Joystiq on Quantum Theory: Technically unsound, completely unappealing disaster

If you haven't watched the trailer, please do so. It looks just like Gears of War, but with a Bullet Witch-styIe production. Funny stuff.

Wow,lookalike much :?...Game doesn't even look as good as Gears.

:oops: Oopsie.

That's too bad, really. A shooter that looks like DMC could have been kind of refreshing.

Seriously. Look at the main characters face and animations. Weird, to say the least.

That basically could be gears 3... if it was good. My God, thats one of the most obvious cloning jobs Ive ever seen in videogames.

hmm. Just what the PS3 needs. A game that actually makes Gears of War look good. :?Jandurin

PS3 fanboys need to owe SW an apology for hyping this game to be a GeoW killer.

Even if you didnt do it, you should apologize for those who did.

too bad. this was actually kind of on my radar, but if the control is a mess, i'll pass.

off-topic: jeez, you'd think these guys would start wearing helmets in their line of work.

I never even heard of this game XD

lol quantum

That is just cringeworthy.

i'll stick with uncharted 2

you should have added it's a very early build for a game that has a released date TBA 2010, that could be more than 1 year from now, the game looks cool, i dun know why the hate for the game, it's more like an improved version for GeOW that you like?????

whats so wrong about this game? I see nothing.Leo-Magic

personally, i really don't care if a story in a game is lackluster, as long as its fun to play. but judging from the messy controls and bad framerate, that kind of breaks the deal for me.

Really? I thought it passed on to that 3D Zelda ripoff.

apart from the horrible graphics engine, the models, the game mechanics, the game has a shot lol

[QUOTE="Odrec"][QUOTE="Lto_thaG"] Nothing? Consider yourself lucky.Lto_thaG

Predictable flop is predictable

It's a shame... the PS3 needed a decent third party exclusive (apart from VC and Yakuza 3... thanks Godga :D)

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="Odrec"] I also don't see nothing necesarily bad about it. The only valid criticism from the vids is that it looks very similar to GeoW but the same can be said of Dante's Inferno in comparison with GOW and I don't see so much hate for it.Odrec

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"][QUOTE="Leo-Magic"]whats so wrong about this game? I see nothing.Odrec

Like he said I dont see anything wrong with it except that it looks similar to GeoW.

This game was never on my radar to begin with...and continues not to be.

Could still be pretty decent. Might have a tolerable storyline unlike GeoW.

This looked like an appalling, disgusting disaster from the very start, and I called it as such. But then I reckoned I was being unfair judging it on so little, so early. Recent footage has made it seem less god awful than I was expecting. I of course had extremely low expectations. In any case, it's a step up in my book. I've reconsidered and now think of it as a mediocre, shamelessly derivative ripoff with terrible AI, horrendously nasty visuals and a desperate gimmick.

But there is is one thing.
I'm mildly looking forward to it for the potentially, unintentionally comedic cutscenes and writing.

He's Just Syd.
He has a big red X scar in the middle of his forehead! How great is that?
He's fighting DIABLOSIS! Goddam!
What's this tower doing here? What are you doing here?

And that fantastic moment where Just Syd attempts to express emotions using his face and fails miserably because his face is made out of stone. If that wasn't unintentional it would've been comedic, parodic genius. But in a way I guess it still is.

I so hope there's much more of that kinda stuff. Like giving Just Syd unironic glowing red eyes at some point. If this happens I promise I will buy this game.

They should have just called it Wars of Gear at this point.

The tower. The tower. The tower.

No, Gears story is much more tolerable.

This sounds beyond stupid.

Actually, many Cows have touted this as a AAA game, the game that the PS3 has to take on Gears of War.

It's in many of the Cows 2010 'Year of The PS3' lists as well.

And even earlier today, I quoted a Cow who said MAG was a guarenteed AAA and Quantum had a shot at AAA, And I said he gave me a good laugh.
