🔥 CONTROL RESONANT: The Jaw-Dropping Sequel That’s About to Change the Game 🔥

Last month, Remedy gave us a sneak peek at their upcoming masterpiece, Control Resonant, and let me tell you, it's a REAL game-changer. The team, including creative director Mikael Kasurinen, lead gameplay designer Sergey Moho, and communications director Thomas Puha, spilled the beans on what makes this sequel so special.

From the get-go, Remedy made it clear that Control Resonant is an action-RPG with a focus on melee combat, and boy, are they delivering. With multiple skill trees and character builds, this game is shaping up to be a true RPG fan's dream come true.

Jesse Faden: The Non-Playable Hero

One of the biggest surprises was the announcement that Jesse Faden, the main protagonist of the first game, won't be playable in Control Resonant. But don't worry, she's still a significant part of the story. As Thomas Puha put it, "Jesse plays a significant role in the sequel… but she is not playable. This is Dylan's experience, very much so."

This move is either GENIUS or a recipe for disaster. Are you kidding me right now? Only time will tell if this bold decision pays off.

The RPG Factor: Skill Trees and Character Builds

So, just how much of an RPG is Control Resonant? The answer is: VERY. With multiple skill trees and character builds, players will have to make tough decisions about how to level up and improve Dylan's abilities. And let's not forget about the Aberrant, Dylan's trusty transforming super-stick, which features a primary form, secondary form, and combo-ender.

This is where things get really interesting. Players will have to choose which parts to upgrade and modify, and yes, there are plenty of stats to dig into if you're into min/maxing. It's time to get your RPG on and create the ultimate Dylan build.

No Parry, No Problem: The Combat System

One of the most surprising aspects of Control Resonant's combat system is the lack of a parry button. But don't worry, this isn't a Souls-like game. As Remedy put it, "This game is very much a push-forward, action-driven, aggressive playstyle game. We don't have parry in the game [because] we want the player to be in control, on the move, and keep attacking enemies."

This bold move is either a stroke of genius or a disaster waiting to happen. But hey, at least we can agree that the combat system is looking 🔥.

A Better Map and No Open-World Slog

Remember the frustrating map system in the first Control game? Well, Remedy has learned from their mistakes, and Control Resonant's map is looking much improved. The game's world is designed to be exciting and varied, with a focus on quality over quantity.

"We don't want the map to stress you out with tons of similar things to grind through," explained Kasurinen. "But instead, it should convey an exciting selection of distinctive options on how you want to spend your time. In this world, less is more."

Technical Breakdown: What You Need to Know

So, what can you expect from Control Resonant in terms of technical performance? Remedy is targeting 60FPS on all platforms, including Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. This is a bold move, but if anyone can deliver, it's Remedy.

The game also features a dialogue system with choices, but don't expect multiple endings. As Kasurinen put it, "We wanna have a cohesive, good story, and Dylan is one type of a character, so there are limits to how he can react to different situations, and so on."

Customization and Dialogue: The Cherry on Top

And finally, let's talk about customization. Players can change Dylan's clothing and hairstyle at any time during the game, because who doesn't love a good fashion statement while fighting paranormal monsters?

The dialogue system is also worth mentioning, with a unique feature that allows players to move while talking to characters. This was directly inspired by Campo Santo's Firewatch, and it's a great touch.
