Quantum Break: Why It's Even Better Than Expected

Alex Nelson: "Initial reviews have ranged from extremely positive to lukewarm.

"But after sinking a load of – non-reversible – time into it on release day, I’d have to side with the former of those two camps."

I've seen so much praise for Quantum Break people saying it's amazing in both graphics and gameplay

shodan743701d ago

Not had the pleasure yet - but really interested to try it. Love time-warping mechanics in games when they're utilized well, and Remedy do sheer style like few others.

StifflerK3701d ago

I just finished Act 2 last night, I think it's a great game, at times amazing. Looking forward to playing more tonight!

Automatic793701d ago

Same here just finished Act two last night can't wait to go home and play. A lot of Max Payne and Alan Wake influence love it.

Rookie_Monster3701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

Managed to play the first act last night. It is an amazing experience so far. Will play the second act tonight and will give my full assessment when done. So far, so good.

blakstarz3701d ago

Is it pretty challenging? Are there a good variety of characters in it?

rlow13701d ago

I'm just in the second act, but in the sub menu their showing story unlocks of at least 4 other main characters. I'm playing it on normal and it's just a little challenging, but nothing to hard. Of course their is a hard mode as well.
I imagine if you just run and gun through the game it will be a quick experience, but if you take your time to explore theirs a lot more to the game and you can unlock these time ripples that will affect the outcome. The cool thing about those is you can also pass them by, so I would imagine it changes the outcome some how.
Hopefully this helps a little.

Damaged control news check.

Wallstreet373701d ago

lol word...

With the same posters doing the damage control comments they always do. So far up their company of choices %ss they have to say everything they do is perfect and have to go out of their way to insinuate others are wrong in their opinions lol

maniacmayhem3701d ago

Lord forbid people actually like the game. No, that's impossible, let's just take the word of the bad reviews only as the gospel and truth.

I wonder who are the ones that go out of their way to kill the enjoyment of others by posting nonsense.

Wallstreet373701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

maniac...

God forbid people actually read other ppls comments and draw a logical conclusion lol

Wtf said others cant enjoy a game others dont like? I didnt say that. My comment was in reference to the same ppl in every single QB post mad at the world some ppl dont like it, looking for excuses and formulating conspiracy theories and commenting that the game is so perfect that its impossible ppl cant like it. You see that goes both ways. It equally applies to the ones bashing it every article as well.

My comment wasnt formulated from posters saying the game is good, rather the same posters that were already hailing it a goty contender lol without playing it and in every QB article defend it to its core.

Im actually in the camp that will be buying this game because overall it looks enjoyable.

christocolus3701d ago

@maniac

It's so weird seeing these guys who have no interest in the console or QB constantly downplaying the game or jumping into QB related articles to troll. I'm glad Remedy made this game and hopefully xbox and PC fans enjoy it Hopefully it sells well enough and we get a sequel to Alan Wake.

Wallstreet373701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

Chris...

I see this is universal feeling from many. Person walks in criticizes a Nintendo game or product, gets labeled a troll. Same person walks in criticizes the defense force behind QB (even though i actually have comments backing up QB in some articles) gets called a troll. Same person walks in and criticized SFV and gets called a troll lol

So let me get this straight, i criticized all the top three companies on something so what system am i a fanboy of and fuels my trolling agenda. Ohhhhhh wait i know the Atari Jaguar lol

Smh the sheep and ppl with this loyalty to inanimate objects is really disturbing lol

gangsta_red3701d ago

@Wallstreet

Exactly who are these people and what comments have they left to even insinuate that others are wrong and that their company is perfect and everything else you left that has no meaning and nothing to do with the topic.

So far the comments above have only stated how much they have enjoyed the game so I would like to know exactly where are you see this ridiculous claim?

Please point them out.

I love this line too..

"Im actually in the camp that will be buying this game because overall it looks enjoyable."

Lmao! Oh, in that case that just excuses you from your previous comment of bullsh!t.

Wallstreet373701d ago (Edited 3701d ago )

The Gangsta....

Has walked in so ill remove myself lol
Smfh i dont need to explain every lil bs if it didnt apply to you why you asking? Did my comment apply to you? Was it in response to something you said? If i wrote it it was in context to who i responded too and also from same posters ive seen in the past all up the %ss of QB regardless of what they posted in this article.

But you know what G it isnt that serious lol and yeah im getting the game which was to point out (because some of you just kinda slow) that my post wasn't criticizing or downplaying the game. It was in relation to the same posters every single thread praising the game to high heavens lol hahahahaha who have also criticized other ppl before for saying it wasnt for them. Its not that serious to have to go into every QB post and say "omg this game is awesome" lol hahahahah :)

God forbid people enjoy games some critics didn't.

I've been a fan of Remedy since the first Max Payne and this game checks all the right boxes when it comes to pleasing people like me.

christocolus3701d ago

Good scores like these somehow gets certain gamers riled up. Its amazing. Lmao. The game isn't perfect but its definitely great and above average. Remedy did good.

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.

GamerRN800d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit800d 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-BRASIL799d ago

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

S2Killinit799d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash799d ago (Edited 799d ago )

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

StormSnooper799d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica798d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer800d 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

S2Killinit800d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer800d ago

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

S2Killinit799d 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

shinoff2183799d 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)

StormSnooper799d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal800d 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.

TwoPicklesGood800d 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.

shinoff2183799d ago

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

DarXyde800d 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
