Remedy has confirmed roughly how long Control Resonant will take to finish, along with fresh details on how its combat has evolved from the original game.<\/p>\n
Speaking to TechRadar<\/a>, lead gameplay designer Sergey Mohov said the main story will run to around 30 hours to complete, with players chasing full completion looking at closer to a 50-hour runtime.<\/p>\n Control Resonant – Official ‘Evolving the Gameplay Experience’ Behind the Scenes Video.Watch on YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n “We actually have a pretty long and eclectic list of references, and they’re not all video games,” Mohov said. “If I had to name one game that this game [Resonant] is trying to be like, it would be the original Control. That’s our number one reference for everything.
\n<\/p>\n “With our creative director, we started figuring out what makes Control, Control?” he added. “That was a big question, because we wanted to make a sequel that is spiritually and experientially similar to the first game, so it still feels like a Control game. But we also wanted to have more of this melee-focused, in-your-face, aggressive gameplay at the same time.”
\n<\/p>\n Mohov added: “We use references for the individual parts of the experience. I’m a big fan of DMC 2 and DMC 3, and PlatinumGames’ titles. It’s really hard to name one single reference, but I think if you play the game more, you’ll notice that there are things that have been done in other games, but I don’t think you can directly say Resonant is ‘exactly like this other thing.’
\n<\/p>\n “We learn lessons from all of these other projects to see what works and what doesn’t, but I think you probably haven’t played anything that is exactly like this.”
