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

If someone showed me this and said this is the sequel to control I’d tell them to gtfo.

i mean, if control 2 had the same shooting mechanics of control 1 it would be kinda boring, its actually a good thing that this time its a melee based hack'n'slash so that people who wanted variety can enjoy AND newer fans can join in too! from a story prespective it makes sense too, why would jesse's brother be good at shooting too? and jesse got the gun from the director so dylan wouldn't be able to use a gun anyways lol...

Yes, but you're looking at it from the perspective of knowing what Resonant was gonna be like. Back in the day I think everyone thought a sequel would be about Jesse, so similar gameplay to Control was expected.

yeah, i played control in like 2022, then saw the control 2 scene in alan wake 2 and was like "yay more jesse time!!" but then i saw it was a melee game and was like "whyyy i dont want another damn melee combat game" but eventually i started playing hacknslashers, soulslikes, etc and now really enjoy control resonant. it would be kinda lame if it was another 3rd person shooter now that i think about it because, basically every gun type was explored in control 1, the only thing control 2 would be different in was maybe adding more telekenesis moves and all but yeah.. thats my take on it

Soulslike and hack n slash are two pretty different styles and if anybody called bloodborne a hack n slash I’d probably think they meant another game
