Control Resonant: Official Release and Unforeseen Piracy Incident
The paranormal action RPG, Control Resonant, developed by the Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment, renowned for titles such as the first two Max Payne games and Alan Wake 2, officially launched on PC and consoles on September 24. The game’s debut on Steam was met with an impressive reception, garnering ‘very positive’ user reviews, indicating strong player satisfaction with the new release.
Pre-Release Piracy Surfaces Ahead of Official Launch
Despite its successful official release, Control Resonant was unfortunately made available on torrent sites approximately 24 hours before its scheduled launch. This incident highlights the persistent challenges of piracy within the video game industry, where content protection measures are often tested even before official sales commence.
GamesVoice Initiates Russian Voiceover Funding
Coinciding with the game’s official availability, the GamesVoice team has announced a crowdfunding campaign to develop a Russian voiceover for Control Resonant. This initiative aims to enhance the immersive experience for Russian-speaking players, providing a professional localized audio track to complement the original game.
It’s a shame about the pre-release piracy, but I’m glad to see Control Resonant doing well on Steam. I’ve been playing it since launch, and the atmosphere and combat are just fantastic. The only real snag I’ve hit is the occasional frame rate dip during intense fights, even on a pretty beefy rig. My tip would be to tweak the volumetric lighting settings down a notch; it really helps smooth things out without a huge visual hit.
