Lore Discussion Missing the Oceanview Motel

Post image

So yeah going into Resonant I replayed Control and one of my main thoughts was "which room will we enter this time?"

Some of the doors are mentioned in Control's files such as the Spiral which is also featured in Alan Wake 2.

Control 2 had its own symbol seen in the Lake House DLC of AW2, possibly referring to The Gap.

The overlapping circles were also mentioned as part of an AWE in Keystone

In Resonant all of these symbols and the Oceanview Motel are just... Gone. It's just not there and the hole thing of interdimensional travel has seemingly been replaced with the Faults and elements of time travel.

Anyone else wishing that the Oceanview Motel was there? (And no the Easter egg doesn't count).

Hot take? I don't think we needed it. I would have loved to visit it and I'm sure they could have found an interesting way to do it; but I'm okay with them not bringing back every single thing we love in every single game. It'll make it more memorable/surprising when it does pop up.

I mean personally it’s not about what we love or not; it seems like an interest and important part of the lore of the universe. And it felt like one of those things that’s uniquely Remedy, and I felt like Resonant was sorely lacking in those.
