Could anyone do me a solid and update me on what's left on the exclusive front for 2014? Thanks.

 

[Kayant]

Many websites promoted this game as 2014 release. For example

http://www.joystiq.com/2013/07/09/quantum-break-preview-xbox-one/
http://www.gamespot.com/articles/ne...v-may-come-to-video-game-awards/1100-6416292/

Yh I saw was just pointing out it was referenced officially(Well at least from MS not remedy) as that before.

 

[Gbraga]

Yeah, this can only mean one thing: Alan Wake 2 is coming

Spoiler

I wish XD

Summer 2039

Could anyone do me a solid and update me on what's left on the exclusive front for 2014? Thanks.

Sunset Overdrive

 

[KainXVIII]

Screenies looks rough, but hope it lands on pc someday.

[Gray Matter]

Also has anyone noticed that the unnamed guy with the black leather jacket looks a lot like Mark-Paul Gosselaar. You might know him as zach from saved by the bell.

Spoiler

if it's not him, we'll hear from him demanding some compensation for using his "likeliness" without permission lol.

 

[Kinyou]

Pretty shocked that the game isn't getting some air time at E3. It does look good though based on that small amount of footage, and I'll always love me some Remedy... so yeah, maybe I'll purchase me an Xbox One at some point next year when this comes out.

I'm a bit confused about that as well. The gamescom conferences are usually a lot smaller than their E3 counterparts. You'd think they put this on the greatest stage possible.

Maybe they'll do some "All the games we show today will release in 2014" shtick at E3

Graphics look excellent. The only similar playing game on consoles with better graphics thus far is probably the Order.

 

[Ubersnug]

FUGGIN SAVED!

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Damn, bummer this won't be out till next year.

 

[SlasherJPC]

No E3 because Alan Wake 2 announcement incoming? A man can dream. Though this is 2015, still looking great. 2015 should be a interesting year for these new consoles.

 

[LukasTaves]

Quantum Break definitely looks like it has a more advanced version of the 'every light is a volumetric light' engine from Alan Wake.

For instance if you look at this screen:



The muzzle flash from the guy hiding behind the crate in the background looks like a volumetric light.

Yeah, it really seems like it.

Some tidbits showing a big city on the background when Sam lake is talking also looks like their open world engine, even if they are still using it to deliver a linear experience again.

You mean the Main Character? His name is Jack Joyce played by Phil Spencer

 

[charsace]

Looks as good as the best looking games seen so far. Cinematic is a word remedy never uses, I don't like them using it now. The character looks like a super hero in this and remedy's gun play is some of the best so I want it.

The game has a stylized look and a stylized shader similar to Metal Gear 5. Just glad this is another game that isn't trying to hide that the look of the game is stylized.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Maybe I need to see more, but my first impression based on the screenshots is that the game doesn't... look... that good? It looks pretty nice, but the chromatic aberration and fucked up foliage and weird inconsistent AA and blurriness really looks ugly to me, especially in this shot:

The "film grain" also makes it look like a magazine scan to me and less like an actual film.


EDIT: I think it's less film grain and more some bizarre dithering that reminds me of PSP screenshots.

 

[shacklesmcgee]

This has really "ruined" the game for me actually. I can't see anyone but him now, and I just giggle that it's like his secret plan to be in every game now that he's head of xbox.

 

[Green Yoshi]

So glad that I live in Cologne.

 

[Gray Matter]

Phil has time to run Xbox and do mocap for quantum break?

 

[BruiserBear]

The time freezing mechanic looks so cool. I really want to see what the moment to moment gameplay looks like.

I'm really worried about the TV show part of this though. If it's executed poorly it could really mess up what is otherwise a great game.

 

[KainXVIII]

Maybe I need to see more, but my first impression based on the screenshots is that the game doesn't... look... that good?

Also bad texture filtering (no AF?).

 

[FuKuy]

Am I the only one who wouldn't be surprised to see a PC version on 2016?

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Very stylish looking.
Can't wait to see more.

I adore the time freeze effect.

More games should have something like that.

 

[Kuro]

Game isn't looking too hot from a technical perspective but I'm intrigued about the gameplay and the animation looks really smooth.

 

[Kajiba]

Game looks so good.

MGSVPP and this next year. Lawd

 

[charsace]

I mean to say as far as that original demo compares the lighting seems to have taken a massive downgrade, the image quality and perhaps even the models too. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

What? The lighting situation in the original trailer was different. That trailer had more intense like and a lot of mirrors reflecting things. A scene like that is going to look impressive on the lighting front.

