luis4u Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Control: Ultimate Edition bundles together the base game, all its DLC, and every update and patch up to now for both PS5 and PlayStation 4 later this year. It's the typical re-release we see time and time again a year or so after a game's launch. However, this is the only version of the game that offers a free upgrade to the next-gen console. Essentially, what this means is that if you own a PS4 copy of Control right now, and even the Season Pass on top of that, you will now have to fork out cash for another version. That is despite you already owning the exact same content that the Ultimate Edition has to offer. As we said, this new version is just the bundling together of the base game, patches, and DLC. The only thing to it is that it allows for a free PS5 upgrade. This is quite the controversial move from Remedy and publisher 505 Games at it flies in the face of what every other gaming company is doing right now. For a full list of all free PS4 to PS5 game upgrades announced so far, head on through the link. Unfortunately, you won't find the base version of Control on there Edited August 12, 2020 by luis4u update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yowzagabowza Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 What sucks is that this probably means we won't get the last dlc until the new consoles are out. Last dlc becomes available, and instead of an update for next gen, they sell a "complete" edition at retail. Im not going to buy it again and don't really need it to be upgraded, I just want to get the dlc done so I can move on. I wish that was happening sooner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ResoluteRock Posted July 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) Hopefully this fixes the insane lag / frame rate issues. There's no way they didn't know about the performance issues before they released the game, and instead of patching it up, they're just porting it over to PS5. It's likely not a PS4 hardware problem because I've never played a game where the framerate stutters for a few seconds whenever you unpause the game. It's not the most complex and graphically-intensive game in the world so I'm sure these issues are definitely fixable. It sucks that they're ignoring it and just cashing in on a (presumably more polished) PS5 port instead. I liked the setting of Control and the gameplay. I hope they clean up any issues when releasing the PS5 version and allow PS4 owners to upgrade to the PS5 version for free. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay for this one again. I hope that the inevitable sequel addresses the shortcomings of this game because I could see this becoming a great IP.

Bluefalcon2210 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 It's great news I've been really looking forward to it for ages but never picked it up but I heard about the lag and briefly experienced it myself when I played it at an event last year for 5 mins so it coming to PS5 where it will hopefully fix those problems is perfect because Remedy is a fantastic studio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoveInHell Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Lmao everyone is whining when the reveal showed plenty new games than crossbuy/remasters/remasters of remasters + I suggest subscribing to Playstation on Youtube. Y’all need to brighten up a bit. Glad Control is coming to PS5, I bet it will look much better and its going to be a console that can actually handle a game like that.

Y’all need to brighten up a bit. Glad Control is coming to PS5, I bet it will look much better and its going to be a console that can actually handle a game like that. Personally I’ve got nothing against remasters. Played a number of them on PS4, and I really enjoyed going back and re-experiencing games I’d previously enjoyed. Control is likely a game that would really do well remastered as it did push the PS4 hardware and performance suffered in places. That said, it’s a bit odd to remaster a game that still has content pending. Whining aside, even though I enjoyed a lot of the remasters, you’ve gotta admit that they really did go back into that well a bit too much on PS4. It’s one thing to remaster some standout games, but there were also a lot of remasters of games that really didn’t warrant them, and really didn’t need (or didn’t get) much of an upgrade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infected Elite Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I was just about to finally cave and pay full price, but since its coming to ps5... im gonna wait for that. As others have stated, hopefully framerate is better etc. maybe they add a way point sometimes? (heard of people getting lost big time) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majob Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Everyone knows that Xbox owners will get the upgrade for free so they'd probably better let people know if PS4 owners will get a free PS5 upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you that collectible search in the 1st dlc was awful though so I'm hoping they do something besides that with the 2nd trophy set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
