I loved Control, the oldest house and the paranormal world it expands on, and I can't wait for more from the Control/AW universe
Alan Wake looks like John wick now
I have never heard of you before but this video is amazing so I’m gonna subscribe you’re editing is great
Fantastic video, Top notch old sport.
If you make a video about mister scratch, Thomas zane and that "who's first " alan wake or Thomas zane or the federal bureau of control knot " count me as a subscriber.
Friday can't come soon enough.
It's not a lake. It's an ocean
fan of SCP, love Control, can't wait for Alan wake 2
Very excited for what Alan wake 2 has in store for us
This is a really good video! You deserve more subs
Control is SO essential to the ongoing story of Alan Wake besides itself ALSO being a fantastic world and story
Jesse Faden is my Dream Girl ❤️
Amazing video! You deserve way much subs than you have!
An absolute must play of a game! Cannot wait for AW2, Remedy are one of the last great studios.
I love that they are making games to be good and have money as a result while some make games just for money
I'm looking forward to more Alan Wake content from this channel, great presentation!
Alan wake had a great story some fantastic acting and some truly specatcular moments and the overall atmsophire was truly spooky, but it was a bit clunky in all respects.
but since then they have done a lot and learned a lot with Quantum break and CONTROL to blend and eveolve those elements including the combat.
anyone following there games is in for a real treat with this one.
as the director said this is a clumination of everything we have been trying to do not just a sequal to Alan wake.
I hope Alan Wake 2 can later introduce to a Quantum Break sequel
Spoilers!!!

I just replayed control after finishing AW2, and wow, there were many elements of foreshadowing. Ignoring the obvious with the AWE DLC, Dylan speaks about Mr Door and the dark place, PLUS, the spiral is constantly shown, predominantly in the Oceanview Motel on one of the doors. Also from one document you can find, it states a manuscript page was pushed out from behind that door and found within the Motel.
poggerz
What I am thinking that the orginal alan wake was action thriller on time when survival horror was much out of fashion for more action oriented games. Now that horror is more popular alan wake 2 is survival horror. Is remedy just folowing trends or do they actually have some horror to give us? time will tell.
Compared "even" to the SCP Foundation? Come on, the whole concept of the Federal Bureau of Control and AWEs is basically a straight rip off of ideas in the SCP archive. It's well done for the most part but anyone who has read SCP articles or watched fan films will be immediately familiar with the ideas in this game.
You say this as if it's a negative
It's meant to be that way it's not a rip off 😂
Remedy's writing is a dumb person's concept of what a smart person would write like...
I really like Control but I think the black bars for censoring text don't make much sense when that government facility with so many complexity of ideas going on in it makes it hard to keep up with what is going on and the none stop self-context in her head monologuing in her head. I also don't mind reading all the messages on papers but you really don't need to read them when they cut out a third of the text you already have clearance for that information. Few things they could change so the game isn't as cringe the issue with the inner mind thoughts is the type of most things we can pick up on and she thinks out loud WAY too often.
Depends on how you think about it. Is the information supposedly under the black bars relevant for the player or the purpose of the documents in the game? Or is it just a stylistic way to direct the player's attention to what is interesting about each document. If the document is about some weird event or object, the player probably isn't that interested in where and when something happened and who were the people involved with it. If you try to figure out what is redacted, it can seem a bit pointless. But if you just focus on what isn't redacted, it can make it less of a hassle to read all the documents.
I mean... you can work out wjat's redacted through context clues most of the time. If I'd complain about the redactions at all it'd ne because most of what's censored seriously doesn't need to be.
@@colbyboucher6391 yeah I just have a hard time with how many redacted letters are in the game and trying to put them together. What would make more sense is to put the persons face somewhere so you have a visual who they are talking about and they really shouldn't have redacted being you're the director of the who dang X-Files place LMFAO.
