Quantum Theory uses tech from Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Tecmo's upcoming PS3-exclusive shooter, Quantum Theory, isn't made by the notorious Team Ninja studio. However, why should developers Team Tachyon relearn a system that their peers have already mastered? The technology is owned by Tecmo, so why not share resources?

[sinncross]

i dunno, this doesn't strike me as a very good looking title, especially not sigma levels. maybe they've only shown us older builds.

[MAR-TYR-DOM]

but after haze and too human, i really dont want to hype up a game that has seen no gameplay and is not from an "amazing" developing studio. I always find myself rooting for 'small' games like this only to see them become hyped up and fall short of expectations.

[Gue1]

The funny thing is that all the videos we have seen of the game are CGI and they look bad. lol

[Beast_Master]

Well Too Human and Haze were not terrible games in the eyes of many people (See G4's Adam Sessler who added it to the holiday gift guide on X-Play). But this is not a western developer which means I will give them the benefit of the doubt until the game is released or we see more on the game.

[Cwalat]

well, we have seen zero.. zilch..

so no way we can start judging now..

but didn't NG Sigma do 1080p 60fps... that is not a bad merit to have... also, if they pull this off well... and don't do just Gears copy.. i think it has potential...

will gladly have this under my radar.

[rroded]

Still if they get it close and the gameplays tight ill buy it loved gears woulda been a perfect ten for me without the glitches.

[BRACHATTACK]

Is this the GeoW copy? I'm glad its noy using the Unreal engine, i hate it! If used properly, this game will beat Gears.

[INehalemEXI]

I don't know about this game , but Sigma was butter aside from it being a last gen game upgraded to this gen.

The chick in this game is kinda cool.

[jcfilth]

At least we now know the game will look good, next, gameplay.

[Gue1]

so we can expect another 1080p 60fps game? How many game the X360 has that run at that quality?

[El_Colombiano]

It wasn't native 1080p. Upscaled. Sadly.

[Mc187]

But it was a great game, kinda hard too.

[Gue1]

what? I thought it was 1080p... that was one of the main selling points of the game, that it was 1080p running at 60fps like GT5:P.

my bad then. I did a search and is true, NGS runs at 720p but I found that Ninja Gaiden II runs at 585p. So my point is still valid, at least a little. =)

[ultimolu]

...I'm skeptical about this one. :o

[RememberThe357]

I think we all are.

[Mc187]

It is built on the sigma engine (or whatever they call it) i think I will at least keep an eye on it . Besides I like new IP's that's my favorite part about the PS brand

[No]

Flop Flop Flop Flop Flop.

[geda]

you're not gonna try a little harder than that?

[digger18]

Geda, he can't try any harder, because he's a dumb fu@k.

Lol, PP sorry I mean No, you only joined today and your bubbles are already down to three.

[Nathan Drake]

I'm pretty sure the screenshots released aren't from the latest build of the game

[heyheyhey]

this will be PS3's FOTY 2009.... so let's not hype it up, because it honestly looks like an average shooter

i have no idea why Sony pursued securing this as exclusive

[AriesFury]

I want to see gameplay before I judge this game, good or bad

[xg-ei8ht]

I think this game is way way off, so i wouldn't even worry about it now.

As always, textures,even shaders are used as place holders till other things are sorted and then things are replaced.

Remember Motorstorm PR, looked so much better after a couple of months, same thing with killzone 2, got better and better everytime i saw it.

Same thing will happen with god of war 3, etc.

Good things take time.

Now gimme that uncharted 2 now dammit, I want it.

[Aclay]

I'm a little iffy right now about this game, but I think it has potential if pulled off right. But, one thing that I do like about the game from what I've seen is the Art direction and I really love it.

With more and more Japanese developers trying to go "Western", I really hope that they can create interest in Westernized games in Japan, because then Shooters like Killzone 2 or Gears would start getting the attention they deserve in the Far East.

[No]

I blame the jealous droids for reducing my bubbles to 3 i just don't understand what i've done wrong when i give a honest opinion.

[panasonic23]

just make another account that what all the droids do

[Graphics Whore]

Maybe you could hold each others hands and make accounts together, make it a date ;).

[man0fsteel]

i wish Tecmo the best at hopefully making a successful game out of this...

But I do have one suggestion, they need to fix the main character's face. he freaks me out

[Kratos19]

This won't be the best game ever, but at least it isn't on the Xbox 360.

[OGharryjoysticks]

Every comment above would be different

[Halochampian]

No it wouldnt be.

Their is no gameplay shown at all. Now since it is using a good engine, it will probably look nice but the gameplay is what everyone is skeptical about.

But maybe you are right, if it was a 360 exclusive, it would be getting bashed... a lot.

[man0fsteel]

EDIT: wait what are you actually referring to?

[OGharryjoysticks]

Just an observation. As usual, the console that gets the exclusive defends it while the other side bashes. It will never change.

[Halochampian]

Actually, not many people are defending it. most people know that there has been NO gameplay and cant base a solid opinion of the game.

Many ps3 owners are "spectacle" of the game.

[RebornSpy]

Do you mean "skeptical"? I'm not sure what you're saying..

But it is indeed hard to form a solid opinion of a game without actually seeing gameplay.

[Halochampian]

I did mean skeptical.

[Cajun Chicken]

'Gears of Dead Alter Echo Alive Gaiden'

EDIT: I'd personally trade this exclusivity for The Maw.

[cmrbe]

Temco is a good publisher. I am sure this game would be at least good since they should be improving from Sigma which was pretty dam good.

What really interest me is the fact that its a shooter from JP and a PS3 exclusive which means they will be focusing solely on the PS3 for this game.

These are old screens anyway.

[Contra26]

this game will fail.

[Karum]

To me it seems promising and has some potential.

Looking forward to seeing more of it in future but won't be thinking about it much until more info is out there.

[Cajun Chicken]

I want Data-Fly. Sounds like the transforming concept of 'Prototype' a bit, eh?

[RPG Guy]

like it has some potential....BUT, it's probably nothing for PS3 owners to jump for joy about...

let's all remember Haze shall we?

That said, if this game could, say, deliver 3rd party PS3 exclusive (or, in the case of my coming example, timed) support like Lost Planet did for the 360, that would be awesome! We'll see...

[Athlon]

Honestly, I'd prefer another DOA to this title.

[Mad_Rhetoric]

NG sigma is one of the best and best looking ps3 games. This on the other hand looks weird. I guess this is what happens when your most talented dev.
