I've swallowed the master race whole and its now gestating nicely in me belly.

Shouldn't the kid be called Gaben? And you think yourself to be part of the master race...
I've ordered my copy of this though. Because I can't help myself. -
The coverage of this game is putting it on my radar. Like the HBO/Nordic thriller vibe they've nailed.

Wired have an interesting piece on where the Control story came from.

Another quick RTX (sorry) comparison - I will spoiler this as its not an actual spoiler (its a 'training area') but some people may not want to see it:

I've been a fan of ray-tracing since the days of the Amiga. My degree film was ray-traced (1 minute to render each 550x310 frame). I've no doubt that that is very impressive in motion and in person but the comparison shots are too subtle for me.
My favourite enemy so far is (first hour or so spoiler)Spoiler: -

It's the X files and Takashi Miike. -
Having a proper evade button which doubles up as an ace air evade/double jump has just cranked this up another notch. -

Wow. Trying not to cave. -
The challenge in this feels pitch perfect. You have to stay in the fray, pick up the health drops and use all the powers at your disposal. It does not reward distance or slow tactics.
Game is a stunner to look at, the combat really opens up with the powers, plot is suitably fucking stupid. Loving it. -

All of this. Absolutely love looking back over a combat space and seeing the absolute mayhem that’s been caused by crazy use of weapons and abilities. Feels a little like the lobby scene in Matrix, keep moving, smash shit up, use evade, and then watch bits of column fall off after you’ve totally blown up the last enemy. Awesome. -
This just keeps giving. Just unlocked Levitation and it just blows how awesome it was until this point out of the water. Lots of samey samey environments BUT then it’ll melt your eyes with some amazing environments out of the blue. One of the best games of the year without doubt.

Can't wait to play it.

I have started playing Quantum Break, which is giving a quantum of solace -

This is the sort of game I would love to download a free demo of, but Xbox don’t seem to do that as much as they used to.

Not many developers do now, probably down to bad demo’s stopping people buying the games and they supposedly take a lot of effort to do them.Wii U Themagickman - PSN - Themagickman Xboxlive - Themagickman -
this is the best game and everything i wanted from it

Got to agree with DS and Verecocha. Even if it only had the excellent art design, brutalist architecture and insane physics it'd be my favourite game since Inside. But it's a good shooter, too, crunchy, challenging and empowering. And nicely surreal.
Playing on a slightly above mediocre PC but it looks glorious. Wrecking chairs like a... um... chair wrecker. -
Whacking enemies in the back of the skull while pulling an object towards you to launch is always hilarious
-
Strikes me it’s like GoWs returning axe throw. Lovely satisfying mechanic, I presume.

It's better. Love how after a battle everything is wrecked, makes other games seem so inanimate.

For PC folks:
From resetera - Use HxD, really simple:
Disable Motion Blur for DX12
Open "renderer_rmdwin10_f.dll " in a hexeditor.
Change "7AE73E: 01 01" to "7AE73E: 00 01"
To unlock the console exclusive content on PC hex edit the exe:
Control_DX11/DX12.exe:
11D4D6: 74 43 -> 90 90
11D4DC: 74 3D -> 90 90
This unlocks:
Tactical_Response_Gear (unlocks Urban Response outfit)
Astral_Dive_Suit (unlocks Astral Dive Suit outfit)
Exclusive_Side_Mission_Isolation (unlocks Yoshimi Tokui/Hideo Kojima PS4-exclusive side mission)
These both work! So much cleaner without motion blur. -
Lol at that first bit. God bless the new pc loving ds
-
Motion blur is the devil's spunk

Said this earlier, it’s the icing on the cake after a good battle. -
It's great, last game to do it properly was Max Payne 3 but this is a lot more detailed and impressive. I'm certainly keeping Ahti in a job.
Howdy, Stranger!
