Quantum Break Review: The Past Is Set, the Future Is Not | Geek Game Store

With a mixture of cut scenes and live action footage that blends so well that it is a true testament to how far graphics have come, story-driven cinematic gameplay, and a choice system that effects how the tale is told, Quantum Break seems like an innovative new chapter in gaming.

Except it isn't.

It is just Remedy Entertainment perfecting its formula.

After finishing the third act last night, I totally agreed with all the majority of high scores like this one here. A solid 9-9.5 from me as well.

Prubar2965d ago

That's funny because I've noticed we've bin neck in neck on progress (I'm trying to finish an act a day similar to a tv show). But unlike some reviewers who grew tiresome of the combat as time goes on I'm just really starting to get into it. We'll see how it all comes together in the end but so far it's meeting my expectations.

game4funz2965d ago

Completeley agree about the combat.
Still getting used to moving and using time powers shooting and taking cover all at the same time.

One of the best 3rd person shooters this gen.

I love how its not cover based like most 3rd person shooters last gen and this gen.

The AI actually forces you out of cover constantly which is awesome.

Im currently going to be starting Act 3, cant wait.

DonkeyWalrus2965d ago

I think this is the best game I've played this generation so far. Previously my #1 was Sunset Overdrive but I think Quantum Break has now taken that spot. The time powers are badass.

XanderZane2965d ago

Outstanding. Just finished installing the game. Will get started on the game later tonight. Glad the gameplay is fun and not repetitive. More eager to play it now.

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

S2Killinit66d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead65d 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

TheEroica65d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL65d ago

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

S2Killinit65d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

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

StormSnooper65d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica64d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

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

S2Killinit66d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer66d ago

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

S2Killinit65d ago

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

shinoff218365d ago (Edited 65d 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.

Friendlygamer65d 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

shinoff218365d 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)

StormSnooper65d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal66d 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.

TwoPicklesGood66d 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.

shinoff218365d ago

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

DarXyde66d 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.

Petebloodyonion82d 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_Observer82d ago

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

Petebloodyonion81d ago

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

Lightning7781d 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_Observer81d ago (Edited 81d 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?

ZwVw82d ago (Edited 82d 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.

mastershredder82d ago (Edited 82d 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

Jingsing81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

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

isarai81d 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.

isarai83d ago

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

-Foxtrot82d 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.

isarai82d 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

JL293082d ago

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

isarai82d ago

I'm on both, still want a remaster

GamerRN82d ago

I think Control was a great game that deserves a sequel

Machina82d ago

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