Control Resonant

good to see at least a few studios not relying on Unreal Engine...Control Resonant is powered by the studio's proprietary Northlight Engine technology, originally used in 2016's Quantum Break and all of Remedy's latest releases since then
 
Alan Wake 2 was quite demanding with ray tracing but it did look nice. I expect this to be quite demanding as well. Without ray tracing it will probably run fine.

Funny how all recommend specs are using presets that are upscaling from 1080p or lower. The game must be resource hog if it is that heavy on the GPUs. Those upscaling settings are pretty bad, outside of 4k performance, which is normally usable but not great.

DLSS would be using the following:
  • 1080p quality -> 1280x720p native
  • 1440p balanced -> 1485x835p native
  • 4k performance -> 1920x1080p native

The first game was also a resource hog. I can barely tolerate dlss upscaling on quality preset, no chance I'll ever touch a game on performance preset.
 
This is a GOTY nomination but it won't win because of GTA6. It might win most innovative or best Story GTA is like dropping your cellphone then going to the gas station nothing new.

GTA6.

Rockstar tends to release their games late Nov-Dec, after the qualification period has ended for nominees. GTA6 probably won't be at any major game awards this year, it's release date will most likely qualify for the 2027 awards.

It doesn't seem like Remedy is going to fumble the ball here all told best I can gauge.

It's hard for me to believe Control came out back in 2017. It seems more recent than that. It's hard for me to say "no" to Remedy so I'm in.

EDIT: 2019 not 17

It is hard to believe, because it's not true :D

It came out in 2019 and was one of the first RTX games.

I'm very skeptical about resonant, and the legacy media liking it makes it even more suspect.
 
Can't wait for the repack on this one. Looking forward to playing.

Whoops you're right. Not sure where the 7 came from. Even at that rate... feels like it came out more recently. Time has flown by.

I understand the skepticism... "So far" I feel like Remedy has earned benefit of the doubt but if they blow it yikes we will all know about it. I sure hope not.
 
The first was was of my favorite recent/overall games - It's like X-Files but you also run around and collect files like Resident Evil, while flying like in your dreams 😁

I didn't get to play it until 2022 even though I had it since 2019 because I sold my 2070 Super in 2020 before PC Apocalypse 1 and wasn't able to get a 3060ti, and then @MSRP, until years later 😡 Was worth the wait though cause how good it was and I was able to max the game out @ 1440p then with RT and all - even went back and did all the missed side quests and everything 👍

A new graphics update hit the first game last year with more with more demanding settings also 🧐
 
excellent review!

I strongly recommend: Control Resonant (Review)

"In the years to come no one will give a fuck about the game's shortcomings and Control Resonant will simply be remembered as a groundbreaking, genre bending work of originality, imagination and technical wizardry the likes of which doesn't come along very often"

Yeah... no. I will say it technically looks good and I assume it will be a decent game in its own right. But ground breaking and genre bending? Please, it looks like most action adventure games out there from a gameplay standpoint.

Why is that good to see?

I do think UE5 has some problems, the newest builds seem to make shader stutter less of an issue according to the patch notes. Most UE5 games have stuttering issues and I do think it is a combination of bad optimization on developer's part but also the engine being hard to make run smoothly. It is a good engine in most ways and versatile without a doubt, but it is good to see alternative engines out there IMO. Whatever Space Marine 2 uses is a good example, it generally runs good with very little stutters.

UE is being over-used in gaming nowadays and it usually comes with a lot of performance issues...I want to see developers use Snowdrop, CryEngine etc...even the Remedy games use their own proprietary Starlight engine

What exactly are this issues that are overcome?

I have never seen these stutters.
 
I read on Steam preload is today something I used to worry about two months ago. I have vacation for two weeks after this week plan on playing this game in the cycle. I haven't had that much Vacation off since the remod in 2022.
 
what the actual fuck remedy....
they pushed a day1 hotfix, which means the 93gig preload was for nothing and everyone has to redownload the whole 93gb again. steam servers are getting absolutely slammed, download speed sits at 3,5mb/s. everyone is fuking livid, rightfully so.

you cant actually handle this any worse for a game this size. unbelievable.
12 hours left on the download. there goes the fucking day off i took for this

Sounds like something wasn't done right as this was solved by Steam more than a decade ago with Witcher 3's patches causing Steam to introduce differential patching, where the playerbase only has to download the few MB in difference between files for their game patches.
(For those that remember Witcher 3 had like a 9GB patch almost every day after release causing complaints as the actual change were small but Steam had you download the whole file again back then)

That's what the smaller depots are for when differencing is used. Seems not all of the devs are aware of this finely established feature.
 
yeah, pretty bad oversight. cant be having that on launch day. the games gonna get review bombed, but also will surely recover in time.
 
game is great so far. had two crashes, but after updating drivers its been smooth.
combat is chaotic, not sure i picked the right combo of skills, but it works so far. second boss was way harder than the first.
 
Def want this game.. Waiting for sale / patches tho... since its Single Player.. I can't wait..
