Control Resonant turned up at today's State of Play showcase with a new gameplay trailer giving us our first up-close look at Dylan Faden's weird adventures in Manhattan—and folks, let me tell you: They were not kidding about it being an action RPG.
The original Control was, at its heart, a third-person shooter with a handful of bizarre abilities thrown in to keep things interesting. Control Resonant, looks to be all about the abilities: Dylan Faden (Control director Jesse Faden's brother, by the way, for those who haven't kept up with the story so far) wields a shapeshifting weapon called the Aberrant, but he also has powers that "extend beyond combat" and enable him to "traverse perception-bending locations and grapple with gravity anomalies that distort the vertical and horizontal plane."
