Quantum Theory = Gears of War

Quantum Theory has largely been compared to Gears of War due to its similar style of gameplay. PlayStation LifeStyle got some hands on time with the game during E3 and it seems the game really is a Gears of War rip-off.

Meh, I'll pass on Quantum Theory

Paradicia5069d ago

Same.

Gears as a series has much better characters, artstyle and graphics.

Tempist5069d ago

I disagree. QT knows it's a bad game, so is rolling with it's B movie quality.

Gears thinks its teh sheeeeeeit, and tries to be TEH EPIC at all times. And quite frankly, it suffers from that.

kanetheking5069d ago

Gothic theam but u can never beat the real thing.but never play gears so i pick up qt wen it's cheaper to have a view of why ppl love gears

TheXgamerLive5069d ago (Edited 5069d ago )

but QT's entire existence was to be a Gears of War rip off but much better, atleast that's what the game designers said last year, lol. I don't see it happening but if it atleast offers something different then it'll do fine, but only fine.
Gears of War wears the big pants in this line up.

Chapulin5069d ago

at E3 and it looked and felt horrible.

Exploding enemies into thin air FTL

Spenok5069d ago

Poor mans gears? If im not mistaken, wont this game release at $60? Or are you just saying that the game will suck (another equally irrelavent meaning since you most likely havent played it yet, and there are no reviews saying either if its a good game or not)

The game looked pretty damned good a year and a half ago, tho since it went multiplat the trailers make it look as if it lost some pizaz in the graphics department. Either that or im dreaming things. The game looks like it could be pretty good, guess we'll just have to wait and see.

atticus145069d ago

stupid article, was hoping it would elaborate since it seems to write an article they would have played it more. Instead its about a paragraph of what we have already heard. It might as well read, after you have seen 500 sites also call it a gears of war rip off we are confirming yes it does look like a gears of war rip-off.

I just want to know if its fun or not, Gears is fairly generic on story as well, characters, etc.. but gameplay is is extremely fun and satisfying...if this knock-off can deliver 80% of that and maybe some different multiplayer it could be solid fun as well.

Darrius Cole5069d ago

...The biggest mistake that was made with this game is to make it multi-platform. If this game was still exclusive the PS3 fan would back it up. But now that it is multi-plat nobody cares and nobody comes to defend it.

The most likely facts are..
1)Quantum Theory is most likely a Gears of War clone.
2)It is probably not as good as Gears but still a good game.

The fact is that being a clone of Gears of War is not a bad thing. Gears is 9+ game. There is enough room for a game to be not as good as Gears and yet still be a good game. The gap between 8.0 and 9+ is very big in video game circles. If this game could turn in a Metacritic of 7.9, the fans would call it an 8 and embrace it, IF IT WERE PS3 EXCLUSIVE.

Now, no one cares. This game was buried at E3. If it were PS3 exclusive it would have gotten much more press. It might even have made it to the stage since Sony went out of the way to highlight their exclusives.

No one cares. This topic has been up for 3 hours and has about 30 comments. People have been attacking the game and no one is defending it. If it were PS3 exclusive the PS3 fans would defend it. Because, the fact is, if the game is half as good as Gears then the game actually is worth defending. But this game gets no defense.

Some games should be platform exclusive. Emotional fans of both systems are just that, EMOTIONAL. They'll buy a good a game if it is exclusive but won't buy the same good game if it is multi-plat. Especially if the developers commit the betrayal of moving the game from exclusive to their system to multi-plaform. Those same fans who would have bought the game in droves out of a sense of supporting the team, will aggressively 'not buy' the game in droves, because the game is 'no longer ours. Thus, they won't care.

TruthBTold5069d ago

I see it this way. Quantum Theory is to PS3 as Dante's Inferno is to 360.

But when a game, exclusive or multiplat, is bad no one will buy it. I dont think Dante's Inferno did that well on either system. You do make me consider that maybe if it had been 360 exclusive it would have sold better on the 360 but it still would have not sold more than what the two systems sold together so multi or exclusive, bad games sell bad. Please note though I am only refering to clone games.

SOAD5069d ago

Bad games shouldn't be defended just because they are exclusive.

Too Human sucked.
Haze sucked.

If this game sucked and it was only on PS3, I would be peeved to hear PS3 fans saying it was good.

I'll at least read up on it. Never played Gears of War, so I might as well try.

sweeeeeeeeeeeet
Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this.

