[@StevenS757]

Control always felt like Remedy's version of the Dark Tower. A story that acts as a nexus for all other places within the Remedy verse. I'm interested to see if future Remedy games reference it.

[@AgentZarkov_2133]

This is how I view Control and the Oldest House as well. It’s the hub that holds all the spokes of the Remedyverse together.

[@digitalbarrito3555]

Oh you bet your bippy it was referenced heavily in Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 will also have a second DLC released for it much like Control did, and it's going to be a DLC that leads in to Control 2 much like the AWE DLC directly lead in to Alan Wake 2.

[@SnowTheKitsune]

Literally in my eyes control is triple A version of SCP foundation. Literally some of them are inspired by them.

[@Pablud3S]

The answer is very much and early yes.

[@clockworkNate]

Well you should definitely play Alan Wake 2 if you haven't.

[@wintertrooper7918]

having been a kid in a small town i can say with 100% certainty that kids will play in virtually anywhere they can (i think this dump was not a garbage dump but a dump for old furniture appliances and swing sets and things like in my home town we have one we called the rubble site)

[@Renoistic]

For sure. My friends and I played in multiple places kids have no business in, like dumps and sawmills.

I have the worst case of isolation revolving around this goddamn game. I was obsessed with it for years (still think its amazing) and just. nobody. else. had. played. it.

[@ADMNtek]

agreed, the lore/universe is just mindboggling and the gameplay is fun. Control made me feel more like a Jedi than any Star Wars game. I am so excited for Control 2. but being an EGS exclusive at first really hurt them on PC.

I love the game, personally I wish there were larger breaks between combat (It can get quite exhausting after a while) but other than that I love it

[@KonkaBass]

I love the lore in Control. It's world building through the FBC is something that's just, I think, tremendous and has so much potential for far-reaching stories inside of that universe. Love it!

You've got to love Remedy entertainment.... they put out passion projects which create the best games... such a great studio

[@TheKueiJin]

Don't get me wrong i love Remedy, i absolutely adore the Max Payne 2, and still remember it to this day. I love most of their games, but CONTROL is rather bland... It has very nice mechanics, but never truly explored... It's such a shame too..

[@Binglesnoop]

So so happy to see you come back to this game! Your old Control video was how I found your channel and the reason I initially subscribed.

[@Gruntbucket]

That indoctrination video was my first video from this channel, so stoked for the full lore break down

Super happy to see someone going over the lore of this masterpiece. I love this game's story so much it would make for an amazing TV show on like HBO

[@Narc1024]

It is inspired by twin peaks

[@zacharyberridge7239]

I LOVE Control! Absolutely one of my favorites. I have always liked the SCP stories, so a game clearly inspired by them was immediately on my radar. Also, gotta say, when it comes to the levitate ability, they did a great job capturing this dream-like sensation.

[@StealthlessGaming]

Im almost positive that this game came out before SCP got really popular and mainstream.

[@zacharyberridge7239]

@@StealthlessGaming it did not. It came out in 2019. I was already watching the Volgun's videos on YT at that point.

Aye the lore of Control, nice. I’ve never actually played Control nor Alan Wake but both have very interesting lore to me so I already love this.

If you get the chance, you should try it out, getting emersed with knowledge of some things makes the game that much more interesting

[@Nicolas-mm9hp]

Control is my favorite game ever!! I love everything about the remedyverse. They are the GOAT

greatest lore/story video about Control I've seen so far, and I've seen a handful of them because it's both confusing and intriguing to me. Well done, lady!

[@okeynwachie]

I'm so happy the algorithm brought me here. Your narrative style is exactly what I was looking for. I'll be browsing the playlists until pt 2 is out. Good shit 👏🏿

[@roentgen822]

I am so grateful for this lore video because as much as I love Control, the game really punishes you for not reading every single document. I had zero awareness about the stuff with Neil and Trench’s daughter. I really hope Alan wake 2 is more forgiving because the stories are so interesting.

