Quantum Break: Remedy presents Umbra

The exclusive Xbox One of Remedy therefore made ​​a small sound demonstration video support with "Umbra" graphics technology software and also a plug-in used especially on graphics engine Unreal Engine 3 and Unreal Engine 4.

The demonstration of the Finnish developer studio is obviously to make us understand what he heard is possible to do for sounds in the game. From near and far behind an obstacle etc.

In short, a technical element that is important not to underestimate both the sound is important in a game, just like in a movie.

the character model still look good as E3 trailer

can’t wait to see Gamescom 2015 Gameplay

christocolus3648d ago

Same here. Counting down the days to Gamescom. cant wait to see new footage of QB.

nicksetzer13648d ago

This and scalebound are two games that MS really need to showcase. I cannot wait to see more of scalebound (despite the lack of info and only having seen a cgi trailer) and quantum break is just amazing. Everything from sound, to physics (like destruction and time) to the astonishing visuals. Really looking forward to Gamescom, these are games that really have my interest. Probably more than anything MS showed at E3 and what they showed at E3 was great.

HammockGames3648d ago

Definitely looking forward to more on QB and SB.

Is Crackdown going to be there as well?

Kingdomcome2473648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

With Arkham Knight out of the way, this is now my most highly anticipated game. The wait is terribly harsh, and only slightly dulled by this year's stellar upcoming lineup. I pray that the game isn't pushed back once again. My heart won't be able to withstand another delay.

TheRedButterfly3648d ago

@1.1.2

Yes, Crackdown is going to be there as well. Spencer confirmed this during the conclusion of the E3 Media Briefing. :)

donthate3648d ago (Edited 3648d ago )

This looks (or should I say sounds) pretty cool!

MS is on a roll, and I love the second show after E3 with more news. I'm thinking they are revealing more exclusive first party ips?

It has been hinted by Phil Spencer.

Love the fact that MS is showing Europe some love and focusing on Gamescom as well.

I agree hope this game is as grand as Alan Wake.

Ghoul3648d ago

Alan Wake, WHAT A GAME !!!!

Takwin3648d ago

I got around to playing Alan Wake on a beefy PC and it had some cool vibes but the gameplay was super weak and very repetitive. I almost always finish games I start, but I just couldn't with that one. I really thought I would like it based on reviews and a video, but it was clunky and ultimately really not fun at all to me.

Paytaa3648d ago

I never played all the way through Alan Wake since it didn't really grab me but man Quantum Break is on another level in my opinion. Been excited for this since the announcement. I hope QB and it's certain success leads to a buyout from MS so they can become a proper top tier first party dev.

DevilOgreFish3648d ago

Sounds great, This game is going to be sick. I also hope they continue to improve AI.

Neonridr3648d ago

That's pretty cool stuff. Love to see developers pushing new things.

Bigpappy3648d ago

Yes. It is when developers show these little details, that I get hyped for their games. I shows a commitment to details. Bethesda is very, very good at this sort of thing. You can tell they spend a lot of time on stuff that is not even necessary to enjoy the game, but when you notice it, you are just caught of guard by the fact that they whet through the trouble of including it.

Outthink_The_Room3648d ago

I'm actually curious why this tech would be used in Quantum Break.

The only reason I see, is for when Zero State (time stopped) happens and the character is walking around and hearing conversations from all around him.

The way the game looks to be playing out, is that you're in a specific time loop for each section. So why would hearing characters all around you be necessary, if you're essentially in a one particular zone at a time.

Either way, it's definitely cool audio tech. I just don't see the reason for this game to utilize it. Hopefully the Gamescom demo sheds more light on this game so we can see how the entire story/gameplay are woven together.

donthate3648d ago

This is probably applied to much more than just voice. Imagine explosions or bullets or something falling to the ground.

Whatever, it is advanced shit and it is coming!

Glad they are trying out things even if it doesn't seem like it would work. :D

AngelicIceDiamond3648d ago

New footage and a release date at Gamescom.

FoxyGotGame3648d ago

Gamescom August 6th! Can't wait to see more Quantum Break! I watched the 10 min walkthrough last year, and I have to hand it to Remedy, it looks incredible. I know I'm going to love this game when it releases Spring 2016.

Not sure if I should get an X1 for Tomb Raider or wait for QB. I own other systems (PC/PS3/4/360) too, so I have to watch the pennies and finish my backlog of games. MS have worked hard to impressed me (as a consumer) this year, definitely picking up the One.

Nosred3648d ago

E3 second part is there, so great game, congratulations to Phil's team.

15 Xbox Games That Should Make the Multiplatform Jump

While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.

GamerRN468d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit468d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead468d ago

That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release

TheEroica468d ago

Sony gamers begging for Xbox games.... Who would've thunk it?

BISHOP-BRASIL468d ago

Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...

S2Killinit468d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash468d ago (Edited 468d ago )

We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5

StormSnooper467d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica466d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer468d ago

Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela

S2Killinit468d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer468d ago

Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass

S2Killinit468d ago

Quality and MS are not things you bring up in same sentence.

shinoff2183468d ago (Edited 468d ago )

Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.

Friendlygamer468d ago

Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.

  Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.

And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation

shinoff2183468d ago

Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.

One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.

Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.

Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.

Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)

StormSnooper467d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal468d ago

They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.

Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.

TwoPicklesGood468d ago

I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.

shinoff2183468d ago

While indont agree with the games. I agree with the point. Your not wrong.

DarXyde468d ago

Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.

Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.

Now that Remedy owns Control, it’s time to reclaim Quantum Break

Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.

Petebloodyonion484d ago

Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.

Obscure_Observer484d ago

They can't "reclaim" what was never theirs.

Petebloodyonion484d ago

I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP.

Lightning77484d ago

MS is not doin anything with it. Plus they're doing a multiverse of their own so Remedy needs the IP.

If MS wants to have exclusive let it be timed for 6 months then go to other platforms. MS seems to be, let's say, generous with some if their games as of late.

Or have QB2 be multiplat from the jump, put it on GP. Keeping QB2 as an exclusive is kinda weird these days.

Obscure_Observer484d ago (Edited 484d ago )

@Petebloodyonion

"I’m sure we can settle for purchase from MS the IP."

Good luck

@Lightning77

"MS is not doin anything with it."

Japan Studio is dead nd Sony isn´t doing anything with Bloodborne either! Yet I can 100% guarantee that there´s a far bigger demand for a sequel, remake or even a remaster for that game from both PS5 and PC gamers.

That been said, why don´t you ask Sony tol sell the IP to Fromsoftware now that according to rumors, they bought Elden Ring from Bandai?

ZwVw484d ago (Edited 484d ago )

Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.

About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.

mastershredder484d ago (Edited 484d ago )

Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop

Jingsing484d ago (Edited 484d ago )

Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.

isarai484d ago

I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

15 Games That Like to Play With Your Mind

banger88781d ago

15 games on FIFTEEN pages? That's a NO from me.

Superliminal
Antichamber
Manifold Garden
Portal & Portal 2
The Stanley Parable
Monument Valley
Gorogoa
Thumper
Inscryption
Q.U.B.E. 2
Darq
Quantum Break
Perspective
Inside
The Swapper

IamTylerDurden1781d ago (Edited 781d ago )

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.

I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.

SullysCigar780d ago (Edited 780d ago )

I'd add FEAR and RE7 (when Ethan starts getting visions, especially in the boat) to that list.

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion780d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned780d ago

Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
