Image / Video Fluid & Satisfying combat in Control Resonant

FOV is at 65 instead of default 100 to make it more cinematic, but it makes the game harder (harder to have enemy-awareness, hard to do very quick traversal movement etc). i still do think you should play at like 80 FOV or something compared to 100

the uppercut and air combos are a little DMC but there's no style points or combo meters or anything of the sort

Infamous literally came to mind immediately, and that’s making me consider buying this now

u/profchaos111 19d ago

Yeah this should have been the marketing from the get go.

u/Shinagami091 19d ago

You are missing out on peak chaotic action kiddo! Check out the Infamous trilogy as well as Prototype 1 and 2.

u/Ethifury 20d ago

I’d take a full price remaster Day 1 Deluxe Edition

u/Bariumdiawesomenite 20d ago

I'm still waiting for a PS4/PS5 port of Infamous 1 and 2. I got my hopes back up after MGS4 got its remaster port after 18 long years!

u/Ethifury 20d ago

Ikr? Sony needs to take a page out of Nintendo’s book and remaster/remake some of their older IPs

1

u/favorscore 20d ago

why did they stop making these games?

1

u/Bariumdiawesomenite 20d ago

Apparently, the people behind the games, Sucker Punch productions felt burned out after sticking to two IPs for more than a decade (Sly Cooper and Infamous). They saw studios like Naughty Dog slowly pivoting from Crash Bandicoot to Uncharted and The Last of Us and decided to make that similar shift in diverse creative freedom. Hence, they took their sweet time to deliver their next big project which turned out to be Ghost of Tsushima in 2020.

u/favorscore 20d ago

Oh wow they made ghosts. Maybe they'll go back to infamous one day they clearly can still make good games. I had no idea

1

u/Bariumdiawesomenite 20d ago

With how there is currently a trend to remaster previous gen games for the latest consoles, I highly expect them to bring the ports for Infamous 1 and 2 soon. Even MGS4 got the latest gen port after 18 long years!

u/Mr-Gun_man 20d ago

A pretty good video game series of hack and slash games mainly focused on people with superpowers to control certain elements

7

u/xXEggRollXx 20d ago

Hack and slash?

Unless I’m misremembering, the combat was primarily shooting with your powers and punching people like in Spider-Man.

2

u/Mr-Gun_man 20d ago edited 20d ago

It's the best I had naming wise, but yeah it's pretty much shooting lightning at a bunch of enemies (except for second son, that one is actually more of a hack and slash)

Edit: After checking combat gameplay from Infamous 2 I figured the problem, it's combat it's a mix of hack and slash and FPS where you can choose between shooting from afar with electricity which you have to reload using environment elements or closing the distance with an "electric baton" (I don't have a better name) that effectively works as an electric sword, there's also a few Parkour elements to it that make it more interesting

1

u/profchaos111 20d ago

Yeah totally was a lot of shooting but second son and it's DLC from memory had more close combat moves so it was a real mix at times

u/Informal_Drawing 20d ago

A game you should have played.

u/profchaos111 20d ago

It was peak ps3 era gaming to me that game defined the console way more then games like uncharted or the last of us it's the first game i think of when i think ps3
