Was worried for a moment when they posted zero profits with Alan Wake Remaster. Looks like we getting the Remedy-verse in all its glory.

[SJRB]

Most underwhelming reveal ever, what the fuck.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Especially the corny thread title.

 

[Robb]

Neat, I enjoyed the first game.

 

[Jinzo Prime]

Most underwhelming reveal ever, what the fuck.

They're being frugal, they just took a loss on Alan Wake Remake.

 

[Jennings]

I'm glad to hear about a sequel.

The first game had very dumbed-down repetitive gameplay that got old after 2 hours, but the story was interesting. That seems to be all Remedy is capable of delivering with their games, so I'm expecting more bland gameplay punctuated with interesting story bits. But because I prioritize gameplay over plot and stuff, this will be a "wait for a sale" title for me.

Hopefully the game moves a fuckton of units. Remedy needs a genuine blockbuster.

 

[NightmareFarm]

The destruction physics were already insane in the first game, imagine the scale of it on next gen consoles...

 

[ahtlas7]

Releasing on next, next gen.

 

[marjo]

Control was awesome. Looking forward to the sequel.

 

[SEGA_2012]

Day ONE purchase for me
I love Remedy!

 

[Moses85]

Neat, I enjoyed the first game.

So different is the taste…

 

[oji-san]

Nice! first game was cool, looking forward to the sequel.

 

[jonnyp]

Hope it has a story this time and much better gameplay

 

[ungalo]

Do we know what the budget of the first one was ? I think it was a prowess for a game published by 505, even when the game was recycling itself it was pretty clever.

If there is more money for this one i'm definitely interested.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Hope it has a story this time and much better gameplay

I do not hope it has more story. The story in Control was very convoluted but largely ignorable. I liked that it just felt like a 3D Metroidvania.

I really found the core loop of Control very engaging, I ended up enjoying it a whole lot. Very much down for a sequel.

The first game was basically a AAA game with a AA budget. It only cost $30 million, and they really managed to deliver a lot of quality for that. The new game will be $50 million so a little bigger but not wildly out of scale with that.

 

[Filben]

NIce! Currently playing it for the third time. I just love their approach to game design and narrative. They got me right from the start with Max Payne which I love. Really liked Alan Wake, even more so Quantum Break and now Control.

I wish they would have patched the PC version for DualSense/Adaptive Trigger support. It's brilliant on the PS5, but I don't want to miss RT and the performance on my PC.

For the sequel I hope we will leave the bureau and have some field work to do under the sky.

 

[MDSLKTR]

40fps update to RT mode first please

All I remember is the annoying combat.

[Lucifers Beard]

Meh, not for me but hope that fans enjoy it.

First game was just so fucking boring, I couldn’t make it past the first 20 minutes without turning it off.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Day 1

 

[DenchDeckard]

Give it to me! Day 1 bbe

 

[Fbh]

For some reason I thought they had already announced a sequel, was it just a rumor before?

Either way this is cool. I found the first game disappointing but the franchise does have potential. They just need to expand on the combat (particularly in regards to enemy variety), add more cool sequences like the labyrinth and hopefully learn how to tell a story without having to read through 40.000 documents.

 

[TomFoolery1]

Excited although i never played the first one it looked really cool i just have limited gaming time and have to pick and choose , i will play it before this one comes out

 

[Brigandier]

Loved the first. I'm in

 

[Evil Calvin]

Which consoles?

 

[Pagusas]

Most underwhelming reveal ever, what the fuck.

Well Control was one of the most underwhelming games in recent history, it fits.

 

[adamsapple]

Control is one of my favorite games of the PS4/XBO gen. I'm all in day 1.

 

[Punished Miku]

I didn't hate the first one. I just nearly fell asleep playing it.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I felt more like a Jedi in Control, then Fallen Order.

I’m down with more.

Honestly have the same issue with their games. Solid gameplay, but not enough variety in it to carry the game and the story has to pick up the slack. I didn’t even finish Control and lost interest half way through.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Is one of my favorite games.

 

[Shubh_C63]

I LOVE this game.

It's not open world thank god and yet has things to explore more than any of them. Graphics are stellar, story/dialogues is serviceable, combat is fantastic. I can't wait.

 

[H . R . 2]

Control was a decent albeit sleep-inducing game. 6 hours in and nothing special or particularly memorable ever happened.
just my opinion but it felt like a project made from the scraps and leftover animations/mechanics of QB
but I have every confidence that they will listen to players' feedback and shake things up a bit.

also Max Payne

 

[crackajack]

Most underwhelming reveal ever, what the fuck.

yeah right. A tweet is the announcement? oO. Not even a trailer.
I guess not every game needs to be part of some bigger presentation where it may even get buried, the cringe gameawards might be something to avoid but still better than this. Marketing guys really seem to not care about making any splash recently.

 

[adamsapple]

Most underwhelming reveal ever, what the fuck.

This is more for their investors that they've secured the deal.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Good to hear. Now get started on the Quantum Break sequel.

 

[adamsapple]

Good to hear. Now get started on the Quantum Break sequel.

I'll even settle for an FPS boost patch ..

 

[Vindicator]

Control 2: Controller

 

[Swift_Star]

The first one was, ultimately, very boring and repetitive... Maybe the sequel will improve on it?

 

[skit_data]

Feels like Remedy have a lot on their table atm, I hope we see these games release sooner rather than later.

 

[GustavoLT]

it will be a good benchmark app for the RTX 5090 and 8900XTX! (I predict 40-50 fps 4K no upscaling)

 

[Robb]

So different is the taste…

Sure, I wouldn’t call it my favorite game or anything. But a sequel has a lot of potential imo. I love the Fringe (tv-series) mystery vibe they’ve managed to capture.

 

[amigastar]

50 € Millions. Thats still a lot of money when you think about it. I hope they make the most out of it.

 

[Roxkis_ii]

I'm actually super hype for this. I really enjoyed the first game. First game I played off ps+ that I bought.

 

[Black_Stride]

We eating boys!

These guys are gonna be working overtime.
But atleast theyve secured a bunch of funding for a while.

Alan Wake 2 - Epic.
Control 2 - 505 Games.

 

[AJUMP23]

I look forward to playing this on Gamepass.

 

[Roufianos]

They need to take it easy. Aren't they also working on something for a Chinese entity, Alan Wake 2 and Max Payne remakes? Hone your focus in.
