It's an insanely risky experiment. I don't think gamers request TV shows to be integrated into gaming and I think Quantum Break is destined to fail big time and will eventually turn out to be Remedy's last big project after which they will be forced into indie development.

Remember you read it here first.

Why the negativity?

Didn't I just say so? Most gamers have no interest in this concept.

The integration of a TV show doesn't add anything to a gaming experience, it only risks desintegrating and limiting it. It's a distraction. It's a faulty thought right from the start. The consumption of passively watching TV is so different from actively putting in and playing a game. Perhaps someone will be able to integrate them sometime in the future somehow, but it won't be Remedy and Quantum Break.

Plus it will be expensive, it automatcially becomes so with live actors and multiple paths in a TV series. Immensily risky.

Kinda reminds me of Heavy rain with the decisions and the different Characters.

Plus time manipulation, TP shooter, live action show that is impacted by in-game decisions etc...

More elements don't necessarily make a game better. If just a single element is bad it could make the game suffer as a whole.

Not trying to be negative here but i am not sure about this game. It's either going to be great or a mess.

Sounds really a lot more interesting, now that I actually comprehend the trailer. It'll probably be Niche, but if they make do it like Payday it should comfortably be profitable. I would presume making a live tv show segments would be expensive, but it won't be got level. I'm only worried how MS will market it. Cause if they need to market it to the right market and QB could be mainstream but definitely not with gamers, that's fps territory. Granted, MS would market it the best of the big three tbh.

You're talking about Gears territory?

Third person shooter? With live action show that is impacted by the way you play it? C'mon

Remedy, baby... this game ain't coming out until it works as intended.

They didn't even allow pre-orders let alone set a release date.



It seems Sci Fi Drama more than Sci Fi action, by not mainstream I mean not modern military shooter :O

This game will make more studios realise that people don't want fads.
