Nag Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Should've been Quantum Break 2...😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Control was such a good game I'm glad they're doing another, I'll definitely get it (although 505...). But I'm happy to wait a few years for it, I rinsed the first one and have a Steam Deck playthrough on the go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maryokutai Posted February 28, 2024 Share Posted February 28, 2024 Some good news for a change, Remedy has acquired the rights to the Control IP:Â https://investors.remedygames.com/announcements/remedy-entertainment-plc-inside-information-remedy-acquires-full-rights-to-the-control-franchise-from-505-games/ Â In a vacuum this is already a good thing, but considering they're building their own shared universe now this probably also removes some possible license headaches/roadblocks going forward.

Maryokutai Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 More good news: Remedy is working together with Annapurna for both Control 2 financing and potential TV/movie adaptations of Control and Alan Wake: https://www.remedygames.com/article/remedy-and-annapurna-announce-a-strategic-cooperation-agreement  They do point out that Control remains their IP and that they're also the publisher of Control 2, so Annapurna really just seems to be there to drop some money in the bucket (and help with the movie thing). I think this might finally be a good pairing, after some of their less-than-optimal experiences with Microsoft, 505 and Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 29, 2024 Share Posted August 29, 2024 Really excited about Control 2. It’s one of the few games I’ve played which is truly elevated by M&KB and after playing it on PC like that my estimation has gone way up. + Alan Wake 2 is not a great playing game, but they have so many cool ideas with story, genre and wild, twisting fun-horror if they can bring some of that to a game that plays like Control? Boom  Hopefully the TV deal doesn’t mean it has to be part of the game like Quantum Break, though 😓 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 Apparently this is an action RPG. That's an interesting designation. I guess the original was sort of an action RPG but I wouldn't have described it like that necessarily.  https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:4nci4ly3xu3nau7hzr373bte/post/3lbch2m27ot2a?ref_src=embed  One thing I really love in both Control and Alan Wake 2 is the exploring. Their worlds are so detailed and a really well considered art direction, I'm really looking forward to seeing what this looks like. Just hope that action RPG is describing that we will have to put a lot of thought into character builds and interactions with the world and NPCs, and not that we'll be getting purple loot. Remedy have more sense than that hopefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 I'd happily just take more of the same tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maryokutai Posted November 19, 2024 Share Posted November 19, 2024 Same here, just maybe without the 80% damage rockets from a mile away. Â But I also think Remedy won't turn this into a Borderlands-like or an over-the-shoulder Diablo. They're not really the kind of studio that's mindlessly chasing trends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
