TGS 08: Quantum Theory confirmed as PS3 exclusive

Joystiq writes: "Out of all the possible answers relating to platform exclusivity inquiries, a simple "yes" is easily the most difficult one to extract. This did not prove to be the case with Tecmo's Makoto Shibata, however, who calmly assured us that Tecmo's upcoming third-person shooter, the cryptically named Quantum Theory, is indeed exclusive to the PlayStation 3.

The Team Tachyon director, who candidly described the game as Japan's answer to titles like Gears of War, is sticking to the predominantly Western genre's "basics," while making sure that his country's "skills and talent are incorporated." You'll note that the game's art employs a more expanded color palette, though not at the expense of unfeasibly enormous biceps. The traditional, post-apocalyptic environment is augmented here by a striking "living tower," a labyrinthine structure that the game's protagonist and his occasional female foil must traverse and ultimately defeat."

...a badass name for a game.

I hope this game turns out good.......

Peter Griffin5678d ago

im not listening to these "exclusivity" claims anymore

DarkArcani5678d ago

Unless it is made by a Sony studio, those exclusive words are just that, words. Words that other companies can buy.

Bonsai12145678d ago

it is a BA name. but i see what he did there.. the basics of the gears while incorporating skills and talent.

hay5678d ago

The game needs a bit shader love, some antialiasing, fun and addictive gameplay and it'll, how they say it: "kick ass".

But it resembles me a bit Lineage 2 with guns. Dunno, maybe it's me.

badz1495678d ago

for this game might change but I'll give them a little bit of my trust because Tecmo at least made NG sigma! and Sigma turned out to be better than even NGII! so, I think we can expect a little bit more from Tecmo for Quantum Theory and hope it turns out yet another great PS3 exclusive!

marinelife95678d ago

If the multiplayer is more than 4 vs 4 or 5 vs 5 then I'm sold.

airheadluffy5677d ago

this is a great strategy for tecmo by making it ps3 exclusive. this will definitely make them more money by saying its ps3 exclusive and then MS will offer them money to make it multiplat with exclusive DLC on 360.

Tidus115677d ago (Edited 5677d ago )

Why would they make this game for xbox 360... no ones gonna buy the copycat(Quantam Theory) when they can buy the orignal(Gears of War) ... saying that i am curious to see how they do.

Silogon5678d ago

Was any gameplay shown off or was it just the Cg trailer?

MvmntInGrn5678d ago

If that is a real shot then there is some geometry issues, quite bland, Detail is decent.

A good few new PS3 titles were shown but many look quite early in development. Fine since 09 is quite packed already, these are late 09 (early 2010) games.

gambare5678d ago (Edited 5678d ago )

if you call that with geometry issues, quite bland and decent details to something that is graphically more rich, colorful and artistic than gears of wars 2, I don't wanna know how ugly gears of wars 2 must be to your eyes.

the image put by fufotrufo was the "worst" one

before you ask silogon, I don't disagree neither agree with any comment, I can post a disconformism but just that.

Silogon5678d ago

wt the hell is the disagree for? I asked a question, how does that warrent a disagree? How the hell can you disagree with a question?

It's like saying "Can I have some milk?" and you saying "no, I disagree with you"

how lame is that? Anyways, if that pics is real time it still needs a bit of work. It's not Gears quality yet. Close, but not yet. I also wish they'd leave the big guys at home for once. I want an average joe in a game, ya know? Someone like Harry from Silent Hill or Drake from Uncharted. We need more of those people so we can relate to them better.

Thank you.

@fufotrufo: Ditto

Every battle royale and soulslike. Every cartoony live service game with dancing

Nah most of the Soulslike games turned out pretty good. Probably the only one I didn't much like was Immortal Unchained.

I don't care what this guy think after he called Way of The Samurai 3 an awful game.

Bigpappy3828d ago

with Quantum Theory, I played the demo and was not impressed. I felt like they were trying to mix Gear of War with Lost Planet, and didn't do either very well. May be someone who never played either would have a blast with it though.

fOrlOnhOpe573828d ago

Yeah, I played the demo too but couldn't finish it....the thought of therapy was too much lol

SyphonELITE3828d ago

damn, i never even heard of this game til now

Yui_Suzumiya3828d ago

I followed this game forever until I finally came out. I got it and loved every bit of it. Originally supposed to be a PS3 exclusive. It got horrible reviews and I didn't understand any of them. They must've been playing a different game then me!

Spore_7773827d ago

Never played it, never will -_-
