I saw enough gameplay to know QB has nothing that unique, it's just a TPS using cool time power, saying it's a revolution for TPS to have an offensive TPS is just untrue, that's it.

Quote me saying revolution. Or direct your post to the right person that said it.

QB is not unique you said. What other Third Person Shooter uses time mechanics in combat as extensively and uniquely as QB?

Just to be clear, ONLY third person shooters? Because there's actually a first person shooter that comes to mind when I think 'shooters with heavy use of time manipulation in their mechanics,' but if the camera positioning disqualifies it I might as well know now before I bring it up. =P

There are tons of games that use the time manipulating mechanic, i would like to know the parameters of his statement too.

Does it includes only third person shooters? Third person games in general? Every genre?

You talked about it like a revolution since you said it's the first game to bring something new to the TPS genre since Gears 1.

Based on your definition of unique, most games have something unique.



Predictions for end of 2014 HW sales:

Pretty cool looking game, would definitely buy it if I had an XBone (would've bought Alan Wake too but no 360)

I might be getting a free W10 code from a co-worker on launch week so I'll give it a shot then. In terms of value/ length I wouldn't pay full price for it though.

What's the length of QB?

It's too bad that two of Xbox one exclusives (Quantum Break & Gears 4) this year are Third person shooters. I put in over 100 hours in The Division already this year, TPS overdose.

I look forward to the cinematic experience and the time feature in Quantum Break. I wont pre-order or buy the game on release date but will probably pick it up during a Summer 2016 sales.

That massive "qunatum break episode pack" of 75.61GB really sucks for anyone with crappy internet services. could be a deal breaker for some potential customers.

Two different beasts. Quantum Break is an Action Adventure, while Gears is a just a Shooter.

You don't grind in none of them and they all play different. The only similarity are the camera angles.

I guess this is the classic time bending third person shooter people were talking about earlier. Nothing unique uh?
