10 days to hit 1m when it was on Gamepass and PS+ Extra isn't that great. This spinoff just looked off to me as soon as I saw it, the character design just doesn't feel like Control, felt like something else entirely, like some odd mix of Fortnite and Rage. Add on a low amount of content, and it just doesn't seem like a recipe for success.
I think that's what you might call putting a brave face on. I kind of feel for them because Remedy's a rare breed of independent developers putting out great quality cinematic games, but then again nobody asked for a multiplayer shooter spin-off to Control. I'm not even interested in trying it for free. Very much looking forward to Control 2 though.
Reused assets from Control and the fact they released it day one on both GP and PS+ Extra, I presume not only have they made back their money but also covered the cost at least because of those day one service releases. Sony and MS money can help a middling game make money for sure.
I read that it had a budget of 30 million euros, which to me seems much for a game like this. Source: https://investors.remedygames.com/capital-markets-day-2024/ -> Remedy’s business logic and value creation -> page 20.
I tried the game via streaming. I couldn't get into it. I was hoping for something like Left 4 Dead with fairly large levels to explore for each mission, but it only took me like 30 minutes to complete 2 of the 5 levels. One of the levels I did solo. I stopped playing after that.
I read the levels have a fair bit of replay value, but I haven't played the game myself, so I could certainly be wrong. Seems like there isn't very much content though, even if replay value is good.
I think each difficulty adds something new, but even then I dont think it would take very long to see everything the game offers.
