Snake5555555555 10/19/20 1:01:10 PM #228:	59. Control (video game) (17.5 points) Nominated by: Johnbobb (1/5 remaining) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F74LLDhAhhI Importance: 5 Fear: 5.5 Snake: 7 Control is Remedy's latest flawed masterpiece, a graphical marvel to behold with influences from modern day Internet horror culture, crafting a shared universe with ease, connecting to their other games & franchises in a way that feels totally fresh & original. Control builds on the team's previous efforts in Quantum Break, incorporating psychic and time-bending powers to use in combat. Combat can occasionally feel floaty and weak, but once you start building up your characters and really incorporating all your abilities, you'll feel like a god, wreaking havoc on unsuspecting foes throughout your playthrough. Control has clear nods to SCP culture and of course Remedy's ever-prescient Twin Peaks influence carried over from Alan Wake, especially prevalent in its red lighting & extra-dimensional spaces. Instead of the SCP Foundation, you play as Jesse Faden, the new director of the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC, sounds familiar, huh?), which studies paranormal entities and phenomena that threaten to invade the fabric of our reality. Though the main antagonistic force of the game is known as The Hiss, which is reminiscent of the Dark Presence in Alan Wake (~~in AWE it's revealed The Hiss were a product of Wake's writing),~~ there are also "Altered Items", normal items altered by paranormal activity, which is a verrrry SCP-type concept. I'm glad there's a game pushing SCPs more into mainstream, I feel like this is the first video game to truly be influenced by that in the same other games and films have been taking cues from Lynch and King for an untold number of years. Control has maybe the most impressive graphics I've yet to see in a video game too, a total beast that barely runs on the current hardware, incorporating ray tracing and photo-realism that truly brings the paranormal straight to your living-room with unmatched fidelity. I actually haven't played this game fully yet, but its incredible lore, world-building, fluid gameplay, and immense graphical prowess has proved to be a slow but surefire success, and as the game only increases in popularity and influence, the sky seems to be the limit for Remedy as I think they have struck a gold-mine here they would be wise to continue. --- And it's gonna be a long October, and I don't have reasons to believe, in much of anything, alright https://imgur.com/1e1e70S <cite>Snake5555555555 posted [p:946036798] in THE Snake ...
