded only the PS5 version, so I don't know what to tell you. The PS5 interface is a wonky pile of shit though.
Edit: To be clear, I do believe you. I think there's been times when I wanted to download only the PS5 version of a game and couldn't without downloading the PS4 version as well.
When you are flying the rocket or move in the monkey suit for example, both triggers should have equal adaptive tension and feedback.
I mostly can hear it engage and disengage. I can't really feel the controller shake when this happens or anything like that. I probably wouldn't even noticed this if Control doesn't for some reason disengage/re-engage the trigger every time you press triangle.
I finished the campaign on the original vanilla release on Xbox One. I nabbed the Ultimate Edition when it was on sale in Black Friday, thinking I could just transfer my saves and experience the DLC content right after (didn't even cost me anything extra thanks to re-selling the original version).
I only just found out now that saves don't transfer over. Goddamit.
Anyway, now I have the Ultimate Edition on box Series X and PS5 (courtesy of PS+), so since I have to start over either way, I wanted to know which version is overall better in regards to performance, features, etc. I imagine the PS5 version would be more immersive with the dualsense, but I wanted to know if there was a big difference in visuals?
Also how far into the campaign do you need to go in order to access the DLC?

Foundation is post-ending, AWE is after the 7th(?) main mission.
I guess I would amend my protip then to maybe ignore them when you're not in the mood to read, but if you feel like you want to do a "codex day" or something and just read some lore it's there for you. No reason to force yourself to do something you don't want to do or breaks the flow.
Thanks, definately something not right then. Already had some issues with my DS being extremely sensitive on it's sticks in many, many, maaany games so I really do wonder if there's just something wrong. I did not have those issues on my DS4 / PS4. Especially shooters are hard to play.
Playing it for the first time here on PS5 and Series X. So far on PS5 I'm into the performance mode. Yes RT mode looks better but damn it's so sluggish comparatively.
Does anyone know if the vibrations on the DualSense is something new for PS5 or was that vibration in the original PS4 game?

Yeah I feel like back in early PS5 days I was in your position. Everything was easy peasy but some were simply unable to get it to work right now matter what instructions they followed like me.
Hopefully that's something they fix soon considering there are big crossgen games on the Horizon.
Thomas Puha vidaisonline Is it possible to investigate adding all of the missing outfits (pre-order outfits, astral dive suit) to the next gen versions via a patch?
To me it doesn't make sense that the previous gen standard edition with season pass has more content than the next gen Ultimate Edition.
It seems like it would be a nice PR win for minimal effort.

Series X has the same problem, it looks awful especially if you jump straight up.
It's new, you didn't get the vibrations when Jesse runs, for example. And if they were just the rumble from the PS4 game it would probably feel a lot buzzier.
I'm usually okay with sacrificing framerate for enhanced visuals as long as the framerate is solid. This is one of those games that just looks extra awful at 30 frames though, camera movement and blur look gross and juddery, switching over to 60 frames completely eliminated that problem. It's a shame though because with RT on it looks significantly different to the game I played first time around, without it it mostly just looks the same but cleaner (and at an actual good frame rate).
So, playing this for the first time, I've like 30mins into the game, and I just have one question:
What are those voices?
Why Jesse appears to be talking with herself?

I mean, you're just 30 mins into the game and you expect everything to be revealed? This is what you're supposed to uncover by playing the game.
I'm really surprised at these takes. The story is really not that complex, why do you hate not knowing everything from the start?
You can play AWE long before hitting the end game, but I think it makes more sense if you finish. Foundation does require that you finish the game first.
I'm experiencing frequent crashes on the Series X, whenever some interface overlay is going to happen.
A few examples include:
–Trying to zoom in on a correspondence file I'd just collected;
–Just after talking with Marshall for the first time, when I believe a "New Objective" text was going to pop up;
–When a Bureau Alert was going to pop up;
–When I tried entering the Options menu mid-game to adjust some settings;
–Literally when I tried looking at the map.
These crashes have been happening at random and I'm constantly expecting them whenever I need to look at the map or open the menu. Haven't lost any progress, thankfully, but reboot the game over and over is frustrating, no matter how quick it is.

Was it you explaining that crazy problem with Cyberpunk deadzone, that sounded like it messed up the controller globally? If that was you, I think your controller might have some problem with electronics. Especially if one of the triggers is also not working right. I'm curious, can you try resetting that controller, and then pair it with some other PS5? Just to try and eliminate any possibility of some software mess-up.
You can adjust the trigger strength in game's control settings. You can also adjust the strength of this functionality globally (or disable it completely) in the PS5 controller settings.

Nah, wasn't me. It does feel like software problem indeed. I can't recall having many issues before that console + controller firmware update early december (?) and when I still had my DS4 it acted the way I was used to so I really started to notice it later on when I got rid of the DS4 and Pro.
It's really odd. I went through 400 PS4 games to test and record the BC and in some videos you can actually see me struggle quite a bit with the controls so it looks like I mess up on intend for the lulz but I am not. I am not good at shooters, not at all, but it shows of really well there. Or in Assetto Corsa / NFS games where one twitch just made me spin already, it makes things unplayable.
... But it doesn't happen in all games. Which is the oddest part.
I started this earlier on PS5, it's fun though a bit weird at times. Certainly a lot of Metroid Prime vibes, though it doesn't feel like a Metroidvania game. I'm playing on Fidelity mode, looks really nice, though 60 fps felt very smooth and it was overly tempting at first, but I liked seeing the ray traced reflections, the Oldest House lobby seems like a great bait for rt. Also, loading speeds feel insanely fast, really impressive.
