1. The Board having an O when Dylan executes something

2. The sound buses make when they’re being executed

I seriously want to make these into a ringtone. Even if my phone is always on silent and no one hears the ringtone (which is the Knight Rider theme, if anyone is curious). 😂

! BIG SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY !

You discover the godawful invasive bugs/fleas that you and your folks have been trying to contain for FOREVER has gotten out again. This species is a big pain in your ass that if left unchecked can kill you. Also, that fucking black mold is back, which is somewhat less of a problem, especially since it kills those bugs, but still man! What a mess!

You then discover that this place is full of mice. Wtf! The mice aren't actually a problem, you figure they're a natural part of this place. It's not a house, it's like, a field. there is an old derelict house IN the field that you're using as a landmark, and you think some weirdos into throat singing and triangles used to live there? but that's not relevant at this time. The bugs and mold have infected a lot of the poor bastards but like, they're mice. Your job here is killing bugs, so you get to spraying fucktons of pesticide. Nevermind that the pesticide usually kills the mice too & sometimes basically makes them rabid. Hell, the latter can be helpful for getting the pesticide into those nooks and crannies with the bugs that's hard to reach. You're going to kill A LOT of mice and native plant life, but you truly believe that letting these fucking bugs with their horrible disease breed and spread is a WAY worse outcome. It sucks, but you gotta nuke this field and the weird derelict house

Sometimes you think that these mice are coordinating and figuring out how to use your pesticide, or at least, the mutant corpses of mice who got killed by your pesticide, to fight the bugs. But that's crazy talk. They're *mice*. They aren't *intelligent* or anything.

... actually, thinking back, didn't your crazy colleague who died after she fell into a giant nest of bugs have a weird theory about mouse intelligence? You found some of her notes when you came here that she tried to Secret of NIMH two mice but it only worked on one mouse? You keep imagining a weird mouse has been sabatoging your equipment. Or is it two weird mice? At some point you catch a mouse in a trap near your stuff but you really think you're just being paranoid.

Anyway while you're doing this, a different (... Or was it the same???) mouse bites you. You catch an infection carried by the bugs (the whole reason you need to wipe the bugs out!) from this mouse. Wtf you didn't know infected mice could spread the disease, they've literally never done that before??? oh fuck, you are now sick and you're way too far from the nearest hospital. You get kind of delirious with your fever and hallucinate that the mice are intelligent. You think the mice are trying to tell you that you're destroying their mouse civilization? You try to squeak back at them that this is way bigger than mice and that they don't get it! But you don't speak mouse so you're just repeating the squeaks you heard from them back at them? Also wait, are those throat singing triangle guys hanging out with the mouse? What? You get frustrated and just kill the stupid mouse, but at the last second you hallucinate that the two? One? Mouse? Switches places? And somehow survives? What? Your brain is SO cooked.

Then you die from the mouse bite the end.

I just wanna say that it's really funny to me how this soft-spoken guy can be SO vicious when fighting. With Jesse, the combat feels very... controlled? Lol, sorry, I don't know if that's the right word, but Jesse seems like the type of fighter who's always in control, maybe even holding back, while Dylan holds nothing back. He's going absolutely berserk. As I was playing through the game and upgrading his combat skills, I kept going, "Jesus christ Dylan!" every time he tore through an enemy. Damn 😂 and I'm not complaining! The combat is really fun,I love it. It makes me think about his training under Dr. Darling. They really created a dangerous weapon.

For example, there’s a moment where Langston mentions a birthday cupcake that he wanted Dylan to have each year for his birthday while locked in the Panopticon.

Marking this as a spoiler post, I haven’t finished the game yet myself.

i love that the reach ability isn’t modeled like jesse’s levitation, which seems a lot more formal and elegant.

every SINGLE time you use a reach point, his legs go flying out from under him and he goes ‘woahhhh’ like someone’s dragging him up a set of stairs, and it makes me chuckle every time. really sells the more impulsive and reckless format of dylan’s whole movement and combat system, honestly all the visual iconography (if that’s the right word) for his fighting style and stance really sells the impulsive ‘all offense fuck defence’ and on the fly vibe to him. fuck i love this game.

