[RTX PREVIEW] Gamescom 2019: Ray Tracing Is Highly Focused At The Event!
     The Digital Weekly
After watching some sequences of Control’s gameplay, we will relate it to Quantum Break. Quantum Break was also developed by Remedy, and it looks like it is based on its code. Gameplay mechanics of the game is a joy to watch, and the character can use her mere supernatural powers in a lost city. This game’s gameplay is enough to build hype, and it truly deserved it. We will see more action when the game will release on 27th August.

[RTX PREVIEW] Gamescom 2019: did ray tracing finally find its killer app?
     Eurogamer
There were many highlights for Digital Foundry at this year's Gamescom, from the impressive Switch line-up to the hugely impressive retro-inspired Wrath: Aeon of Ruin. We'll be covering both of those soon - but with the absence of any next-gen console reveal, it was Nvidia that provided the most tantalising glimpse of the future of games technology. Almost one year after its RTX video cards launched, there's the sense that support for hardware-accelerated ray tracing is gathering momentum and in Minecraft RTX, there's a near-total implementation of RT that sets the imagination on fire.

[RETROSPECTIVE] La Storia Di Remedy Entertainment: Un Racconto Pieno Di Proiettili
     IGN Italia / Italian
Martedì 27 agosto segnerà il ritorno di Remedy Entertainment, con il suo primo progetto multipiattaforma dopo due lanci in esclusiva Xbox. Gli autori di Max Payne si ripresenteranno su PC, PlayStation 4 e Xbox One con Control, un’avventura dalle tonalità “new weird” che unisce le meccaniche da sparatutto in terza persona, tanto care al team di sviluppo finlandese, all'esplorazione dei metroidvania. Ma quali sono le origini di questa software house dedita tanto all’azione quanto alla narrazione? Ripercorriamo i passi compiuti dalla squadra capitanata da Sam Lake per scoprirne le gesta e spianare la strada a uno dei giochi potenzialmente più sorprendenti dell’anno.

[PREVIEW] Control gespielt: Das Physik-Wunderwerk wird Max Payne meets Inception
    PCWelt / German
Control lässt uns mit offenen Mündern zurück. Zu brillant ist die Inszenierung, zu genial die Physikengine der PC-Version, die wir ausführlich auf Nvidias Raytracing-Showcase anspielen. Es ist ein Werk vom Studio hinter Max Payne, Alan Wake und Quantum Break, die hier den technischen Benchmark ein gutes Stückchen höher setzen.

[INTERVIEW]『CONTROL（コントロール）』斬新なアクションの下に隠されたRemedyらしい語りの美学【gamescom 2019】/ Japanese
     Famitsu
マッグス氏がデモの冒頭で見せてくれたのが、ジェシーと職員との会話のシーン。マッグス氏によると、会話シーンでプレイヤーが選択して、いろいろな話を聞けるのは、Remedyのゲームでは初めてとのこと。「これは、ストーリーをプレイヤーにコントロールしてもらえるようにしたかったから」とのこと。どれだけ深くストーリーに入っていけるかは、プレイヤーが決めればいいという発想だ。つまり、そこまでストーリーを深く知りたくない人は、適当なところで会話を切り上げればいいし、より深く『CONTROL』の世界観を知りたい人は、NPCとの会話を最後まで進めればいいのだ。
