Darkworldgaming final verdict: Remedy Games has often been described as Microsofts version of what Naughty Dog is to Sony. A tough act. Quantum Break originally was shown over 2 years ago as a trailer for the Xbox One launch (May 2013). Remedy has delivered a truly unique experience in merging 2 media types with gaming and TV and surprisingly done a fantastic job with it, It shouldn’t have worked, but it has. The time manipulation abilities are good and certainly impressive, with the effect of stutters leaving everyone frozen the first time will have you walking around looking at the frozen environment in awe. The environments are beautiful, I’m a massive fan of sunbursts and how they are implemented – The Last of Us done this well, this game is up alongside it, the time lapse areas look stunning, when you see this for the first time you will be trying to get the closest person to come and check it out.
While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well

I think Inscryption is the best game on that list. PT and Returnal i would offer. Returnal deserves a spot over some of the listed games. Especially after chapter 3. Maybe even Alice MR? Death Stranding? Kojima all together. To much smaller degree Dead Space. I'm spitballing.
I didn't play Thumper enough to see beyond the visual spectacle. Curious choice.
Only makes me think of gatcha loot crate game specifically built to play your mind into becoming an addict.
"Remedy Games has often been described as Microsofts version of what Naughty Dog is to Sony"
Ok, I can't speak for anyone else, but I damn sure don't remember Remedy often being seen as Microsoft's version of Naughty Dog.
Not to mention before we even make such a comparison, Remedy would have to be owned by MS.
I'm guessing in the sense that Alan Wake and Quantum Break have both been Xbox Only? Either way I understand the comparison although Naughty Dog has the upper hand in the comparison.
"Remedy Games has often been described as Microsofts version of what Naughty Dog is to Sony"
A LITE version? Remedy's body of work over the 20 years that they've been shipping games doesn't compare to even half of Naughty Dog's output in the same time frame. They've shipped 4 full games in the same time as ND has shipped almost 10 full games to greater acclaim, so they're also more efficient. As much as Max Payne and its sequel are two of my favourite games of all time, Naughty Dog and Rockstar Games are of emperor status in the VG developer world. You don't see Naughty Dog visiting Remedy studio for inspiration, but the other way round is a must. Remedy doesn't have the technical or artistic chops to compete with them, so I don't see where this author is coming from.

"this game feels a little lethargic in its movement"
Yeah I noticed that in previews and the final game looks no different.
This is 2016, how can animations and movement be so poor?
From what I saw when they were live streaming it, the game looks half decent. The movement did look a little clunky, considering recent releases you'd think they would want to address that early on. But then it may increase screen tearing and from DFs latest video that appears to be an issue already even at 720p / 30 fps
Although I'm waiting for the PC version. I don't own an Xbox. It's actually more dissapointing that nothing has been mentioned on the PC version other then a code will be sent after launch - Which sucks.