Stuart5756111d ago

Every article, console fanboy trite, all these years later. Let me explain it AGAIN, in simple terms for the fanboys. Sentient human gamers do have their preferred platform, however they will buy and own multiple platforms so they can enjoy the games they want to enjoy. I own and have owned multiple platforms, Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft and now Valve, simply to enjoy a wide range of games across a broad spectrum of platforms. It's great. You don't have to pick a 'team' and cheer them on through thick and thin, dissing the other 'team'. And for you 'VenomUK' to state 'Switch and PS5 owners are gonna love this', proves that you're a bit behind. Learn, enjoy, live, develop, trust and coexist if you can, life is better that way.

Blad3runner00111d ago

@Stuart5756
Well said.
This is why i never understand fanboying over hardware. This is not like a sports team, its just hardware. Why some people have this mentality to pick a side and stick with it and refuse to look at other platforms, therefore depriving themselves of games that are only available on those platforms. They are suppose to be gamers after all?

FinalFantasyFanatic111d ago

It's practically guaranteed to come to PC as well, if that's the case, I might pick it up after it gets a discount or two.

TheEroica111d ago (Edited 111d ago )

Thank goodness for pro gamer companies like Microsoft.... It's about time we unified platforms where now only corporate suits benefit! Pro gamers all the way. Thanks Microsoft!

RaidenBlack112d ago

Yup ... bring Gears 2, 3 Judgement as well as Fable II and Halo 5 to PC

phoenixwing112d ago

Online portions would be a bonus.

FinalFantasyFanatic111d ago

I'm really shocked that Halo 5 still isn't on PC yet, almost everything is ported over and that's the only Halo game that hasn't been ported.

Profchaos112d ago

Take it with a grain of salt this leaker has been wrong many Times

The connection has been rumoured in the past so there's some credibility but it's more if it's actually in testing or not

Father__Merrin112d ago

tell u what gears 3 on series x same 360 game but in 4k and 60fps is a dream it looks crystal clear

Sciurus_vulgaris112d ago

The Series X enhanced versions of Gears 3 and Judgement can at times look like Xbox One titles.

Concertoine111d ago

Yeah i got into Gears 3 multiplayer last year. People still play it a lot. Tons of maps and looks great with the 60 FPS.

Brazz112d ago

It would be funny to see Gears of War collection on Nintendo Switch.

I'll Be Happy With Anything Gears of War, But Nothing Beats A 1-3 Remaster

Huzaifah from eXputer "With a new Gears of War game possible, I'll go ahead and say that the original trilogy was the peak of the series and should get remastered."

Wyesvin116d ago

I wish they would put 2 and 3 on pc

RaidenBlack116d ago

^ this
and judgement as well
Why not Remaster them and release them as Marcus Fenix Collection for PC and Series

phoenixwing116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

I would buy it. I sh1t on microsoft alot but their gears of War series I loved. Some great gameplay and if they would keep up the multiplayer I'd play that too.

CrimsonWing69116d ago

1-3 are incredible with each one being bigger and better than the last. I don’t know what it is, but 4 was super underwhelming to me and 5 was slightly better than 4, but I didn’t feel the same epic feeling I had when going through 1-3. I hope 6 brings that epicness back, but yea like a full remake of 1-3 with current-gen visuals would be *chef’s kiss*.

ocelot07116d ago

I was actually devastated with Gears 1 Remaster on Xbox and PC. From when the OG released in 2006 right up until Gears 2 released a few years later. Me and a small group of friends would play it almost daily.

When the remaster arrived. It was annoying that they changed the way you could find a create games. The PC version was dead on arrival as it didn't release on steam just the crappy windows store so about 7 people (including me) bought it. I think I managed to find about 5 games in the first week of release. After that it was just a ghost town.

Not sure about Xbox version. Didn't actually try it until I got a series s in late 2022. It was completely dead online.

chicken_in_the_corn116d ago

A new game would be best. I don't understand why gamers want to rebuy old games over something new.

Juiceid116d ago

It an excuse to revisit something you loved a long time, and it’s prettier and shinier!

raWfodog116d ago

Yeah, new game is always better in my book but remake/remaster is definitely a good runner-up.

franwex116d ago (Edited 116d ago )

Agreed. The old games are there anyway.

I went back and played them all again in anticipation of Gears 5 with a friend and they hold up really well. In fact, they were more fun than the recent ones in some ways.

neutralgamer1992116d ago

we need all gears of war games on steam please
