Quantum Break PC performance: Running fine, Windows Store flaws aside

PC World

"Quantum Break's PC port isn't perfect thanks to the Windows Store's inherent issues, but it runs (mostly) fine."

Gazondaily3677d ago

Well this goes against the other article. I guess we should wait for Digital Foundry for their verdict?

Why o why3677d ago

I thought they'd already done their analysis. Guess I was wrong.

MachuchalBrotha3163677d ago

No you're not completely wrong there. They did do it for the Xbox One. Waiting for PC.

It's strange how an article that says it runs like crap everyone is all over it agreeing saying ms is crap, yet here's a guy who says it's fine & we have 5 comments (so far) typical.

Gazondaily3677d ago

Haha yeah it was so empty here for ages with no approvals at all. Agendas and all that...

Ashlen3677d ago (Edited 3677d ago )

Well, to be honest it took a lot longer for that other article to get approved. It was sitting waiting when I checked in the morning and it wasn't approved until the afternoon (over 3 hours). This article was approved shortly after it was submitted. (around 45 mins only)

Edited: I didn't approve either of them, and could care less about QB I just thought the truth should be stated.

For the people clicking disagree you can see when an roughly when an article was submitted and approved by clicking the gear > info > approved

rainslacker3677d ago

Funny you make that assumption just moments after the article is approved too.

There are going to be people with problems just because of the nature of PC. Unfortunately, when it comes to technical analysis reviews, we have to depend on the reviewers word that they understand how to make these things run on a PC.

I can't say for sure that the wcctech article's author knew this, but he at least seemed somewhat aware of what the possible problems could be, and apparently did try to remedy them.

Alexious3677d ago

Thing is, I'm afraid this author and me (the author of the other article) have very different definitions. He mentions that this is the prettiest game he has run on his machine, but the truth is very different. At 1080P the game has terrible aliasing and blurry textures, that's a fact.

The Division and Rise of the Tomb Raider are both looking and performing far better, and that's another fact.

rainslacker3677d ago

You mentioned in your article that your 4K monitor was off for repair(or something).

Do you think that at 4K the AA is going to be any better? If you're both running strong machines, which it appeared you were, wouldn't that denote that it's just going to be the same, but be less noticeable due to the nature of 4X the pixels on the screen making the jaggies less prevalent to begin with?

I can't see why textures would be any different in 4K or 1080 unless they used a different texture set. In theory, they'd actually be worse if they were made 4X larger to accommodate the pixel count due to interpolation not being 100% accurate.

As a side note, isn't 1080p still the predominate resolution for PC monitors in today's gamer's setups?

Alexious3677d ago

Well yes, of course with a higher resolution you get less jaggies. I've just tried bumping the resolution to 1440P via a workaround and the image gets sharper, but the frame rate tanks even further.

Probably lower than 30 on average, it's not really playable this way.

MachuchalBrotha3163677d ago

Is it possible things are running smooth for them? They could have a different setup than yours. The fact is alot of people are having problems, cant be denied. But there also those playing it with no issues.

ninsigma3677d ago

Well that's good to hear!

Now give me my pc code! Can't even play the xb version because it's been updating for the last 3 and a half hours!

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.

GamerRN775d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit775d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead775d 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

TheEroica775d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL775d ago

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

S2Killinit775d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash774d ago (Edited 774d ago )

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

StormSnooper774d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica773d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer775d 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

S2Killinit775d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer775d ago

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

S2Killinit775d ago

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

shinoff2183775d ago (Edited 775d 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.

Friendlygamer775d 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

shinoff2183775d 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)

StormSnooper774d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal775d 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.

TwoPicklesGood775d 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.

shinoff2183775d ago

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

DarXyde775d 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.

Petebloodyonion791d 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_Observer791d ago

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

Petebloodyonion791d ago

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

Lightning77791d 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_Observer791d ago (Edited 791d 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?

ZwVw791d ago (Edited 791d 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.

mastershredder791d ago (Edited 791d 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

Jingsing791d ago (Edited 791d ago )

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

isarai791d ago

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