[Wallace Wells]

That's bullshit.

 

[TheJackdog]

thats pretty shitty, IMO

 

[cantbebothered]

Welp. Not buying it

 

[Rodrigues solitaire]

Is there a small update from regular to Ultimate fee at least?

 

[MrAlderson]

So i just purchased the season pass for nothing lol

 

[Trieu]

Hmm weird. Would that mean that they are working on a more sophisticated update patch for Control or is it greed?

 

[Possum Armada]

Not supporting companies who pull that shit.

 

[hey it's that dog]

Nice. Release a game that doesn't work right on current gen, charge again for working version.

 

[Razgriz417]

whats ultimate edition? It's not part of the season pass/digital deluxe?

 

[LewieP]

Strong bid for slimiest corporate sales technique of the year.

 

[Yerffej]

Way to read the room, Remedy. Control was one I was holding off to play on Series X. Not sure now.

 

[Midas]

That's fine.

 

[Greywaren]

That's fucked up. Not a good move.

 

[R dott B]

Wow...

 

[Deleted member 8593]

Would really like to hear the reasoning for this.

All day. Zero interest in supporting nonsense.

 

[Windu]

Well Fuck You too Remedy.

 

[ItsBradazHD]

Jesus thats scummy as hell..

 

[Thiago]

whats ultimate edition? It's not part of the season pass/digital deluxe?

Click to shrink...

A whole new SKU with DLC included.

 

[Aztorian]

Can't I just put the disk in the thing?

 

[bunkitz]

Okay, that is bullshit. The game played poorly on the PS4 and I was waiting for this so I could complete it with better performance. Guess that's not happening.

 

[ghostcrew]

Fucking hell. This isn't great.

It also doesn't support Smart Delivery at all by the looks of it. They talk of an 'upgrade path' and a 'next gen upgrade'. That's not Smart Delivery. That's a one way upgrade.

Smart Delivery would be me being able to buy the game on either console and play it on either console. Sounds like they're releasing a next gen specific version and will offer a one way upgrade to Ultimate Edition owners.

Why

A decision like this would probably be made by the publisher of the game which is 505 Games and not Remedy.

 

[Secretofmateria]

Lol guess ill be buying it on a steep discount then, and probably used. Thats gross

 

[Nugnip]

lol fuck you I'm not paying

 

[LiK]

That is extremely disappointing for fans. I'm not sure why it's exclusive to UE.

 

[SixelAlexiS]

Well, I'm going to get it on Steam anyway but this is some twisted shit... shame on Remedy.

 

[Maxime]

... and thank you for your support folks!

 

[Naga]

Doesn't the Deluxe edition gives you the same content as the Ultimate one though? That's pretty shitty.

 

[Navid]

Shitty on their part... glad I didn't buy it due to the technical issues it had on PS4 now.

 

[Pokemon Master Tim]

Fuck off, Remedy.

 

[LavaBadger]

That sucks.

I strongly doubt that this is Remedy's call as the developer.

 

[NewDust]

So the Ultimate Edition is just a rebadging of the Deluxe Edition, only with the next-gen upgrade path added... Just rebadging is already bad, but this is truly shitty.

Pretty sure this is 505 games making this call, not Remedy.

 

[ILikeFeet]

Not cool

Oh that's true. Sucks.

Fuck off.

 

[MrBob]

Lame, bad customer move.

 

[Tennis]

That's so dumb by them. Change it asap!

Why get your money once when they can get your money twice? But we should totally trust companies when they want to raise prices.

 

[monmagman]

Why?....LOL.
Have been holding out anyway because of base PS4 performance.....but very shitty for others!

 

[Razgriz417]

A whole new SKU with DLC included.

Click to shrink...

...so they're doing the destiny base+dlc new sku thing?

Wow that sucks for even more for season pass and digital deluxe owners

hope it bombs and hits bargain bin for next gen

 

[DavidDesu]

Haha that is shitty.

 

[Broadbandit]

so if you have the game + dlc will it automatically become the ultimate edition?

 

[FoneBone]

you could at least post the source

Control - Discover a World Unknown

After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, you become the new Director struggling to regain Control

controlgame.com

anyway this will go over well

 

[Oneself]

Yuk. I held on my PS4 copy to start playing on PS5... Looks like I'll just sell it and never come back.
