[brazilianbumpincher]

game isnt a patch on gears

[chazjamie]

vanquish would have to satify my 3rd person requirments this holiday. although there are so many games coming out. i cant think of a 3rdp shooter right now thats going to come out any time soon.

back to the game. well, to be honest i was hoping for the tomb raider/uncharted dynamic. Where a similar game, does what the older game could never do or refused to do. For example, gears controls are pretty sluggish, but it still works, in this game its even worse. I was hoping for quicker movements.

I was interested in this game, but now its just a mess. maybe just maybe it should of been scrapped.

[ProjectVulcan]

Huge rip off of Gears. From the playable character and enemy model styles to the environments, the glib battle dialogue, the animation set. Possibly the most blatant copy i have ever seen, utterly shameless. Imagine Gears of war as a proof of concept in about 2004 on Unreal engine 2 before development began in earnest with the new engine and hardware. This is that.....

[talltony]

ITS so garbage! it does nothing right. Complete borefest!

[vickers500]

Gears controls weren't sluggish, just a bit weighty.

[Deputydon]

Ahh. I'm glad I never thought this game looked good.

[Immortal321]

it fails on the behalf of the gameplay. The story looks interesting, the graphics, needs a tune up.

I'll give the demo a 6.

[Aleusia]

I will have to check this out.

[jay2]

woho 360 owners have to wait!

[T9X69]

I'm a 360 owner and I don't have to wait. I own a PS3 also, woho!

[RowSand]

comment failed

[Immortal321]

.

[jay2]

Are the 3 disagrees stupid or something? it's out on PSN now but not 360, now someone tell me how a statment can be disagreed with please?

[despair]

its the fact that you're cheering that some people get the demo before others, I mean everyone should get to suffer through this god awful demo at the same time.

[seann]

yeah check the comments

[jack_burt0n]

@deadface

ppl were getting excited over a game, when the first trailer hit.

Shall we go through all the Forza 3 articles, or better yet the ODST articles claiming it will put KZ2 in its place lol or the endless alan wake articles.

No one is bashing gears whats ur problem, nobody likes clones.

[teedogg80]

Doesn't matter because the game sucks anyway.

[etownone]

Lol

Such a little troll!!

But you got that, me and my 360 have to wait to play what sounds like a crappy demo. :(

[Eiffel]

I think 360 owners got this a long time ago back in 2006, it was also an improved version as well, think it went by the name "Gears Of War" if I'm correct.

Yeah, no go. Tried the demo, it's just not good.

[Poseidon]

this looks just like gears of war lol

[Gue1]

graphics are worse though

[corneliuscrust]

:|

[despair]

and voice acting, boss battle,enemies,weapons,crappy melee,useless AI "co-op" pretty much everything that makes gears great they ruined.

[Soldierone]

Except.....it sucks....lol. I was so excited to play a Gears clone, this is just....horrible.

[ABizzel1]

Clones never beat the original.

[vickers500]

Saint's Row 1 and 2 say hi (both better than GTAIV).

[ABizzel1]

Saint Row is not better than Grand Theft Auto.

Their good games, and fun to play, but their not as good as GTA from a gamplay or story perspective.

[vickers500]

They're better than Grand Theft Auto 4.

[StanRaimondi]

I tried it i think its ok. Imo it will be one of those games i get later when it gets cheaper. To many other games coming out that i want more.

[SiteNblog Defender]

It was terrible. I remember when PS3 fans hyped this as the Gears of War killer.

[fooltheman]

Sony saw it...and said nah to exclusive...

[frankymv]

lol

[Inferno]

Bubbles+ for fooltheman, that's exactly what I thought..

[corneliuscrust]

With their money. They don;t want to waste it on this trash.

[cyber_crysis]

"Sony saw it...and said nah to exclusive..."

hypocrite...

Wasn't this game being held called as a Gears of War "killer?" Now fanboys of ps3 everywhere are acting as if the game was garbage from the get-go rofl. Typical...

