E3 2018: 12 Showcased Video Games We Still Know Nothing About
8. Control
Control is perhaps the first game on this list to be in the good bracket of games we know nothing about. A brand new IP, the trailer was substantial enough to offer a few hints as to what the game was about but was mental enough to make us stop and go wtf.
The game looks to be some form of psychological thriller that takes place on a space station. There is manipulation of gravity, crazy telekinetic powers and bafflingly bizarre visuals that would make Death Stranding raise an eyebrow.
This is how you cultivate intrigue for a new IP. Instead of just hinting at things, the game shows what it's got but not in a way that answers all the questions. It creates more questions than it answers, and leaves the viewer, in a completely unfrustrated way, knowing nothing concrete about the game.
In a good way...
