The name is so simialr to Quantum Theory that I just assumed it sucked by association.

Quantum Leap was great, so the TV side of this must also be great!
I feel like we aren't actually playing as "normal" people. They seem quite involved with this Monarch company. Compared to Alan Wake who was a simple writer.The expensive-looking streetclothes aspect of them seems overdesigned is exactly my point. They have character likenesses to real actors (most of them), but the sleek leather jackets is an example of costuming choices I kind of find a bit farcical. I'm not asking these characters to look like De Niro in Ronin with actual plainclothes, but as a past point of reference from Remedy's past, I think Alan Wake's character design seemed to fit much more with that character and the matching fiction. It's definitely a stylistic choice, but it makes the characters feel, IMO, detached from the fiction -- almost like (but not to the same extent) the ridiculous leather-clad character designs in those Divergent teen lit films.
Must have missed that, sorry. Thanks for pointing it out.
No, it's about 22 minutes (give or take depending on the choice you make at each Junction Point) for each Episode. And there is an Episode at the end of each Act, but they are entirely optional. You aren't forced to watch them.
my bad, just read them.
still hyped for this, remedy is a top tier dev.
i wouldn't be surprised if you foudn this on /r/kotakuinaction
edit: dammit lol you edited before i submitted
What do you mean, "how can time explode"?
I explained this in the other thread.
BUT NOBODY LISTENS TO ME, DO THEY.
;-;
Seriously, though. It's not hard to figure out.
Magic, right?
Fictional element explanation, away:
Relative time displacement. Freeze everything around a certain point while time keeps flowing in a controlled area.
Can also be used to stop the location displacement of an object while keeping its relative time running. For example, throw a rock in the air and wait for it to start falling back down. Freeze its relative position by locking time around it, while keeping time flowing on the rock. Acceleration due to gravity continues. Eventually, the rock hits terminal velocity while never having moved an inch. Unfreeze world time, rock is now propelling faster than a goddamn bullet.
Keep it going long enough and the rock will have built up enough energy to go nuclear and shift into plasma.
That last bit is more physics speculation because I don't know exactly what would happen if something fell forever.
In Quantum Break you have to just put the controller down and watch.
What you’re watching doesn’t seem too good, either.
But they are skippable. asfaik.
Quantum Leap! Definitely interested now.
you can skip them and they do contribute 50% of the story by explaining the background of the bad guys.Forced TV show on a game? WTF? Gives a new meaning to cinematic cutscenes.
It would be really nice if devs come out and clarify this. Is it optional or not? We're in the age of real-time cutscenes and set pieces.....

"Rubbish" is a term I would use for Alan Wake, so there is a lot Remedeem.sorry
I doubt people would even remember Alan Wake if it was a 3rd party title from a less known dev.
Magic, right?
Which sounds awesome. And was partially demonstrated in the movie interstellar. Of course scale was different but concept similar enough.
Time balls that explode? So, like, grenades?
Having seen it, Im now worried that Quantum Break is a bland-looking shooter interrupted with 20-minute episodes of bad television at the end of every chapter.
Kotaku seems to be on a roll with trolling the XBO and its games.

If Microsoft really believed in the project it wouldn't be XBO exclusive. It would launch on PC the same day. The TV-show would be released leading up to the game and it would be available on Netflix and every other service. Nothing gives me confidence in this, hopefully I'm wrong. I'd love for this to turn out great.
This part I find weird, by that logic Microsoft also do not believe in Halo 5, Forza 6 because they are not in PC.
And why would they do that?
Who cares??? As long as it looks good it could be a pile of shat that explodes. Besides, are we really talking about the "realism" aspect here? Shouldn't we first clarify how Nathan Drake was actually able to survive the first 5 minutes of the latest E3 trailer before we discuss time grenades? Sometimes, things are just supposed to make fun...
So far for me, this is like the Xbox's uncharted. Amazing graphics, but the game looks like 10 other things I've played before.
Although, I say that whist giving MGS a free pass.
MGSV is looking far better then any open-world action game to date, simply by the amount of options. It deserves a pass.
