Will get on day 1 for sure. The original was great. Maybe the gameplay wasn't amazing in every way, but I fucking love SCP and similar stuff. Bring on more weird shit!

I feel like all the people complaining about "no story" have very low attention spans and poor imagination. Didn't you guys read any of the journals, do the side missions, etc? That stuff really expands upon the organization, the House, and all the weird shit that's going on there. It's rather well realized. There just aren't flashy cutscenes every five minutes.

It has a story, one that I enjoyed quite a lot, actually I love that type of stories and the tone... I just wish they stop putting everything into long paragraphs this time, I liked reading them but at one point or sometimes I just wanted to keep on the flow of the game and it broke it
BTW, this announcement was more anti-climatic than oil exploitation, it was like a non-announcement because I swear it was already announced some time ago lol Yet I'm happy to see it

First game was neat, but lost me in a number of ways. I doubt I'll go back to it, unfortunately. But I'm curious to see how this pans out!

I’m in the same situation. I loved the base game, it was amazing playing it on 2080Ti when it was released but I never touched the DLC…

If it its not a cutscene, its not story teehee.
Control has excellent world building, being in the oldest house while uncovering just wtf happened was engrossing.

Every Remedy game I’ve played is hyped to the moon shovelware.
I am surprised they are doing Alan Wake 2 and this at the same time since the studio can’t make one solid product at a time. Alan Wake 2 looks interesting , but the first one was such a turd it’s hard to get excited.
Control I will say is their best attempt at a good game. The enemy variety was just crap, and the entirety of the games visuals when it comes to environments was beyond dull and boring. If the sequel can improve on these two things while retaining the interesting combat and story, then I’ll bite.

Remedy hasn't made a game as good as Alan Wake 1...since Alan Wake 1. Max Payne games I can't comment on because I haven't played them. I tried to play one last year, and there must be nostalgia glasses there because the controls were horrid and I couldn't play it.

I dont bother with Remedy games. They focus their games on a combo of one part action, one part mystery plot, one part cinematics.
All I know is the cinematics or eye candy bits seem to be the best parts and most PR'ed segments of the game. Which isn't what I look for in games as my priority focus.

you should carry a sign around that says "ignore my video game takes", just so others around you are warned

Could they be spread a little thin or looking for a buyout? They're already working on Alan Wake 2, Max Payne Remake, and now this... how big of a studio are they?
I liked Control. Fun gameplay what I expect from Remedy. Brutalist environments, sparsely populated world, and humanoid but faceless enemies all worked well with the setting, probably saving a lot of dev time.

do not tempt fate do not contrain Wonder Woman's thighs do not do not
Doesnt Remedy have the license to that IP.
Id think they would atleast have begged Epic or 505 to give us a sequel to that game, yeah it sold "poorly" yeah it cost alot (because you made a frikken TV show too).
But its mechanically Remedys best game IMO. And I loved throwing shit around in Control, but Quantum Break just worked once you had all your powers.
Ending it on a cliffhanger was frikken bullshit.
Cut out all the TV show stuff and just make a straight up action game, balance out the powers some more cuz Joyce should have better control of them in the sequel and give us more of that goodness!

It is underwhelming, but I think we have to forgive these, "What, no fanfare?" announcements, with games taking this long to make these days.
This is a publisher contract announcement (rather than Remedy being able to make its own announcement; they could have kept the name off what was being contracted and just let us guess that this was either Control 2 or the Condor project,) and 505 Games is a publicly traded company. It's business, and we gamers just happen to benefit from it, even if not as much as we would like in these privileged times of epic event trailers and marketing hype. This is a game we pretty much knew was coming, and we might get more soon (or not,) so for now, at least we know, plus we got a weird bit of concept art to dissect.

Control UE was great and platted it on PS5 with pleasure. It was also a day one Plus game but I would've bought otherwise.

Alan Wake isn't my thing at all, I just don't get anything that sort of game, but I enjoy Control. Maybe they will consider not changing too much of the formula to cater to hardcore Alan Wake fans.

I know that MS sold back the rights of Alan Wake to Remedy, but I haven't heard if MS sold QB rights back to them.

Could the thread title remove the boogaloo thing. The more unread it the more I cringe.

So I never would have bought this game but PlayStation put it on Plus (with all DLC) for free when the PS5 came out. I loved it so much I played it twice since then. So now when Control 2 comes out I will buy it day 1. Like any good drug dealer, "the first one's free" motto to get you hooked worked.
I have not played Alan Wake but am familiar with some of the lore. I assume the same will happen with this remastered edition. Release it on PS+ before the sequel and bring in a whole new audience.
Also, Control ended on a cliffhanger. I'm not going to spoil it for those who haven't played it but her brothers story is unfinished & will be curious to see where this goes in her new leadership position.

It's only going to be for the PS6 and Xbox Whizbang?
Nah but current gen only is great, hope it really leans into everything they can do then especially SSD stuff
