Digital Foundry has created a new video analyzing the new Control game, an upcoming supernatural action-adventure video game developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by 505 Games. Different from previous projects undertaken by Remedy, Control is played from a third-person perspective, offering a fresh and immersive experience for players.
Game Engine and Graphics
Control has been built using Remedy’s proprietary Northlight games engine, which was first used to build Quantum Break. This engine allows for stunning visuals and intricate details, making the game world feel incredibly lifelike. One of the standout features of Control is its implementation of ray tracing, a technology that simulates the way light interacts with objects in a realistic manner. This results in highly detailed reflections, shadows, and lighting effects that enhance the overall atmosphere of the game.
Check out the analysis video below by the Digital Foundry team to learn more about the new game and its graphic ray tracing features. Control is set to be released on August 27th, 2019, and will be available to play on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Story and Gameplay
The game revolves around the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC), a secret U.S. government agency tasked with containing and studying phenomena that violate the laws of reality. As Jesse Faden, the Bureau’s new Director, players explore the Oldest House – the FBC’s paranormal New York headquarters – and utilize powerful abilities in order to defeat a deadly enemy known only as the Hiss, which has invaded and corrupted reality.
Jesse’s journey is not just about combat; it also involves solving puzzles and uncovering the mysteries of the Oldest House. The game features a Metroidvania-style world, where players can unlock new areas and abilities as they progress. This encourages exploration and rewards players for their curiosity.
In addition to the main storyline, Control offers side missions and hidden secrets that add depth to the game. These optional quests provide additional context to the game’s lore and allow players to further develop Jesse’s abilities. The game’s narrative is rich and complex, with multiple layers that players can peel back to uncover the full story.
