"Remedy Entertainment are back with Quantum Break, quite simply a game like no other. It mixes third person shooting with, for the first time, live action video. The plot takes on a science fiction overtureabout a man’s survival after a failed experiment to bend and manipulate time causes a rift, or ‘Fracture’ in the timeline."

The 9s and 10s just keep respawning for this game. Amazing! It must be around 40 scores of 9s and above by now.

PistolsAtDawn2995d ago (Edited 2995d ago )

It's crazy how polarized the reviews are for this game. Most "legit" sites have 8's 9's or even 10's...but you can see all these no name sites giving it like 4's - 6's....it's obvious there are just some people that WANT the game to fail. Sad really. I'm leaning towards the majority of reviews 8-10's. Also reading the low reviews, never seem have any true merit....just "uhhhhh....too much story.....uhhh....not good". It's so transparent.

I mean look at metacritic. at this point 51 of 71 reviews are over 80, and 23 are over 90. Yet because of a few reviews by no name sites, the average has come down to 78.....so fake. Esp when you compare it to another Exclusive ranked 78 on Metacritic...SF5 has NO perfect scores, has like 15 scores in the 90's (6 from sites with PS in the name or something PS related), then no "bad reviews, yet still got a lower score because more people agree it's not as great of a game...where as QB has a higher rate of people saying the game is excellent, but is brought down by no-name reviews that just try to downplay a game that the vast majority says is great.

If 71% of the reviews say the game is EXCELLENT, it's easy to ignore the nay-sayers

Public opinion reviews for QB aren't out yet, but for SF5 58% say the game is negative...not ok or excellent, but negative. Admittedly, the public reviews can be much more "passionate" and unreliable

Rookie_Monster2995d ago (Edited 2995d ago )

Excellent analysis and detective work. Exactly, as I remember correctly, a site known as Quarter of Three gave Halo 4 a 1/5 and affected the scores on meta. I always go for the entire reviews and count how many 1Os, 9s, 8s, 7s, etc are given to the overall scores to give a better understanding of how the game really is instead of using the few low scores to judge it.

Gaming4Life19812995d ago

well said and great points but sadly nobody on this site will admit it. I agree with you!

Game On

You know whats even more funny, how the bad review scores are plastered on the front page but not one good review score is on the front page.

N4G is pro Sony and everyone knows that but atleast try to pretend to be neutral.

starchild2995d ago (Edited 2995d ago )

@Big-finger

No, they're legit sites. He simply showed that the majority of reviews are positive. Why latch onto the few ultra low reviews? Well...I think we know why.

As for my comment below, I was simply giving my opinion of gamespot. I don't like what they've become, because their opinions of games no longer tend to match mine. It's become so hit and miss that they no longer serve as any indication for me as to whether I'll like a game or not. I've been saying this for a while.

In any case, why should anybody just mindlessly accept another person's opinion as the gospel truth? Why do I have to believe the 5 guys or whatever who gave the game ultra low scores? Why do I have to accept some arbitrary average that was heavily influenced by those 5 low scores? What if I play the game and agree with those that gave it an 8 or a 10?

Yeah no name sites....like Gamespot and Giantbomb

starchild2995d ago

Well, those ones are well known, but for me GameSpot has had pretty crappy reviews for a while now. They seem like they want to be hipster contrarians lately. Not all of the editors necessarily, but that's the direction the site has generally been moving in.

Yetter2995d ago

In all fairness, Jeff Gerstman from Giantbomb pretty much hates everything

Gaming4Life19812995d ago

The great reviews prove the game is good. People just love negative things, they feed off of it like the news does. Im shocked that people even name gamespot or giantbomb because those sites always get the ign treatment when it comes to reviews but now are suddenly praised. Just like ign is hated until they give a certain consoles game praise, just like this site has the two worst reviews of the game on blast but not the any of the good ones.

I see thru the lies of the jedi!

magiciandude2995d ago

A groundbreaking game like Quantum Break will get all the top scores it deserves in the end. This game is going to be so awesome.

BattleAxe2995d ago

Just pre-ordered tonight, so I can get the PC version for free and Alan Wake: American Nightmare through backwards compatibility. It's going to be so much fun!

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.

GamerRN90d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit90d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead89d 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

TheEroica89d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL89d ago

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

S2Killinit89d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

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

StormSnooper89d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica87d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer90d 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

S2Killinit90d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer90d ago

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

S2Killinit89d ago

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

shinoff218389d ago (Edited 89d 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.

Friendlygamer89d 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

shinoff218389d 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)

StormSnooper89d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal90d 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.

TwoPicklesGood90d 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.

shinoff218389d ago

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

DarXyde90d 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.

Petebloodyonion105d 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_Observer105d ago

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

Petebloodyonion105d ago

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

Lightning77105d 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_Observer105d ago (Edited 105d 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?

ZwVw105d ago (Edited 105d 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.

mastershredder105d ago (Edited 105d 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

Jingsing105d ago (Edited 105d ago )

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

isarai105d ago

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

Remedy Takes Full Control of Control Franchise From 505 Games

Remedy Entertainment has announced that they've purchased the full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.

isarai106d ago

Oh nice, I wonder if they'll try to do the same with Max Payne 🤔

-Foxtrot106d ago

I hope so, Rockstar ain't doing shit with it sadly.

I loved the gameplay in Max Payne 3, it was fantastic but it just didn't feel like Max Payne at its core, it felt like they were doing a new IP or experimenting with one and reshaped it into Max Payne

The Noire, the atmosphere, the dark grittiness, the graphic novel cutscenes, Mona Saxx were all missing.

I'm hoping if they ever get the rights back they do their own version of Max Payne 3, off the secret ending from MP2 where Mona survives.

Max was finally starting to heal thanks to Mona in MP2 and in MP3 they just put his character back to square one, all that development gone.

isarai106d ago

Kinda what I'm thinking too, like as much as I'd love for R* to give it their unmatched magic touch, they're not doing anything with it.

I loved MP3, only gripe was that the story had very little to do with Max personally but it was still great. The Mona ending would be amazing and honestly not entirely out of the realm since MP is kinda considered part of the control universe, though I would like that to stay out of MP as much as possible and be it's own thing.

The fact that we haven't gotten a MP3 remaster is crazy imo

JL2930106d ago

Why would you need a Max Payne 3 remaster? You must be on console.

isarai106d ago

I'm on both, still want a remaster

GamerRN106d ago

I think Control was a great game that deserves a sequel

Machina106d ago

A sequel is in the works - they announced it a couple of years ago.
