Remedy’s Control is a title we are really looking forward to. And according to its director, Mikael ‘Mixu’ Kasurinen, the game will be using a new physics engine that the team cannot reveal just yet.
As Kasurinen told VG247:
“There are elements to it that I’m not sure I can talk about. We have an awesome physics engine, that’s what I can tell you. We’re using middleware, but I’m not sure it’s information we can release yet.
I feel like there’s an opportunity with physics-based gameplay that I think some games have attempted in the past – great games like Psi-Ops and Second Sight, which we really like – but it was also limited in a way. I’m not saying Psi-Ops is a bad game, but they took an approach where you felt the limitations of the physics. We didn’t want to have it like: ‘Here’s this table you can pick up, but you can’t pick up the chair’. We wanted to have it so if it looks like you can pick it up, you can. If it looks like you can destroy it, you can.”
Now this really sounds great as it’s been a while since we saw a physics-based triple-A title. To Kasurinen’s credit, all the gameplay trailers for Control showcased this advanced new physics engine so this does not seem like a PR or an over-hyped statement.
Control will also take advantage of real-time ray tracing, so it will be interesting to see how the game will perform on the PC platform as Quantum Break – Remedy’s previous game – requires a really high-end GPU in order to be enjoyed with 60fps at 1080p (without its re-construction techniques).

middleware? so it is not in-house solution. havok? PhysX? bullet?
Euphoria?
the key to a good engine is to be able to trace rays.
Totally! 😀

damn i hate white people, you’ve been developing games for years and decades and i’ve never seen a single brown protagonist. whites are so racist but they keep crying about being oppressed. where’s your brown protagonist?we are always the bad guys in your game. i swear if i come to west i will fak so many white women that my dik turn white then if our kid is not brown i will dispose him/her. i want our kid to be completely brown with brown race features if our kid is slightly good looking or white i will kill it.
You’re the racist for making it about race, the west is white majority(for now). Are any of your protagonist white in your brown country?What about all those brown Bollywood movies and why would the protagonist be brown when brown people are less than 5% of the west?
Don’t feed the troll lmfao
Couldn’t help it and some of it makes no sense anyway. :p
which part didn’t make any sense?are you jealous?
“whites are so racist but they keep crying about being oppressed.”
“we are always the bad guys in your game”
“i want our kid to be completely brown with brown race features if our kid is slightly good looking or white i will kill it.”
Makes no sense.
1-whites are racist = makes perfect sense.
*whites killed blacks in american and germans killed blacks too
also white european countries dislike blacks and they never marry them
2-whites keep crying about being oppressed.
*whites on twitter and everywhere else cry, this doesn’t need proof at all just look at social media
3-w are always the bad guys in your game
*makes perfect sense, you always kill sand neegers as US marines in your game also sand neegers are portrayed as weak even though we beheaded and drove whites back to europe many times and you couldn’t do anything about it
4-“i want our kid to be completely brown with brown race features if our kid is slightly good looking or white i will kill it.”
just like the way whites hate their grandchildren to be brown or black, we hate our kids to look white too
again which part didn’t make sense?
You’re the racist, you’re just projecting your racism.
you’re the infamous troll here and accuse me of being a troll wow.
He’s black though, not “brown”, he probably means Indian or Pakistani
He’s an idiot, what do you expect.
Also wasn’t ezio auditore « brown »? I know he was italian but he certainly wasn’t « white » or maybe i dunno.
racist f*k
Hmmm…this game look so unappealing to me! When they first announced it @ E3…I was soo disappointed! Looks like a tech demo than a full fledged game! And it doesn’t feel unique at all!
What new physics engines have been made in the past few years? I can’t think of one, but what ever it is judging by the game-play they’ve shown off it looks quite nice when the character you play as does that move where it picks up objects and flings them about really quickly. I happen to think this maybe the first Sam Lake game since Max Payne that actually seems like it will be truly good and quite original. A TPS Metroidvania game? Sign me the hell up!
NVIDIA FleX was created a while ago and hasn’t seen much adoption but it’s capable of some amazing effects.
Thanks for telling me about it PB, going to check it out now.
NEVER stop progress
Oh wow! A reference to Psi-Ops. Nice. “I’m not saying Psi-Ops is a bad game.” Replayed it recently, and they wouldn’t have been wrong for calling it a bad game lol
middleware? so it is not in-house solution. havok? PhysX? bullet?
yeah the performance will be worse than Quantom Break even at 1080p
They ruined a perfect opportunity to make physics DLC.
