Remedy Entertainment, purveyor of consistently excellent action games, is back. The creator of Max Payne, Alan Wake and Quantum Break returns on August 27 with Control, and we’ll be running an IGN First on the game all this month.
So let’s begin at the beginning, shall we? In the video above, you’ll get a look at the game’s opening sequence, introducing heroine Jesse Faden as she enters the mysterious Federal Bureau of Control for the first time, and quickly discovers that things have gone very wrong indeed. It’s a quiet, strange, beautiful intro, and one that introduces many of the game’s main characters.
In fact, if you’re a Remedy fan, you might spot some familiar faces and hear some familiar voices in here: Jesse is played by Courtney Hope (Beth Wilder in Quantum Break); Max Payne himself, James McCaffrey takes on the role of the ill-fated Director Trench; and Matthew Porretta, the voice of Alan Wake, appears as Head of Research Dr. Casper Darling. Control director Mikael Kasurinen tells me that, in some ways, this feels like a culmination of all of Remedy’s work up until this point, and the cast lives up to that assertion.
