Quantum Break Review - Finnish IGN

Finnish IGN: Narrative groundbreaking, Quantum Break could easily be the Xbox One's best game. That is reason enough to buy the console and experience the carefully built-disciplinary experience, with television series like structure and a cinematic narrative that has a bigger presence than any game before. Remedy has once again outdone itself by creating an elaborate and gripping story, which can be experienced only through playing.

Man, a 9.5 ..just .5 away from perfect. Well done Remedy as the majority of big sites like IGN and little sites both agree, you are a great game. Xbox and Windows 10 gamers, get ready for tomorrow. It should be glorious.

kidwonder33573d ago

get ready for a disappointment then

starchild3573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

Assuming you've even played it, do you really think that because you were disappointed everyone is going to feel the same? Over two thirds of the reviewers on metacritic thought it was a great to outstanding game. Only 4.8% thought it was a poor game overall.

How in the world are you going sit there and tell a person you don't even know that he is going to be disappointed with the game?

Realityhittingyou3573d ago

Yep, disappointing for you because you will never be able to play it :D

daBUSHwhaka3573d ago

Playing it,loving it.Think you,boywonder are secretly disappointed.No need to cry, here are some pepa pig tissues.

nix3573d ago

i suggest everyone to reply to Rookie with complete breakdown of ratings when the next big one comes out.

he seems to love it.

also Rookie, you need to see a doctor, mate. you're obsessed with this thing.

MachuchalBrotha3163573d ago

Why should they be ready for disappointment? All things point to a great time. You guys read a few bad reviews and negate that the game has tons of positive reviews as well.

I'll find out later if I like the game, should be delivered by 8pm tonight.

Don't need anyone's approval to enjoy a game.
I don't care for the ratings.

I've said this before but man, after finishing the first act, QB must've cost a FORTUNE! The production value on the live action parts is superb. Even there they hit you with the Matrix style time distortion effects. This game is going to have to sell a TON to recoup the money poured into this title. All that, and I haven't even mentioned what it cost to hire all the well known actors. MS must have a lot of faith Remedy. Can't even imagine what the bottom line was for this.

Loving the game so far though. A breath of fresh air really.

ShadowKnight3573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

I hope they make their profit and it sells well or no Alan Wake 2

starchild3573d ago

Rookie_Monster, it's true that a lot of reviewers did think it's a great game, but at the end of the day it's still just an opinion. It won't appeal to everyone. It's ok to be excited for it personally, though. I'm looking forward to it myself, based on my tastes and Remedy's track record, as well as what I've seen and heard about the game.

xfiles20993573d ago

Im confused I thought IGN already reviewed it and gave it a 8 why have a 2nd review.

starchild3573d ago

There are branches of IGN in several different countries and each of them independently produce their own reviews. This is the way it has been for a long time. Eurogamer is somewhat similar in that regard.

Doopy3573d ago

Another great score for the best game this year so far imo.

jer11223573d ago (Edited 3573d ago )

It's been out for a day probably has. Why would you assume he hasn't?
I love when people ask if you played a game or not. Its a video game not interrogation. Who cares if he didn't. Is his comment going to change what you think anyway. You said you were excited for it and a previous comment. All you really wanted to do is bait him. He said in his opinion obviously he played it.Don't be Sarcastic douche.

starchild3573d ago

Well, I can definitely see where you're coming from. On the other hand, it's not exactly uncommon for people to make proclamations, either negative or positive, without even playing a game. I've seen countless examples of that these past few days.

Still, it came off as more confrontational than I actually meant it. If he had said he had played it I was going to ask him a few things about the game that I was curious about. If he had said he hadn't played it I probably would have simply suggested that he play it himself before proclaiming such a thing. I honestly did miss the "imo" at the end for some reason, which does seem to suggest that he is saying he played it himself.

Doopy, I apologize.

lastking953573d ago

Heading to bed, my copy should be at my door step when i wake. I have high expectations. gameplay looks great, story seems awesome, show looks decent and has an average story length. I'll give my review day after tomorrow.😉

FlexLuger3573d ago

This game is whoopin all kinds of review ass!

Out here in the U.S it's $47.88 at Frys today and tomorrow, with promo code.

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.

GamerRN671d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit671d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead671d 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

TheEroica671d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL671d ago

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

S2Killinit671d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash670d ago (Edited 670d ago )

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

StormSnooper670d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica669d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer671d 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

S2Killinit671d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer671d ago

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

S2Killinit671d ago

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

shinoff2183671d ago (Edited 671d 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.

Friendlygamer671d 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

shinoff2183670d 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)

StormSnooper670d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal671d 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.

TwoPicklesGood671d 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.

shinoff2183670d ago

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

DarXyde671d 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.

Petebloodyonion687d 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_Observer687d ago

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

Petebloodyonion687d ago

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

Lightning77687d 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_Observer687d ago (Edited 687d 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?

ZwVw687d ago (Edited 687d 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.

mastershredder687d ago (Edited 687d 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

Jingsing687d ago (Edited 687d ago )

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

isarai687d ago

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

15 games on FIFTEEN pages? That's a NO from me.

Superliminal
Antichamber
Manifold Garden
Portal & Portal 2
The Stanley Parable
Monument Valley
Gorogoa
Thumper
Inscryption
Q.U.B.E. 2
Darq
Quantum Break
Perspective
Inside
The Swapper

IamTylerDurden1984d ago (Edited 984d ago )

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.

I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.

SullysCigar983d ago (Edited 983d ago )

I'd add FEAR and RE7 (when Ethan starts getting visions, especially in the boat) to that list.

Edit: and Here They Lie

Petebloodyonion983d ago

What no Eternal Darkness on the list?

BrainSyphoned983d ago

Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