[@TiptoeTheTank]

Man, it bugs the hell out of me when great games hide their stories and lore. It's a sin of storytelling!

[@Tuaron]

Thank you for doing Control and Alan Wake. Not sure why I was recently recommended these videos, but I'm so glad I watched them (and then Death Stranding, the wild trip that game is). I'd watched a playthrough of AW (when I wasn't able to drag myself through it) and beat Control, but these videos really solidified concepts and made things make more sense for me, and they were thoroughly entertaining, to boot. Thank you, Tiptoe!

the most interesting, and telling part for me, about the lore in the foundation is that the cave paintings were carbon dated to being done AFTER the FBC arrived, but were made in a way to imply that they'd been there forever. the manipulations started basically right away

[@enochgraham4957]

[@diastin]

That ad was awesome/inspired/terrifying!

[@GreatgoatonFire]

It isn't clearcut but IMHO Max Payne is also a Parautilitarian with his abilities centred around perception. Bullet Time is that feeling of time slowing down during an adrenalin rush made real. The fact that he has been shot to hell and back but still lives? He takes pain killers, doesn't Feel hurt and hey presto, now he is fine again. Also fits with how he still very much can die, too much physical trauma in one go will kill him before he can grab his pills.

Well, time to throw on my favorite 10 hour Dr Darling music video loop

[@MrMythul]

I'm pretty sure. Dylan and Jesse are the same person. There is some more about it in the game where there wasn't really records of two children prior to this event happening. Jesse was extremely lonely as a kid so this event caused her to almost split. Dylan alludes to as much.

[@felixfeliciano7011]

Dylan can be talked to and he will go into random rants and monologues, but in one of them, he talks about a dream he had. In the dream, he wasn't a boy, but a girl. A girl that was lonely but safe. One who had dreams and was happy in spite of it all. That girl's name was Dylan. When I first heard that, it made my head swim. Dylan? Jesse? These are incredibly ambiguous names. Who is supposed to be who in this story? Is Dylan telling us that the two of them are the same person, or is he dreaming of an alternate reality where that is the case? The game is is very vague about this but the breadcrumbs it leaves are amazing. UPDATE: I found a video of all of Dylan's dreams and I am definitely misremembering some details, but holy cow those scenes are amazing.

[@MrMythul]

[@roonkolos]

This game Hooboy was i surprised with this one ♡♡

[@latelotus]

I'm so glad you decided to revisit this game. That Control video you did years ago was great.

[@soumyakantigiri]

I just want them to balance their gameplay, improve directions, give difficulty level settings (since XP system missing), cancel re-deploying enemies every visit of the area as grinding/levelling system not part of their mechanics, etc. The game was so frustrating at times that I have completed this game by picking up the 3rd time even though I loved every bit of this game.

[@ClaireMeeboon]

I AM SO HAPPY! When i saw that you discontinue the other control series. I was a bit sad but im so happy your picking this up again!

Question..so you said that the FDC found 7 slides originally. But then a few minutes later I heard you say that they were burned all except for polarises world slide. I'm sure it's just a small detail I missed or misheard but was wondering if you could help clear that up for me? Love the channel by the way. Admittedly I only just found you but I've listened to a handful of your lore videos and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say it's one of the best lore channels on KZbin. Right up there with Vatividyaa imo. You break everything down so neatly and throughly and even inject a bit of your own personality into the lore which is one of my favorite things about this channel.

[@TiptoeTheTank]

Hell yeah! From what I remember of the logs, the FBC found 7 burned up slides (only 1 was salvageable - the "Hand" slide), but when they interviewed little Jesse and then little Dylan, they gave different numbers. Jesse said there were 9 slides. Dylan said there were 8 slides. So, what happened to the other 1 or 2 slides is unknown! They might have been burnt up into nothing. Or maybe... they're still out there someplace. Huehuehuehueheuheuhe.
