Quantum Break Pre-Launch Reviews Will Be Based Exclusively on XB1 Version

Quantum Break pre-launch reviews are coming soon, but they will be solely based on the Xbox One version as no Windows 10 early access codes were provided.

That's not encouraging. If this turns even half as bad as GoW Ultimate, people will start questioning DX12

slate913701d ago

Meh, pretty much anything MS does is being interpreted as "not encouraging."

We'll see what this game is all about, review-wise, come tomorrow.

VJGenova3701d ago

As a current owner of 2 980tis, I am questioning DX12's validity already:

1. Ashes
2. ROTTR
3. Gears

All 3 run worse on Nvidia hardware than AMD. Also, no SLI support for Gears is just piss poor given that DX12 was being hailed as the unifier that could make a rig with both an AMD card, and an Nvidia card, work in harmony! What a joke!

Waiting for those 4k benchmarks.

ZeroX98763701d ago

@Genova84

Wow you're quite lucky to have 2 of these monster GPUs!

I saw lots of benchmarks test for DX12 and I have to agree that's it's not quite what MS was saying a few months ago. I know it'll be better over time, but I was hoping for a more drastic increase.

Sonital3701d ago

I thought it was a given that DX12 enabled games were better on AMD rather than Nvidia at this stage?

VJGenova3701d ago

The performance gain for Nvidia is basically non-existent, but is drastic for AMD. Hoping they figure out the drivers soon ... salty, as always :-).

esemce3701d ago

Google "nvidia lack of async compute" that's the problem seems the 970/980/ti are only really good for DX11 and cannot take advantage of the gains DX12 could offer.

I'll probably sell my GTX970 when AMD polaris releases I've lost faith in Nvidia after their 970 ram issue, gimping of older cards and their Sh1tworks.

Hopefully Digital Foundry does a performance analysis, before the game launches.

Aurenar3701d ago

I think it will be a beautiful game but few appreciate.

Black0ut3701d ago

IMO it will be similar to Alan Wake; brilliant game but not a very big target audience. Remedy seem to always deliver so I can't wait to see how it turns out.

DLB233701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

Let the hype begin! The reviews will defiantly be mainly 9's and 9.5's.

lets take a moment and think about this.....
If you compare meteoritic scores from last generation, you will notice that games were rated higher. This generation of games lack innovation. That's why most games have received lackluster review scores. Quantum Break is by far the most innovative game this generation according to my colleagues who have already beaten the game. I am glad to own both consoles. I'm proud to be a gamer!

Alexious3701d ago

Most innovative for the integration with the live action episodes, perhaps? Otherwise, it seems pretty straightforward in terms of actual gameplay.

DLB233701d ago

Well, according to my colleagues who've beaten the game ((Slight Spoiler Alert)):

The innovation regarding the amount of plot twists and special effects being accomplished with the game. There are also many gameplay mechanics they haven't shown in trailers mid-game that will blow you away.

2pacalypsenow3701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

Plot Twists and Special effects are innovating? Ill wait till I play the game before I judge this game or wait for actual reviews

3701d ago
MasterCornholio3701d ago

Well it does have a metacritic of 78 so its still a good game. Infamous Second Son has around the same metacritic and plenty of people will agree that it's a very good game just like Quantum Break is.

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.

GamerRN794d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit794d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead794d 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

TheEroica794d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL794d ago

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

S2Killinit794d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash794d ago (Edited 794d ago )

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

StormSnooper793d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica792d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer794d 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

S2Killinit794d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer794d ago

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

S2Killinit794d ago

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

shinoff2183794d ago (Edited 794d 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.

Friendlygamer794d 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

shinoff2183794d 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)

StormSnooper793d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal794d 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.

TwoPicklesGood794d 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.

shinoff2183794d ago

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

DarXyde794d 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.

Petebloodyonion810d 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_Observer810d ago

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

Petebloodyonion810d ago

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

Lightning77810d 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_Observer810d ago (Edited 810d 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?

ZwVw810d ago (Edited 810d 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.

mastershredder810d ago (Edited 810d 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

Jingsing810d ago (Edited 810d ago )

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

isarai810d ago

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