Remedy Discusses 'Control' Comparisons to 'Quantum Break', Live-Action Narratives

Control was first unveiled by the team over at Remedy Entertainment during E3 2018, and instantly fans were enthralled with the majestically twisted design of the game itself. The latest video was striking, there is no doubt about it, but many couldn't help but to compare it to Remedy's other phenomenal title, Quantum Break.

The team over at Remedy sat down with GamingBolt recently to talk about their new third person shooter while also opening up about the comparisons between the two games themselves. The Head of Communications over at Remedy, Thomas Puha, had this to say, "It's the same engine, same people. So it's going to have some similarities, but they're very, very different. Quantum Break was very linear, and Control is a lot more open ended. It's a lot darker. Our art direction is complete different from Quantum Break. I mean, yes, they're third-person, and, yes, there's powers and abilities in both games, but rest assured, they're very different."

According to Puha, Control will be much more gameplay-driven than Quantum Break, more about varying narratives coming together through multiple experiences - not just a live-action storyline. This will allow those playing Control to take the story at their own pace, which he mentioned was very important to Remedy during the interview.

The game looked incredible from what we've seen thus far, and we even got a chance to play it a bit during E3. It will definitely be a memorable experience and we're excited to see just how much it differs from that of Quantum Break.

The world of Control has its own story, as do the allies Jesse meets along the way. Side-quests and Secrets are everywhere. Jesse works with other Bureau agents, decodes cryptic ciphers and discovers strange Bureau experiments."
