Control Ultimate Edition - An Explanation

From Remedy: "Last week, alongside information about the upcoming AWE expansion for Control, we also released information about Control Ultimate Edition – a Control package featuring The Foundation and AWE expansions, coming to current and next gen consoles, as well as PC.

We spent several months exploring all of our launch options for Control Ultimate Edition and no decision was taken lightly. While it is challenging bringing any game to next gen platforms, we quickly realised it was even more difficult to upgrade our current user base to next gen with full parity across platforms with our year-old game"

What a bunch of dickheads.....this decision is definitely going to have some long term effects on your brand.

What a way to screw over your fans that purchase your title and the season past day one.

"Every avenue we pursued, there was some form of blocker and those blockers meant that at least one group of players ended up being left out of the upgrade for various reasons. As of today, we can’t offer an upgrade to everyone, and leaving any one group out feels unfair."
aka, nup ... we want some more moolah
What a heap of bollocks.

You can’t explain away greed with lies.

mrsolidsteel202084d ago

And that's all it is, what a piss poor excuse from them to even make statement like this: "Every avenue we pursued, there was some form of blocker and those blockers meant that at least one group of players ended up being left out of the upgrade for various reasons. As of today, we can’t offer an upgrade to everyone, and leaving any one group out feels unfair."

This is definitely going to bite them in a$$ in the long run, because this decision was definitely short sighted.

morganfell2084d ago

Too easy in this day an age to have a player insert their original disc and then download the entire new game and that new game plays as long as the disc is in the drive. For digital owners it is certified by their purchase through their original chosen storefront.

Julion07152084d ago

I was ganna buy this game once a sale popped up but not anymore smh

neutralgamer19922084d ago

So that means all dlc will be on disk fr ultimate edition? If doubt it meaning we will have to download some content so why couldn't those who already have the game and purchased the dlc.do the downloading part?

Because greed be upfront that y'all aren't offering free upgrades

PePe_PL2084d ago

The statement is from 505, not Remedy.

UltraNova2084d ago

What's the difference? Hell, it's arguably worse Remedy did not say this themselves, hiding behind their publisher.

They fu*** up real bad.

Kaze882084d ago

There is, publisher have power over the developers. I'm pretty sure this was 505 games decision and not Remedys. Even if they feel like this is wrong, they cannot speak about it if the publisher has told them to stay silent. Ofc someone could go solo and do it, though then that guy is 100% fired.

Report: New Trademark for "Control: Resonant" Unearthed, Ahead of TGA

New evidence suggests a Control reveal is imminent. A trademark discovery ahead of The Game Awards hints at big news for Remedy's franchise.

Storm23158d ago

Control was really good. There was a ton of backtracking and running through the building from one end to the other a ton of times, but otherwise I loved it. Can't wait to see the sequel.

medman157d ago

Yeah it was awesome....looking forward to this reveal

REDGUM158d ago

I really enjoyed Control though without the mini map i found myself lost and or unsure of what to do too often and gave in on the game about 30% in.
Ive just re-downloaded it with the latest update with the enhanced graphics but unaure I'll dig back into it agaith with my current backlog.
Looking forward to seeing whats next from Remedy though.

toxic-inferno157d ago

I know exactly what you mean. I've played the game through twice and have had the same issue both times.

What I found on my latest playthrough was that the best way to navigate is to use the physical signs in-game as well as the map.

How the Remedy Connected Universe does the multiverse right

ScribbleCat said: Media is certainly no stranger to connecting all their properties together. Comic books have been doing this for generations, and TV is also known for special crossover episodes, which confirm the notion that they take place in the same fictional world. Video games, which can be barely called a new medium at this point, also have some interesting overlaps with connecting different games. For example, Valve’s Portal and Half-Life show how subtle hints can give players more theories to chew on. Old classics like DOOM and Wolfenstein also share similarities. But my favorite connection between games is the Remedy Connected Universe. While only a connection between Alan Wake and Control have been confirmed, there is SO much more to explore with Remedy’s crazy take on this old formula. And, according to Sam Lake, this is only the beginning.

SimpleSlave317d ago

They really should release the full Quantum Break experience on the PS5. Sure, it's a middle-of-the-road third-person shooter and a perfect example of self-indulgence, but why not? It was fun in short burst and it completes the Remedy set until Max Payne 1+2 Remakes get released later on.

Do it, Microsawft. Don't be cowards.

eh?
They better not mess much with the Max Payne Remake(s)

Yui_Suzumiya532d ago

Yeah but this was announced before the Max Payne Remake after all

LucasRuinedChildhood531d ago (Edited 531d ago )

What does "unlocking some previously released content" actually mean though? I would imagine it should be "previously unreleased content". Bit odd.

DaReapa531d ago

Right. Especially since the Ultimate Edition supposedly contained everything.

raWfodog532d ago

I only played about an hour of Control when I added it to my library back when it was one of the PS+ ‘free’ games. I’ll start it over again after the early 2025 update is dropped. I keep hearing that it’s a good game.

jznrpg531d ago

You can make that statement for any game. It’s called gameplay loop. Not everyone is going to enjoy the same loops but all games are repetitive by nature

RedDevils531d ago

Agree it was very boring game. Could not get into it. Remember me the game I played on PS3 is still better than this.

Chocoburger532d ago

These days "RPG" translates to constantly grinding for experience points, wasting time upgrading gear, and repeatedly collecting resources off the ground.

Please don't be an Ubishit style filler game.

Yui_Suzumiya532d ago

Hopefully it'll be more like Mass Effect

Amplitude531d ago (Edited 531d ago )

Remedy doesn't really make mistakes. It'll be good, I'm sure.

Inverno532d ago

So in other words it's an action game needlessly fluffed out with RPG mechanics and a pointless leveling system. I really enjoy RPGs when they're actually RPGs but modern action games really tire me out when they shoehorn in mechanics they don't need. All this does is make a 20 hour game into a 40 hour game because missions become locked behind level requirements, and enemies become damage sponges. It's not fun, it's tedious.
