This is like asking which is a better car a Ferrari or a Ford.

Both are cars yes but one costs $70,000 to make, and the other $20,000.

UC had a massive budget with a huge staff. QB didn't. That's not even taking into consideration what impact UC being on number 5 has to peoples enjoyment.

Lastly, I'm only on chapter 13, while I really am enjoying the game its not a 10. A 8.9-9 for sure but not a 10.

Like comparing Halo to Killzone, killzone just cant be a halo no matter how hard it tries.

Its obviously rhetorical....

@ fries

It appears Halo isn't even Halo anymore. Halo was once known for great single player and great MP, now its just MP that is relevant. Also, at least Sony understands the concept of letting an IP rest and trying something new, while Im sure Halo will get an announcement at E3 for a fall 2017 title.

On topic though, I have yet to play either game yet. I am actually heading to Best Buy tonight to pick both of them up. I will be playing Quantum Break first, and then Uncharted 4, at which point I'll be able to form my own opinion. But the general consensus is that Uncharted 4 is the better game in pretty much every aspect. Regardless of how good Uncharted 4 is, I am going to judge Quantum Break on its own merits.

Quantum Break was a mid-budget game made, the first with no prequels. Uncharted 4 is a series that is built on the improvements of the earlier games. QB noble try that it is cannot compete.

But Gears of War 4 is a massive budget game. Microsoft paid crazy mulah for it. They even renamed a studio in dedication to the Gears franchise. It has the very best people Microsoft can hire, the best developers, the best scriptwriters. It will be 1080p 60fps and it will have a story so good it will make people demand it be given an Oscar...

I think they're both good games. But UC4 is head and shoulders better than QB on so many levels it's hard to take the question posed seriously. I actually thought ROTTR was a better SP game than QB was, and ROTTR/UC are closer in comparison to each other. QB had it's interesting aspects, but it didn't really pull together well. ROTTR had a rather boring story and uninteresting characters, but it all worked together in the game play and presentation parts of the game. UC4 just kind of hit all the right notes, with the only major criticism I can think of being that it did lull in a couple places, but the platforming elements and getting around were good enough so it wasn't a boring lull, and in some of them they did manage to keep the story going, making it more interesting.

@ThePope

I'm pretty sure Remedy's contracts require analogous comparisons to use Nissan....not Ford.

But more in response, the budget itself, and how many people working on it does not mean that the games can be compared equitably. When I'm playing a game, and comparing it to another game, I'm not thinking, "Well, Game A had have the budget and 1/4 the staff". I'm thinking, "OK, Game A is sloppy in this area which is affecting my experience". Remedy and MS marketed it's game as a AAA game, and as such, the lack of staff/resources excuse doesn't really fly. QB is impressive in it's own right, and some of it is more impressive due to their resources and budget, but that doesn't make it a better game.

The real question here is why compare the two ?
One plays chess the other plays checkers
Tomb Raider would have been a better comparison than Quantum break would ever be.

Pope, halo 5 surely had a big budget and did that help that campaign ?

Both games fall into the Action/Adventure genres so it is possible to compare them (sort off).

Personally, when I play a game I want to play a game and not watch a live TV show or excessively long cut-scenes, so without even comparing other factors such as gameplay Quantum Break has just lost. Of course, there will be people who do like the so-called marriage of live action to game-play which is fine but I and many millions of other players have little if any interest in this type of style.

I am well aware that Fanboys will downvote me and some will say that how can I judge a game that I have never played. Well, I have never played Uncharted 4 either but I do know that having played Uncharted 1 and 2 that 4 which is on my to-do list is going to be a great game. As for Quantum Break, I don't have an XB1 and my PC does not run a Microsoft OS although if I really wanted (which I don't) I could run one in a virtual machine, so this begs the question how can I critique this game?

I am fully capable of looking at reviews and gameplay for Quantum Break and from what I have seen the gameplay looks interesting although I did see some annoying but minor bugs. What was a total turn off was the so-called marriage of live action and gameplay although as I have mentioned some people will like this.

