Remedy Entertainment is in the middle of developing its new game Control, where during an awesome interview with Game Informer we're finding out a bunch of new information about the game in a 94 rapid-fire question video.
First and foremost, the entire game takes place in a single location in New York City called 'The Oldest House' but Control's game director Mikael Kasurinen said that it's a "complicated, shifting" place. The world of Control is always in flux, with traits of previous games like Quantum Break influencing the development of this game.
Control will have absolutely no multiplayer, it will have DLC, there are not multiple difficulty, and the game is "not linear at all". The visuals of Control are inspired by legendary film director Stanley Kubrick, who directed 2001: A Space Odyssey (which is still impressive today, considering it was released in 1968, the year before men walked on the moon) with shapes and forms meaning a lot to the game.
This is some of what we can expect from Control, but watch the video for a seriously funny and informative insight into Remedy's next big thing. There are even some sly digs at Microsoft, which are hilarious.
