Quantum Break is the Best Xbox One Exclusive

Paul Writes: "Today marks the fifth anniversary of the Xbox One's official reveal. In honor of this, we decided to look back at the library of exclusives that the system had to offer. One game, in particular, stood out: Quantum Break."

Really? Quantum break had a lot of potential. I love remedy but this game was painfully average at best. The resources spent on the tv stuff should have been spent on making a better gaming experience.

bouzebbal2559d ago

i would say Sunset Overdrive is the best exclusive of the non racing genre, of course!

Skull5212559d ago

It’s not, but I enjoyed the game, and it really looks great. The TV cinematics or whatever you call them though were a wasted effort that killed pacing and could have been left out.

Tear1112559d ago

Agree, no one thought the game will be massive and great.

QB was a disaster , it had alot of potential but it was disappointing.

darthv722559d ago

Sunset is certainly good. Fun and fast paced. I really dig it.

On the flip side i also dig QB and it isnt perfect but it too has its moments of fun and fast paced action. The TV stuff.... god that is just a waste of resources but hey, you can't make an omelet without breaking eggs. They tried to make the best omelet they could but the flavor wasnt there despite having a nice presentation on the plate.

Youngindy212559d ago

Sunset Overdrive was a blast. One of the most original games in a long time.

Gazondaily2559d ago

QB was weak.

Forza Horizon 3 is the one.

I would say KI is one that's often forgotten.

Ori is decent . Sunset OD is fun.

Halo 5 for its mp

Not much else though other Forza Motorsport.

Pretty weak showing this gen.

Rhythmattic2559d ago (Edited 2559d ago )

FH3 is on PC.
Just a reminder its not a Xbox One Exclusive, like a few you mentioned.

Saijahn2559d ago

@Rhythmattic, you have to stop thinking of MS exclusives being console only. The play anywhere initiative shows the direction they’re going with Xbox - PC exclusives and crossplay.

Wouldn’t bother me if there was a carrot for Xbox users. PC can play online for free, console players lose exclusives and still pay for online which includes party chat now too.

morganfell2559d ago

@Rhythmattic,

So is QB. And Ori. And KI.

mcstorm2559d ago

Fh3 for me best game on the Xbox one then Forza 7 followed by Forza fh2 then ide say KI, QB and sea of theves. That's my choice though. Just like I thought the best games on the wiiu were pikmin 3 then mk8, dk, mario 3d world and wonderful 101

spicelicka2559d ago

@Rhythmattic

No because all MS published games will be on Windows from now, and Quantum Break is on windows too. Don't understand why people use semantics to downplay the entire purpose of discussion, it's a Microsoft exclusive happy?

2559d ago
JayRyu2559d ago

You left off Gears 4?

DJStotty2559d ago

@saijhn

You need Xbox live to play Microsoft exclusives online, even on PC

Christopher2559d ago

Ori is the best for me. But, I'm not a fan of Halo or Forza, so those automatically get thrown on for me.

SSO wasn't bad, but not good. Ryse was okay. QB was underwhelming, IMHO.

rainslacker2559d ago

Haven't played all of them on that list, but I would say that Ori and FH3 rank up there as the best.

QB is average at best, and really shouldn't be held up as a "as good as it gets" type title.

Rhythmattic2558d ago (Edited 2558d ago )

Talk about Triggerd!!!
Faarrrkkkk !
Exclusive ..... Look it up.
Adding a few words is all you've got.
Seriously, Damage control almost beyond borders...
I can play it WITHOUT an Xbox...
(Though Haven't... Still $40 OZ ..Will wait for the $5 version)

FinalFantasyFanatic2559d ago

It's alright but needs polish, it's pretty average everywhere but the graphics are nice, I've been playing on PC lately.

RandoCommenter2559d ago

I thought this game was underrated, but totally agree that the TV stuff could’ve been cut by 90% & time & money put towards an even better game. I just loved how the time power effects looked & the stylistic graphic design throughout the whole thing. I also thought the acting (in-game) was good. It was enough unique for me & fun to make it memorable & agree with the article.

jmetalhead778122559d ago

I totally agree. I really liked the game, but felt the experience coulda been a home run if they used the TV resources for a longer capaign. Another game that is way underrated IMO, is Super Lucky’s Tale. I know I’m in the minority, but I really enjoyed the game and both DLC’s so far. Recore once fixed was a pretty fun game too.

Aceman182559d ago

If anyone thinks QB is the best exclusive on X1 then that's not saying a lot about their exclusives. QB was a massive disappointment for me, and if I still had the system I would think that Cuphead was the best exclusive no?

starchild2559d ago

I played Quantum Break on PC and really enjoyed it.

