\"\"\/<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s only the first day of the month and Remedy has already finished the Control Resonant<\/a> patch it promised for October.<\/p>\n

This is the new PS5 update headlined by an enhanced New Game+ mode, which will now let you play the campaign an infinite number of times. At launch, the mode was restricted to just one additional playthrough.<\/p>\n

As far as I’m aware, Control Resonant doesn’t have multiple endings or big story deviations based on your choices, so going through it again would mainly be just to continue the combat and exploration, I suppose. The options there now, anyway!<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the developer continues to tweak the game difficulty and make it easier to tell when you can upgrade your build. In the Unknown Zone, the amount of combat and its intensity has been decreased by 10-15%. Having applied the patch, you’ll now see your overall Build Power level on the Loadout screen, and you’ll get notifications when there’s something you can upgrade in The Gap.<\/p>\n

Remedy has already confirmed another update for November, which will add a Photo Mode to Control Resonant.<\/p>\n

You can read the full patch notes for Control Resonant update 1.4 below.<\/p>\n

Control Resonant PS5 Update 1.4 Patch Notes<\/p>\n

HIGHLIGHTS<\/p>\n

New Game ++
\nYou can now play an infinite number of runs of CONTROL Resonant in New Game ++
\nAdded the Build Power number to the Loadout screen on the bottom left so that players can easily see their Power level instead of having to find it buried in the Stats & Effects menu
\nIt’s worth saying here that if you are below the enemy level, you are going to have a tougher time with combat, so keep doing side quests, explore twisted Manhattan, and level up!
\nThe HUD will have a little notification icon to indicate that you have new things to buy or upgrade in The Gap
\nAdded a feature that when you pin materials you need to acquire for upgrades, you can see if these materials are available at the Vendor by looking at the Vendor icon on the Map (instead of having to go to the Vendor to see their wares)
\nUnknown Zone – Decreased the overall amount of combat and intensity by 10%-15%
\nAdded a separate volume slider for radio dialogue. You can now customize the audio balance between speakers\/headphones and the DualSense controller speaker
\nAdded a new option in the Assist Mode – Power Core Charge Duration: Added a 100-300% Power Core Charge duration multiplier
\nMany fixes to map markers either sticking around too long or being in the wrong place and not clearing correctly. We are sure we still missed a few of these, though
\nFixed a VFX issue where framerate could drop during the Artist Resonant fight when she does her special attack
\nAdded \u201cMute copyrighted music\u201d option to turn off Apocalyptica\u2019s \u201cUpperhand\u201d intro credits song (It\u2019s a great track, so why would you)
\nAdded a Tutorial about the Rush ability removing status effects
\nFixed over-saturated HDR highlights in AgX (tonemapper)
\nFixed a multitude of subtitle and VO issues across the game
\nSeveral specific performance optimizations, mainly targeting PC minimum and recommended specs
\nPolish on all aspects of the game, including audio, dialogue timing, subtitle timing, animation, lighting, code, mission polish, UI, and so on
\nAdded support for Razer haptics. The game will trigger many gameplay events like using melee, taking damage, etc., and trigger effects on Razer peripherals<\/p>\n

We should also mention that AMD has released new optional drivers that improve performance and fix several game crashes. Please download the drivers here<\/a> .<\/p>\n

GAME DESIGN<\/p>\n

Unknown Zone – Decreased the overall amount of combat by 10%-15%
