Hopefully we'll get some more feedback on QB performance. Not going to update to win10 for some rushed port.
I trust T10 will do a good job but it's a bare bones Apex version with no wheel support so I think I'm good for now.

Hey it's you! I just tweeted the follow up at you. Doesn't appear to have been second hand info as you expected but at least it cleared up for him.

No preload for a ~45GB game. Thanks, MS! They have preloading on Xbox One, why not on PC?
The Windows Store doesn't support preloads for whatever dumb reason.

I thought GFWL was horrible. But UWP... oh man. A disaster.

Any performance reports on a 970 yet?

is this a w10 exclusive ? :<
Thats not what QB twitter said.
It doesn't even support pre-orders. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that development of the WinStore used an early version of the X1's XBL store as a base (it also didn't support pre-orders for quite some time).

QB is not 1920x1080 on XBONE. It's 720p with reconstruction.
Output is not the same as render.

Link is here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/games/quantum-break/9nblggh6h0rv
But when the store launches it still says it's not available. Unfortunately I leave for work in 5-10 minutes so I can't wait it out until 9am local time. And it'll take six hours to download over my connection. Guess I'm firing it up at midnight... (if at all, for today).

At least UWP makes up for no pre-loading.

Honestly if Microsoft wants to unify his platforms for the future of their gaming vision, they really need to do something for the Store. I think it will be more useful to have a launcher like the one they had with GFWL than use the Windows Store itself like is it now.

I think thats what they actually want, but they fucked up GFWL so badly they've been told they're never getting the resources to make a dedicated PC gaming client again.
Which is why they've just grabbed the Win10 Store and UWAs even though they clearly aren't intended for anything more than mobile apps.
I hate PC games called "apps".
Haha, didn't knew that ! The oldest I could find was L4D2
Well, it wasn't quite preloading as we understand it today. The data was rolled out in phases.

Well, worst case is 2009 with L4D2 as far as I remember. Nearly 7 years later, and Microsoft isn't even up to date.

If you look at whats actually available on the Win10 Store that isn't funded by MS its difficult to describe whats on offer as "PC games"
Microsoft just want's to reduce the bandwidth use by using a brand-new JIT download method, much more efficient than downloading the game earlier in encrypted form, and then decrypting it slowly. With JIT download methods all those worries are a thing of the past.

Yeah, they clearly fucked up GFWL but why not do R&D correctly before creating a new mess ?
They have enough ressources to do something properly, it's Windows 10, their flagship even for gaming and they come with that ?

On the Win10 store on my PC in Australia right now.
They don't allow Gears to be purchased in Germany either, people bypassed it by choosing Austria from what I remember.

The game does not run at 1080p. Remedy utilized a method called "reconstruction" to make a cleaner looking 720p image.

WTF, really? And for what reason?

I love Remedy but there's no way I'm paying 70 for Quantum Break on Windows 10
I just saw what people said here and how they were able to get Gears so maybe it's the same issue.

I can confirm that Windows10 'apps' (such as Gears for example, from several sources) can't be purchased here in Indonesia as well.
Maybe it's the same case for the rest of SEA, or even the whole Asian countries.

Alright, they really don't want to sell this game at this point. I will spare money then.
edit: it is available now. 69.99 €. Console price huh?

Update on PC performance
Looks like performance is a bit unpredictable but at least it's encouraging things have evened out for him.
So why make such a statement if you haven't fully reviewed the game? That's embarrasing.

Is there a way to get W10 games cheaper by changing regions like XB1? No way am I paying 70 for a PC game lol
It doesn't seem to be notably cheaper anywhere. I've checked the Indian, Namibian, Russian and Ukrainian stores, and the lowest price is USD$49.
Why on earth have I just spent £60 on this?
I didn't even like Alan Wake... (and I spent something ridiculous on that as well). Plus my PC will probably die trying to play this.
Oh well. At least the download doesn't seem to be as awful as everyone makes the Windows Store out to be - I've got 4 gigs of it already. Only another 38 or so to go!!!

Pfft. Guess I'll finish the game on Xbone. :|
