Game looks amazing. Cant wait to play. Wish remedy would make Alan Wake 2 though :(

kaiserfranz3677d ago

I think they said something like it could happen. But they are so slow that it won't be until the next Xbox, at the very least!

MachuchalBrotha3163677d ago

Oh nice, I didn't see that article. Hopefully it is...I hope we get Alan Wake and American Nightmare on BC. Come in MS, make it happen.

@codelyoko

I think they will once QB is done.It seems they are already getting ready to start work on a new project. They recently posted new job openings for a number of positions including the following a few days ago.

Technical artist
Senior Producer
Outsourcing Manager
Senior / Lead AI Programmer
Generalist Programmer
Senior Tools Programmer

@Alexious

Agreed. One of the major hurdles developers face at the beginning of their projects is getting the new engine to run perfectly on the new hardware. You are right. any other game from them should take less time.

Alexious3677d ago

Hopefully, with the Northlight engine all optimized now they could be quicker with the development.

Not that I particularly mind them taking some time with it as I still need to play the game, have it sitting there in my library.

BLow3677d ago

Yes it does. Dispite all the hate Xbox gets on this site, this is a game that I would buy one for. Next Black Friday may make me get one. Got my new TV last year so it might be on this year. How I will have time to play games on 2 systems? I have no clue as I barely have time with my PS4 with NO GAMES....hahaha /s /s joking for the sensitive types. I just want to play and have this game in my collection. Big Remedy fan...

Wallstreet373676d ago

"Despite all the hate Xbox gets on this site"

Yeah because it was all unwarranted and all the criticism is just relegated to this site and not almost 90% of the sites out there. Honestly a good majority of ppl criticizing xbone are xbox 360 owners.

This game looks promising and i have been following it closely, hopefully it turns out great so i can buy it later on down the line when i get an xbone.

@codelyoko Quantum Break is a day one buy for me can't wait. Hopefully alan wake will be the next game remedy makes.

interesting, let's hope they actually deliver and we dont get weird issues :)

ccgr3677d ago

Hope it's worth the wait!

Alexious3677d ago

It's been a very long wait, but Remedy Games has a reputation of eventually delivering, so fingers crossed.

Khaotic3677d ago

You dont need them crossed. I get people being gunshy these days but remedy does not ship broken games. They would just delay it again

MCTJim3677d ago (Edited 3677d ago )

"How various rendering performance and efficiency issues were solved with DirectX."

I wonder if they are referencing DX12?

aco3677d ago

They really shouldn't have announced this game when they did.. The hype for this game went downhill after so many years in development the same goes for No man's Sky...

I predict this game will have the same fate as Ryse it will be forgotten after 1-2 month...

Saijahn3677d ago

You think very few are excited for an xbox exclusive? This game looks fantastic. The delays have been worth it.

DLConspiracy3677d ago (Edited 3677d ago )

I Predict that your prediction is way off. Lots of people are excited for this game.

It usually takes a lot for me to buy a game like QB at launch full price but ever since E3 2013 I've been 100% down for this game. Already have it preordered.

There is literally no comparison to Ryse other than both having phenomenal graphics.

Imp0ssibl33676d ago

Rise has a mediocre story so yeah, it won't really be hard for Quantum Break to be a lot better.

spicelicka3677d ago (Edited 3677d ago )

Don't know if you're been following this game, it's been getting more and more hype on every article and I've seen nothing but praise.

All these predictions go down the drain closer to release. People will be just as happy when it comes out as they were when it was first announced. The plateau of hype is common with all games that are announced early, but doesn't have much impact upon release, unless the game went through a significant downgrade or in questionable direction.

KiwiViper853676d ago

uncharted 4 was announced before quantum break... What are your thoughts on uncharted?

jb2273676d ago

No it wasn't...QB was announced at the XBO reveal around April 2013, UC4 was announced at the PS4 launch in Nov.

I still own those systems, and many games that were built for them.
Thank you for an amazing part of my childhood.
Rest in Peace Legend.

Agent751d 21h ago

He joined SEGA in 1971, wow. The Mega Drive, Saturn and Dreamcast hold the best memories for me, more so the Mega Drive. Thanks for the memories, Hideki-sama.

gigoran81d 20h ago

Sega's swan song, their best and most memorable console, the dreamcast. it will last for generations

ZycoFox1d 19h ago

Dreamcast was a very good console, with some minor setbacks, no 2nd stick and could've used a bit more disc space. The main thing that let it down was support, the short time it was on the market it did still bring in a bunch of really good titles, if only it had another 2-3 years and more longer story based games as well as the arcade games.

I would say because of the above the Mega Drive / Genesis is probably their best, simply because of the wide range of support and amount of quality games.

Profchaos1d 11h ago

Yeah also massive mega drive fan it's my favourite to

Loktai1d 9h ago

there was a point in time where the DC was meant to have a MATROX gpu possibly, as well as other contenders and if it had along with a possible DVD drive and price hike it would be a totally different beast.

RaiderNation1d 8h ago (Edited 1d 8h ago )

Yeah, I loved the Dreamcast, but massive oversight not including a right analog stick. A very strange design decision considering that dual analog was already standardized by Sony during the PS1 generation. Virtual On was literally unplayable on the controller because of it.

1nsomniac1d 6h ago

^ I had Virtua On and loved it.. what made it unplayable?

shinXseijuro1d 1h ago

I was 8 years old when Dreamcast came out I don’t know for other people but it was the coolest thing to me when I could go play it at my older siblings . I finally bought my own Dreamcast around 2005 , when I was in high school and was old enough to save money . Had a blast with jet set radio , sonic adventures 1&2 , shuffle , code Veronica , Power stone 1&2 , crazy taxi . House of the dead Arcade style shooter. . I even had the reindeer bot CD for burnt games . Oh and I remember lending a friend a copy of SF alpha 3 Dreamcast with the box …. Dude never gave it back to me 🤣
