1UP: Quantum Theory Preview

1UP writes: "Tecmo is daring to enter a realm that Japanese developers typically shy away from (the world of third-person shooters) with its newly announced PS3 exclusive, Quantum Theory. In one of those "a world rocked by cataclysmic destruction" situations, the "dark destroyer Syd endeavors to scale and raze the Living Tower" (an art nouveau-style spire that's alive with mystical energy), but along the way he "encounters the mysterious female warrior Fillena, who's also scaling the tower with an unknown agenda." Yeah, that's the kind of language the developers use when describing this game.

Quantum Theory is reputedly only about 20 percent to 30 percent finished, and it was only shown in trailer form at TGS. From our brief chat with members of Tecmo's recently formed development team, Team Tachyon, we learned that the shooting gameplay in this title has a major twist: The landscape changes in real time to provide -- and rob you of -- cover and to present new obstacles to overcome. While some of the landscape deformations in the Living Tower will be scripted, the environment will change randomly, leading us to believe that not all of the game's environmental encounters will have fixed difficulty."

That right there sparked an otherwise dorment interest in this title. 20-30% done means they've still got some time to implement a few more graphical pushes and more information before release. Keep it up

Ah, so that's where the "Quantum Theory" comes in to it.

Edit: Disagreeing doesn't make what I said wrong.

I am interested to see what they come up with. I just hope this new Tecmo studio isn't like the Ninja Gadien team making games way to difficult.

want easy games? go buy a Wii with Mario galaxy...

Gears meets Castlevania. With the whole living tower and changing landscape.

Like in Castlevania there was always a haunted castle or something.

Sounds interesting

DarkBlade6418d ago

seem like an awesome game. I wanna see gameplay

Raoh6418d ago

interesting

i'd say its more of a cross between gears of war and fracture. if it in fact it plays like gears of war, which is not a bad thing for ps3 owners that never got a chance. for me the key would be the selling point would co-op/coopetition and strong story. if there is one thing i hate is a weak story.. bland like dark sector is ok but not weak.

Every battle royale and soulslike. Every cartoony live service game with dancing

Nah most of the Soulslike games turned out pretty good. Probably the only one I didn't much like was Immortal Unchained.

I don't care what this guy think after he called Way of The Samurai 3 an awful game.

Bigpappy4572d ago

with Quantum Theory, I played the demo and was not impressed. I felt like they were trying to mix Gear of War with Lost Planet, and didn't do either very well. May be someone who never played either would have a blast with it though.

fOrlOnhOpe574572d ago

Yeah, I played the demo too but couldn't finish it....the thought of therapy was too much lol

SyphonELITE4572d ago

damn, i never even heard of this game til now

Yui_Suzumiya4572d ago

I followed this game forever until I finally came out. I got it and loved every bit of it. Originally supposed to be a PS3 exclusive. It got horrible reviews and I didn't understand any of them. They must've been playing a different game then me!

Spore_7774572d ago

Never played it, never will -_-
