Quantum Break Demo Will Leave You “Speechless” at Gamescom, says Remedy

Hype for Gamescom is quickly building up and one of our most anticipated games is finally going to be revealed.Responding to a gamers question on twitter Remedy replied by saying “the demo at Gamescom will leave him “speechless”. Obviously,that’s PR talking but it’s great to see how much confidence Remedy has in its project.

nicksetzer13944d ago

Honestly, I know this is just a PR stunt statement, but coming from Remedy I 100% believe it. I cannot wait!!

Snookies123944d ago

I honestly wasn't too impressed with Alan Wake. Though, I'm hoping to be wowed by Quantum. As, it seems to be shaping up very nicely.

-Foxtrot3944d ago

Alan Wake was brilliant, shame we didn't get a sequel

4Sh0w3944d ago (Edited 3944d ago )

Well to each his own, but I think many gamers were impressed by Alan Wake. As I have said many times before AW was one of my favorite games from last gen. I owned all 3 platforms and AW was one of the best games from last gen. Remedy has a very unique flare with how they dev their games from a story and gameplay perspective, their characters always grab my attention too, plus they really look like they are pushing new tech in this game, this is why I'm so excited to see what's going on with Quantum Break.

700p3944d ago

Alan wake and Quantum break are two different types of games.

Snookies123944d ago

I just found Alan Wake a bit... I dunno, boring in terms of gameplay. The story was pretty neat though.

@700p - I never compared the two, I know they're very different.

I really excited to see if they can justify the name. I'm a real fan of the name sake's material matter and I am expecting big things.

ltachiUchiha3944d ago

Alan Wake was a really good game unfortunately there prolly wont be a part 2 do to poor sales. Just shows that FPS overruns xbox platforms. If it didn't then Alan Wake wouldve sold very well. Most of its sales came when the game was dead cheap.

QB looks to be another awesome game, lets just hope it sells better then Alan Wake did.

OhMyGandhi3944d ago (Edited 3944d ago )

in terms of actual gameplay, Alan Wake wasn't overly inventive. But what gameplay it did have, including buttery smooth combat and general movement, was damn well implemented.

Alan Wake is one of the best games I've played, simply because it had an incredible soundtrack, and one of the most well realized environments I've seen. The atmosphere was impeccable, remaining ominous and foreboding from from start to finish.

I feel that it's the closest I'll get to Twin Peaks without having to resort to Deadly Premonition. I give this game and Remedy HUGE props for making a game that feels so refreshing, and original, and placing it in a UNIQUE environment.

It's the same reason I can play 2008's Prince Of Persia and love the entire game design, even though so many seem turned off by it's (admittedly) shallow combat. I will always support games that try to do things differently.

Kingdomcome2473944d ago

Alan Wake is on of my personal favorites as well. "It's an ocean" I loved the ending.

ifistbrowni3944d ago

I can't wait to see Quantum Break, specifically because what Remedy did with Alan Wake. It's a shame Alan Wake was one and done.. I really enjoyed that game (and the two add-on DLC).

tuglu_pati3944d ago

Can't wait to be "speechless"

combatcash3944d ago

Alan was a fantastic game, extremely underrated. I was hoping for a sequel, this game may justify me purchasing an xbox one.

AngelicIceDiamond3944d ago

Its about time Remedy shows off the goods. This game has been in the dark for far to long.

Im stoked.

guitarded773944d ago

-Foxtrot... well, it did get American Nightmare. It wasn't a full blown AW game, but was kinda a sequel. I liked Alan Wakes gameplay and environments, but hated Alan Wake as a character. He was a pretentious douche.

Quantum Break is the one XBOX One game I'm really wanting to see more of. QB, a new Gears... and Forza Horizon 2 would make an X1 really compelling to me. I don't really care about Dead Rising or Crackdown... or Halo that much (but I'll still play Halo). MS needs to keep it up what they started this gen in terms of new games. I was QB to do very well, because it could reinforce investment into less traditional shooters MS is known for.

Bloodjunkie3944d ago

Alan Wake was the biggest disappointment in my long gamer life! Never saw a such boring linear horror survival game.

donthate3944d ago

Quantum Break is trying to break through a new genre in gaming, melding TV and games together, so I am ecstatic!

