Pirated Quantum Break? Play with a Pirate Patch

From GameWatcher: "Did you purchase a copy of Quantum Break from the Windows Store when it released yesterday at 2pm BST? Or did you download a pirated version? If you did download it illegally you might have noticed a new costume. Shame on you!"

TheGreatGamer3744d ago

Windows store is actually quite secure, if only they can fix the problems with it messing up certain games then it could actually be a decent store

FasterThanFTL13744d ago (Edited 3744d ago )

Great job Remedy at finding time to program in a pirate patch in an unpirateable game instead of optimizing the game to run on weaker hardware. What was the point of DX12 again?

Free_Fro3744d ago

I actually want to build a new PC, been thinking about it.

crap like this is what makes me reconsider. I should be able to pop my game in and play without issues on day one.

If the Xbox can run Quantum Break then why the heck are the PC requirements crazy?

nowitzki20043744d ago

The PC requirements are not crazy. Some ports are just bad because of lazy devs, hopefully its patched. I havent played it yet so cant comment on how it runs atm.

badz1493744d ago

"Some ports are just bad because of lazy devs"

Like Remedy?

nowitzki20043744d ago

@badz

Well in this case its a late rushed port. Remedy is one of the best out there so they get a pass if they can fix the problem.

lelo2play3744d ago

@FasterThanFTL1

LOL. Best response of the day.

Hoffmann3744d ago

Their priorities are a bit questionable.

MasterCornholio3744d ago

A pirate patch?

Over which eye though?

MasterCornholio3744d ago (Edited 3744d ago )

Wait seriously?

I completely understood the article wrong then.

LOL

I thought you had to use an illegal patch to play a pirated version of the game.

I didn't actually think the character model would change.

LOL

That's so funny.

TheCommentator3744d ago

No Master C, no illegal software downloads here, but there will be a Sea of Theives downloading onto their PC's a bit later in the year though. ;P

oIITSBIIo3744d ago

It looks cool, I think I'll try it.

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.

GamerRN843d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit843d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead843d 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

TheEroica843d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL843d ago

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

S2Killinit843d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash842d ago (Edited 842d ago )

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

StormSnooper842d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica841d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer843d 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

S2Killinit843d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer843d ago

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

S2Killinit843d ago

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

shinoff2183843d ago (Edited 843d 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.

Friendlygamer843d 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

shinoff2183843d 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)

StormSnooper842d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal843d 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.

TwoPicklesGood843d 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.

shinoff2183843d ago

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

DarXyde843d 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.

Petebloodyonion859d 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_Observer859d ago

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

Petebloodyonion859d ago

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

Lightning77859d 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_Observer859d ago (Edited 859d 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?

ZwVw859d ago (Edited 859d 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.

mastershredder859d ago (Edited 859d 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

Jingsing859d ago (Edited 859d ago )

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

isarai859d ago

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