I’ll have too prepare for another playthrough at some point. I finished my first a few months ago and was really wanting more
Currently playing through the game so that was unexpected. Spoilerfree The good:
- (Really good) Faster loading times
- More gfx options
- Free outfits from founder edition
- More missions apparently (still going through the base game so idk)
The bad:
- Lip sync is still broken in engine cinematic
The ugly:
- You now have to sign EULA
- Menu ad for Alan Wake 2 and DLCs
I get it, it’s 2025 but 2 days ago I was praising the game to a friend about how player friendly the game was and how it felt like a game and not an app.
GOG gets this update when?
This was certainly unexpected
Tap for spoiler
OUTFITS The following outfits are now available to all players. The outfits can be accessed and equipped from the Control Point in the Central Executive Sector area.
• Astral Dive Suit (formerly a pre-order exclusive) • Tactical Response Gear (formerly a pre-order exclusive) • Urban Response Gear (formerly a pre-order exclusive)
MISSIONS All players will receive the mission Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience, featuring voiceover by Hideo Kojima. The mission is playable when you pick up the Dr Tokui Tapes collectible in the Extrasensory Lab of the Research Sector. (This mission was previously exclusive to the PlayStation 4 Digital Deluxe version of Control.)
GRAPHICS • Added HDR support • Added new Ultra ray tracing preset, which gets you more rays per pixel and higher temporal stability • Added ultrawide monitor support for up to 48:9 monitors • Added an FOV scaling setting for the gameplay camera • Updated SDR to 10bit (from 8bit), which reduces visible color banding • Improved graphics adapter detection at startup, with automatic selection between DX11 and DX12 • Implemented screen aspect ratio fixes for ultrawide monitors • Your current monitor resolution can now reliably be selected from the screen resolution and rendering resolution menus • Added rendering resolution support beyond 4K • Implemented texture streaming fixes • Ray tracing bug fixes
DLSS SUPPORT • Added DLSS support for arbitrary resolutions • Added DLAA support • Updated DLSS to DLSS 3.7, with higher temporal stability • Film grain added back to DLSS SR • Fixed shadow resolution when DLSS is enabled • Added resolution dependent mip map bias for DLSS. This enhances texture quality, for example when applying the DLSS Performance setting.
GENERAL • Updated the audio on cinematics and end credits to remove unintended channel mixing. You will no longer hear anything that isn’t intended to be heard. (It wasn’t the Hiss, it was us. Sorry.) • Several bug and crash fixes
Is any of this in the unofficial dev mod, or should that still be used?
No idea. I have control but never played it
Same here, acquired through Epic Games’ giveaways. That was so bizarre to watch, haha: Dr. Yoshimi Tokui’s Guided Imagery Experience / Secret Mission // CONTROL
You really should play it. It’s such a good SCP game. I wish they would make more like it.
a sequel is in the works : https://www.remedygames.com/games/control-2
Hmm… Special Containment Procedures? What other games are good in this sub-genre?
Secure. Contain. Protect.
Other one I think is Prey. It sorta falls into the genre.
Ooh, yes, the new Prey was a terrifying, incredible title! It’s almost too much for me to bear replaying, even, though it was incredibly gripping and is amazingly well-done.
Prey is a great game regardless. Anyone not playing it is missing out.
I really couldn’t enjoy this game, it for some reason made me nauseous and tired.
Wanted to enjoy it, unfortunately couldn’t.
Same here, I really did enjoy it for a bit, but the grind began to feel like work. Didn’t help that my Xbox one would crash per consistently.
That’s just an effect of exposure to The Hiss.
You are a worm through time.
The thunder song distorts you.
Happiness comes.
White pearls, but yellow and red in the eye.
Through a mirror, inverted is made right.
Leave your insides by the door.
Push the fingers through the surface into the wet.
You’ve always been the new you.
You don’t want this to be true.
We stand around you while you dream.
You can almost hear our words but you forget.
This happens more and more now.
You gave us the permission in your regulations.
We wait in the stains.
The word that describes this is redacted.
Repeat the word.
The name of the sound.
It resonates in your house.
After the song, time for applause.
We build you till nothing remains.
The egg cracks and the truth will emerge out of you.
You are home.
You remind us of home.
You’ve taken your boss with your boss with you.
All hair must be eaten.
Under the conceptual reality behind this reality you must want these waves to drag you away.
After the song, time for applause.
The cliche is death out of time, breaking the first the second the third the fourth wall, the fifth wall, floor; no floor: you fall!
How do you say “insane”?
Hurts to be happy.
An ear worm is a tune you can’t stop humming in a dream: “baby baby baby yeah”.
Just plastic.
So, safe and nothing to worry about.
Ha ha, funny.
The last egg breaks now.
The hole in your room is a hole in you.
You came and we let you in through the hole in you.
You have always been here, the only child.
A copy of a copy of a copy.
Orange peel.
The picture is you holding the picture.
When you hear this you will know you’re the new you.
You want to listen.
You want to dream.
You want to smile.
You want to hurt.
You don’t want to be.
Take control!!
Time for another playthrough I guess
I started this a while back, and while I enjoyed it, I never went back to it, looks like being patient paid off.
Steam owners are also receiving this update?
Did they ever fix the inability to save the game?
Issues like that are usually related to windows security settings which block applications from modifying the contents of user specific folders.
If a game likes to write save files to those locations and you have enabled ransomware protection, you’ll need to allow an exception for it:
Go to Windows Security -> Protection History -> Protected folder access blocked (look for the game’s executable in this list) -> Actions -> Allow on Device
Thanks for the info! I’ll try reinstalling the game in the next few days and see if it works…
No problem. Unfortunately the prompt for an application being denied access usually only shows up when the game first creates a save point. So you might have to get just far enough until the game saves to trigger it.
