Control Resonant: Remedy Details PS5 Features

Just before its release, Remedy Entertainment, in conjunction with the official PlayStation Blog, has extensively detailed what Control Resonant will technically offer on PS5 and PS5 Pro. The focus is on the available graphics modes, the utilization of DualSense features, and initial information regarding the game's length.

What Graphics Modes Does Control Resonant Offer on PS5 and PS5 Pro?

As is common with most major PS5 titles, Control Resonant will feature multiple selectable graphics modes, balancing between higher resolution and higher framerates. On the PS5 Pro, the game further benefits from the more powerful hardware, which, according to Remedy, allows for noticeable improvements, particularly in lighting and particle effects – an aspect for which the Control series was already lauded for its atmosphere in the first installment.

How Does Control Resonant Utilize the DualSense Controller's Features?

Beyond raw graphical power, Remedy is also emphasizing the unique features of the DualSense controller. According to the announcement, Adaptive Triggers and haptic feedback will be specifically utilized to make the protagonist's supernatural abilities and the intensity of combat feel palpable – an approach that some of the most successful PS5 exclusive titles have already employed to differentiate themselves from simple graphical upgrades.

Our Take: Sony and Remedy communicating technical details so close to launch is a common strategy for major PS5 productions. It aims to build additional confidence that the console version is not only rich in content but also technically cutting-edge. For fans of the original Control, it's particularly relevant that the series is clearly continuing its consistent focus on dense atmosphere and a supernatural setting, technically as well.
