tell me how is it max payne expect it's the same studio, because it litteraly look nothing max payne
I think Psi-Ops is closer to what Control is.
Second Sight didn't entirely focus on stuff like telekinesis or physics, it did a number of other things and also focused more on telling a (what I think is) good story. Psi-Ops focused more on gameplay and using physics powers.
Nice highlights. Two points that stand out big:
- Game is 'not linear at all'
- 80% of puzzles can be solved on first encounter, rest would require coming back with more skills
Cool to see Remedy go heavy on an open level style of play. The puzzle aspect bodes well for the metroidvania style of play without being excessive back tracking for others.
Shame about no new game plus to at least carry over some upgrades.
Just read the digital issue, couldnt hold back the hype, first GI magazine ive bought; lots of interesting tibits inside, im expecting GOTY material, Remedy got something good cooking and they're keeping most surprises close to their chest. Hey Thomas Puha i hope the info on DLC means you guys will sell a Digital Deluxe with a season pass, i want to give you guys all my money straight away LUL.
The more I see and hear of the game it reminds me of Remedy's video game take on Blame! with the gun, the single location that keeps shifting etc. Needless to say, it looks fucking brilliant and knowing Remedy, it's gonna play like a dream.
It's also very interesting that they have no difficulty modes. I was initially very disappointed in Alan Wake, especially coming from Max Payne 1 + 2 but once I went back and played it on Nightmare, it became one of my most cherished memories of last generation. I hope Control is at least similar to Hard difficulty in that it makes you use all the tools at your disposal.

I guess the idea is that you keep playing on the same save even after finishing, there are optional sidequests and theres a mode called Expeditions which showed up on the Announcement trailer description on Playstation channel which gave me a vibe of Chalice Dungeons, they havent talked about it yet.

That sounds really appealing if you can just continue exploring and fighting through some challenge areas. Feels like they could go anywhere with the surreal nature of the environment.
So it would seem there might be some bad blood between Remedy and Microsoft based on a question in here. GI asked him if he wanted to look into the camera and say anything to Microsoft. He said no. GI said you could say anything you want. He said that's the problem. Then he said I'll say thanks for letting us be on your platform. Happens around the 3:50 mark.
It's not surprising or anything given how Quantum Break went down but still found it interesting that he approached it like that.

I'll DM you Remedy's bank account ;) Seriously tho, we are doing our best and the game is really coming together now. More info is coming...
Its an action-adventure, so take that as you will...We do make action games. Suffice to say though, as we've been making the game the past couple of years, we've realized the physics will be playing a bigger part than we originally thought.
Really enjoying the look of the game and excited to have your team doing games on PlayStation again. Can't wait to get Control on PS4.
Alan Wake 2 makes even less for MS after Quantum Break than it did before.
Phil Spencer once said that for Alan Wake 2 to happen, Remedy "has to want to make [it]", which, when combined with how that unfolded (Spencer pausing to carefully phrase his answer and the PR person stepping in to ensure he wouldn't comment further) and the fact Microsoft owns Quantum Break, strongly implies Microsoft would fund the game only if Remedy relinquished control of the IP. I can't imagine those talks went smoothly. Also, Microsoft cancelling the PC version of Alan Wake just a few months before release can't have gone down well (Remedy confirmed about a year later that it had no say in the matter).

I would highly recommend that anyone interested in this game play Quantum Break (if you haven't already). You'll get a good sense of what to expect from Control.
Remedy owns the IP. Remedy now publishes under 505 Games. Alan Wake and Remedy no longer have any affiliation with Microsoft..?
looks amazing. Day 1 purchase
BTW I didn't like playing Quantum Break on PC because of keyboard. I hope the Pro version is good
