Wired: Hands On: Quantum Theory Doesn't Demo Well
66
Daniel Feit Writes:
Indeed, at first glance it's an extremely similar take on Gears of War: The title character Syd is a burly man wearing heavy armor and carrying a gun larger than the average Rottweiler. What makes things different and oh-so-Japanese is the presence of his partner, a lithe female named Filena who carries a petite handgun but makes up for it by being magical. She also sports a sword for powerful close-quarters combat. Although capable of independent action, she can be summoned at will and thrown across the room like a javelin. The two characters also have a "combination attack" that is potentially quite devastating.

Honestly, this game isn't even on my radar. After playing the Lost Planet 2 demo on PSN, its lookin to be the best co-op shooter ever, next to Left 4 Dead of course.
But really, coming from a PS3 owner, it doesn't look good.

A little bit too much analysis over this early demo.
"Why is the AI stupid??", it's something that can always be worked on. Some games like to still ship with dumb AI, but hey..that gets ignored depending on how fun the game is.
"Why is the turret still shooting me when I'm behind cover?? Why am I shooting back at them??? What's going on??? Why is there random violence???"
Dude, since there was a staff guy standing right there telling you what to do in the demo, why didn't you ask him this stuff? Oh..because he would've said "it's a demo, it's not the full game yet so be patient and wait for the full game". But that would've been too easy.

I get what you're trying to do, Ghostie, but to be honest it comes off a little strange. Anyway, Quantum Theory will most likely not be part of my growing PS3 library. The art design and what little gameplay they've shown are simply too generic to be interesting.

1.19 - Wired has lost their significance years ago
They are out of touch with the current household and the ability to understand that many, many gamers own both an Xbox 360 AND a PS3. Or a variation of the older and newer consoles.
Wired = irrelevant so they make up some BS about something in order to spark controversy and free exposure of their crap mag.

The scale of the environments and, more importantly, the possibility of a co-op campaign, looks promising. Looking forward to more information.

It's okay that the PS3 doesn't have Gears. Do like me and buy Uncharted 2 in two weeks. Just don't bank on Quantum being awesome. Maybe Tecmo will prove me wrong, but from the footage so far, they've got a lot of work ahead of them if this game is to be anything but average.

8.3 - I say this based on the videos I have seen of this game...
Tecmo is certainly not taking advantage of PS3 hardware from what I've seen. True PS3 exclusives always have that "touch" to them that tell you "yeah, this can't be done on 360", and I don't get that instinct from this game at all.I agree that this is certainly "inspired" by Gears, so yeah it would get noticed more as a PS3 exclusive, but it would also port easily to 360 and still sell well since it is a shooter and we all know that's all the 360 fanbase ever plays.
So 1) Tecmo has a very low budget and won't be able to do anything technically fancy or 2) They plan on doing a quick and dirty port to 360.
Maybe there will be some videos later in the future that change my mind, but for now that is how I stand.

Veneno.
My sentiments exactly. This game went from "meh" to "OOhh pretty cool" to "meh" again after the recent videos.
I don't know... for some reason it's just lacking a sense of polish that's in other real PS3 exclusives. It doesn't look complete.
I also don't like how the enemy characters explode into bits and disappear into thin air. I prefer Gears where you shoot down a guy and there's a big heavy bulk of meat lying dead.
Oh well, I'm going to guess this game will receive a 6/10, 7/10 and maybe the highest an 8/10 once the reviews roll in.

I'm more keen on the architecture and Escher-like feel to what I saw in earlier demos. If I can shoot and kill things with big guns in a neat-looking environment, then I'll give the game a shot. (And apart from the environment, the same criteria also apply to Gears. "Pretty" and "obnoxious" and fun as hell, I'm told.)
I don't have to marry a game to get what I want out of it. I certainly don't think people enjoyed Gears on the basis of it's conversational abilities.

Yeah.. Gears 2 kinda sucked, only that it didn't provide the graphical leap many had hoped for. The campaign was fun, and since I don't have Xbox Live GOLD (got free gold'still haven't used it, though) no online play, but I have played Horde Mode on a friends Live account.
While fun, it was too damned laggy.

A shameless copy if I ever saw one.
And Saaak, Forza is a racing sim, as is GT5, its a racing sim, it really vary that much..
Quantum and Gears on the other hand are third person shooters, the variation in that is insane, and how much this game looks like a cheap clone of Gears is insane.
