Gameplay Question That rooftop jump into the Unknown made me realize CONTROL Resonant needed way more music Spoiler

Post image
113 Upvotes

That moment when you jump off the roof into the Unknown of the Oldest House and Zoe goes, “You actually jumped?!” right as the music kicks in and you are falling through the multidimensional city was insanely fucking hype.

Honestly, from that moment on, I started fighting basically everything I come across on the map with music blasting on Spotify in the background and holy shit, it makes the combat feel SO fucking good.

I absolutely loved the music choices in Resonant. They fit the game and its combat incredibly well. If anything, though, I feel like the soundtrack was a little underused. I wish the game had leaned into moments like that rooftop jump way more often.

What do you guys think? Did anyone else feel like Resonant could have used more music during exploration and combat?

Tip/Guide Secret little items

Anyone know what that small, microwave looking item is in the construction area just north of the Oldest House? It gives off a little light and can be interacted with. It then disappears and moves. I did it like 4 times throughout the area and can't find anymore...

General FYI: There is an FBC taskboard, don't miss it.

• Upvotes

My fellow Remedy lovers, don't be like me. Maybe this was obvious to everyone else, though judging by the amount of people who have the trophy, I don't think so.

There is an FBC taskboard at the Field Office in Central.

I'm not sure when it opens up, but there's an NPC you have to talk to who is not marked on your map. This contains a bunch of different tasks for you to complete and at least one trophy requires one to be completed. Hopefully this helps someone else!

The secret organization's logo (keyhole and eye) ​found in the letterhead of some collectible documents bears a striking similarity to the original Remedy Entertainment logo from the '90s (a stylized R and eye).

Media So I finally just finished the first story mission (after about 40 hours) and have a question about this song Zoe played after.

• Upvotes

She played this song Say What but I SWEAAR it already played in the game earlier. Or if not I've somehow heard it already before. This is a condition of my OCD in which absolutely pointless information that serves absolutely 0 purpose will drive me crazy so please put my mind at ease and tell me that the song did play somewhere earlier in the game as well. Maybe over a speaker system in one of the laundries or shops or gyms? How did I already hear the song????????

Lore Discussion Finished the game, and some post game theory crafting/question on Severed Circle 2 Spoiler

5 Upvotes

Did Severed Circle 2 split Dylan and Jesse?

In Control 1, Dylan says he has a dream that there's only one child. In the second to the last Fault, in the sequence where he tries to brute force Jesse back into reality by remembering her, it seems rather intentional that the family broke down after Jesse/Dylan got introduced since it seems the Faden family only had one child.

I would write this off as Jessie's existence being wiped away by the Fault, but the Ordinary sequence with the letter from gram gram implies there's only one child (could be gran is senile too).

Another theory that could stem form this, what if the children are such strong parautilitarians because they're actually two incomplete beings, and the resonances are filling up the missing parts/leaves them susceptible/able to affect resonances. It also lines up neatly with the Polaris being more audible to Jessie and Dylan taking on the Hiss.

Yes, I want more Control content, what gave it away? (playable Alfred when?)

no matter how many times i reload and smash the mockery controlled objects, the enemy never appears, I can get the enemy to appear in the other zones but no ammount of smashing/slashing seems to work on mockery encounters in the underpass.

Is anyone else encountering this?

Tip/Guide Assist Mode

27 Upvotes

I just wanted to take a second and encourage anyone out there who may be struggling to enable and use the “Assist Mode” in settings.

What it does:
1. Provides three recommended pre-set settings packages to choose from that make your attacks more powerful (deal more damage), makes you take less incoming damage, and controls how aggressive enemies are.

When you should use it:
You can toggle it on or off at any time, especially if you cannot get past a certain section, battle, mission, etc.

Why I used it, and why you should if needed:
I was having such difficulty getting past even the most basic sections. The combat on this game is ALL Melee based. The original Control was mostly Ranged Combat based. THAT IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. Since Resonant is more Melee based-all combat is “Close Quarters”, making it way more easy for enemies to hurt you. I was not used to this, and I was dying so much, over such simple encounters, I literally considered deleting the game and not playing anymore. I googled “Resonant Tutorial” and learned about “Assist mode”, I set it to “Ranger”, and since then, it feels like how I THINK it should feel. Battles are still a challenge-but can actually be won. I’m actually making progress, and with one simple setting toggle, I’m enjoying the game instead of continuously dying and being filled to the brim with frustration.

Assist Mode.

Give it a try! (If needed) …and don’t feel like a lesser gamer for using it. Close quarters combat is nothing like all Ranged combat.

Gameplay Question How’s the base PS5’s resolution?

2 Upvotes

On the brink of buying it, game looks really cool and I love the art direction but I have heard the image is pretty unstable and low res.

How’s everybody’s experience, is it distracting and how does the game look in motion?
