Why is Quantum Break Teased for Gamescom and Not E3 2014?

MediaStinger: "Considering that E3 is less than two weeks away, it’s very odd that one of Microsoft’s most promising exclusive Xbox One games would be focused on presenting at Gamescom, and not E3, which is still the biggest video game event of the year."

because its delayed till 2015 , and i think in E3 they will focus on 2014 games (but they will show halo 5 witch will be released in 2015)

MadSientist894371d ago

how can a game be delayed when it never had a public release date set in the first place?

FlameHawk4371d ago

Really? It say's it clear as day, 2014. Xbox fanboys say The Order was delayed but Quantum Break isn't? LOL...

True_Samurai4371d ago

A game can't be delayed when it never had a release date nor release window

Kayant4371d ago

Well it actually did - "Tonight at VGX 2013, the next generation of Spike TV’s annual Video Game Awards, Microsoft and Remedy Entertainment revealed a brand-new trailer for the Xbox One exclusive “Quantum Break,” giving fans a glimpse at all-new gameplay footage and the creative vision behind one of 2014’s most anticipated blockbusters.

While what you're saying is technically true, it does not apply to Quantum Break, since QB was scheduled as a 2014 title, and has therefore been delayed till 2015.

bababrooks4371d ago

Kuyant..that is Spike giving the date not MS!!!

theRell4371d ago

It's from the Xbox site.

jay24371d ago

You're both wrong, it's from the Lead writer, Sam Lakes mouth.

Copen4371d ago

It's delayed big surprise. Microsoft banked on Titanfall carrying them in 2014 which it hasn't and they don't have anything else meaningful coming out this year. Sony on the other hand has not only Driveclub & The Order coming out this year but they also have Destiny while it is multiplat the Co marketing deal Sony has means it will only be associated,shown or mentioned as a PS4 game so it mineswell be exclusive. Then there's the yet to be announced Rockstar game which very well could be Agent for PS4. You add all that up on top of whatever bombs they drop at E3 (Sony didn't rent out movie theaters to show games that won't be here until 2015) and Microsoft is in trouble more so than they've been so far. Sure they will be bringing games, games, games BUT what they do announce won't be out this year and whatever they do bring this year won't be enough to counter Sony. Just think about this the PS4 hasn't seen any big games except for Kill zone and Infamous S'S and it's still outselling the xbox one almost 2-1 world wide now just think how big the gap will grow once they bring the big guns out #xboxhasnohope.

USMC434371d ago

Um....the Order it's delayed...2015

Game just hit full production, perhaps not much to see yet?

Eonjay4371d ago

Agreed. But at least that gives us something to look forward to. We have to remember also that there is an entire live action production that is being developed along side it. This is a major undertaking. Such things are best unrushed.

F4sterTh4nFTL4371d ago

Maybe their target audience is Europeans especially Germany which is huge market. Since Remedy is a European developer and well recognized due to the Max Payne 1 & 2, they hope to attract European gamers just like they tried to with Alan Wake. Forza Motorsport & Quantum Break seem like the kind of games Europeans would be interested rather than Halo and Gears of War.

jeremyj29134371d ago

That actually makes a lot of sense. I never would have looked at it that way. Thank you.

aviator1894371d ago

This is probably the best explanation I've read so far regarding the gamescom showing.

iamnsuperman4371d ago

I have no idea. It was an odd move to show something but to tease gamescom and not E3. The way I would have done it was to tease releasing the footage at E3 for like a week or two later. Show this video which will then build the hype for gamescom.

Dannyh4371d ago

Microsoft only likes to show off a game no more than two e3, since they showed the game last year they are probably skipping this year so they can do a huge blow out for it next e3

Z5014371d ago (Edited 4371d ago )

You must've forgot. Alan Wake was shown at the same E3 as Killzone 2. Guess which game was released first.

Remember "Hobo" Sam. Splinter Cell Coviction?

Your statement is false.

j/s

Dannyh4371d ago

Alan wake was first shown at e3 in 2008, it came out in may of 2010 before e3. Splinter cell conviction was first shown in may of 2007 and came out in November of 2008. How is my statement false

Lawboy24371d ago

Because Phil said a lot of things didn't make the cut for e3

its_JEFF4371d ago

It's hard to believe that Quantim Break, the title that almost every X-1 owner seems to be anticipating, craving for... didn't make the cut! Any footage would have satisfied the fans, especially if t was on the E3 stage! Have you see how good it looks!!

Lawboy24371d ago

Yes it's my second most anticipated game for the xbox one right now...it looks amazing but it had information last e3 and there releasing information now....we don't know what is going to be shown at e3 so u can't say this would be the biggest announcement nor could u say that about halo 5...we will see at e3

azure19904371d ago

Well according to Phil, they went over their time slot by 90mins(I think). The game isn't released till 2015 and it just went into production. He also said that there were more unannounced exclusives coming this year. So my opinion, they are scooting the ones out that are already announced and are in production or not in production just yet. As much as a bummer they aren't going to be at e3, it obviously means they aren't ready yet.

You're still overlooking this Remedy sci-fi shooter, and its 89% cheaper on Steam Deck

Before Control Resonant launches, you need to play Remedy's mind-bending Quantum Break, one of the best third-person shooters around.

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.

GamerRN793d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit793d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead792d 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

TheEroica792d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL792d ago

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

S2Killinit792d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash792d ago (Edited 792d ago )

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

StormSnooper792d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica790d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer793d 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

S2Killinit793d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer792d ago

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

S2Killinit792d ago

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

shinoff2183792d ago (Edited 792d 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.

Friendlygamer792d 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

shinoff2183792d 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)

StormSnooper792d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal792d 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.

TwoPicklesGood792d 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.

shinoff2183792d ago

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

DarXyde792d 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.

Petebloodyonion808d 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_Observer808d ago

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

Petebloodyonion808d ago

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

Lightning77808d 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_Observer808d ago (Edited 808d 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?

ZwVw808d ago (Edited 808d 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.

mastershredder808d ago (Edited 808d 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

Jingsing808d ago (Edited 808d ago )

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

isarai808d ago

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