Control Developer Video Diary: How to deal with Hiss?

In the latest Control Dev Diaries, Director Mikael Kasurinen, Lead Designer Paul Ehreth, Senior Game Designer Thomas Hudson, and Game Designer Sergey Mohov talked about the main enemy players will face in upcoming fighter.

According to the story of the game, after the Hiss appeared in the Oldest House (the skyscraper in which the events of the game will take place), this otherworldly force influenced or took control of many aspects of the structure, including some objects. The hiss will try to do everything to eliminate the one who tries to stop him. In our case, we are talking about a player in the person of the new director of the Federal Bureau of Control - Jesse Fayden.

The heroine will be able to cope with difficulties with the help of special abilities and her own supernatural weapons that can take on different forms and be modified. As the game progresses, more and more abilities and options for changing firearms will open up. Some will be able to develop skills that allow them to quickly get close to enemies and attack them at close range with powerful and inaccurate weapon modifications. Others will be able to keep a respectful distance, relying more on accuracy. Third, stick to a compromise approach.

There will be bosses in the game. The most powerful developers from Remedy are called "The Tempest" - these are dangerous and strong opponents, distinguished by powerful shields. In battles with such enemies, you will need to especially skillfully combine Jesse's diverse and complex abilities with firearm attacks.

The creators also note that the gameplay will diversify a lot of dynamic elements that allow the player to actively improvise and play the game in their own manner. For example, the heroine will be able to actively use the “Shield” ability, turning the surrounding debris into dynamic armor in front of her, which she can use not only to protect herself from bullets, but also as a throwing weapon against enemies. One of the abilities will allow you to subdue the selected enemy, directing him against the adherents of the Hiss.

Enemies with shields must first be attacked with abilities, and after the defense is destroyed, firearms must be used. It will be possible to move not only on foot, but also using abilities like rolling between shelters or even levitation.

Publisher 505 Games will release Control on August 27 for PC, Xbox One, and PS4. Price in the Epic Games Store is ₽1299, pre-orders are already being accepted.