No you made a fool of yourself in insulting Remedy by saying that. Quantum Break's up close facial animation outside of cinematics is judged by some as best of generation. Lighting and design too gives a modern scifi look. It all depends what you're after. Who definitively says that a photograph I take is worth more than a primitive Picasso style?

TangentialShark, who tries to downplay every PS4 game, the simple fact is U4 is on another level to QB, get over it.

@rookie the last of us was a new ip. It kinda done well for itself

@Rookie_Monster

Obviously you're entitled to your own opinion. But it seems you're in the minority of giving QB a 9, average score is a 77. You can try to use the defensive new IP take. But the original Uncharted sits at a 88.

More people can play both then what you think considering you can play Xbox games on PC now. And IMO Quantum break is a clear step below in every aspect compared to Uncharted. Saying Uncharted 4 and Quantum break are boths 9's. Is like Ray Charles saying green and blue are the same color.

Problem here is
1. no one can say they enjoyed QB over Uncharted.
2. no one can say they enjoyed both.
3. The only thing that is accepted in this comment section is if they say Uncharted is better or something along
those lines.

@Utalkin2me,
You again, the stealth Rookie hater, LOL.

You said "Obviously you're entitled to your own opinion. But it seems you're in the minority of giving QB a 9"

Really? How come on the cumulated review score section on N4G during the week of QB launch, 9s was the most #score given to QB? Were all those reviewers that played it don't know what they are talking about and all them 9s and up were wrong?

http://n4g.com/news/1888042...

Overall 81 out of 151 totaled scored reviews, and here is the breakdown:  

10s = 10  
9s = 50  
8s = 49  
7s = 20  
6s = 15  
5s = 2  
4s = 5  

Positive reviews (8s, 9s, 10s) = 72%  
Neutral/average (6s, 7s) = 24%  
Poor (4s, 5s) = 4%  

So yea, there you go.

Utalkin2me also said "And IMO Quantum break is a clear step below in every aspect compared to Uncharted. "

Yea, keep your opinion but don't go around and try to alter or change someone else's opinion as well, that is not ethical to do.

Are you dense? You followed up a post in which you trolled anyone who dared to like Quantum Break's visual or gameplay style the most , with examples of the kinds of one dimensional quotes that you must know very few Remedy fans have displayed in comparison to the Sony fanboy extremities with 'do you know what an attack is?'

When you can give a psn ID rookie we will all believe you've played the game. Until then you're just here full of shit as usual.

Then we have another alter ego of rookie in gamez4fun

He/she/it sends me a pm telling me to stop trolling he/she/it so I go back through my comments to see if I had indeed even responded to said person. Not once had I responded to one of gamez4fun comments. Which tells me this dumb arse logged into the wrong account of his multiple accounts to send me the pm. Funny shit when they mess up and can't even keep track of their multiple accounts

@rookie below. I can download an image from the Internet put it on my screen backdrop and pretend I'm playing too.

After I have finish with my third play thru of UC4 campaign, then I'll consider your generous offer and send you an invite via my PSN tag via PM. ;)

Playing it now at this very moment as we speak. http://i1376.photobucket.co...

Playing it streaming from start to finish and it runs decently at 720p on my 14 Inch laptop. Very nice. :D

Passive Aggressive comment is passive aggressive.

@ rookiemonster

It's fair to say you didn't see any TLoU comparisons because Microsoft did not have a game the could be compared to it when it released. Unless of course you want to compare it to Gears of War Judgement, which is an established IP; in which case TLoU, a new IP, destroys it.

You can't really blame people for comparing Uncharted 4 and Quantum Break, especially considering so many Xbox fans claim Remedy is Microsofts Naughty Dog. You want to put Remedy on the same caliber as Naughty Dog (not you particularly), expect comparisons between games.

By the way, the link you provide is for a review that gave Quantum Break a 6. Was that intentional?

@RookieMonster

Again when don't need the full breakdown of what each score is. The average score for the game is a 77. Who cares how it got a 77 or who gave what score, the average is 77. Which is only 2 points higher then the lowest score a ND game has ever scored.

Again, as i stated you're in the minority giving QB a 9. Hence the 77 average score. There is nothing you can do to change factual evidence of the game being a 77 average score.
