Thankfully.... QB was a half decent game, but those live action sections were complete snoozefests which tried extremely hard to be a compelling sci-fi....

QB was an okay game but now I am hearing how this could be a GaaS game.

You gotta admit that "Gaas Control" it's a great name for the game

-Foxtrot2555d ago

The reason why it seemed the gameplay and story were boring in QB was because it’s like they wasted time on the live action stuff

TheOptimist2555d ago

Yeah.... I agree. They pretty much half arsed time powers.... With the AAA budget they had, they should have innovated gameplay beyond contextual button prompts and time shield, time dodge etc.... The mechanics were pretty barebones

Gazondaily2556d ago

The live action bits could have been effective if they were good but they were poorly handled. That in itself was a risk but it could have paid off if they were risky with the narrative.

Also, the protagonist was so plain and boring.

The gameplay was also a big problem. So overly linear with some terrible 'puzzle sections. Gunplay could have been so much more.

Control's gameplay looks great; almost like a spiritual successor to Psi Ops which was a great title

FITgamer2556d ago

I don't care how good the acting is, live action sequences in video games ruins the immersion for me personally.

Gamist2dot02555d ago

It completely breaks the immersion for me and gives a cheap/lazy attempt in game design.

Command and Conquer, Wing Commander and Night Trap were awesome!

Games need more FMV, old school CD-ROM style!

TFJWM2555d ago

Phantasmagoria and Gabriel Knight were great as well

Smokehouse2556d ago

Psi ops was freaking great. The telekinesis in control looked awesome, smooth and it had power behind it.

Loved Quantum Break. I'm glad Remedy are dropping the TV show element of their games, It may had worked for Alan Wake, but cutscenes were hard to sit through in QB. Brilliant game though.

starchild2555d ago

I played the PC version of Quantum Break and had no issues. I really enjoyed the game. I thought the narrative was very cool and the time powers allowed for a lot of different strategies. The interspersed tv shows was an interesting experiment and I really didn't mind them. I guess Remedy's games just really suit my tastes. I also loved Alan Wake.

Cajun Chicken2554d ago

The cutscenes really worked for using the same actors as in the gameplay and made the game seem more 'real', but nothing that the game could had told in conventional cutscenes. I played it on Xbox One and during the cutscenes wondered how much space they were taking up on my HDD.

Smokehouse2556d ago

*applause* quantum break was actually pretty great minus the live action stuff. It was different and I give them credit for trying but it didn’t work.

True, they have pretty different audiences..and some People just have both at home or a PS and a PC that emulates more or less everything from Nintendo.

Xbox hasn't been a competitor since the XB360. Last generation and this generation Sony has been running circles around Xbox. As for Sony vs Nintendo Sony runs circles yes but I don't really see Nintendo as competition. Nintendo does their own thing and it works.

Details are important. Console sales yes. Overall games Xbox seems to be doing fairly well in that department.

Console wars are over.

Eventually, everyone else will catch up to this fact.

attilayavuzer3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

I think it's all PS fans have left at this point. Console wars were always a competition for fourth place behind Nintendo, PC and mobile. If Xbox evaporates into a hybrid virtual platform, then PS will be perennially left in last place.

Strange, I recall all those FCC documents and witness testimonies saying the exact opposite... Guess Microsoft doesn't know what it's talking about?

Destiny10804h ago

microsoft wanted to crush sony into dust and they had the money to do it, but with such weak leadership it was always going to fail

Reaper22_3h ago

Had the money? They still have the money but the industry has changed since xbox 360. Microsoft is the number one publisher in gaming. I'd hardly call that failing.

IRetrouk3h ago(Edited 2h ago)

The industry hasn't changed though, just ms, Microsoft was the no1 publisher for a month in december 2024, the actual no1 for fy2024 was tencent if game sales are all that's being counted.

Money doesn't mean you'll be successful large corporations have entered and failed before like Nec

The score for the first Plants Vs Zombies is such great, iconic music that it has a timeless quality. Not quite the level of Minecraft, but wonderful in its own right.
