Putting Control Resonant Under A Microscope Is Rewarding In An Unexpected Way https://ift.tt/BWydxQs Over many years, I've written tens of thousands of words covering the Remedy Connected Universe, the Finnish studio's world tying the Alan Wake and Control series together. This is a team that loves rewarding players who notice the smaller details and go off the golden path in search of morsels of understanding. Connecting dots is often much of the fun in a Remedy game. To my surprise, that side of the developer wasn't on display much in Control Resonant. There are definitely a few nods, and one chain of side quests in particular seems to have greater implications for the studio's future connected-universe games, but overall, I was taken aback by how disinterested Resonant was in tying itself to Remedy's bigger picture. However, it was by looking for those hidden details that I discovered something else I ended up loving about the sequel in a different way. ...
After crushing the box office back in March, Project Hail Mary is coming to Blu-ray this August. You can pick it up in the usual 4K Blu-ray, standard-def Blu-ray, and DVD formats, but it's the lavish steelbook edition that caught our eye. Priced at $50 and hitting store shelves on October 11, this version of the film features striking collectible cover art and other goodies. While this edition is currently out of stock, it's worth keeping an eye out for that to change.

Special edition steelbook cover and slipcase
Collectible booklet
New bonus materials exclusive to this edition
Audio commentary track with film directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller
The standard 4K version of Project Hail Mary keeps things light, with deleted scenes, a featurette, and the audio commentary track featuring film directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Amazon has the lowest preorder price out of all the major Blu-ray retailers, and thanks to its preorder price guarantee, you won't be hit with any unexpected fees when it finally arrives in August. Remember though: you'll only pay for the Blu-ray after it ships, not when you place your preorder.
For the standard Blu-ray release, Project Hail Mary ships with the same special features as the 4K edition and in 1080p. The cover for this version remains the same.
Curiously, the DVD version of Project Hail Mary is slightly more expensive than the standard Blu-ray. It doesn't include any of the special features above, and since it's a DVD, the movie is presented in 480p.
Based on the book by Andy Weir, Project Hail Mary tells the story of science teacher Ryland Grace after he wakes up on a spaceship lightyears from Earth--with no memories of why he's in space. Grace slowly starts to remember bits and pieces, and discovers that he's humanity's last hope, and the only person who can solve the mystery of why the Sun is slowly dying. It was a big splashy hit at the box office, making over $683 million during its theatrical run, and for good reason. It's the kind of spectacle filmmaking that makes the 4K Blu-ray editions worth checking out.
The movie did so well, in fact, it's already got an official Lego set.
Priced at $100, the 830-piece set launches on July 16, and it includes all the pieces you need to build a replica of the Hail Mary interstellar spacecraft, plus minifig versions of Grace, and his alien pal Rocky.
