Games by developer Remedy Entertainment have had Easter eggs in their titles for many years, with 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Alan Wake referencꦜing the Max Payne series while Quantum Break not only references Max Payne but also has several references to the future title Control.
As the latest of Remedy's titles, Control naturally has many references to past games, though there are far more references to Alan Wake than any other game in their lineup. Considering the fact that Alan Wake makes an appearance in the AWE expansion and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:is in desperate need of a sequel, this should be no surprise.
9 Night Springs🎐
In Alan Wake, players could find various TVs around its spooky levels that would play a Twilight Zone-esque show called Night Springs, which would reveal various strange occurrences in the world. Although it was canceled sometime between Alan Wake and Control, Jesse can find a memo that describes how the FBC brought the show back from the dead as a way to introduce 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:paranormal phenomenon to🌸 the wider world, though none of the e💎pisodes can be viewed in Control.
8 The Oh Deer Di༒ner Coffee Thermoses
The main collectible in Alan Wake was the Oh Deer Diner coffee thermoses, which were spread all around the game. After the Bright Falls AWE was investigated by the FBC, scientists discovered these thermoses and tried to find out if there were Altered Items or simple thermoses. In a memo found in Control, they apparently discovered that it had the ab𓄧ility to keep coffee warm no matter how long it was left inside the thermos, but they showed no abilities that were as deadly as many of the other Altered Items.
7 ꧋ Typewritten🍨 Page
A❀nother Altered Item cataloged from the Bright Falls AWE, the Typewritten Page is also from a reference to Alan Wake, specifically, how he writes reality in order to change th✨e world how he sees fit.
♕According to the memo describing this item, it was found inside the Oceanview Motel, which further supports the theory that the Motel is actually a gateway to multiple realities, including the Dark Place, and even references Alan Wake b🍸y name.
6 Old Gods Of Asgard 💯 🎶
Although they don't always use the name Old Gods of Asgard, the Finnish rock band Poets of the Fall have been in nearly every one of Remedy's games since Max Payne 2, where they performed the theme for the title, Late Goodbye. In both Control and Alan Wake, they take on an alternative name with Old Gods of Asgard, where they not only perform The Poet and The Muse for Alan Wake and The Happy Song for Alan Wake's American Nightmare, b🥃ut also Take Control for the Ashtray Maze sequence in Control. In a hidden room in Control, you can also find a recording of My Dark Disquiet, one of Poets of the Fall's songs from their album Ultraviolet.
5 💯 Dylan's Ramblings
When Jesse 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:meets Dylan for the first time in several years inside the FBC, he begins speaking incoherently about many dreams he has had over the years, usually referring to a different reality that he has seen due to the events of the Ordinary AWE. However, he also talks about a mysterious Mr. Door, a writer that wrote about a po🅺lice officer who later became real. This is a reference to Alan Wake, as he is known for writing the Alex Casey crime novels that would later become the source of Max Payne's existence in his own reality.
4 🐻 Bright Falls AWE 🉐
The biggest Easter egg that connects Alan Wake to Control, which is very easy to miss if you haven't played through the AWE expansion, is the fact that the FBC investigated the Bright Falls AWE after the conclusion of Alan Wake. Unlike most other AWE, the Bright Falls AWE is, according to FBC memos, a recurring event that springs up every few years to repeat the 💝same events over and over again. As the Dark Place is likely an alternate universe that connects to the Oceanview Motel, it is possible that a future Control or Alan Wake title will return to Bright Falls in the future.
3 Alan Wake Flagged As A 𒀰Potential Prime Candidate
In yet another easy to miss memo, it is revealed that Alan Wake was, at one point, considered for the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Prime Candidate program to become a future Director of th🧸e FBC. This is most likely due to his ability to alter reality on an enormous scale, as it is implied that he wrote the events ℱof Max Payne and Control into existence, as well as possibly even creating the Hiss.
This also lines up with Jesse and Dylan b𒆙eing considered due to the powers they gained while tampering with the Slide ꩵProjector, as well as their interactions with Polaris.
2 🎉 ༒ Thomas Zane
In one of the audio files that you can find relatively early in the game, Jesse is heard talking to a therapist about the works of a poet named Thomas Zane, who she idolizes and reads his work back to the therapist. While the therapist reveals that he doesn't exist, he is likely the same Thomas Zane from Alan Wake, meaning that, while she hasn't shown the capacity for it yet, Jesse may be able to travel between realities without the assistance of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Objects of Power or Altered Items.
1 The Oce🌊anview Motel
There's a fairly substantial fan theory that the doors in the Oceanview Motel that Jesse isn't able to walk through all connect to other realities and other Remedy titles, which is fu🌞rther supported by the fact that the Typewritten Page was found inside the Motel as well. While it's not something that is explained in detail in the game, the symbols on the doors all have names within the game's code, with the spiral symbol being called Alan Wake, while another is simply called Control 2. This could mean that not only is Control getting a sequel at some point in the future, but that it could also take place inside Bright Falls or the Dark Place from Alan Wake.
