I'm fucking sick and tired of them genderswapping the protagonists of our favorite media franchises
isn't that the brother of the character of the first game that she rescues?
>>740656108is that norman reedus with eyebrows?
the first game's protagonist was given a gigantic manface so maybe they just didn't notice they were swapping in the sequel
>>740656108>straight white male protagonist instead of annoying karen foidBASED REMEDY
>>740656108It directly ties into the plot of the first game, it's not really a meaningless swap.
Manbun? In the big 26?
>>740656108You think you had a good argument here but you really don't. Control is a single game, there's no precedence for the game being a female led series that you could even call this genderswapping.
>>740656167Yeah. OP is just a baiting faglord.
>>740656590To be fair Dylan has been asleep for like 20 years
>>740656108no one gives a shit about control lmao
>>740656727It's 7 years IIRC. Control takes place in 2019 and Control 2 in 2026
>>740656108I swear Remedy is the only studio that doesn’t have to make money to keep making games. How do they do it?
>Go from white female to white male >OP is upset about it >Makes sense canonically/plot-wiseWe knew that Jesse had a brother and it was the main reason she went to the bureau, because they took her brother since he was really powerful. She literally spends the entire game looking for information/answers about her brother, so it would only make sense that after finding him we know play as him, and he's clearly stronger than Jesse, despite Jesse being "Director" and now we have to rescue Jesse. The combat is completely different as well. Instead of a gun with psychic abilities and slow combat, we now can use melee weapons and move faster but still use psychic abilities, like a beat-em up style action game. What I liked about Control wasn't so much the combat, but just the overall atmosphere, plot, and voice acting. It had strong X-File vibes, like exploring a secretive spooky agency and piecing together what was going on.
>>740657076They’re largely subsidized through exclusivity deals/publisher funding. Someone in Remedy has a lot of powerful connections within the industry to last this long.
>>740656108Why do you care?
>>740656108>genderswapping the protagonistWhat do you mean? Control always had a male protagonist
>>740657076>Sponsored by Nvidia for a gaytracing tech demoI mean it works but that does not change how shit the gameplay is in all of their games
>>740657982monke
>>740656108>favorite media franchisewhat?
>>740657081OP is a wokefag trying to act like he's caught the chuds being at odds with themselves
>>740656108Nothing wrong when you do that on the second game. Now changing it after 20 years is shit.
It's retarded, imagine a Mario or Link mainline game where they're not the protagonists.
>>740657081>he's clearly stronger than JesseThey appear to be on similar levels since they intended to kidnap both and pit them against each other to be the next director.Since they fucked up and only managed to capture Dylan, they focused on him while keeping continual surveillence on Jessie in case he failed.
>>740656108>foid put in charge fails to contain the hiss so hard they need a man to step up and fix her messunironically based, day 1
>>740658391To be fair, the man in question directly helped it to escape in the first place.
>>740658159lol thisthe setting is just a reddit knockoff of SCP, there's nothing memorable about iti liked Jesse for the first 10 minutes when she was portrayed as a schizoneet UFO believer but that gets forgotten about pretty fast
>>740656275I also thought it was an interesting choice to give the protagonist a major appearance flaw until I saw a video on the steam page featuring the voice actress. That's just how she looks.
>control with AW2 graphicsKi.No.
>>740658391>FBC gets it's first female director because it's the current year chud>Within several years shit gets totally fucked, containment is breached and everything gets outside into the real world>A man has to come in and fix itWhat did Remedy mean by this
>>740658503to be fair she actually used to look prettier but as it always happens she bogged herself
>>740656227No, that's Sean Durrie.
>>740658496SCP is the Reddit knockoff of SCP
>>740657076Exhibit A for the argument that studios are being paid to push propaganda and not for sales.
>>740656108they needed to go harder on the SCP mindfuck stuff desu
>>740661570Control's SCPs have understandable mechanisms and origins so it's a bit different to work with them, all being born from the human subconscious. It's why the actual big threats aren't SCPs, or at least aren't categorized as such.
>>740656108it's kind of crazy how lame and generic this game looks despite their best attempts to be as weird as possible.experimental visuals, run of the mill gameplay.
