CONTROL-5

Remedy confirms that Control will be better optimized and run faster than Quantum Break

Quantum Break is a game that pleasantly surprised me with its visuals. Sure thing, the game requires a really powerful PC system in order to be enjoyed, however it still looks great even today. Naturally, a lot of PC gamers have been wondering whether Control would be as demanding as Remedy’s previous title. And today, Remedy confirmed that Control will run better than Quantum Break.

As Remedy’s Head of Communications, Thomas Puha, wrote on Resetera, the engine powering Control has been greatly optimized. When questioned about the game’s performance, Thomas said:

“That was three years ago. Lot of optimization has happened since. You’ll know soon enough.”

What this ultimately means is that Control will run better than Quantum Break. I also expect the game to look better than it, and from what we’ve seen so far it will have a better destruction system.

As we’ve showcased, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti had trouble running Quantum Break with 30fps in 4K and on Ultra settings. Even in our custom 3325×1871 resolution, the game was only running with 40-46fps. As such, it will be interesting to see whether Control can run with 60fps in 4K/Ultra (obviously without the Ray Tracing effects).

505 Games has provided us with a review code so expect a day-1 PC Performance Analysis for this title!

  1. “As Remedy’s Head of Communications, Thomas Puha, wrote on REEEEsetera”

    Any dev who goes in that shthole is a instant boycott from me.

    1. RetardEra is where the gamejournos hang out. They sometimes organize campaigns of targeted harassment against devs, small companies and/or content creators on YT.

      1. …including doxing people and pressuring employers to fire devs who don’t march in lock-step with the extreme Far Left SJW hive mind politics espoused by Reeeeeeeesetera. The site is pure cancer.

    2. its called reset era because the guy who runs neogaf was accused of sexual misconduct so they left the site massive start a new one,They RESET THE CLOCK. Doing the exact sames sht they did in neogaf expecting things to change. Its so biased that you can praise kingdom come deliverance but not the head of the studio because he is a massive anti sjw so if you did they gonna ban you, they constantly ban people for disagreeing with them on anything but games. They are master sjws, they try to get devs they dont like fired or censor Japanese games. There is a twitter account called reseteratakes where if you go right now you will see how crazy the sjws nutjobs who post there are.

      If i had a wish it would be to nuke that site from existence and everyone in it..FOREVER.

          1. Really, well I am a Dev and I have never been there LOL 🙂 . I hang out here and other good gaming sites cause I like to talk to actual gamers because I am one of them and that is where I came from.

            Anyways that doesn’t sound like my sort of crowd. Come to think of it since I don’t come from a gaming school background and am self taught with a software engineering back ground and a lot of video gaming I am sure they would turn up their nose on me anyways 🙂

          2. game design school are indoctrination chambers. I see no future in AAA game design, too corportazied too many sjws. Samey design philosophies everything feels like it cake out a production line.

          3. Exactly, the schools are doing more harm then good I fear. This whole mentality that X way is the right/only way and if you are doing anything else it is automatically wrong will be the death of AAA.

            I really believe indie and AA or BBB what ever you want to call it will be the future. You really hit it on the nail with “Samey design philosophies everything feels like it cake out a production line.” this is what AAA is turning into, sucks 🙁 + feels bad Man. I really hope this will not be the future for them.

            All well the other group will gladly take over and that army is pretty massive and continually growing.

    3. Well, they are still keeping two threads alive, on Fire Emblem and “same s*x partners”, as if that’s super important to the entire franchise (it’s really not, it’s a game, not a simulation of life).

    1. If it’s true, that will be wonderful if it can run at 4k60fps.

      Most likely will run at 1440p60fps for me anyway, so even if it doesn’t that’s fine.

      1. Do you know how mad it makes me, saving up 2.5k for my 2019 Macbook Pro? Say what you want about them, lmao, look around, no one should fall into Gaming Laptop scams and so office laptops are left, notice how they all have a flaw the MBP doesn’t?

        What a joke lmao , The only ones you can prob offer in counter are those ASUS Zenbooks, but then at that point, you might as well buy a 2019 MBP .

  2. Should we give them a round of applause because they are doing nothing but just what have to be done?

  3. The problem with Quantum Break wasn’t even its performance. It’s that they forgot to put the game into the game

      1. If that’s what the game is then that’s pretty cool and could be rather interesting.

        Especially all the weird SCP Foundation inspired environments and story elements in the game

  4. of course a game with 0 textures and dull environments will run better. you only need a good video card to render all the shadows. thats about it

  5. Too bad I won’t be able to tell, because I’m not supporting that crappy exclusivity practice.

    Also, actions speak louder than words. Do not give us a promise that cannot be kept.

  6. “What this ultimately means is that Control will run better than Quantum Break”
    but will it actually be a fun game unlike quantum boredom?