It really stuck with me. The narrative was awesome and gameplay was pretty unique and fun.

ArchangelMike2559d ago (Edited 2559d ago )

I remember playing this game at EGX and really loving it, unfortunately I never got a chance to complete the game. But if I may say so, I wonder if Quantum Break would have done better on the Playstation, as I think Playstation gamers are more attuned to these sort of games; they've been raised on a more... balanced gaming diet than just shooters and racers. It might not have though, and might have been panned even harder by the critics. Shame really as it's the type of metric that MS uses to guage investment in the type of IP's to invest in, hence perpetuating the cycle of the shooter/racer diet.

emiyaxtousaka2559d ago

It’s interesting what you say. If those who love their games but really movies on the PS4, I think it would have been better and more appreciative on Sony’s system

Lilrizky2559d ago (Edited 2559d ago )

Not really. Im a big fan of story driven single player games that sony usually makes like uncharted or the tlou or horizon and while I was excited for it i thought Quantum break wasnt very memorable. Its just not at the same level. I also really didnt like the tv episodic stuff. Alan Wake on the other hand is much better in my opinion

Except for the Order 1886. I think at the very least, QB is a better overall package than The

ArchangelMike2559d ago

Dude you left us hanging with that last sentence :)

lociefer2559d ago

LOL they beat me at trolling

Oh wait... that's for realz ? I played this on PC and it's medicore at best. Even as a ps fanboy i can tell xbox has better exclusives than this

Xavi4K2559d ago

A fanboy admits being a troll 😂😂😂

lociefer2559d ago

na, troll admits to be a fanboy

doggo842559d ago

Sunset overdrive is much better in my opinion

Nyxus2559d ago

I also think Sunset is the best XB1 exclusive.

UltraNova2559d ago

Actually it is the best. Gears 4 comes second and Cuphead 3rd imho.

kevnb2559d ago

All 3 of those are on pc.

Nyxus2559d ago

@ kevnb: unless I'm mistaken, I believe Sunset Overdrive is actually still an XB1 exclusive. The only remaining one.

Razzer2559d ago

Believe these are the last remaining true X1 exclusives:

Forza Motorsport 5
Halo: The Master Chief Collection
Halo 5: Guardians
Powerstar Golf
Rare Replay
Sunset Overdrive

kevnb2559d ago

you guys are correct, sunset overdrive is stuck on the platform nobody likes.

morganfell2559d ago (Edited 2559d ago )

Actually its one of only 2 real exclusives. Sunset and HALO 5. If a game is on PC, it isn't an exclusive.

Nioh - Not exclusive.
Nier Automata - Not exclusive
Gears 4 - Not exclusive
Cuphead - Not exclusive
Quantum Break - Not exclusive

doggo842559d ago

I think gears 4 is the second best one. Never played forza because I hate racing games, but those games could be up there too for a lot of people

kevnb2559d ago

It wasn’t fun to play at all.

emiyaxtousaka2559d ago

Some say the same about the last of us or uncharted. Not saying that’s true, I love those games.

kevnb2559d ago

I've heard people say that on here, but those people are lunatics imo. If last of us and uncharted weren't fun to play they would not be selling in the millions.

FinalFantasyFanatic2559d ago

It's the powers that get me, Time Vision? Time Shield? They could have done some really cool stuff, but I feel like they just went with some generic abilities and added time to the front of the name. I dislike the streaming live action part more than anything.

FGHFGHFGH2559d ago

yeah how does time powers let you see through walls

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.

GamerRN434d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit434d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead434d 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

TheEroica434d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL434d ago

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

S2Killinit434d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash433d ago (Edited 433d ago )

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

StormSnooper433d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica432d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer434d 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

S2Killinit434d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer434d ago

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

S2Killinit434d ago

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

shinoff2183434d ago (Edited 434d 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.

Friendlygamer434d 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

shinoff2183434d 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)

StormSnooper433d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal434d 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.

TwoPicklesGood434d 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.

shinoff2183434d ago

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

DarXyde434d 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.

Petebloodyonion450d 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_Observer450d ago

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

Petebloodyonion450d ago

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

Lightning77450d 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_Observer450d ago (Edited 450d 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?

ZwVw450d ago (Edited 450d 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.

mastershredder450d ago (Edited 450d 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

Jingsing450d ago (Edited 450d ago )

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

isarai450d ago

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

banger88747d ago

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

IamTylerDurden1747d ago (Edited 747d 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.

SullysCigar746d ago (Edited 746d ago )

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

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion746d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned746d ago

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