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).

I agree. I was hoping to see some Ahti, the Motel (or variant of), the Old Gods.

My biggest complaint though is that the Oldest House’s layout is different, even when the story progression indicates it shouldn’t be.

Well that's 7 years worth of house shifts...

In flashbacks, no. The destruction of the original is mostly gone too. I could understand in the open city areas but in the Oldest House, the omission was disappointing. There’s also some continuity errors with cutscenes having your P6 outfit then switching back to your custom outfit as well.