What is shown so far has been off the chart. One of my most anticipated games on Xbox One, but freaken ay, there are so many! :D

nix3944d ago

Alan Wake was good enough. i haven't played the game because it's 360 exclusive but i was interested about that game apart from Gears of War. the game's only fault (i think) is it came out on wrong platform. it sold more than 1 million but i think 360 is just for the trigger happy people. if you look at most of the new IPs exclusive to PS3, they get accepted well. TLOU is the latest example.

I am quite interested in Quantum Break but i wonder how many xbox fans are going to buy it. considering 50% of PS4 adopters are from 360 already, i'm worried about how well the game is going to sell.

as much as i am intrigued by Quantum Break, i'm also worried about how it might get repetitive. i so far know that the game features "pause" moment. it's an interesting concept but if throughout the game, all you do is pause and investigate/destroy, the game might become little boring.

here's hoping it's none of that.

abstractel3944d ago

I think Quantum Break will be one of the best reasons to buy an Xbox One. Remedy is a great developer. My only concern is the tie-in with the tv-series and how much that will interfere with gameplay for those of us who don't want to care about the show.

Volkama3944d ago

I'm with you, Alan Wake was one of those well-rated games that I just didn't get on with.

I have high hopes for Quantum Break, but I don't like over-exaggerated PR claims like this one.

starchild3943d ago (Edited 3943d ago )

Alan Wake is one of my favorite games. And the Max Payne games were great too. If Quantum Break turns out to be even close to as good as Alan Wake it might be the game that pushes me over the edge to buy an XB1.

Darkstares3943d ago

The premise of Alan Wake was awesome but I found the actual gameplay quite boring.

-Foxtrot3943d ago

@guitarded7

I didn't really enjoy American Nightmare, I never finished it.

It felt like Microsoft trying to make it appeal to the action crowd. The game just didn't feel Alan Wake like at times.

I hope you don't need to play it to understand AW2.

VealParmHero3943d ago (Edited 3943d ago )

Alan Wake is exactly the kind of game people get on xbox for NOT having. It takes things in a new direction and was sort of a "risky" game to make. Sometimes I feel like ya can't win...game did not get enough credit at all.

Yeah...speechless like wtf is this?? QTE all day I guess they have 1 QTE game per year.... RYSE now QB lOl... Remedy doesn't make great games... their games are par for the most part...they're max payne ports even blew.

stiggs3944d ago

Really?

You're not even trying...

whoyouwit043944d ago

Um Have you seen the order? besides, when have remedy games ever been full of QTE, and Remedy did no port for max payne you dumb ass, Remedy created max payne, but nice try.

Jonny5isalive3944d ago

You mean to one boring game with the kid and that other one that came out last year pn ps3?

HAHAH bet you played max payne on your precious ps2. That version sucked balls because the ps2 was weak. Playing on my PC that was from 99 max payne was Maxed out and was way better than the ps2 version and xbox version. I felt sorry for my friend that had it on ps2.

Golden_Mud3943d ago (Edited 3943d ago )

Max Paune 1 and 2 were created by Remedy , ported by Rockstargames ....

So looking forward to seeing what they show at GC.

it will....
.....got pushed back "AGAIN"

Bigpappy3944d ago

I hope it is impressive. But I wish they would just have said something like: "I think you will really like what you see from or Demo at Gamescom. Don't miss it". "Speechless" should come from someone independent of the game.

Magicite3944d ago (Edited 3944d ago )

Speechless = not a chance; intrigued = most likely.

I kinda liked Alan Wake and I really enjoyed Max Payne 3, so Im expecting another highly rated game from them, hopefully on a PC too.

IRetrouk3944d ago

Alan wake was very good, had me hooked the whole way through, even though it got a bit repetitive it was deff one of the best xbox 360 games, max payne 1 and 2 were also very good, they didnt make 3 though, that was rockstar.

ramiuk13944d ago

thisi s the only game i actually want thats coming to xbone,infact crackdown aswell.

bixxel3942d ago

This game has physics on it's side.Time dilation-special theory of relativity and reality bending mechanics.Speaking of physics,I've got to study physics harder...
Anyway,this game's going to be unique!

lelo3944d ago (Edited 3944d ago )

I'm hyped for this game. Remedy's Alan Wake and Max Payne's were great, so I expect great things for Quantum Break.

