The main plot becomes more easy to understand but the game invests most of its appeal in mysterious spookiness, it's going for the Twin Peaks thing a bit.
wtf. so not only did i pay 20 bucks in the sale only for the game to be free with ps+. Now i cant even play the ps5 version at all. LOL what a fail this has been so far^^
edit:
are you from germany? thats what the support said on twitter:

Damn, I accidentally stumbled onto a spoiler, when I was googling for the different outfits, and how to unlock them.
Is this a story-ruining spoiler?

The Asynchronous Suit will allow Jesse to dress up as her Hiss-corrupted mirror counterpart.
that's related to a side mission, no bearing on the main story
Good to know. Thanks. Although, I was hesitant to see what's inside the spoiler tags, without any idea of the content. ;)
When I played this first on ps4, I dropped the game at the first boss tomassi but now I took care of that dude on my first try. Did they nerf him or is playing this at 60fps making it that much easier? Lol
I bought the PS4 UE as well during the sale, but I did manage to download the PS5 version. Perhaps it worked for me because I was pretty early, before the game was published on PS Plus (the previous month games were still there at that time).
I managed to get it through the website. I think I went to My Library and Recent Purchases. Clicked on the game and from there went to the store page, which then had a download link for the PS5 version.
505 Games comment on this:
at least they know about it now. Lets see how long it takes to fix this.
I think I have to play this at 60fps. I tried playing it in the other mode and it just gave me really bad headaches. It's nothing to do with the framerate since I played and beat the game on a base PS4 last year, so it must be a graphical effect it adds. 🤔
I play it in quality mode for the sweet PS5 ray tracing and somehow I really love how the photo mode ups the resolution and maybe even the graphic settings a bit? and also runs in 60fps with ray tracing on. Some maybe don't like that it's not really accurate to what you see in gameplay, but Jesus Christ does it allows you to make fantastic screenshots.
I wish there would be some exploit to end the photo mode but actually staying in that setting, that would be interesting. 😛

The mysteriousness is a major part of the game. It's also quite silly and not to be taken too seriously, but the tone pretty much remains the same through the game.
The game is a joy to play on the PS5 at 60fps. The haptics really add a lot for me as well. The phomp sound and haptics as you pull in an object is amazing. I'm constantly running around pulling stuff.
I managed to finally finish my work last night at eigh, put the kids to bed and finally try Control.
I like it. Only about 1 hour in but I really like the atmosphere. I had been playing Ghost of Tsushima while it downloaded and it was a bit jarring playing at 30fps for about 30minutes but I needed that ray tracing. I'm glad I waited to play this. Spooky games are just better on a couch IMO.

I spent many attempts trying to throw stuff at him, then realised it's best to just use a pillar for cover and take pop shots at him whilst dodging his throws.
I wish aiming in Control wouldn't feel like absolut trash with a controller. I never have any problems with playing first or third person games, but controlling the camera and trying to hit things here feels like an anomaly. It feels so shit and I can't hit enemies.
Anyone with a good setting to make it feel better?

I experienced eye strain yesterday with the quality mode. I'll try the performance mode today to see if it's the same.
I gather, that all the documents being glaring white doesn't help. Being able to change the background darker should also be included in the accessibility options.
That could be it, yeah. Parts certainly seems a lot brighter than they did before, to the point where I can actually see rings around the Board when they show up. That definitely wasn't there last gen. Maybe that's what's doing it. I should try lowering the brightness.
Yes, and the places the lore & story go are spectacular. For now, you are just as new to the Federal Bureau of Control as Jesse is. You can't expect to learn things any faster than she can other than interacting with others and reading documents scattered about.
I may try the same, but the problem is that the darker rooms are already so dark it's nearly impossible to see anything there.
Played about an hour yesterday. I beat the game on One X when it came out, but I will happily play through it again at 60 FPS. Runs great and looks good. I didn't play the DLC so I am excited to try those out as well.
Do you use aim down sight? I find this game way easier to play without aiming, playing superaggresive by running towards the targets, staying highly mobile. And with unlimited ammo, it's not really an issue if some shots miss. Launch something to lower the shield, blap blap blap blap, launch, and so on. This way the combat becomes more a puzzle of when to attack, juggling stamina and ammo, and when to retreat.
I'm not thoroughly impressed by the graphics, but I'm having a great time. Remedy always produces interesting and quirky games.
To each their own. I absolutely love the game's tone, exploring stuff, and reading files. This really is my cup of tea.

