I wasn't expecting this until late 2016 anyway. Remedy games seemingly always go through endless delays.

Rumor: Quantum Break delayed to early 2016

Yeah, but I mean 6 years is crazy dev cycle length. At the very least thats inefficiency or something. I mean Naughty Dog is roughly 250 people.
6 years? Is that actual development time, or was that when the idea was born?

This reminds me, I randomly had a dream about Alan Wake last night and I haven't played that game in years, but I don't remember any details. These things must be related.
On topic though: They can take however long they need to make this game great. I'd rather have a better game later than a poorer one sooner.

6 years is a bad estimate. American Nightmare came out in 2012 and Remedy was likely working on Alan Wake 2 for a bit before shifting development to Quantum Break probably sometime in early 2013. 2016 would likely be 3 1/2 years or development or so, I bet.

Sure. My problem is that they announced a 2015 release only to (allegedly) push it back to 2016 not even 3 full months into the year.
They announced nothing so far.
ok, assuming the rumor is true, it would be odd, as the footage shown seemed very polished, so here's hoping it's not delayed and the rumor is false.
Thanks Doffen didnt realize Ori comes out so soon, that game has me eager to try it, is a new IP etc

Yeah, this is some random tweet without a source, right?

Polished footage could be nothing but a vertical slice. Overall you wouldn't go out and show not polished footage, because then forums would explode with rage.

This is a Remedy game, a delay is inevitable. They usually promise a lot with graphics and gameplay and disappoint on both counts.

Can't they just rush it out so we can complain about it being rushed?
I think he was just talking about exclusives
Like the Uncharted 4 gameplay video at Sony event

If true that means Tomb Raider is gonna be my only xb1 game this fall unless a Gears collection is announced.

I'm sure that game will be great but it doesn't really support itself as a tentpole release title. Indies and smaller games support big titles, they don't really serve as a flagship release for a month. Hence Ori would be comparable to something like Helldivers. Whereas Bloodborne is the tentpole release. Plus Ori isn't an exclusive.

Even with the glitch, that video of U4 probably looks a ton better then what the daily build of the game does.

That's why I put allegedly in my post.

It's PC/Xbox exclusive.
I mean, no.
I don't think it's too bad it got delayed, MS still have Halo and Tomb Raider. Plus I think Sony only have Uncharted in Q4 so...
It's on PC? Sweet!
I mean I have an Xbox One anyway, but the horsepower helps!

So not exclusive then. Everyone has a PC. "XBox/PC Exclusive" is basically a meaningless phrase that gives marketers something to say.

They essentially showed the same polished demo 3 times, which comes across to me as they are trying to prove work is getting done. But it's that one demo every time, so I get the sense that it's not near completion.
As far as I know, nobody from MS or Remedy ever confirmed that this game will come to PC.
I don't think PC had ever been talked about.

This makes a lot of sense actually. Kind of how Nintendo likes to spread their titles out to avoid draughts. I bet Microsoft wishes they had delayed sunset overdrive until now and released it in March. What good did it really do them last year released at the same time as all their other games? Quantum Break would do a lot more for them in the Spring than the fall, IMO.

Excellent.
He was talking about Ori and the Blind Forest, which if people are discounting all the PS4/PC games as not exclusive, should count that one as well.

NOOOOOOOO!!!
Might be for the best though, give it a good window hopefully with not much else coming out since the end of this year looks to be cramped up. Plus I would rather they delay than rush it, in Remedy we trust!

They're talking about Ori. But I wouldn't be surprised if this game also hits Windows 10.

Not even close to remotely true.
Ori looks really fantastic.
I still can't understand why Ori is a $20 game and Screamride was $40.
I wouldn't say that at all. Multiplats do well on consoles since many people don't play on PC. Therefore, a game that's a console exclusive is still viewed as "exclusive" to many -- more than just simple marketing.

Oh come on. Not everyone has gaming PCs. Of course Ori takes less to run than other games, but removing "exclusive" because of being on PC is a bit ridiculous. That even removes many of Sony's exclusives since a lot of them are indie titles. Add in some titles being available on Xbox 360 and PS3 as well as their next-gen counterparts and that makes barely anything exclusive to XB1 and PS4. I'm guessing that console warriors will just keep changing what "exclusive" means to help their arguments. *shrug*
EDIT: Yup... this conversation moved to Ori. Sorry.

This statement is so silly, because everyone knows that you're talking about "console exclusive" when you say "exclusive."

Ah OK. My bad.

Obviously I didn't mean that literally every human being on the planet has a PC.
Really wish I didn't have to clarify that.

I don't think they ever said 2015, so no problem. Early 2016 could be good window for sales and attention.
Welp....Ori looks fantastic.

Could actually work out better for the game. No holiday madness to compete with, and it being a new IP and whatnot.
Mac, Android, iOS?