BillmadeAGate3944d ago

Excited about this game, the concept of merging TV with a video game just sounds soo next gen

-Foxtrot3944d ago

I like the look of the game and I'm excited by it but they did that already with Alan Wake....episode like format in the style of a tv series, each episode ending with a cliff hanger.

I dont see why their goals for this game are what they already achieved with Alan Wake.

BillmadeAGate3944d ago

Your right I completely forgot Alan wake had the TV show an radio an manuscript that basically give you the back story line lol..

masterfox3944d ago

if is not 1080p while looking like that, it will not leave me speechless, simple as that.

Look at this guy. He still thinks graphics are important to a game being fun to play.

Remedy Aspired to Be 'European Naughty Dog,' Says Alan Wake 2 Director

Remedy aimed to become the "European Naughty Dog" after drawing inspiration from Naughty Dog, says Alan Wake 2 director.

goken139d ago

It’s hard to deny ND’s excellence. Good to aspire to be the best, Remedy is doing a pretty good job. Just make a good game tell a good story, leave politics alone

GamerRN139d ago

Remedy is next to get bought

Killer2020UK137d ago

The problem is, politics leaves no area of life untouched anymore. So it's pretty damn hard to leave politics alone. Everything is a party political issue in the States where if one side takes a stance on anything, the other takes the polar opposite stance just for the sake of it.

Inverno139d ago

Why? Remedy were already making mature games while ND were still making platformers and they wouldn't get around making mature games til the end of the PS3 gen with TLoU. Remedy was already ahead, y'all just went a different direction during that gen.

Sonic1881139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

Not to mention Naughty Dog hasn't made a new IP in over a decade. I thought TLOU2 was good but not great like the first game. I actually think Insomniac games and Sony Santa Monica have passed them up as the best Sony first party developer. I even liked Ghost of Tuishima better than the last of us 2

babadivad139d ago

The first TLOU game was in my top 5 games of all time. Like "The Joker", it didn't need a sequel.

It was brilliant.

neomahi136d ago

Agreed. The first one didn't get anywhere near as political as the second one that dipped heavily into woke territory. Gamers don't want to be preached to, they want to live in an alternate reality where they don't have to live in life, they want to experience something else, have fun

neomahi136d ago

That used to be their thing, like their trademark. With Crash Bandicoot, Mark Cerny interestingly, then the head of Universal Interactive, advised them to sell the IP as they did Insomniac with Spyro so when Sony bought them, they didn't really own the IP and funny enough, Microsoft now owns the IP. Jal and Dexter was next but the technology has changed so much that with Uncharted, it didn't make sense to keep doing Jak and Daxter, Naughty Dog had already been built up and compromised of so much of the team of the original Crystal Dynamics, that's where a lot of them went was to Naughty Dog, which is part of why it bears so much a resemblance to Uncharted. Amy Hennig had just come off of Legacy of Kain.

So, yeah, The Last of Us, really, is about the only one they haven't moved on from. Druckmann's ego won't let it move on, and he'll milk the cow dry rather than leaving it a legacy. "Always leave them wanting more" is the key in entertainment, but yes, traditionally that's how they've done things. Fans beg for more Jak & Daxter and Evan Wells and Christoph Balestra knew to keep telling them NO

RaidenBlack139d ago

Can't wait for Remedy's Max Payne 1&2 Remake ... my most anticipated remake project
Dont know what's gonna happen with Max Payne 3 (hope R* atleast Remasters it) but I'd prefer if Remedy continues the Max Payne series. I'd even play a Mona Sax spin-off (MP2 fans will know) ....
Heck I'd even say, WB let Remedy make a gritty Batman game. They'll nail it, I am sure. But alas the idiotic WB management will not let it happen.

babadivad139d ago

They nailed the graphics at least. At this point, ND wants to be the ND Remedy was trying to emulate.

isarai139d ago

I mean, as far as talent, they're really close, but I think the thing that's working against them is the overconvoluted paranormal storytelling they've created. While it's super interesting, it's not the easiest thing to digest for your average normie. It's kind of that issue music has where you have to dumb down your stuff to appeal to more people.