Does the Ultimate Edition support saved files from the OG Control? If yes, how do I make the upload?
I would like to jump on the DLCs only.

Played last night for 90 minutes or so. Was surprised to find the 60fps actually was... pulling me out of the experience a bit? I am normally a 60fps fan over 30, but found that it looked more "gamey" at 60. 30 gave it all a slower, more methodical, almost TV show vibe. The problem is the first boss was impossible to beat at 30. Put it up to 60, wasted him, and then dropped back down.
I like the spooky vibe so far, the

hotel scene was my favourite moment. Realizing it was a puzzle, watching the lighting pour over the character models, and the audio tricks all came together in that scene
The game isn't really Horror or scary imo. Mostly it can be unsettling but it reigns it in with some light humor.
The first DLC is kinda meh but the second one "AWE" is great and a glimpse of things to come with Remedy.
It's good that you can switch back and forth without having to reload. Means there's no downside to changing based on situation (other than having to get used to 30fps again but that only takes me a few minutes).
Started the game in graphics mode but it felt like it started dropping frames as soon as combat started. Changed to performance and haven't looked back.
That's what I'm struggling with right now as well. Finished control on PS4 but so far I can see no way to access my old save file.
played a couple of hours yesterday
very fun so far, i reach the first boss and beat my ass lol
question about the plot
and about jesse

question about the plot
jesse being the new president of the FBC was a lie that she tell or is actually true?
because she is inside the building because "someone" tell her but i saw pictures of her inside the building as the president

the one she is talking to(inside her mind) is me, the player?
I have both an XSX and a PS5 and I am seriously impressed that the PS5 version is so much smaller to download - with almost the exact results. I have really lousy rural internet, so I hope MS can copy/buy/create their own compression system to match whatever Sony is using.
2 hours in and I still don't know what's going on, but I truly enjoy the mysterious atmosphere. It's difficult and confusing for me to navigate the map though, but I'm getting used to it.
I had to turn on assisted mode to enable those 2 additional aiming options. I was getting killed too often because my right stick started drifting, so it was nearly impossible to aim sometimes.
Playing on PS5 using the graphics mode and wow, the game looks stunning. I just wish it wasn't so dark? It's like lightning feels off in some rooms until you walk inside.

Yo the Brutalist architecture in this game speaks to me, holy shit. Reminds me of all the office buildings I'd tag along with my mom to in the 80s when she was working. It's almost comforting, aside from the floating bodies.
not on PS5 but you can on PS4 apparently:
Here's what a 505 Games support rep told a consumer:
Unfortunately, save-data from the base PS4 game isn't compatible with the PS5 Ultimate Edition.
The PS4 base game saves are compatible with the PS4 Ultimate Edition, however. Additionally, the PS4 Ultimate Edition is eligible for the free PS5 upgrade, in which the save data will be compatible.

... wait what?
If you have the base game on PS4 you can download the PS4 ultimate addition and transfer your save > then upgrade that to the ps5 version of the ultimate edition and the save carries over... :?
but you can't go straight from PS4 base to PS5 ultimate edition.
Well i was going to start from the beginning again away

Got to the power plant. When I got here the first time I played it I was already a little put off. I was struggling with the map, dying semi regularly (I swear it was a lot more difficult at launch) and generally was a bit frustrated and dejected.
I'm enjoying it so much more this time around, maybe because I know now what to expect. Without those nagging frustrations I'm fully able to be get in the vibe of it.

Hey fellow german peeps. It's working now.
You need to buy the update for 0,25€ because of the dumb way Sony understands our laws.*
But it works now.
*only Sony does it this way. Xbox, windows store, gog, epic store, uplay, steam, eshop, etc. Magically don't need the hoops Sony is asking us to jump through...
