Quantum Break 2013-2016 Scenes Comparison

It is natural thing that during development process games are evolving. Since Quantum Break was finally released it became possible to review how this so called evolution went through in case of newest Remedy production thanks to effort of Youtuber Cycu1.

It was a HUGE Downgrade. Remedy and Microsoft deceiving their consumers again. Disgusting.

SpaceRanger3608d ago

Salty much? lol

The downgrade is ridiculous.
- Reduced textures
- Reduced resolution
- cinematic visual downgrades (he boat scene is a perfect example)
- poor lighting contrast compared to the original

This is the Xbox in its typical fashion. Sub-par textures, dynamic resolution or full on sub-HD resolution. I don't see why people defend this?

AngelicIceDiamond3608d ago

Offense force back at it again once again downplaying and attacking a game you know nothing about because you don't planning on playing it.

@Space your in love with this game so much why? You got nothing else better else to do but to attack Xbox games like a child would do. People like you need a new hobby. If you have to attack consoles and games.

Find a life bro nobody cares what you have to say also.

SpaceRanger3607d ago

@AngelIceDiamond
You come to an article comparing the graphical changes of the game, which are major changes, and you pull a Donald Trump trying to blame it on me. And so what if I don't have the game or don't plan on spending my money on it anytime soon? With that logic I expect to not see you on any game you don't have interest in.

At least stay on topic if you're going to try and make a point against the fact based observation I, and many others, have listed.

AngelicIceDiamond3607d ago

@Space You're not observing, pointing out facts or none of that. You're just concern trolling like usual. Nice try but you have a bad track record when it comes to commenting on Xbox articles anyway so I don't believe you one bit when it comes to your "observations".

The game to me just looks different not necessarily worse but there are a few downgrades in a few places but they're not too bad luckily.

I'm currently playing the game and the seeing it in person the game really does look as good as everyone says it does, if that makes sense.

It's not downgraded. It has different style.

2pacalypsenow3608d ago

Yeah just like Watchdogs, I dont know why people call it a downgrade smh..

sammarshall1023608d ago (Edited 3608d ago )

Every game changes things before release as Uncharted did below

Stop lying. It's serial at this point.

Your first example was a cutscene, which are all rendered as videos, so they have no reason to "downgrade" the visuals in those scenes. They produce those clips in rendering farms.

Your second example has been proven to be bogus, and was a time of day and change in lighting conditions that produces a different look.

It's weird how Xdudes continually hold on to flawed and disproven examples as their Sony Too™ arguments, and actually think they hold water.

sammarshall1023604d ago

@Digital A cutscene running in engine can be downgraded

And you don't honestly believe that the sun being out is the only difference in the image I posted

DigitalRaptor3598d ago (Edited 3598d ago )

Why would they DOWNGRADE a pre-rendered cutscene, when they are able to create the highest-quality assets for production? They had no need to, so it wasn't downgraded. You just stubbornly believe it was.

And yes.... I clearly know more about conditional lighting and the effect it has on in-engine game assets than you do. I know what was proven to be false. You are doing just like all the other cluelessly misguided Xbox fanboys are doing and using disproven and outdated information in a recent argument.

You continue to make me wonder Sam, you really do.

OoglyBoogly3608d ago

There's certainly some difference but it's not anything major. Some looks better in the demos, some looks better in the final. Certainly nothing Ubisoft worthy.

Sciurus_vulgaris3608d ago

It would of been hilarious had they kept the Phil Spencer look alike.

WilliamSheridan3608d ago

I'm a big Microsoft fan, but clearly there was a downgrade, or at least a change of art direction...

The E3 demo wss much better in my opinion. That being said, not many games this gen weren't downgraded, and I've learned to expect it.

The Division upset me the most for taking out actual technological features.

jb2273608d ago

UC4 hasn't seen any downgrades if recent footage is anything to go by...ND only put out targets they can actually hit & I respect that. I'd rather see a visually underwhelming game at reveal and a better product at launch than vice versa...as long as the rest of the game looks as good as the recent preview, ND will be one of the few to keep a consistent quality vision theoughout the entirety of its campaign

The Order & Ryse both hit their lofty targets as well

OoglyBoogly3608d ago

The Order, if anything, was actually UPGRADED over it's development.

WilliamSheridan3608d ago

The Order isn't much better than 900p, so I don't really consider that anything spectacular... Ryse, great for launch, but little else...UC4 you can see done downgrades during cut scenes.

It's not the wrist but it's there

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.

GamerRN708d ago

Single A games and live service games. Those make sense

S2Killinit708d ago

None of it makes sense. But its happening.

Ps5conehead708d 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

TheEroica708d ago

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

BISHOP-BRASIL708d ago

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

S2Killinit708d ago

Lol what a spin. You dizzy?

AsunaYuukiTheFlash708d ago (Edited 708d ago )

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

StormSnooper707d ago

More like MS begging to put their games on PlayStation.

TheEroica706d ago

Keep begging Sony gamers!

Friendlygamer708d 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

S2Killinit708d ago

Even more indies skip xbox. We know that right?

Friendlygamer708d ago

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

S2Killinit708d ago

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

shinoff2183708d ago (Edited 708d 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.

Friendlygamer708d 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

shinoff2183708d 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)

StormSnooper707d ago

You are same person as GamerRN, yes?

Abnor_Mal708d 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.

TwoPicklesGood708d 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.

shinoff2183708d ago

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

DarXyde708d 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.

Petebloodyonion724d 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_Observer724d ago

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

Petebloodyonion724d ago

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

Lightning77724d 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_Observer724d ago (Edited 724d 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?

ZwVw724d ago (Edited 724d 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.

mastershredder724d ago (Edited 724d 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

Jingsing724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

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

isarai724d ago

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