Which ones?

 

[Thebonehead]

Having watched more of that, and rating control as one of my favourite games.

I'm really not feeling anything for this.

 

[Gonzito]

Looks good. The camera placement is a bit weird sometimes though.

 

[Thebonehead]

Which ones?

Running and traversal, jumping up.

It just seems... Off and unnatural movements

Maybe it doesn't help that I'm not a massive fan of melee combat.

 

[Luipadre]

Ok just finished it, this looks much better than previous footage, performance also cleaned up. Cant wait

 

[balls of snow]

Moist hype. This, Dawnwalker and Silent Hill in same month. Im booting some games to black friday status.

Animations are one of the few things you can't cheat with automated solutions and all the bells and whistles granted by modern tech. Good and responsive animations require talented animators.

PS2 animations what hapening to the gaming industry we are turning back

I still think we got some very nice animations yesterday:

 

[VeganElduderino]

I'm in! I love how weird and creepy Remedy games are!

 

[Physiognomonics]

That looks like the best game from Remedy. At first I thought it was some bizarre Korean or Japanese game.

Some of it reminds me of Returnal

I th

Alpha gameplay, so Its fake

 

[TheRaidenPT]

Can't wait, it's going to be day 1 on the pc

 

[Germuso]

Its going to flop hard, I like remedy dont die.

Control 2 with physics and destruction is what people wanted.

 

[kikkis]

I like the air combat, and abilities like rock shield that can be used for offensive too.

 

[Skifi28]

I want to like it, but the enemy design keeps getting weirder and wierder. WTF is up with that half head with an afro? What kind of drugs were they doing?

 

[Wildebeest]

These sort of devil may cry games have a very vocal base of enthusiast fans but they never really seem to blow the roof off in terms of popularity. But I don't have a basic problem with animations being skipped or cancelled in an action game.

Yeah, what terrible marketing up until this point. This looks absolutely fire

Hands on previews

 

[StereoVsn]

Eh, not feeling it. I liked Control but this is even more weird and I kind of wish they kept ranged combat.

I think this will be great for what it is but just not my cup of tea.

 

[The_Observer]

I was a remedy fan before they went woke and would have bought anything blindly day 1 from them but I'm not feeling this one so far. And thanks to their wokeness this will be a sale buy at best.

 

[archangelmorph]

I just don't need to see anymore of this game as I already know I'm going to get it.

 

[Luipadre]

 

[Giallo Corsa]

- Control, IMO, was one of the best games of previous gen
- I so wanted a sequel
- Got extremely hyped with the reveal

...and yet, I'm not feeling this at all for some reason, maybe it's the onslaught in September but, yeah...

 

[KyoZz]

Not watching as I'm already sold. Also this guy made a mix of the soundtrack and it's AMAZING, listen to this beauty

 

[Aressa]

Yep more control which is amazing.

 

[TrebleShot]

This game looks incredibly boring.

 

[coachmcguirk91]

Really great preview by Gamespot

 

[avalonzero]

I loved Control and am going to buy this but this game feels like it's missing all the elements that made the first one so great. I liked the Metroid style exploration of oldest house and this one just seems chaotic and linear and completely removed from any sort of reality at all. The twilight zone tone of the first gave it a real mysterious and interesting vibe that seems to be replaced by just straight horror and fantasy. Not to mention the switch from jedi powered gunplay to more melee focused combat. I'm cautiously optimistic but we just wanted more Control, not a reinvention in the same narrative world.

 

[MrAlwaysRight]

I loved the reveal, but the gameplay looks trash, honestly what have Remedy done? they used to have so much character to their games, this just feels like it doesn't know what it wants to be and it's not good at any of what it tries.

 

[Hugare]

Visuals are awesome but I dont know yet how I feel about the gameplay

Boss fight looked boring. 2-3 hits then you have to chase it to the other side of the arena and repeat.

Then the fight with the group of enemies. It looked way too chaotic, and not in a good, Returnal/Saros way. Visibility was shit from all the visual effects. And I dunno if Remedy will pull of a character action driven game on their first try.

And let's be honest: even if it turns out good, it will still sell like shit in September.

Remedy cant catch a break

 

[Imtjnotu]

Not sure how I feel about this....it doesn't look like control to me ...

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Runs and jumps with light speed like a big action game.

Never played the first Control game. Was it this action packed?

Remedys is still my favorite dev but they have been deep up there ass smelling there own Avant Garde Farts for the last 8 years it seems.

They went way way to surreal with there games and should of stuck with a better balance between grounded and surreal like with Max Payne1 through Quantum Break.

 

[Skitso]

Loved Control. But this... I really don't know.

I feel like Remedy has gone too far in the wierdness scale with this one. I usually prefer slightly more more grounded games. Yeah, Control wasn't exactly a grounded game, but it somehow managed to hit the perfect balance between wierd and normal. This seems to be way too much for me though. The enemies are odd, the levels are too abstract... everything just looks too "high fantasy".

Also, movement and animations look janky. I hope this is one of those games where you need to be playing hands-on to feel it, as just watching these gameplay videos sure doesn't look too hot. I can see this bombing hard, unfortunately.
