Control PC First Look: the most impressive ray tracing game to date?



Does Control from Remedy offer the best RTX visuals? And how is the game in general? John played it at E3 and he joins a very excited Alex to take a closer look at the RT implementation.

  3. lets get to the point ray tracing is good but you cant really use it in games wast of money need more time for this new tec to get better graphics cards to use it even the 2080 ti cant do it you have to turn all the rez down and settings just to play it in 1080p wow wast of money this is why i havent brought the 2080ti i just stick with my 1080ti untill the next new cards come out and see what that can do

  5. The only people complaining about the rtx are the ones who have never tried it, youtube videos pale in comparison to the actual experience itself I'm sorry. This game is a brilliant experience with rtx enabled, try it yourself before you start judging.

  7. Ray Traced, the next generation of bullshit everyone will disable from Nvidia.

  8. At this point you could use game engines to create CGI for movies.
    If a $3000 PC can run this at 4k 60fps, just imagine what it could render at 1FPS, which is still hundreds of times better than how much it takes to render CGI used in movies.
    It already has lifelike effects, lighting, reflections, and materials in real time, with great looking, high resolution textures, with only a time problem, from time to time you can find pretty low polygon models(top tier in games, not in CGI)

  9. Is this really one of those Epic exclusives? If so, then that really is a bummer.
    I hope they have not killed this game with boringly long cutscenes like they did with Quantum Break.

  10. Have to say that i prefer the looks without RTX. With RTX on it looks like everything has been covered in a coat of high gloss clear coat. If this is supposed to sell me on RTX it's doing the exact opposite.

  11. how could anyone thumb this down. these guys do an awesome job of analyzing.

  12. When are you guys going to have a video for the console version of the game?

  13. Why doesn't this game have 4k HDR support on xbox one x, but it has ray tracing support for PC. I am confused about why we would get the short end of the stick. I was hoping for a beautiful visual experience, just as much as a gameplay experience.

  14. When is the frame rate tests on consoles coming?

    ReplyDelete
  15. i need to know how it fairs on base consoles, either xbox one or ps4. Thanks in advance

  17. Dat blur. Is that 720p on a 1500$ GPU...

  18. Oh boy i'm having Gta ENB flashbacks where the whole city is flooded just to provide some "Next gen reflections"

  19. I purchased Control today and just before going to sleep I fired it up and maxed all settings including Full ray tracing..wow! I’m going to play this all weekend, it looks unreal, not wait, it looks...real

  20. very poor geometry detail but at least we have 434324 wet reflecting floors and 21245 shiny pipes.

  21. Doesnt look that great to be honest

    ReplyDelete
  22. Ray Tracing overkill alert!...everything looks too reflective and shiny.

    ReplyDelete
  23. I have never seen there is shadow at wall corner in real life. It's weird when I saw it in games every time.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Just bought a 2080 super and got a free pre-order code for control. What are the chances it's actually run half way decent with rtx on?

    ReplyDelete
  25. So RTX is unrealistic shiny floors?

    ReplyDelete
  26. If it's on EGS only, the game doesn't exist. Shame on you Remedy.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I hope they keep the rtx on/off macro in the game too.

  28. I want Metro Exodus style GI that is applied to lots of other light sources. It's amazing how much that one option can make a game look so much more believable. I want a game with Metro Exodus geometry and lighting and with Battlefield V's materials and reflections. Graphics could hardly improve over something like that.

  29. I want to know more about the xbox one x version.

  30. Ray tracing 🤣🤣🤣 marketing gimmick 😂😂😂 keep paying $1500 for the rtx 2080ti🤣🤣🤣

  31. Can you imagine a new Half Life game on tech like this!?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Can't wait to buy this on Steam... Oh wait....🤭

  33. RTX is a hacky immatation of photorealistic graphics just like all other rasterization hybrid techniques. It just looks lacking especially for the hit to fps. Nothing can substitute real pathtracing. Too much hype, time and money being spent on another cheap lighting trick.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Why do people say cutscenes rob the game. I love the cutscenes in games. To me it icing on the cake.

    ReplyDelete
  35. remedy is what valve is if they kept making games

    ReplyDelete
  36. I'd still rather smooth gameplay than add ray tracing takes big bit on fps
