It they would simply patch the bug in the gog - version that would make me gladly buy the current version.
I don't think any amount of remastering could make it actually good.
I'd sooner ask someone to rip the engine out from Interstate 76 and put the rest of the game in something that works.
An unpdate and Mac version is coming in February, it's not a remaster, but will add some previously released content for everyone.
Damn that ChatGPT response is actually realistic (or argubaly too generous).

New powers and content? Unlikely because that is more work.
A poorly tacked on multiplayer? Very likely to prolong interest in the game
Better visuals which are arguably sidegrades? Most definately.

All to resell the game at a brand new $80 price point. Dont forget the special collectors edition with additional stuff for an extra $100.
I don't see the point in "remastering" a game that is still new compared to all the actually old games that could do with a fixup. The jump has to somehow be technically justifiable or you end up with a fiasco such as what happened with The Outer Worlds.

"Old" is not 5+ years ago.... "old" is 25+ years ago. You don't measure game age in terms of years, you measure it in terms of platform paradigms. Even WinXP games are not REALLY old yet since that still is the starting point of the modern platform paradigm.

There has been push to shift of sorts to a new paradigm with upscaling and ray tracing but so far its been a flop because its still too expensive for the majority of gamers to really do as it claims to intend. And given that Control so heavily leans on these technologies.... how can it be called old?

If you want something remastered rather aim for games that belong to the DOS-Win9x platform paradigm.... and given how long it takes for that to happen if at all.... you have several decades to wait for Control to be remastered.
