Remedy Entertainment has unveiled its latest title, Control Resonant, a sequel to the critically acclaimed Control. This new installment redefines open-world exploration through innovative gravity-bending mechanics, set against a surreal backdrop of a twisted New York City. Players can expect to flip, twist, and fly through environments reminiscent of Inception, blending meta storytelling with inventive platforming elements akin to Super Mario Galaxy. This unique combination showcases Remedy's distinctive approach to game development.
Gameplay and Mechanics
Control Resonant places players in the role of Dylan, the brother of Jesse Faden, the protagonist from the original game. The narrative revolves around the Federal Bureau of Control (FBC) as they combat the Hiss and other interdimensional threats that have begun to invade Manhattan. Unlike its predecessor, which was primarily a shooter, Resonant emphasizes melee combat, allowing Dylan to wield a shapeshifting weapon that can transform into various forms, such as a whip or a hammer.
The game features a large open world, a departure from the confined spaces of the Oldest House in the original title. Players will navigate a cityscape where buildings twist and gravity behaves unpredictably. Initially, the gameplay may feel familiar, as players undertake missions and defeat bosses. However, as they progress and unlock new abilities—such as flying, dashing, and wall-walking—the experience evolves into a thrilling exploration of the environment, reminiscent of...
Taco Bell Struggles with Traffic Recovery Post-Outbreak
Months after a cyclospora outbreak linked to iceberg lettuce, Taco Bell continues to face significant challenges in customer traffic. The outbreak, which affected nearly 20,000 individuals, has officially ended, but the fast-food chain's recovery has not been as straightforward.
Impact of the Outbreak
The outbreak, attributed to lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms, prompted Taco Bell to remove affected ingredients, including lettuce and cilantro-onion mix, from its menu. Despite these efforts, customer visits plummeted by 18.1% by mid-July, with a further decline to 30.9% just days later, compared to the chain's average traffic earlier in the year, as reported by Restaurant Business.
Promotional Efforts and Ongoing Challenges
In response to the downturn, Taco Bell implemented aggressive promotional strategies, including deep discounts on popular items. From July 6 to September 11, when the CDC declared the outbreak over, visits per location were still down 12.2% year-over-year, according to data from Placer.ai.
