Remedy explain why Quantum Break is Taking so Long

Gamesradar

“Lake explains the project needs every second of that extra time to perfect its potential unique experience.It’s many things,” he says. “Just thinking about Quantum Break, as an example, there’s a lot of new technology, [Xbox One is] a new platform, it’s a new universe, new story, there’s new core gameplay. [That means] a lot of prototyping, and a lot of discovery. On the whole show side, there are a lot of challenges to figure out. It does end up taking time and, yes, we want to keep the quality high, so we don’t want to make certain kinds of compromises,”

Nice Nice thanks for the link. Bubs up.

Bnet3433125d ago

Yeah for real. Take your time, I still need to catch up on a bunch of other games XD

badz1493125d ago

Tbh, Remedy should even have to explain anything. It's because they are Remedy, of course they will take their time making their games like nothing else matters! It should have been known by now.

christian hour3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Remedy always take their time, good to see nothing has changed! And they're always worth the wait. Plus it gives me more time to save those pennys for an XB1 :3

It's sad that in todays climate devs have to come out and explain to rabid internet people why their games are taking so long (the big 3 are part responsible for this for releasing annual clones and rushing games out the door I suppose...)

Sound one Christocolus for the reddit link!

medman3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Quantum Break is taking so long because they've changed so much of the cast and I'm sure are polishing like mad trying to make the game as good as it can be. I don't own an xbox one yet, but this is perhaps the one game I see on the horizon for early 2016 that would make me break down and buy one....I just wish Microsoft would hurry up and offer the slim xbox one already....

AizenSosuke3124d ago

Pretty Uncharted 4 syndrome right here which is not a bad thing.

Didn't Alan Wake also take a fairly long time to come out? I'd rather these developers not be rushed and take their time to cook up something truly special.

Skate-AK3125d ago (Edited 3125d ago )

Announced in 2005 and released in 2010. So yeah, it was a while, 5 years.

Lamboomington3124d ago

It explains why their games are that good.

Picnic3124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Alan Wake was still a compromise of what the original more open world plan was though, so that it didn't break the story. It's a lovely looking game but only got about 80% averages because of repetitive combat and not enough to do during the day. Still, for atmosphere, meta fiction and a commencement of the kinds of set pieces that will be seen in QB, a highly worthwhile game.

Lamboomington3124d ago

@Picnic

Was a little repetitive, but it was still an amazing game for me. The quality of the storytelling and the gameworld, the visuals, the gameplay ideas.

christian hour3124d ago

Yup, started out as an open world game too when first revealed, but they couldnt tell the story the way they wanted to with the pacing that was required in an open world setting, so they went back to the drawing board and we got an incredible game for it :D

A lot of other devs would not have such luxuries but Remedy fought tooth and nail to get all the time they needed to deliver the experience they envisioned.

slasaru013124d ago (Edited 3124d ago )

Alan Wake suffered several engine changes. And the last revision was still unoptimized for xbox 360.

Take your time and create the best game you possibly can. I appreciate it.

alti3125d ago

"we had no idea how long it would take to make a quality game. MS said it would only be like 7 months on average, but, here we are.."

christian hour3124d ago

7 months on average?! Where the hell did MS get that number from!? XD

Kingdomcome2473124d ago

They didn't say that. He's just trolling. OT: I'm beyond pumped for this game. It's been my most eagerly awaited game for over two years now. I can't wait for this, Deus Ex, UC 4, and Mirrors Edge all to come out around the same time. I'm just praying that we don't get another delay. Please let April 5'th be final.

ThePresentIsAgift3125d ago

Alan Wake was absolutely worth the wait in my eyes. In a few weeks I'll be building a half decent pc for my steam collection and look forward to thrashing through it again with the visuals jacked up. Really stoked for Quantum Break.

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.

GamerRN39d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit39d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead39d 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

TheEroica39d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL39d ago

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

S2Killinit39d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

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

StormSnooper38d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica37d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer39d 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

S2Killinit39d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer39d ago

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

S2Killinit39d ago

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

shinoff218339d ago (Edited 39d 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.

Friendlygamer39d 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

shinoff218339d 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)

StormSnooper38d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal39d 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.

TwoPicklesGood39d 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.

shinoff218339d ago

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

DarXyde39d 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.

Petebloodyonion55d 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_Observer55d ago

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

Petebloodyonion55d ago

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

Lightning7755d 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_Observer55d ago (Edited 55d 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?

ZwVw55d ago (Edited 55d 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.

mastershredder55d ago (Edited 55d 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

Jingsing55d ago (Edited 55d ago )

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

isarai55d ago

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