Was I the only one expecting Quantum Break earlier? They seem to be placing a lot of focus on the holidays, but I don't think thats the problem. They should, IMO, spread titles out all year.

QB was interesting after the unveiling, but the moment I saw gameplay I started to fall asleep. So generic, looks like every other game. I was very disappointed, as I'm a massive fan of TPP games

Same here.  I wanted this to be the game to make me want an Xbox... I absolutely love the concept, but the execution seems so dull. :(

Freeze time, run up for melee, wash and repeat...


The thing is anyone can make anything sound boring by doing that. 


No. The thing is that gameplay really looked bad and boring. I was very intrigued by what they showed first, but then it turned out to be yet another generic shooter with time-freeze mechanic. Such a massive let-down. I was hoping they'd use this in a totally different way. Obviously, they still can have an ace up their sleeve, but in my case the early excitement in totally gone.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

If the Quantum Break release date is true, why is MS consolidating their exclusives so much? They do know that the other 8 months are also important. Meanwhile, the PS4 will be getting Bloodborne and The Order: 1886 in February as well as the obvious MLB 15: The Show in the spring.

The way I see it. MS is the only company going hard on the exclusives front so is no surprise to see Q3/4 of next year looking good already.

that's great but what about winter, spring, and summer? if ms waits until holiday 2015 to "go hard" the generation will already be lost to them.

They've got Fable Legends which should come out of the first half of 2015. Not sure what else. 


Well Fable Legends is not really a big title, it could even be a digital title so not even a small system seller except for those who'll fell in the trap of Fable name and think it's a big RPG



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

 PS4: 17m   XB1: 10m    WiiU: 10m   Vita: 10m

Isn't TPSs like that?

Uncharted... climb, shoot, hide. CTRL+C and CTRL+V.

Isn't it?

Most of them are, but that's the thing. I was hoping this one would stand out instead of being yet another forgetable run-of-the-mill game. And when it comes to Uncharted, I'm hoping ND is gonna reduce the climbing/shooting in favour of more puzzles and plot. U3 was best in that regard, so I hope they're gonna go that way even further. The success of TLOU should support this idea. Though obviously these are staples of the series and will be a big part of gameplay, Drake isn't getting rid of his gun anytime soon But I hope the genre is gonna improve and we'll see more diversed experiences

Remedy's expertise in the gameplay/game mechanics are the best in the industry.

Just being the creators of Max Payne series and Alan Wake should be enough keep fears away.

i think, its very late. summer ?  bloodborne and the order 1886, february is amazing. And persona 5 + uncharted 4 are coming 2015.

why so late with QB ?


Remdey is not a very big studio.  Alan Wake took forever to develop also.  Was hoping for a earlier date but I guess I can wait until September of next year.



TheGoldenBoy on 14 October 2014

I thought Quantum Break was supposed to release earlier that?



SvennoJ on 14 October 2014

Qauntum break in September? That way it's going to be the next Dishonered. Bad time for it imo. March would be a better time. The game being finished is most important of course, but I had hoped for something interesting to play after the Februari madness dies down.
