Quantum Break: An Xbox One Tech Showcase

Digital Foundry:

Remedy's Quantum Break possesses a level of rendering technology that is supremely impressive. This game is doing things we've not seen in a mainstream title before. John reveals all.

sammarshall1022974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

Jesus this game is on a whole another level visually

Looks like Remedy used magic to create this amazing showcase

starchild2974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

It does look incredible from a graphics perspective. I'm really impressed with how realistic the visuals turned out. And if it's that good on the Xbox One it makes me excited to think about how amazing the PC version will look. I'm not saying that to disparage the Xbox One because I honestly do think Remedy did an outstanding job on that version.

Letthewookiewin2974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

@Sam- "Looks good until you start movement, that's when the 720p resolution becomes evident, Image quality is not optimal. Add massive pop in, horrible shadows, tearing and frame rate issues and it's built ground up using DX12." - DF. Whole other level visually..... Doesn't sound like it, you should watch the video. But all that becomes overshadowed by the tech used for the lighting, time manipulation effects and excitement of battle, making the game a blast to play which is the most important part.

freshslicepizza2974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

i guess you didn't watch the video. listen to what they have to say at the 3 minute mark and the lighting for example.

"Remedy's Quantum Break possesses a level of rendering technology that is supremely impressive. This game is doing things we've not seen in a mainstream title before."

vegasgamerdawg2974d ago

He conveniently left out the part where they say they're nitpicking, and Remedy made some sacrifices for gameplay. Gameplay is king, that's why I trust Remedy.

sammarshall1022974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

No game is without flaws but the overall presentation in this game is amazing and looks like the closest to real life

It's the best looking game I've seen

Wallstreet372974d ago

@letthewookiewin

Your spot on but ppl wont want to hear that. Yes certain things look great and certain effects may be impressive but at too high a cost imo. Its not impressive to me when you had to downgrade resolution so much to add those effects. "A whole nother level" is something he would say if you look at his commeNt history lol this game due to its 720p reprojection resolution bs is far from beig on another level.

@moldy they are specifically talking about some of rendering techniques used. They are not saying the game looks better than anything theyve seen before just that they are impressed by the tech and rendering techniques they hadn't seen before. This game sets no graphics benchmarks due to the huge sacrifice it had to make in making much of the game 720p. People like to take certain parts abd run with it. This game isnt on a whole another level than anything, except maybe certain effects but quite a few games have used different techniques for rendering or resolution or effects in the past hadnt sen before. As a matter of fact this game is using a similar technique as Killzone SF in reprojection but a bit different on the resolution. The graphics kings still remain "The Order", Drive Club, Killzone SF and Infamous. Some of which also used techniques not used before :) however Uncharted will be here soon to slay them all.

itsmebryan2974d ago

Did you complain the same about the graphics of the order? It was not 1080p or 60fps but, was a beautiful looking game.

I'm just glad you nitpickers won't have to suffer through QB. Cheers

@Letthewookiewin and @Wallstreet37 I'll just leave this here for you guys

Damn. Some mighty praise there. Hopefully Remedy learn the lessons from QB and apply their technical knowhow to their next title.

Free_Fro2974d ago (Edited 2974d ago )

It just shows.. Dev talent/skill comes into play, tools etc.

It's what you do with hardware that counts.

They're doing things we haven't seen before ever, and they're doing it on XO.

Beautiful Game.

Gazondaily2974d ago

Well said. It definitely is all down to the devs really. Obviously hardware helps a lot too ofc.

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.

GamerRN68d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit68d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead67d 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

TheEroica67d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL67d ago

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

S2Killinit67d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash67d ago (Edited 67d ago )

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

StormSnooper67d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica65d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer68d 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

S2Killinit68d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer68d ago

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

S2Killinit67d ago

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

shinoff218367d ago (Edited 67d 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.

Friendlygamer67d 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

shinoff218367d 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)

StormSnooper67d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal68d 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.

TwoPicklesGood67d 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.

shinoff218367d ago

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

DarXyde67d 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.

Petebloodyonion83d 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_Observer83d ago

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

Petebloodyonion83d ago

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

Lightning7783d 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_Observer83d ago (Edited 83d 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?

ZwVw83d ago (Edited 83d 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.

mastershredder83d ago (Edited 83d 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

Jingsing83d ago (Edited 83d ago )

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

isarai83d 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

GB: "Some games reduce stress while others like to play with your mind."

banger88381d 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

IamTylerDurden1380d ago (Edited 380d 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.

SullysCigar380d ago (Edited 380d ago )

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

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion380d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned379d ago

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