Quantum Break is rarely mentioned among the best looking games but it looks very nice

If you're playing on PC I recommend reshade/sharpening

thats because most people played it on xbox one where it looked way worse than its 900p resolution. the game was way too blurry.
it did look good but i preferred Ryse to it. never played it on my xbox one x or PC but i just might do that now.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
It's a good looking game that still holds up. No 60 FPS patch unfortunately but at least the One X update made it run at a much higher resolution than the blurry One S version at launch.
Unfortunately the *GAME* part of the package is kind of a let down. Surprisingly I actually kinda liked the TV episodes they produced. They were fairly good production quality and had good cast.
But QB is probably my least favorite Remedy game.

Hmm, if they can manage that without dropping to One S resolution, that'd be great. The game is extremely blurry on base Xbox settings.

It's the first time I ever saw Temporal Upscaling.

Control looks like crap in comparison. Also extremely weird how floaty Control feels compared to Quantum Break (and no not because there's levitation in Control). Quantum Break feels more refined, and like it should have come out after Control. Not the other way around.

The PBR in QB is incredible. I enjoyed it a lot more than Control.

Raytracing in Control can look great, but I think QB is a better looking game overall. It's an interesting game that I have never really made up my mind about. I feel the same way about most Remedy games.

Microsoft fucked me in the ass when I bought this game on the MS store. The MS store version doesn't play the cinematic sequences anymore, because MS took them all down. These sequences are like 50% of the game! And nowhere on the MS store does it warn you that the sequences aren't in the game anymore. I later bought a Steam key for like five bucks because I really wanted to play it. The Steam version still has the movies. That was like the third game I bought on the MS store, and it was also the last game I'll ever buy on there. I don't appreciate getting ripped off.

The scene when you find the time machine was probably one of the most impressive things I had ever seen in a game up to that point.
Let me not lie its still hella impressive im sad we might never get a sequel.
If i still had the game installed Id load up to that point and make gifs cuz apparently no one has made any of that scene.
Even the Stutter fight scenes were so cool, this engines post effects made those fights so so impressive, destroy the guys back pack and hes no longer immune to time stop so as hes dying he freezes in place.
P.S That Dr Amaral can get it.

I liked the story but the gameplay was repetitive and boring and yeah the graphics are better than Control

This was the only "DRM" in the MS Store version:
The game made you wear an eyepatch.
You should know by now that Remedy dont use any DRM in their games.

One of my fav game to replay once in a while. Getting the one x enhancement helps a lot on image quality.

Windows Store itself was what I was referring to.

Game was good. The combat was fun when u got powerful enough.
It felt like it was one level too short though. Should ha had a level when time stops
For anyone interested 13 monkeys the tv series took off in a direction where it rips off ideas from QB with time breaking down, violent stutters, characters wearing suits that let them move while time is broken, and a big battle at the end of time in a city designed to be a time machine.

Get it on Steam....ohh but then you will have Steam DRM?
It wasnt the Windows Store that caused performance issues.
The game was DX12 when DX12 wasnt great.(Read as was horrible, Remedy didnt want to use DX12 at all)
The DX11 exe runs much better.
People would force turn off the Temporal upscaling.....at the time basically no hardware could run the game maxed out at native 1080p60, which is why the game had Temporal upscaling on by default and disabling the feature was hidden. (The engine has built in 4xMSAA)
So people immediately jumped to the game is broken.....no it was just ahead of its time, games should be forward looking and the tech in QB was way way ahead of GTX900 series.

Depends which version you got - Steam one runs better in DX11, whereas the MS Store one shines in DX12. I personally wasn't able to get steady 60FPS with the Steam version, whereas MS Store one ran at 70+ on the exact same settings, so I refunded the Steam one.
Turn down Volumetric Lightning to medium, higher settings do virtually almost nothing while eatting up like 20-30FPS, literally. Effects on Medium instead of High also unleash quite a bit performance. If those two are not enough, turn down reflections one notch down as well.
The upscaler (along with grain filter) completely destroy the image quality, which is a big part of the reason the game is so overlooked when it comes to its visials. The upscaler is only good if you play at 4K, everything below that is better at native resolution with toned fown settings instead (ESPECIALLY the volumetric light, you have only three spots in the game with god rays where you'll notice any difference at all).

So which bitter & twisted member of the Remedy Dev team are you..Should I look out for you on the games credits?

When was the last update on the MS Store version.
Remedy abandoned that version pretty early unless im mistaken.
I got the game on VCR Xbox One, loved it.
Played on MS Store couldnt get to 1080p60 with a GTX970. (The whole reason i got the PC version was to see the game at its best)
Got the Steam version cuz all the early impressions said it was better.
And thats the version i spent the most time with, so i dont know when or if the MS Store version got updates.

That reconstruction method they used ruins the games visuals even at a higher native rendering resolution and that combined with 30fps doesn't help. Outside of that the game looks great visually.
Wouldn't mind a sequel although it really should just be bled into the Control sequel or Alan Wake sequel given the interconnected universe.

Well it's one of the first techniques, if not the very first one. Like I said in previous post - it does the job done when upscaling to 4k, as the native res is 1440p, so like in any modern upscaling tech like TAAU, FSR, DLSS, but going from a mere 720p back in the day made the game look like.... 720p really, because there's just so little information to bring up the missing pixels. Standing still did bring it very very close to native 1080p, as each one of 4 previous frames were almost identical, but as soon as you started moving around it looked like something from X360.

That's hilarious, didn't know that was a thing.
This was a great game IMO, I wished there was more when it was finished. Slept on it for a long time, just played it recently.

I play at 4K, everything max without upscaler I get 50- 60 fps, if its on I get 100+... but I'm locking it to 90fps and turning vsync off (if its on, it judders) ( 70-80 gpu %)