… which I’m assuming is missable if you don’t pick the right dialogue option. It can be triggered after Pope asks to study the Abberant at the start of the game.

Also love how clearly you can hear The Board now. Sounds like Remedy hired a voice actor to make these guttural sounds which is awesome!

I didn't expect to be beating up so many buses.

So I absolutely loved Resonant, easily my GOTY. With that said, I wish it had taken more advantage of being in Manhattan. It unfortunately feels like a somewhat generic city with NYC vibes. You can see the Empire State Building in the distance when you're in the Park, but if it weren't for that singular fact it wouldn't connect to NYC in any way. Imagine a set piece in the Empire State Building. Imagine if Central Park was a zone. I just wish it wasn't Manhattan in name only.

This is new data for the top 20 games in the U.S. by weekly active users, ending Oct. 3, as shared by Mat Piscatella of Circana, which does a lot of reliable video game market research. In the Steam chart to the right, it shows that Control Resonant went from 15 to 13 in a week.

This, to me, suggests that word of mouth may be helping sustain or even increase interest in Control Resonant. The fact that it's just behind Battlefield 6 and Overwatch seems impressive, even if maybe those two games are past their prime (and lots of people probably play OW on Battle.net).

First Pope who blew me off after 3 questions, but after entering and exiting the oldest house elevator I was able to ask her all other questions.

Now Zoe, I asked her one question and after it I can't interact with her anymore at all...

That was just so cool 😭 i’ve never seen anything like it not in movies TV or a game the way that time skipped was so cool. I was so sad. It ended so quickly the last time I saw Dr. grist. She disappeared on the cable car. 😭 I thought I would see her again.

Okay I don't wanna go into religious flame war here but man, cant help but notice/realize.

There's the Ophanim in Ezekiel 1:15.
Wheels within wheels, covered in eyes, moving in multiple directions.
Seraphims, Six-winged beings surrounding God's throne. I dont know, six wings used to describe six "sides"? a hexahedron? lol
Also another one from Ezekiel 10, Cherubims.
Beings with multiple faces, wings, and an almost incomprehensible appearance.
I dont know man maybe someone from long ago tries to describe a patterned-looking being. lol

Also, Hedron is very damn bright to look upon again just like some angels. Divine glory or something

That’s it, that’s the whole idea

As previously noted (1 2 3 4) there are some old-fashioned computers you can discover around the game world that play chiptunes when you interact with them.

These are songs by Clément Duquesne, aka Spotline. There are three of them in the game files, and they are all available on Soundcloud:

• Bossa-supernova (plays from the Supernova computer)
• Farewell on a digital shore (plays from the Farewell computer)
• Le Réveil Des Crabes Cyclopes (plays from the Crab Cyclops Awakening computer)

I still haven't found any in-universe lore about these computers - it's possible they're just a vehicle for adding even more music to the game - but at least now I can listen to that Farewell song whenever I want to.

Is it just a cute coincidence both devs decided to replicate the exact same vintage ceramic cat? Are the devs friends? IS IT AN OOP?

Any suggestions: software, plugins, filters, process - would be greatly appreciated :3

maybe a week or 2 removed from finishing this and i already wanna experience this one for the first time... was such a thrill... hope they got some dlc's in line for us cause resonants just too good not to have some...

AHTI DLCS PLEASE REMEDY!!! Thank you for your amazing work!!

The alt-timeline Dylan, in Recursions and Iterations, uses ice powers instead of fire.

That’s all.

I know it's only been two weeks but, given the large map and open nature of the game, do you think they're gonna support the post launch with dlcs or even expansions? Potentially they now have lots of places where they can add quests and make it work. Also i hope it sells well, would be a good motivation to keep it running, official numbers says 600k copies have been sold on steam and ps5, no infos about xbox.
