Windows Central goes in depth with their preview of Quantum Break at Gamescom. They got an extended look at the stage demo complete with developer commentary from Remedy Games.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
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.
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.
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
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

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

Thumper
Inscryption

Darq
Quantum Break

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.
Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
"Remedy's tendency for meticulous detail remains present, only in Quantum Break it's accentuated as a gameplay necessity. Minor objects that could get away with low-polygon counts in other games take center stage in Quantum Break"
Nice.
saw the demo at gamescom, it is superb, there is also a TV show that runs in parallel, and intertwines with the game. Can't wait for this.
Can't wait! This game looks like a marriage of Max Payne Bullet time gameplay with the suspense and mystery of Alan Wake. Very interesting to see how the TV show intertwined with the game as this is completely never done before in a game.
Was impressed by this game. As for the TV show, don't care. As long as I can play the game without the need to watch the TV show, fine by me.
I am soo confused by all of this. I must be misunderstanding articles. Here is what I thought the game consisted of:
The game was setup in "chapters" and at the end of each chapter of play, there is a TV show to watch. The TV show will react (multiple versions have been recorded) to the what choices you are made in the game. Actually the "choice" is at the end of each chapter and you are making the choice based on the villian point of view.
Is this correct? I am trying to understand the hype surrounding this game. If it is, why are folks loving it? Seriously, you are stopped at the end of each "chapter" to watch a 20 minute TV Show before you can play the next area.
Personally, I have no issues with long cut-scenes if they are done well and really move the story along. However, so many games are bashed for long cut-scenes or is the bashing just fanboy nonsense again?
