Last month, Remedy revealed the official PC requirements for Control. However, last week the team lowered the game’s PC specs, something that puzzled a number of gamers. Due to these lower PC specs, some gamers began wondering whether the PC version was downgraded. Thankfully, Remedy states that the game has not been downgraded on our platform.
As Remedy’s PR manager Thomas Puha wrote on Resetera, Remedy has not downgraded the PC version of Control.
“No, its not downgraded.”
Still, it remains a mystery as to how Remedy was able to reduce the game’s PC requirements. Were the initial PC specs too high or is the team trying to make the game appear “lighter” than it actually is?
Control will release on August 27th and promises to feature some truly great visuals. The game will be using the Northlight Engine, and will take advantage of real-time ray tracing effects. Remedy will be using real-time ray tracing for reflections, contact shadows, diffuse global illumination and transparent reflections.
Stay tuned for more!

Translation: PR BS…
Yeah, well… cdpr said the same for W3 and we all know how that went…
CDPR didn’t say that but cool FUD
Except they did say that… but uncool FUD.
Yeah, they did, check your facts. One of their employees said it on the forums two months prior to release and after the downgraded trailers
Indeed. Plus their top guys also stated it in an interview with Eurogamer.
Oh HE’S back, Squirrel brain is back. I recognize the use of “FUD” ANYWHERE. You can change your name all you want, we know it’s you squirrel brain. You’re the only one in the history of this website uses the term, “FUD”.
We shall ultimately see when the game comes out, but I hope this isn’t just PR BS and it’s actually true. We need games that push the upper limits of VG Graphics already.
Maybe they manage to optimize it….?
maybe…. https://media0.giphy.com/media/U3I5ZJPFJpXRm/giphy.gif

Remedy haistakoon pitkän vitun

Cue all the usual b.tching and whining.
It’s so random tom believe a dev would say “it’s not downgraded”, yet it now requires a step down from a higher end GPU,
We know some games demand more at 4k, and some settings are just asking for more juice, but these guys are trying so hard to push for Raytracing and they say “it’snot downgraded”?. I find that hard to believe.
Excellent news. So excited to play this.

Because he’s not a negative misery and has his own opinion you call him a shill, get over yourself.
You must be new here or are simply trolling for fun. Either is fine despite the misguided insults. If otherwise then you’re evidently a few sandwiches short of a picnic.
I fail to see anywhere where I supposedly insulted you.
No all his posts are trolling. You must be new here. In fact the 2 people who up voted you are also trolls.
>has his own opinion
lol check his comment history, known troll with copy/paste comments.
i will be pirating this game.
Just to piss you off.
