It had a big Impact on me


Max_Queue

I see what you did there


i__hate__stairs

I was rather proud of that one


fibgen

I know your type.


i__hate__stairs

Mighty bold of you to say


fibgen

You kern go to hell


i__hate__stairs

Oh man I wanted to make a kerning joke but I couldn't think of one. Ah well, I suppose it's fine. I'm still having a helvetica time.


fibgen

A comic, sans humor.


RelativelyDank

perfect delivery too, like a reliable courier


kingtigermusic

y'all really need to get with the Times


Truskulls

It made every new area feel important, and it's just cinematic as fuck. Absolutely love it!


YuYu-Spirit-Gun

Great way to put it


vagina_pee-butt

Control has the best fonts


LegsLikeThese

was really glad to see this carried over in AW2


uber_potatos

I dont care if it gets old they should do this in every game from now on


YuYu-Spirit-Gun

Whats AW2?


jlw74033

Alan Wake 2


Hennahane

Alan Wake 2, which is really excellent and contains a lot of direct references to Control.


JTS1992

Excellent? I personally thought it was a masterpiece. The user asking needs to play it A.S.A.P.


ngkn92

Advance War 2 Really good game on Gameboy Advance Got remaster recently for Nitendo Switch


Antrikshy

I haven't played it yet, but I'm really glad to hear!


Hennahane

I specifically loved the title card drop in AW2, the full-screen word-by-word flash with the music sting on every one *chef’s kiss*


Kitchen-Kiwi7942

Imagine wearing 3d glasses when this happens.


Max_Queue

I miss my 3D glasses 😕


Ice_90210

I was wearing 3D glasses I got from the movies and everything was blurry. Couldn’t see shit.


fartogonalilty

Imagine wearing inter-dimensional glasses when this happens...


ThomasCloneTHX1139

That was funny because I played the entirety of Control in stereoscopy (through ReShade with the SuperDepth3D.fx shader) with a homemade VR headset I built. It's neat to see that giant floating text when I enter a new area.


Kitchen-Kiwi7942

That must have been awesome!!


Kringkrang

Love that too. I was tryin to figure out what font that is. I was guessing some variant of Helvetica but it's apparently ITC Avant Garde Gothic https://fontsinuse.com/uses/48689/control-video-game


sensen6

Helvetica wouls have been equally great BUT it's very mundane and does not have this overpowering effect when all caps.


ProcyonHabilis

It's fucking sick on 5120x1440


cthulucore

d***U***Nnnnn Its awesome


MrBigTomato

It triggers my alphamegalophobia every time. Very effective at atmosphere.


Antrikshy

Did you make this up by attaching the alpha- prefix? 🤔


MrBigTomato

Yeah. I have an irrational fear of giant letters and numbers, and an official phobia doesn't exist for it, as far as I know.


Antrikshy

Do not look up the Pepsi-Cola sign in Long Island City! 🫣


Lucky-Ad5877

I love the title effect. I try to take a screenshot of each area as the title pops up. It’s tough because they are only up for a few seconds and even disappear when the screen is ‘frozen’ for the screenshot


superVanV1

That and the elevator opening on CONTROL was amazing


Machinax

I remember seeing that scene from the trailer, and I was *hooked*.


voidstronghold

Yes, I love it also. Really adds to the mood of the game.


Confident_Moose_2556

Just one of the many details that sets this game above for me. It has been extremely effective each of my, so far, 3 playthroughs.


sabris_abris

I liked it so much that I'm putting it into my own game.


Antrikshy

I absolutely love that detail, especially with the sound effect. I almost wish it appeared every time you traveled, but it would dilute the impact so much.


Max_Queue

Mr. Robot did it first, doesn't mean it's not cool AF.


TheDubiousSalmon

The Mr. Robot title cards were so good. There were a bunch of really creative ones, especially later on.


Olympian-Warrior

That's how you know when you're making progress. It's like a mini-chapter within an open world. I just finished the Foundation DLC last night. What a ride it was! Initially, I thought Control was kind of boring, but after buying a second copy for my Steam Deck, I just sat down and played through the whole game. I can't wait to see what Remedy does for Control 2. One thing, though: I don't like Jesse's Director outfit. She comes across as the kind of person who would just wear a leather jacket with jeans, and it's evident from the Foundation DLC that she wants to run the bureau her own way anyway.


MissAsgariaFartcake

This is so fucking cool, I loved it every time!!!


wabe_walker

The graphic design and art direction of this game is remarkable.


cam52391

It definitely made me jump a few times lol I think it's a perfect way to introduce the new areas it isn't frilly or anything it keeps the very old school office vibe that the oldest house has.


dj_cole

Loved it.


No_Cupcake_9921

I was recently watching Killing Eve and realized they use a similar effect. Art.


thecobaltwitch

Great game. Great show.


bbbysnare

I'm not sure if it's the right reference, but the cinematic effect and font always felt very Kubrick to me.


arjunghose02

I love it too.Makes it feels like a new chapter in the game or sumn
