Not necessarily for a shooter. I think just being a bad game killed this one.

Perhaps they shouldn't have put out a demo.

I actually have the game.....lol....it's okay, I have a high tolerance for bad games!!!

Did you finish it? Is your tolerance high enough to make this feasible?


just got it today, and only played for about an hour:

the narrative is horrible i must say, very predictable and cliche lines, and just bad voice acting in general

the graphics are damn right ugly, looks like a mix between a late PS2 game and an early PS3 game(though the cutscenes are actually decent) also for practically every headshot you do there is this 2-3sec cutscene of their head exploding, which just gets annoying after awhile...

they're is actually some decent action in this game, but its ruined by dumb AI, they practically walk into your line of fire, and move incredibly slow!!! with the ability to carry three weapons at once  is a neat idea, but with ammo locations practically everywhere there is no challenge, also melee attacks are incredibly strong, it takes two hits to kill almost any enemy(that I've encountered so far)

The demo released was bad. It was hard to control, colors looked like shit and mediocre voice acting. It wasn't fun at all =/.

They tried copying too hard.

Is it coincidence that DOA is what Tecmo does best?

I feel really bad for Tecmo, they made an attempt an failed. I also think that the western media is being way to harsh on it. After playing the demo, watching some gameplay vids and the Giant Bomb Quicklook, I've come to the conclusion that it's very similar to Gears of War, but it has a better frame rate. I wouldn't mind giving it a go eventually, but it's not even being stocked in Melbourne.


Melbourne? Dude, are you from FIT?

What went wrong with Quantom Theory? The fact that there are no ads around, and I never knew it released before seeing this thread just to name a few.

Maybe if Tecmo advertised it more. I read one preview of this game and that was forever ago. I didn't even know it was out until this thread said it was released.

I haven't played the demo, game or read reviews, but I'd imagine that the results of the game simply reinforced how GREAT the GeoW games actually were and how talented Epic's dev staff really is.

This game wasn't even near my radar.  I thought it was an FPS, to be honest.  I went to youtube after reading this thread. I may try the demo.  I'm not going to spell the name right, though.  In fact, I'm going to spell it even MORE wrong.  The Quotum Theary trailer looks decent, though.


how can a game about the theory of quotes be bad?
