UPDATE: E3 2018 Control Impressions
Control – Reminds me of Infamous Second Son. From the developers of Quantum Break, this game was super interesting and might be one of the best games of the entire show. The graphics were phenomenal and the combat looked amazing with all the possibilities. Though still early in development, was already extremely polished. Is definitely a game I would love to play!
More Impressions by Hemal Patel –
Quantum Break and Alan Wake developers, Remedy Entertainment, are back with another groundbreaking game which looks visually beautiful and another great concept. We sat down with the team of Control, and saw 20-minute demo of the game. Control’s details are explained where the protagonist possesses some special skills which were shown in the demonstration: shield, telekinesis, dodge and floating/levitation. Some of the skills helps the player to move back and forth between the different areas that were in accessible. The battles have been shown using different control mechanisms, like shields and using environment as a weapon itself.
We don’t have any more details on the game other than showing of female protagonist showing the special skills and being a director of a government Agency called Bureau of Control. The game looks extremely stunning and beautiful so far and hopefully we get to see more details in the near future.
World Premiere Trailer for Remedy’s “Most Ambitious Game Yet” Revealed at Sony E3 Conference Showcases Complex Sandbox-Style World
Internationally renowned developer, Remedy Entertainment, Plc., along with its publishing partner 505 Games, have unveiled their highly anticipated game, Control, previously known only by its codename, “P7.” From the creators of Max Payne and Alan Wake comes Control, a third-person action-adventure game combining Remedy’s trademark gunplay with supernatural abilities. Revealed for the first time at the official Sony PlayStation E3 media briefing in the worldwide exclusive debut of the first trailer, Control is set in a unique and ever-changing world that juxtaposes our familiar reality with the strange and unexplainable.
After a secretive agency in New York is invaded by an otherworldly threat, players will take on the role of Jesse Faden, the new Director struggling to regain Control. This sandbox-style, gameplay-driven experience built on the proprietary Northlight engine challenges players to master a combination of supernatural abilities, modifiable loadouts and reactive environments while fighting through the deep and mysterious worlds Remedy is known and loved for.
“Control represents a new exciting chapter for us, it redefines what a Remedy game is. It shows off our unique ability to build compelling worlds while providing a new player-driven way to experience them,” said Mikael Kasurinen, game director of Control. “A key focus for Remedy has been to provide more agency through gameplay and allow our audience to experience the story of the world at their own pace”
“From our first meetings with Remedy we’ve been inspired by the vision and scope of Control, and we are proud to help them bring this game to life and get it into the hands of players,” said Neil Ralley, president of 505 Games. “We believe this is going to be another major hit for both our companies, on a bigger scale than ever before.”
Control will arrive on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Steam for PC in 2019. To register for more information and regular updates, please visit www.controlgame.com.
