Control has been widely praised for its impressive visuals and level design. Apart from great graphics and lighting, the game also supports a spectacular amount of destructible objects. Everything combined creates a scene that’s dripping with atmosphere and creates a breathing, lived-in world.
Many of these aspects are defined early on during pre-production. During pre-production, the art teams at Remedy made a lot of artwork to try and visualize the art-direction the developers had to go in. Now that the game is out there, Remedy has allowed their artists to release much of the material created. It’s incredible! It’s quite a feat to have hand-drawn pictures match up so good with the eventual materials we can now experience.
If you’d like to browse through these artworks, Kotaku recently compiled some of the best ones in one article. Truly a feast for your eyes!