 

[SlipperyMoose]

Are you sure it is a timed exclusive?

IP is owned by M.S.

 

[HassanJamal]

Sam Lake.

Sam Lake? This man, I'd like to shake his hands.

Sadly, that's "Jack Joyce". I was really excited for this game when Sammy Lakey introduced its protagonist as Chuck Choice - it sounds like the exact kind of Remedy Stupid I want from them. His actual name isn't nearly as good.

Jack Joyce? Screw it, Im calling him Jack Choice.

 

[dreamfall]

I WANT IT. I neeeeeeds it.

God, I love Sam Lake. I love Remedy- I hope the show is awesome. The Fracture time stopping and that flying superman punch! My goodness!

 

[Hoo-doo]

I think the screenshots are not great. The stuff in-motion looks a lot better though.

The grain, aliasing and CA do these shots no favours.

 

[DoktorEvil]

Subbed.

I'm so happy Sam Lake stayed with Remedy.

I love his writing styles when it comes to narrative driven games.

Plus, this looks very stylized.

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Am I the only one who wouldn't be surprised to see a PC version on 2016?

MS hasn't been doing the Xbox to PC thing very often lately for AAA titles, so I doubt you'll see a port.

 

[rrc1594]

Game looks so good.

MGSVPP and this next year. Lawd

Halo
The Order
Uncharted
maybe Zelda

This why I could never own one console it's impossible

Am I the only one who wouldn't be surprised to see a PC version on 2016?

MS is in no position be doing that.

 

[Gbraga]

Jack Joyce? Screw it, Im calling him Jack Choice.

I support this. Jack Choice it is.

 

[Nirolak]

On whether if it was delayed or not. I did find that MS was at least referenced it as a 2014 title once

"Tonight at VGX 2013, the next generation of Spike TV’s annual Video Game Awards, Microsoft and Remedy Entertainment revealed a brand-new trailer for the Xbox One exclusive “Quantum Break,” giving fans a glimpse at all-new gameplay footage and the creative vision behind one of 2014’s most anticipated blockbusters. "

OT - Those screenshots look amazing. The environment details are top notch.

Okay since this is directly from Microsoft's website and listed as posted by their staff, I'm reverting the title.

 

[nib95]

Halo
The Order
Uncharted
maybe Zelda

Holy shit, couple that with The Witcher 3, FFXV and possibly Beast Soul's and you're right, it could be a legendary year for gaming.

 

[cyberheater]

Really? I think people forget what the lighting actually looks like in those top tier games. QB isn't quite there yet. Just a quick rough comparison.


Anyway, different strokes.

Yeah. Maybe I need to have another look at those games.

 

[charsace]

Perhaps a comparison to another non-open world, 2015 title like The Order would be more apt.

I would bet that the play areas in this are much bigger than The Order and Ryse. Pictures look like they will have big play areas like they did in Alan Wake.

 

[SniperHunter]

Holy shit, couple that with The Witcher 3, FFXV and possibly Beast Soul's and you're right, it could be a legendary year for gaming.

FFXV will probably be a 2016 title IMO

 

[Putty]

Wasn't that impressed. After 1886 things just don't seem on it. Still, bags of time to get it looking tip top.

 

[fasTRapid]

What? The lighting situation in the original trailer was different. That trailer had more intense like and a lot of mirrors reflecting things. A scene like that is going to look impressive on the lighting front.

The original trailer wasn't running in real-time and never will. I'd put it, just comparing the graphics, between Watch Dogs and inFAMOUS: SS, leaning more to the former.

2015 release date was expected.

 

[quickwhips]

Between this and Gears 2015 - 2016 are going to be good years to own an Xbox One.

 

[Putty]

I think the lighting and animation it top notch on this. The Order looks great as well but not as good as this. I think the lighting in this is better.

And you kept a straight face in the process? Blimey.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

the truck Jack time freezes

is the same as this one

 

[Louis Cyphre]

2015 is already shaping up to be a huge battle.

 

[LightOfTruth]

Graphics look awesome and the gameplay looks badass, it really gives off a next-gen vibe. My worry is the story.

 

[Pound_lb003]

This game looks really cool actually.

Loved that snap of martial arts and time stopping.

Holy shit, you're right. That goddamn chromatic aberration. It needs to stop.

Yea, I wouldn't have imagined all media pitting it as a 2014 title on just a whim, at least not every single media publication out there. I've noticed that generally, some of the outlets just put TBA and do not assign a year unless they have some sort of information or understanding otherwise.
