I kind of feel sorry for Remedy

When you look back on the year that the XBox One has had, you can't help but feel a little bit sorry for the small army of people coding and making art assets for a game that is for all intents and purposes, doomed not to chart when it comes out.

So many third parties have had to put their games on other systems to try to pull a profit and in the case of Crytek, it seemed that betting on this horse damn there bankrupted them. That can't help but be on your mind while you are pushing 50+ hour work weeks to try to meet a deadline with a game that is now pretty much the last big third party game coming to this troubled system.

It makes me think back to 2006 and 2007 when publishers like Capcom were promising that Devil May Cry will be a PS3 exclusive or when Square Enix boldly posted those videos from Tokyo Game Show proudly touting that FFXIII would be PS3 only. You have to wonder, if at the end of the day, these publishers and developers really will be loyal to a console in the end.

At any rate, I wish Remedy well and best of luck with Quantum Break. They will probably need it. I do look forward to seeing how the game does on PC, though. Just like Sunset Overdrive.

The footage we've seen so far looked incredibly boring and linear.

Evolution my ass, the weak ass time stopping mechanic was devoid of any challenge.

I love how a game being "linear" is somehow grounds on which to dismiss it completely.

Many of the best games in history have been very linear.

Not every game needs to be open world, champ.

they could always bring it to PC, that worked out pretty well for Alan Wake

If QB looked boring what the **** is BloodBourne that's a snoozefest frfr. Qb is going to be great in all sense SO is not coming to pc no time soon.

@silversix_:

bloodbourne open world? lmao we have seen the game its not open world at all matter of face the game is linear as ryse. Soul gam was boring a **** too they only got love because people think they are difficult but they are boring

Agreed. Like God of War or Uncharted2 were open world.

Do you mind showing the facts that the Xbox is selling poorly?

It was one of my favourite stories of last gen. I was ill the week it came out so finished it in several days, parts of it really creeped me out. Played through again a couple more times, which is something i rarely do.

Gotta say, i wished they hadn't bothered with the DLC, i did not enjoy the path the story took after the original ending.

American nightmare, was also unnecessary, definitely a case of "less is more" in my book.

Not much to discuss here TC. It's getting a bit old with the Microsoft bashing.

@cainetao11: yeah, it was fun for a bit, i finished it of course. given what i know now after the DLC, (and lack of closure), i'd have stook with the original ending and happily had they just story left open.

i think the game hints at that in the intro anyway IIRC.

Yeah, okay.
