Could someone tell me how long these episodes are? Use spoiler tag if you want.
20-22 minutes.

Well you're going to love it on that big screen man.
Nice attention to details too. Jack's jacket sways very realistically when you walk around and not only the lower parts of the jacket but his whole jacket. I dig that Shit.
Yeah, quite a lot of pop in as well. Found sitting back and playing on my TV solved most of the blurry issues. Game looks great most of the time though!

I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm only at Act 2 Part 2, but it's been a lot of fun
That TV in the opening area tho

Yes that's true, but for a 720p game it looks really damn good. And again I am so glad we barely see any aliasing. That stuff distracts me so much. I don't have these great effects yet and you really spot some of the less pretty stuff. Metal bars don't really look like metal bars and when you look at them the texture seems to move or it's some kind of weird blur effect on it. Maybe all the result of low resolution and the AA solution?
I do believe though that Remedy did all they could for this game tech wise, considering the hardware. I can't help but think about how sick it must look at 1080p and 60fps.
Yeah, i didn't watch anything from him before, i actually didn't even know him as an actor, though he's really surpriced me, so far he plays Jack Joyce very well, i also saw interviews of him playing and talking about the game, he's a cool guy
Yeah, they can be paused, not sure if you can resume if you turn off your console but you can rewatch all episodes.

Half way through Act 2. Game is great and the shooting feels really good. Man I missed Remedy.
Finished Act 1 last night and watched first episode (PR) this morning. Really good game. I'm getting used to using the powers and how to do cover but i'm really just running around and then use vision when I find cover and try to think of something cool to pull off.
Looking forward to Act 2.

does the games slightly weird movement animations come across as much while you're playing? or is it something you notice more while you're watching footage?
the way the protagonist moves and always settles on his left foot with little to no transition, and the way he aims with little to no frames of animation look super jarring while viewing gameplay. but i'm hoping it's just down to scrutinizing more due to being a passive viewer?
anyone able to clarify?

I preordered the game last month from the Microsoft store so how do I know if I get the Windows Store version? Haven't gotten an email yet.

The shooting is pretty hot. The videos didn't make it look great, but it feels really good once the controller is in hand.
You really dont notice while playing really. The aiming was a design choice i read and i agree it feels good to play.
Playing the game is like a complete 180 from watching someone else. It's fast, fun, and you're watching what's happening around you vs watching your character. I don't even think about it or notice my character while playing unless I'm making sure I'm in cover.

By the way, people, a service announcement:
If you want to replay the game using your same ability upgrades, DON'T USE THE 'NEW GAME' OPTION. It'll wipe your progress entirely, including upgrades and collectibles.
Start your replay using the Timeline-feature in the main menu instead. Just start by replaying the first mission.
Don't download them, just stream them. Unless you're super anal about needing to have everything on your HDD, even if you're only going to watch them once, you'll be fine by just streaming them.

When I got my Quantum Break on Friday I tried to used the Alan Wake code too but it didn't work either. I put it down to the game not being officialy out yet. But I did hear about pre-orders being swapped out for a different game than Alan Wake? I got a code from Shopto for Alan Wake American nightmare which I was able to successfully redeem.

I can't talk for anyone else, but I rarely noticed due to how hectic the gameplay can be.

Oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, the first time you get to use the handgun. Remedy nails the satisfaction of shooting. But I do noticed how it was a bit tricky while aiming, I have disabled any kind of aiming assist and it didn't seem as snappy and accurate as other third person shooters. But I will adjust to this I'm sure.
As many other have noticed earlier is the transition from standing around to aiming, its like there are animations missing. Odd, because before you get the gun and you hold LT, it slowly zooms in, why not do that for aiming?

Well I've completed Act 1 and watched the first live action episode.
Nothing groundbreaking but very solid. The gameplay once you get the hang of the toys in the game is really fun. The live action stuff was okay for the first couple minutes before the real actors left and the other people had to carry it, after that much cringe.

Dear Remedy,
I always feel you put a lot of care, love, and general passion in your projects. The results of which end up feeling amazing. I've watched your videos, seen the interviews, and one thing you have always come across as is how genuine, nice, and passionate you all are.
But... if all these Alan Wake teases, easter eggs, mentions, etc in Quantum Break don't lead to Alan Wake 2... I'm gonna be heart broken. Like legit, most dissapointed gaming moment forever.
That said Quantum Break is one hell of a game and now I have two series from you all that I want sequels to. One day at a time, I suppose.... One day at a time.

It's a design choice. They wanted to make aiming snappy and not have you wait for your animation to complete.

Player response over animation priority, sounds like a good preference.

Wow just been in to my local store and they don't have any copies, my points would of been worth £16 too.
Game looks good but I'll just wait till a sale for the physical version now.
Feels good to play. Nice and responsive. You won't notice it while you are playing because you are focused on the enemies and the environment.

Hmm that does make sense yeah.
Nice stuff, in this stutter moment I walk towards the baddies who are all frozen in time and you automatically pick up their rifles when you touch them. Leaving them standing there without rifles but in the guns ready position, haha.

Yeah forget it, not paying that.
I will never love a game that much like Alan Wake. I am sure I will enjoy QB but my heart is still with Remedy's second franchise. And I feel their heart is there too.

I had a problem as well but turned out I already owned it. I think it must have been a Games With Gold game at some point or something.
Just got to work, so a long day ahead of me, but looking forward to checking this out tonight. Think I talked my wife into watching TV on her own upstairs.

Me neither. Though can't you just buy the X1 boxed version for £35 and get the PC code that way?
