Quantum Break PC is a mess (non-native render, badly optimized, overpriced, etc)

So I guess getting 60fps on at least XB1 settings on a 970 is out of the question?

I think so, I haven't played it on PC yet but to see people having trouble with otherwise is a very solid game is pissing me off. These MS are pushing on PC are good games but yet they are being tarnished with this shit. Do they really think these games will sell better because of PC release as well when so far we've only had KI that's been good and that F2P? This will impact sales in a negative way which may hurt the IP in the long run, fucking MS. Sure I have the X1 version, but that doesn't mean the PC version should be shit.

This is the most disturbing of all, IMO.
Makes me wonder how QA could miss that, unless it wasn't QA'd.

Blame always goes to the top in this case that would be MS.
ki's game logic is tied to he monitor refresh rate. it's unplayable at anything other than 60hz.
gears has massive performance issues.
minecraft's uwp version doesn't support any minecraft mods.

Minecraft on PC.. without mods...
They should release working ports, then UWP would matter way less. Wanting it to be open so that others can fix releases games is just messed up.

U4 games still run like mess on PC for the most part.

Eh. That slight softness makes it look more "real" than it would if it was 100% perfectly sharp (though in other areas that softness is TOO soft... such as with Littlefinger in the background as mentioned.) Still say it's probably the best face I've seen in a game. not just in still form, they did a great job with the animations too.

A real damn shame about the performance at launch. I really, really, want to play this game, but I think my money will go to Dark Souls III when that releases instead. I can wait on this game, it just desperately needs performance patches and whatnot.
I won't fund this game as is if that'll encourage devs to keep pushing out games in this sort of state.

This is starting to feel like GFWL all over again.

So far Microsoft has shown they care exactly as much about PC gaming as they have in the past. Which is next to none.

I was right there with Spencer when he was talking up Uncharted 4, and responding to fans about wishing games to fail on other platforms. But Phil... You screwed yourself here.
Terrible first impressions. Probably never going to try UWP if even Remedy can't get it right.

welcome to the app based future
don't worry i'm sure they'll get mods working once they can charge for them
Hahah, you're right. I got confused.
He was a lieutenant and was later named commisioner.
UWP is worse. At least GFWL didn't really affect modding. By design, UWP will never provide full access to a game's files and will never allow arbitrary modding.

Those wishing remedy to port this game to steam...isn't the IP owned by Microsoft?

At this rate I'm never buying a game from Microsoft Store. Such a trainwreck.
Wonder what Phil has to say about this.

In an ideal world every game would work great and flawlessly and we'd have a setup for every game to allow whatever mods we'd want without opening the door to potential piracy.
Realistically however? Someone's going to shit the bed and it'd be nice if someone else were allowed to clean it up just in case. And this doesn't even touch possible issues decades or even just a few years later.

Right, I kinda forgot about UWP not supporting mods.
Well, they have games like Halo Assault and Age of Empires on Steam, and Ori.
Maybe later, way later, I guess.
He'll make a great speech, as usual.
lmao thats so perfect
Shame about the PC build, hopefully they can remedy it.
The game is absolutely awesome and deserves a proper port.
I still stand by the idea that it's not even a "port" like we're use to. I think it's a last second Xbox One to PC conversion using Microsoft's UWP software that turns games into Apps (that's a very not technical description of it..lol). A proper port would need much longer.

I would have thought PC ports would be easy for them. I guess not, what a shame.
I could get on board this campaign.

They'll be on steam of UWP/UWA continue to seem to be shit for games and they aren't selling any digital copies.
I still don't know who to blame as I feel it can't be all of UWP/UWA for the performance of this game looking at other games.

Didn't the first Assassin's Creed PC port also not have a quit option? I seem to remember that. Let's hope someone at Microsoft / Remedy are working on a patch. I don't have an Xbox One anymore so I'll give them a chance to sort things out before I think about ordering Quantum Break PC..

It does seem like an extremely rushed pc port unfortunately, and it was announced relatively recently too. Let's hope the next big Win 10 game fares a lot better, eh?

That frame time graph is nuts. I don't understand why they would release a game in such a state
Temporal reconstruction my ass. They can call i whatever they want, but based on the quality of some these screenshots, even the supersampled ones and how blurry everything looks, it seems like the PC version might as well be running at a lower native resolution upscaled with postfx.
I don't know what's worse, someone over at M$ thinking this would be a good idea or the people still defending this crap and M$'s strategy in regards to games on UWP.

Should've posted one with matching dithering artifacts... complete the cycle!
It's not UWP's fault, obviously. These are rushed and/or underfunded ports. UWP compounds the issue because it means that the community can't provide fixes.

If you wait too long, it won't be a free upgrade anymore. It's only free for a year.

how the fuck can they justify this?
