The Marmounts make me think of the two current extremes of making content not only in video games, but in media in general. One extreme churns out content quickly just for the sake of having more. A quantity over quality approach (think the current state of something like Star Wars, Marvel, and Call of Duty). The other extreme is trying to make art without the artist. Things like A.I. assisted writing or digital art to make comprehensible storys, but the produced work often lacks any real substance or deeper meaning. I could be over thinking this, but I feel like Remedy is one of those rare companies that seems to make their art in an uncompromising way. It is the content they want to make. They could go in one of these extreme directions to possibly make more money or reach a bigger audience, but they would lose what makes the gaming studio special in the process.
The way that Jules talks about wanting to get revenge on Darling for making light of his discoveries made me wonder, are the Marmonts the reason why Dr. Darling is now trapped in the Dark Place? Time has always been a bit wonky both in Cauldron Lake and the Oldest House, plus we still aren't sure how Darling even ended up in the Dark Place in the first place. Mayhaps Jules invited him to the Lake House for a demonstration of the Painting and ended up accidentally banishing him into the Cauldron Lake Threshold. Im likely wrong and something else is afoot, but its an interesting concept considering both Marmonts' hatred for being shown up by others.
Well, the thing is, they reflected the Bad End of Alan Wake and Alice Wake's relationship. A stagnant loop of Darkness (the Shadow) instead of the Spiral. And the Question is, did they do that with the Artist entirely of their own Will? or did Alan/Mr. Scratch compel them to do it?
yd.3dyd.com/ this is my youtube downloader of choice .. if you mean the original files .. the lake house ones arent up yet .. but the rest of the RCU are on a google drive in my channel description :)
how I hate the control's level design, it turned out to be very stuffy for me, you walk through all these rooms again, you have no idea where to go, just like in control...
My man has discovered the point in the levels of Control, it's a federal office building, it's not going to feel lively, or even really all that energetic- outside of some case exceptions, like the ashtray maze. Even in the chaos of the Hiss corruption, the building is still mostly orderly, destruction only makes a mess of it, it's still drained of color. So that stuffy feeling is really more ideal for the design of Control.
Good god it’s like watching two Emil Hartman

The painting wasn't the monster in this DLC story, the Marmonts were the real monsters.
isn't that explicitly said?
@@motalux but this is what happens behind the whole experiment at the Lake House.
The recordings and the reactions from Estévez were priceless
What a lovely couple! Best example ever for a best marriage!
"It's a 'C', it's a 'C'!"
Yeah, we know, the lake.
Jules actor's performance was fantastic
These recordings were one of my favorite things about Control, especially because of Dr. Darling. Thanks for the upload.
The Marmonts were dark twisted and cruel.

i thought it was established in control that darling transcended reality in a way?
Just superb writing and acting to make me despise these characters so much, their deaths were too good for them.
Kinda sad looking back at this knowing the ending, but they deserved it, they shouldn't torture the artists

It's very funny in the first video, when Diana's voice is replaced with an artificial voice when she gets angry 😀
Right, the first one made me laugh.
Thanks for this!

to each their own :P
kinda the point no? Brutalist 60's architecture to make you feel like you're trapped in an endless haunted FBI building after hours.
