Max Payne 1: released 2001: bullet time
Max Payne 2: released 2003: bullet time
Alan Wake: released 2010: flashlight mechanic
Alan Wake American Nightmare: released 2012: flashlight mechanic
Quantum Break: released 2016: multiple time manipulation mechanics

You laid a nice, steamy shit of a hot take there.  ::)

I assume it's people that have never played a Remedy game.

You're barking up the wrong tree thare cowboy.  :doge

I've beat Max Payne 3 on all difficulties, beat all the time challenge stuff for every chapter, almost completed the no death run time challenge but got killed on chapter 10 or 11. Got to max level in multiplayer with a 2.0 K/D.

I've been awaiting the day for it to become backwards compatible, just so I can show you specifically that you don't need to use the cover system, a critique you yourself have made.  :doge

Yeah Remedy stay fucking winning this game looks dope af

Ontopic Max Payne 3 is dope as fuck but you cant skip any of the cutscenes which make it a shit game to replay

It also doesnt have Steam Cloud Saves, so fuck you if you delete the game

The story is also kinda meh.

But the gunplay is hm,mmmmmmmmmmmmm so good

Max Payne 1 and 2 tower above it from a story standpoint though, and better bullet time mechanics. The reloading during bullet time swirl around in Max Payne 2 is stupid but so fucking awesome. Where you can get an even slower bullet time by performing good during bullet time so it doesn't drain as fast either.

Levels are also wayy better in Max Payne 2, a lot of levels in Max Payne 3 suck.

I like the disco, the office level and the airport. I don't have any strong like for the other levels. The boat level sucks ass.

Crazy to think how Max Payne 2 was kinda considered a bomb by T2??? I didn't know that lmao. Ppl give them shit for QB and AW but in a lot of ways RG has been trying to break from the shadow of MP1's peak for a much longer time than we think...sobering thought.

No matter what your opinion on Max Payne 3 as a game, we should be thankful for its existence because it got Rockstar San Diego to fix up RAGE on PC.

The first game's quick port sold like 2-3 million copies on consoles. So Take Two forecast the sequel port and Mafia's port to do similarly. This was partly the reason they were fine with giving San Andreas an extra year, they expected MP2 and Mafia on consoles to make up for no GTA.

Max Payne 3 is a pretty good TPS. I feel like the gunplay is to the point. Some mechanics are wonky like bullet time and the last standing thing. The story is a little up it's ass and not very pulpy. Still, it's a decent game.

iirc I smeared them but it still felt like a "bad" outcome. I just rebought it on steam and should go through again but I remember most of the choices being pretty destructive to a character's life.  QB takes the "don't fuck with time under any circumstance" approach.

I get the feeling a lot of independent developers are not profitable in the sense that the “business”  doesn’t do much more than just provide enough of a cash flow for everyone to stay working.... unless of course they manage an Uber hit.

I fucking hated Quantum Break (and didn't care much for Alan Wake) but this looks so good.
I don't want to see too much of it, because i'd rather enjoy it when i actually play it, but so far the only reservation is the morphing gun, i get why it's there, from a design stand point, but i always found that idea off putting in games.
And to be honest i'd have appreciated if they went the bold way of removing basic shooting altogether to focus on super powers.

When quantum break was sort of mixed in sales and reception I thought remedy might never make a game that ambitious again. Glad to see I was wrong.

In a lot of ways this is more ambitious (apart from the unnecessary tv show part).

f they just had to make the game I think it would had been much better than having to slot in the movie shit. Judging by this preview I think the game is going to be amazing.

It's another classic post-Max Payne Remedy "style over substance" game.
Here's what I see as major issues from what I've seen in multiple videos:

- You get all those fancy powers, but the very first thing you obtain in the game is an alien gun with infinite ammo and an insane rate of fire that lets you dispatch enemies (95% of them being basic ass bitch grunts with a gun) in under 1 sec. Said grunts drop health recovery stuff like candy.
- Character movement is janky as fuck.
- Enemy AI is complete trash. Gameplay is as subtle as just a shooting gallery (infinite ammo gun doesn't help).
- Camera in close up aim mode is god awful - aiming reticle is behind your character model more often than not.
- Get in a new zone (often with enemies popping in instantly), and they thought it'd be good to have a giant "POWER PLANT ZONE" or whatever text pop-up in your face, covering like 80% of the screen.
- Environments are endless repetitive grey corridors and rooms. The level design being metroidvania-like, it's just confusing, especially because the map is garbage.
- Plot is basically SCP and Lost had a baby.

