"When the Xbox One was unveiled, Microsoft talked up the power of their cloud servers."
Before Control Resonant launches, you need to play Remedy's mind-bending Quantum Break, one of the best third-person shooters around.
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.
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
Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...
We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5
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
Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass
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.
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
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)
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.
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.
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.
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
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.
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.
@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?
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.
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
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
I actually prefer the Angry Joe review at least he shows some game-play that the developers probably would not like you to see.
As for the power of "The Cloud" well that really is "Remote IT Services" which I was familiar with in the mid 1980's and surprise, surprise not much as changed since you are fully dependent on the network infrastructure between the user's computer/console and the cloud servers. Great if you have a fast reliable connection, very problematic if you have a poor connection and useless if you don't have a connection at all.
What amazed me was why the developers tried to merge a live TV show with a game. I can understand cut scenes since they can add to the games story, but most cut scenes today can be done via computer generated graphics anyway (see The Witcher 3 for example). Having to download or steam a 20 to 25 minute TV show between levels is in my opinion not immersion since it completely disrupts game-play. Coupled with that if you wanted to watch the TV shows you would most likely have to download about 25GB to 35GB every time you replayed the game. Of course you can skip or fully install for about 75GB but that is not the point.
I know I am going to get allot of disagrees but when I play a game I want to play a game not watch a show. Likewise when I watch a show I don't want to play a game. Yes there are some who don't mind the integration of game and show but I do think most gamers prefer gaming.
I played this game it was alright but no were as good as Uncharted games
@nitus
Totally agree with you about the TV show bit, i usually game for a couple of hours at night between 10-12pm if i'am lucky, so my gaming time is precious to me, i ended up skipping all but the first one, all i want to do is play the goddamn game, i wouldn't have minded if they were 5-10 mins long but 25 mins is way to long and as you say could have been done in-game quite easily. I'll probably go back and watch the remaining shows in the Time Line menu when i have some spare time.
As for the game, i liked it and it looks great, but it has it's problems, clunky controls, fuzziness in the distance, characters move like robots, frame rate issues(i have a i7 and a 980ti).
QB is quite obviously a X1 game first with a lazy after thought PC port.
I think the 77 Metacritic average is correct, i give it a 7.5 out 10.
