    A Control TV show would be amazing. The gritty Warehouse 13 reboot we didn't know we needed.

      These games practically aleady are shows! I'll be very disappointed if the shows don't feature kickass music by Poets of the Fall.

        Excuse me, neighbor, I believe you mean Old Gods of Asgard, thank you very much.

        But yes, please more Poets. That Ashtray stage is in my top five moments of gaming, right above the Children of the Elder God stage in the original Alan Wake.

        (the others are most likely: the intro to Saints Row IV, "Would you Kindly," and whatever more recent awesome event I happen to remember at any given moment)

      Mini-series maybe. I'd be afraid of something episodic. Give it an arc with a beginning, middle, and end like the game. And, good lord, that "Take Control" (Old Gods of Asgard) song still lives...

      And, good lord, that "Take Control" (Old Gods of Asgard) song still lives rent free in my head (and many playlists).

    I'm all for this partnership if it means Remedy doesn't have to partner with Epic again. It would be great if we would get Control 2 day one on Steam.

      That would be fantastic, I refuse to use Epic due to their terrible business practices. If Remedy can get out from under them that would be so good.

        I don't know if we know if there is any deal with Epic beyond them publishing Alan Wake 2. I certainly hope not.
