Quantum Break Review (Xbox One) - Gamer Professionals

Ben Eberle, Associate News Editor of Gamer Professionals, writes:

"Remedy have certainly taken a lot of risks with the highly ambitious Quantum Break. Despite a number of shortcomings, it is an ultimately impressive game. Heavily marketed as a video game-television show hybrid, it seemed as if the game could do nothing but fall short of expectations. A lot of effort had gone into creating a fully realized story complete with many branching arcs and a cast of talented and reputable actors. Clearly, Quantum Break had a huge budget, so I can’t help but wonder why more effort wasn’t put into polishing gameplay."

I'm actually fairly surprised to hear that the game was that short! Was expecting a 40 hour adventure!

Pancit_Canton3317d ago

6hrs of gameplay and 34hrs of live action BS.

starchild3317d ago

Took me nearly 10 hours. Well worth it to me. The game was fantastic.

TFJWM3317d ago

I'll pick it up once the PC issues are resolved and its discounted

Petebloodyonion3317d ago

Took me 15 hours to complete. I would say that 11 hours should be the average time for 1 run at the game.

starchild3317d ago

I could see it taking some people that long for sure. It depends on how fast you tend to play through games, how long you spend exploring, looking for collectibles, looking at the lovely environments, etc.

Petebloodyonion3317d ago

15 cause I love the collectible.
That is why I'm saying 11 is probably the average time for someone who try to from A to B without rushing.

343_Guilty_Spark3317d ago

It's short if you rush through the game. There are quite a few collectibles that enhance the story and TV show tremendously. Wilders story is incredible.

Kurisu3317d ago (Edited 3317d ago )

I'm on Act 3 and I'm about 7 hours in. I've been reading the emails, listening to the radios etc. It definitely adds more depth to the story.

DragonbornZ3317d ago

Holy sh*t. According to the game tracking I'm a bit over 6 hours. I'm at the end of Act 2 at the junction.
You read the screenplay? Funny as hell haha.

Off topic: Just recently found out about tracking. Gonna check my other games.

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit421d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead421d 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

TheEroica421d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL421d ago

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

S2Killinit421d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash420d ago (Edited 420d ago )

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

StormSnooper420d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica419d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer421d 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

S2Killinit421d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer421d ago

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

S2Killinit421d ago

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

shinoff2183421d ago (Edited 421d 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.

Friendlygamer421d 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

shinoff2183421d 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)

StormSnooper420d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal421d 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.

TwoPicklesGood421d 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.

shinoff2183421d ago

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

DarXyde421d 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.

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_Observer437d ago

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

Petebloodyonion437d ago

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

Lightning77437d 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_Observer437d ago (Edited 437d 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?

ZwVw437d ago (Edited 437d 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.

mastershredder437d ago (Edited 437d 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

Jingsing437d ago (Edited 437d ago )

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

isarai437d 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 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

IamTylerDurden1734d ago (Edited 734d 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.

SullysCigar733d ago (Edited 733d ago )

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

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion733d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned733d ago

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