"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.

wicked3197d ago

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.

Lamboomington3197d ago

I'm just concerned about that 'have to stop and watch the show for 20 minutes' in between ? Is that actually true btw ? Is it an essential part of the story ?
Can someone confirm if this is actually the case ?because if it is then it's risky...

Still, this is Remedy, and if it works out it could be mindblowing. Their story telling in Max Payne (aka Sam Lake) and Alan Wake was brilliant

wicked3195d ago

Not sure how it all fits together. Looking at the gameplay, I would think you could play trough the game and then when you watch the TV series you would go, I recognise this scene. The TV series is also interactive. You can have different outcomes depending on your choices.

Rookie_Monster3197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

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.

fermcr3197d ago

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.

poppinslops3197d ago

I like to alternate between whichever game I'm playing and the show I'm watching... in June it was 'Wild Hunt' and 'Code Geass' - which shared some themes and complimented each other - July was 'Sunset Overdrive' and 'Avatar: the Legend of Korra' (I now wish Insomniac would make an Avatar game).

If I can play an hour or two of Quantum Break before watching a show that reacts to the in-game choices I made, I'll be in hog heaven... Alan Wake was cinematic, well-written and immersive, but Quantum Break has the potential to be on a whole other level.

That said, I reckon the live-action component is optional... 22 minutes is a pretty long time for what is essentially a cutscene, and it's not a Metal Gear.

I think the show's focus on the villains is a good idea... I'm thinking it will give their in-game counterparts a depth rarely seen in videogame baddies - who are often illusive and kept at arms-length until the finale.

AnotherGamer1173197d ago (Edited 3197d ago )

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?

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.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit57d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead57d 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

TheEroica56d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL56d ago

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

S2Killinit56d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

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

StormSnooper56d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica55d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer57d 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

S2Killinit57d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer57d ago

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

S2Killinit56d ago

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

shinoff218356d ago (Edited 56d 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.

Friendlygamer56d 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

shinoff218356d 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)

StormSnooper56d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal57d 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.

TwoPicklesGood57d 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.

shinoff218356d ago

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

DarXyde57d 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.

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_Observer73d ago

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

Petebloodyonion73d ago

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

Lightning7773d 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_Observer72d ago (Edited 72d 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?

ZwVw73d ago (Edited 73d 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.

mastershredder73d ago (Edited 73d 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

Jingsing73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

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

isarai73d 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 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

IamTylerDurden1370d ago (Edited 370d 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.

SullysCigar369d ago (Edited 369d ago )

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

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion369d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned368d ago

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