Arhi Makkonen, Senior Level Designer at Remedy Entertainment explains The world of Control Resonant will open “massively” after its first few hoursproviding us with tons of engaging content and giving us the freedom to choose what to do and where to go.
“After you beat the first few parts of the game, maybe an hour or two later, the world of Control Resonance opens up, and it’s huge and has different areas,” Makonen said. “After that Players will be able to explore what interests them most at the time: Do something in one area, then jump to another area and find this, this, and that. “
“They can decide whether they want to Focus more on the main mission and focus on the storyor solve more side quests, or discover other activities in the living world. Players will have a lot of freedom to choose where to go and when to go. ”
Control Resonance has gone gold, but physical release will be delayed
Speaking of side missions, Makonen explained that they will be “very narrative-focused and surprising because there’s a lot going on. Like in the first game, some of the side quests are Almost crazier than the main quest. So I think they’re almost equally full of interesting things to discover. “
But it won’t be an open world
Control Resonant is characterized by a duration ranging from thirty to fifty hours that will allow us to very big environment But as Remedy Entertainment has explained in the past, it won’t be an open world structure.
Therefore, aspects such as day and night cycles will not be present, but the game will try to overcome this flaw through a series of measures. Changes in environmental conditions and time Differences in different areas: “There will be different weather conditions and even different times of day,” the senior designer said.
Furthermore, these aspects are somehow related to the plot of Controlled Resonance: “In fact Different regions actually have their own “timetables” That’s part of the story,” Makonen explained. “They always stay the same, so they don’t change during the game. Everything is set. “
