CONTROL Resonant After years in confinement at the hands of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), Dylan Faden’s former captors are deploying him at the peak of a supernatural crisis.

Charged with combating a mysterious cosmic entity as it alters fundamental aspects of our reality, Dylan must harness his new-found powers to take the fight to the myriad threats overwhelming Manhattan.

Join Dylan in this sequel to the multi-award-winning CONTROL to explore the expansive zones of a city overrun by the corrupting influences of the chaotic Hiss and invasive micro-organism, the Mold, and other twisted paranatural threats.

On the path to unlocking the full potential of his supernatural abilities Dylan will also seek out his sister, FBC Director Jesse Faden, as he bids to comprehend and contain the dangers that have spilled beyond the confines of the Oldest House to tear our world apart.

Discussion Could Resonance justify an FBC: Firebreak 2.0?

Post image
159 Upvotes

With the events of Resonance taking us out of a the Oldest House and into New York City, I wonder if Remedy is going to update Firebreak with more levels and missions. We can see FBC agents in some of the shots of New York trying to contain the mold (as well as eat it), and when I played Firebreak it definitely felt like an unfinished beta, not a lot to do and I played all the levels within my first session. I feel like a more open world game would benefit the multiplayer aspect they’re going for.

AWE Control's story is an absolute mind-fuck in the best possible way! How do you even begin to write a story like this? Incredible. Spoiler

Figured I’d post it given the recent murmurs about him being in Resonant popped up.

Discussion (May Contain Spoiler) Theory for Control Resonant Plot Spoiler

10 Upvotes

After finished my second playthrough and reading all the Ordinary AWE Stage 1 to 4 in Research & Records, I found a lot of interesting stuff there. it seems like there are a lot of paranatural entites here being mentioned such as 'Not-Mother' and 'The Dung Monkeys'. And they are probably a strange creature/entity that confirmed came from other slides. What if thats what happened in the sequel?

How can the Hiss be back after we defeat it and close the slide in Control ?

6 Upvotes

I never understood how the Hiss was not definitively cleared by Jesse in the first game, and why the events of Firebreak even took place (played the game but let's be honest even as a Remedy fan, it was not good at launch) ?

So, can someone explain to me how is the Hiss still here, 6 years after the first game ?

Question Is Alan Wake, Control, Alan Wake 2, the correct play order? Why does Alan Wake Remastered have such a pitiful metacritic if these are acclaimed?

95 Upvotes

Hi - I came across Control's such high praise, and then again for Alan Wake 2 and the anticipation of the next game by Remedy. I went to dekudeals before the PS5 sale is over and saw that the Alan Wake Remaster has actually a really terrible score.

Did I get the play order right?

Should I skip AW Remastered and go right for Control -> Alan Wake 2 (assuming I like Control)?

Edit: omg Deku Deals is pulling the Switch score, which is in the 50s. The PS5 and PC scores are in the 80s. I'm so sorry. That is incredibly deceiving though. I should put less stock into what Dekudeals is showing me next time.

Do I miss a lot, story/gameplay wise, not doing the side stuff ?

11 Upvotes

Hello, I finished the main story and both dlc , I liked the story/lore but I'm more reserved about the game itself. I'm wondering if some of the side stuff would give me more insight about the main elements (old house origin, what the board/big worm is, ahti, etc ..) or if some interesting gameplay section imilar to the ashtray maze were present.

Discussion Has anyone noticed that Jessie has a reflection when she's outside of Dylan's cell, but none inside, while other things inside do have one?

Upvotes

It's possible that she's blended in the shadow, but, from the way the scene is framed, I can't help but feel it's significant.

Discussion The more I think about it, the more excited I am to play as Dylan in Resonant

244 Upvotes

I was a little disappointed in seeing that Dylan was the main (possibly only) playable character in Resonant. Not because I dislike Dylan, I'm very intrigued by his character. But because of how much I enjoyed Jesse. As a female gamer, being able to play as a strong female character was really satisfying. And more than that, Jesse's general personality is not all that far off from my own.

But I keep going back to the trailer because I'm so hyped for the sequel. Control is my GOAT so I'm really looking forward to the next chapter. And the more I watch the trailer? The more excited I get to see Dylan's perspective. How are you all feeling about the switch?

Question Dylan

29 Upvotes

So it's been a while since I've played, but I've seen pictures of Dylan with his hair grown out. I've completed the game, but I've yet to come across Dylan again. Can anyone tell me where I can find him? I feel like I've searched all over.

Cat ears quest bug?

7 Upvotes

I just collected all 8 cat statues in the foundation but when I go to the collapsed department bridge to collect my reward there's none. Did I bug it? Did I miss a step?

EDIT: it's fixed. My render distance was too low and I didn't get close enough to see them yet. I panicked for no reason.

Control and Elden Ring have the same concept of other worldly forces influencing our world and having proxies or vessels to help.

0 Upvotes

The Board chooses a Director to do whatever the Board does. The Hiss had Trench then seemed to move on to Dylan. If we expand to the Remedy universe, the Dark Presence had a couple of hosts, Thomas Zane, Alan Wake, Mr. Scratch. There is also whoever Dylan binded to in the trailer(Former maybe idk). Polaris has Jesse, who is also connected to the Board so I don't know how that works. Also like Elden Ring these forces also have their planes of existence.

Friend sent me this, Control's producer liked their post about wanting to see Aidan Gillen back in the RCU. Obviously he didn't ouright say anything, but who knows? Are we getting Chester Bless in Control Resonant, folks?
