Looks petty cool. If I had a gaming PC, or an Xbox One this would be top of my list.

DigitalRaptor3720d ago (Edited 3720d ago )

Even at 1080, the video looks heavily compressed. When viewing direct feed, the image quality looks very soft. After DigitalFoundry analysis, it seems like Remedy is prioritising effects rather than pushing a sharper look in the overall output.

Last_Boss3720d ago

I'm going to be honest. While this game looks a lot more interesting, than when first shown. The character is super stiff in movement, and I can not stand the over the shoulder shooting mechanics, that pull up to the character. I still want to play it and check out the character art. Still win for the X1.

Fin_The_Human3720d ago

If you compare it to games like Uncharted and Tomb Raider then yes I totally agree but to be fair the way the characters move have always been Remedy's style from Max Payne and Alan Wake.

In the end the movement does not take always from the game as gameplay is not impacted, just a visual gripe I guess.

Last_Boss3719d ago

The Max Payne bit I get, but with the tech the X1 has within it's architecture, it's time to evolve past those clunky days. It's the same reason some gamers can't go back to the old Resident Evil days. It's not that it doesn't work, it's the mindset of action they put themselves in during events. I Hope you get what I mean now?

Fin_The_Human3719d ago

You have a point...the clunky controls and stiff characters in RE 5 made me stop buying anything RE related.

Capcom even went to Epic to get some help on the movement but still couldn't improve or get it right.

Last_Boss3719d ago

I think it's cause when the PS3/360 came, it was how the shift in regions how games were created. The Asian market took a huge hit on how the world viewed their games, unless you were Square Enix, Capcom & Konami. Even the big three needed huge help in how to incorporate great cinematics, with fluid controlled animations. I think that's a huge reason FPS became such an admired category to everyone. Imagine if Lost Planet, had the the speed and accessible gameplay as StarHawk. I really want to play QB, regardless, but my eyes pick on this type of detail all the time.

jb2273719d ago

Glad to see I'm not the only one off put by the character animations. They are jerky in some instances & rudimentary across the board. I haven't played the game but watching other people play it it looks like the lack of focus on animation actively makes the game's controls less smooth.

Still looks like an amazing game, but character animation deserves as much focus as other effects & features, and I feel like it is an area that goes under developed in most games these days.

Last_Boss3719d ago

The Division could be cleaned up a bit too, other than that fun game.

Lamboomington3719d ago

What animations specifically ? I don't get it, because when I look at the movement animations they look very realistic and detailed.

jb2273719d ago

@Lamboom

Maybe my criticism came off a bit too harsh, QB's animations are better than some, but I don't see them on par w/ the rest of the systems & features of gameplay. You can see it a lot in the Kinda Funny half hour gameplay that the Remedy guys did a few weeks back, the animations still have that floaty feel and they are kinda rudimentary. There is obviously a narrow set of animations and nothing contextual or any of the more nuanced stuff that some devs have been capable of.

I will say that QB isn't poor in its animations, its just that they aren't on par w/ the rest of the presentation imo, but that is most likely a byproduct of gaming animation in general taking a back seat to things like particle tech and graphical fidelity these days. Love to see the medium focus in more on them.

Kyosuke_Sanada3720d ago

Looking great so far! Other than a few minor issues, the game is snazzy and will definitely pick up in the future.

christocolus3719d ago (Edited 3719d ago )

Nice.. Just waiting for April 5th now :)

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.

GamerRN801d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit801d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead800d 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

TheEroica800d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL800d ago

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

S2Killinit800d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash800d ago (Edited 800d ago )

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

StormSnooper800d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica798d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer801d 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

S2Killinit801d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer801d ago

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

S2Killinit800d ago

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

shinoff2183800d ago (Edited 800d 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.

Friendlygamer800d 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

shinoff2183800d 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)

StormSnooper800d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal801d 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.

TwoPicklesGood801d 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.

shinoff2183800d ago

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

DarXyde801d 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.

Petebloodyonion816d 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_Observer816d ago

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

Petebloodyonion816d ago

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

Lightning77816d 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_Observer816d ago (Edited 816d 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?

ZwVw816d ago (Edited 816d 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.

mastershredder816d ago (Edited 816d 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

Jingsing816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

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

isarai816d ago

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