Basically Sam Lake is still trying really hard to be the European Kojima, but he keeps forgetting that he should focus on tight gameplay first.

Ends with "it has this very like...$40 PS2 game kind of vibe to it, done with like you know- modern convention and production.  It's a bummer that it doesn't run great on every platform."

Remedy makes such great games, it's too bad most if not all of them have been financial flops :(

Personally I think him playing the most of the game on a regular ps4 with plenty of drops and chugging makes him say that more than anything.

Remedy always prefers visual fidelity over performance. On PC, even with ray tracing on it runs very stable if you have the rig for it which is a huge improvement over Quantum Break (which unfortunately got slaughtered in Microsoft's UWP push).
Also, with Quantum Break they released some neat performance patches for the Xbox One version shortly after release so I expect the same thing here.

If you fuckers #cancel Remedy over a few frame-drops you're all dead to me.  :hmph

The frame drops happen because Remedy thought it'd be a great idea to have a metric fuckton of alpha and particles thrown left and right in a fast paced TPS which throws a dozen enemies at you in tiny rooms every other minute.

Because "can't see shit captain" is a great approach to gameplay.

That was not their decision. Had they done Alan Wake 2 when they wanted to do it, It would've ended up as a Kinect Flashlight mini-game but Microsoft never greenlit a sequel.
The sequel to Quantum Break also got binned. That's why they went back to doing their own thing and started with 'Control'. So they could do all the crazy shit they wanted without Microsoft cancelling shit.

They've recently bought back the Alan Wake IP from Microsoft. Plus Control has a lot of influences from Alan Wake already.
If enough people buy Remedy games, Alan Wake will return fairly soon.

Played about an hour and a half this morning.

It’s definitely a remedy game.

Story is good.

Combat is flashy, but very remedy. I tend to think their gameplay is serviceable but never something I would play without the narrative I wouldn’t really feel much drive to play.

Their combat always seems to missing something. I wouldn’t call it bad, but more like it’s just not balanced in a way that makes it super exciting.

Reminds me of Naughty Dog in that sense

The whole "ever-changing labyrinth" aspect of the game has me interested, but it just seems janky and worth waiting for patches/price drops since it doesn't appear to be very popular and probably will end up discounted within a month.

Is this game Epic Store exclusive for six months or is it longer?

1440p DLSS mostly max settings hovering between 65 - 80 FPS.

4K is amazing for Office and videos but I know games are gonna get more demanding as next gen starts so I'm planning to get a 1440p G-Sync monitor.

You could try 1080p, now that Nvidia added integer scaling to the driver (defaults to off, I believe). Would be as sharp as native res, unlike before.

Or use DLSS! Forgot about that one.

So far that ever changing labyrinth thing is just the layout of a room can change when you beat enemies. With 2 hours in, it’s more a stylistic thing than a gameplay thing. I also wouldn’t call it janky really, at least on the Xbox one X.

It seems to run fine. And the destruction is pretty impressive. I can’t really think of another game that has as many elements in its it environment that you can interact with and explode.

Yep. Running at 4K output with DLSS. The game actually lists the render resolution as 1440p with DLSS on. You don't really get an image quality hit cause the game has like 8 million blurry post process effects going on.

Ray-tracing is quite something. When you walk past a framed portrait on the wall and you see the reflection of a TV playing in the other side of the room.
It gives everything a very photo realistic almost non-game look to it. It takes some time to get used to at first but this game has such a daring yet pretty brutalist art direction.
There's nothing that quite looks like it. It's also amazing how the environment plays such a big role in the overall gameplay like it did in Alan Wake. Something that was sorta lacking in Quantum Break.

I get a feeling that like with Resident Evil 4 on the Cube this game is giving us a sort of a sneak peek of what next gen games will look and play like in terms of physics and ray tracing.