>>740662007wrong
>>740656108Is anyone actually hyped for this? Remedy fucking sucks now. They're Kojima tier in that you can tell they loathe they "just make video games" and they wish they were making Netlfix stuff or real, high budget movies. The insistence on lengthy live action segments, the quirky, "I know the works of David Lynch" sensibilities, the MCU connected universe bullshit, and the reddit tier cosmic horror elements feel like gran bag desperation of, "yeah, we make games for SMART people."
>>740662087Saaros and Returnal are the same way with their 2deep4u attitude. Maybe it's just a Finn thing.
>>740658734Can't wait to see the Max Payne remakes
I have hated every singke Remedy game Ive tried to play.But this trailer was so good Im willing to give it a chance
Only remedy games I like are MP and AW. The rest are boring but Resonant looks great. Love the music.
GCJ troons with retarded logic again
Like seriously if Im allowed to be postive for once, even as someone who doesnt like Remedy games at all, that is how you do a trailer. Original song that matxhes the vibe of what youre going for and dont overly sync video to beats or those generic DUN DUN DUNS. Yes theres no gameplay, there will be time, but get the concept and get people excited.One of the best trailers Ive ever seen, best since like Hitman 2016 trailer
>>740663704Only negative maybe is the floating people is kinda feels like copying Death Stranding
The trailer had some kino music.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcQE1OP7e30
>>740663758Control's floating people predate Death Stranding.
>>740662087Control was the least film-like game they ever made.
Jesse would never run up to melee enemies.she'd just throw rocks at shit with her mind and do 3x more damage.
>>740663758>CopyingThe floating people were already present in the original Control as the Hiss manifestation, so it's not like it's anything unique to DS. If anything DS seemed to be quite deeply affected by things Kojima was vibing at the time (Music, literature, games and travel) so i'm more inclined to say it's on the reverse. It was also kind of telling that he had that small DS2 musical number with Die-hardman in it to ride along Sam Lake's coattails when Alan Wake 2 got their music performance during the VGA.
>>740664245the high pitched vocals around 1:10 reminds me something like randy watson from coming to america or that screaming cowboy meme or something
>>740664440Besides Death Rally, yes.>>740664527You can play her in melee range and you should.
>>740656108I'm going to play the game just because of this and this >>740658059
>>740664654It's ostrobothnian folk music, so it's always been traditionally reminiscent to stuff like the Sami yoik and variety of other non-grammatical music styles. Much like yodeling, which is likely what most people are familiar with.
>>740656108jesse literally replaced the male director despite having no prior experience
But I liked Jesse…
>>740664316>>740664595yeah fair, i checked out of control in like the first hour so i thought maybe it existed in that game too
>>740662087Remedy are among the only studios that still cares about VIDEO games and has their own unique visual flair, rather than simply opening the Quixel scanned asset store like all other companies.
>>740664912yeah sure im just saying i cant help but hear those 2 things when i hear it
>>740665058ok lets slow down here. remedys games are quasi movies
>>740664996>ReplacedHe is a substitute. Jesse still has the Service Weapon with her. If anything, it seems a lot of Jesse's actions likely were meant to give Dylan as much freedom as possible during what is essentially a catastrophic emergency. Thus he stabs him into his chest with the Aberrant. Should be noted that during his time in coma, he was chipped by the FBC to prevent him from going full schizo again if he has to channel the Hiss. The whole situation seems way more nuanced then just there being a switch in leadership.
>>740664996That's true for every director. They are basically divinely chosen.
>>740665185Only Quantum Break.
>>740665305Quantum Break has a lot more gameplay than Alan Wake 2 nigga. Yeah these IRL cutscenes are dogshit but in raw gameplay sections it clears AW2
>>740664595They inspired each other that's certain. Kojima & Sam put each other in their own games after all.
>>740656108Impressive that a studio like Remedy could take something as interesting as the SCP stuff and make the most boring, monotonous, and safe game possible out of itI will not be playing Control 2. Thanks!
>>740665305and control and alan wake and alan wake 2
>>740665198This. He's not the Director without the Service Weapon, that's just the rules.
>>740665765How is Control a quasi-movie?
>>740664912>ostrobothnian folk*karelianKeep those pseudo-Swedes away from this
>>740666414>*karelianI don't think Remedy are working with Russians due to current geopolitics.
>>740666414Suurin osa pohjanmaan väestöstä ei todellakaan ole hurrei.
>>740657982They're not doing her any favors with that haircut and outfit, looks like a ginger Micah.