It's quite stunning how a 1080p render resolution, upscaled to 4k with DLSS is nearly indistinguishable from the native 4k setting or even the 1440p upscaled setting.
A 2070 Super gives me ~60 fps with all but one ray-tracing effect (debris RT) enabled which is perfectly fine for a story heavy 3rd person action game.
I don't have that stutter that Digital Foundry mentions so maybe that has something to do with the CPU or another part they're using?

This eye candy is why we build these rigs brehs  :rejoice

As for gameplay, the game gets significantly better when you acquire the first 3 powers or so and unlock multiple gun modes.
The areas also seem to become increasingly complex with more puzzle solving and environmental hazards and it opens up fairly quickly for further Metroid-esque exploring and backtracking.

Oh man Control just keeps getting better as you get more powerful and progress further into the FBC.
Which is one of the most awesome environments in any game I've played this generation.

Inception, The Matrix, Fincher, a whisper of Bioshock, Half-Life and Portal 2

This game has everything

Even on Xbox One X, this is close to the most visually impressive game I’ve ever played. It’s quite spectacular.
It certainly is. As far as third person shooters go, the only recent competition is Resident Evil 2 Remake but the materials are on another level of realism and the lighting and vfx particle effects are just insane.
Remedy also did an amazing job integrating the 'real' movie stuff seamlessly into the world and with the facial animations of the characters. The lip sync and expressions are damn near perfect.

The E3 demo of EA's new Star Wars game looked far less dynamic than this. It feels like an early next-gen game. I suppose that with all the ray tracing going on, they might opt to release a ray-traced console version for PS5/Xbox Two.
There isn't a single game with ray tracing implementation such as this. Metro and Battlefield V don't get close. The reflections are much higher res, something I didn't think possible with this gen of RT.

CONTROL is a piece of art. It just looks so damn good and interesting.

There's also a ton to find outside of the main missions. Some of the best content isn't even part of the main story.
Hidden bosses, environmental puzzles and secrets in every corner.

If Nintendo ever wants to get a new 3D Metroid off the ground they should give Remedy a call.

This game really is the Resident Evil 4 of this generation and blows away most other games that tried to accomplish the same but failed.

I'm thinking that it will inspire a bunch of next gen games in terms of story telling, art direction, sound design and shows us what's possible with new technologies like ray tracing that will play center stage in the next generation.
RE4 didn't actually sell that well on GameCube when it came out. I didn't crack a million in its first year. The PS2 port did better but no version of RE4 ever sold more than 2 million copies.

A lot of industry big wigs are praising control and tweeting about it. It's going to have quite an impact. Maybe EA can take some cues to liven up their static as fuck Star Wars game.  :doge

One of the cooler technical aspects of Control is that it finally gave us the kind of destructible environments we were promised for next gen 15 years ago.

Are the SCP aspects just in text filews, or in the actual gameplay too?

Just beat this game and goddamn, it rules. Truly a return to form for Remedy and I didn't even dislike Quantum Break.

Best part was the Ashtray Maze.

Does that end up as part of the story? I found it and just sort of gave up after walking in circles a few times.

Yes, but I'm not sure what was so great about it. Just a run and gun segment with a song playing. Alan Wake did that too (better, even)

Maybe it's just me, but this game is harder then I thought it would be and these checkpoints don't help.

I'm on chapter 9 I believe and it's not my favorite Remedy game. But man does it keep you on your toes and when its fun, it's really fun. And jesus some of the effects in this game are amazing.

How dumb is that? Isn’t it a little late, since drm free versions will be all over the place already.

Yes, but wasn’t there already a performance patch? I guess maybe it keeps the hacked versions from easily getting the dlc.

Online only is so stupid, for singleplayer games.
It's not a problem where i live now, but when i lived outside the city, the internet would go away frequently (even with a light rain).

Also doing it after launch, is a doubly a dick move, unless they offer refunds.

I'm stoked that CONTROL got a bunch of awards and more people are starting to notice it.

If they had trailers like this, it probably would've been on the radar of many more people at release though.

EDIT 2: Remedy replied to this thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/controlgame/comments/dizn5y/control_on_pc_is_no_longer_drmfree/f481d0o?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Control has been updated to 1.04.01 on the Epic store, and not only does it retain the new Photo Mode, but it's completely DRM-free again. I'd like to thank Remedy for replying to this thread, and for fixing the problem that cropped up after the last update. Thanks to everyone involved!