[raztad]

@above

Who the fuk was calling THIS game Gears of War killer? never seen something like that around here. Probably just fanboys like you making stuff up.

[Soldierone]

@Cyber

Its a Gears clone, thats all it was said to be. People were excited since Gears is a good game. It sucks, now people say it sucks, would you rather everyone continue to say how great it will be? Rather than coming to senses and saying it sucks?

[AssassinHD]

In order to claim hypocrisy, you have to prove that fooltheman has ever held any opinion about Quantum Theory that contrasts the one he is expressing now. Actually even that would not be hypocrisy. Hypocrisy is feigning a belief or virtue that one does not actually hold.

The fact that you call him a hypocrite, especially without such proof, makes you ignorant.

[gamerzBEreal17]

thats not what happend the dev desided to go multiplat
just saying

[lokiroo420]

What a pathetic comment.

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

Another random Troll.

[scott182]

It's not that epic of a game is it? No pun intended.

[nycredude]

Dude no one hyped this up to be a Gears killer. The only people talking about this game were all the freaking 360 fanboys who when they thought it was exclusive to Ps3 they were crying that it was copying Gears.

BTW IMO Gears 1 and 2 wasn't that great.

[Halochampian]

well actually many people were hyping it to be a Japanese Gears of war. Saying that it would be a Gears of war with better graphics and better story.

I thought it looked kinda blah. But i will give it a whirl when i get a chance.

[Gue1]

What PS3 fanboy hyped this game? Go find me at least a single comment or you're just pulling things out of your arse.

[testerg35]

http://n4g.com/news/212349/...

Some nice ones in there.

[corneliuscrust]

tester :)

for showing that people can't just forget the crap they spew sometimes.

This game was definitely hyped by some gamers as a Gears killer.

[Halochampian]

here is one:

SonyRep

"Gears is going to get owned. Japanese= great game developers like Hideo Kojima, Tetsuya Nomura, Shigueru Miyamoto, etc"

[Coolmanrico]

Thank you testerg35, Is that proof enough Wiimaniac?

[SiteNblog Defender]

http://n4g.com/news/372020/...

http://n4g.com/news/338020/...

http://n4g.com/news/211589/...

Many were hyped because it was exclusive.

[BloodyCHAMP]

hahahaaha sooo funny if you read the comments for the articles, you see ppl sayin another tripple AAAE and how it looks very impressive hahaha as sooon as it went multiplatform everyone turned on the game looooooooooool

[seann]

"When you dont have to compress your game you end up with a high quality product"

People were playing the cell card like it was no tomorrow. calling it triple a as well.

this game was hyped up like it was halo by the ps3 fans. some were cocky and said, hey i am getting an unreal vibe. I say cocky, because they were all so smug about this 'beautiful' game, they ended up nitpicking about nothing (so that the game still ended up the best)

[corneliuscrust]

I guess ppl never learn

[cyber_crysis]

"Go find me at least a single comment"

http://forum.teamxbox.com/s...

http://www.examiner.com/con...

so....

the ps3 fanboy thought they were getting this exlusive, and they acted like they were gettin gears, now its to both 360 n ps3.

[radphil]

Was I the only one that felt it was this sad to even FIND the comments, let alone the generalization that people are saying.

I mean damn....people if a few people say that about the game =/= EVERYONE.

[seann]

people are showing the links, which is a good thing. because as soon as this went multiplat, people started to 'disown' this game. thats why its significant to look at these comments. the praise died, and it was replaced with disapproval.

unlike games like dante-inferno, halo odst.

[outrageous]

WoW...alot of those geeks are still around...Look at the names...man...call it what you will. The best are the guys that say the power of the PS3...Sadly, nothing has changed.

@Wiimaniac...lol...you should of STFU...now look what you did.

[radphil]

@seann

Personally I didn't even care for the game, considering I wait for actual video of the game than trailers, cause a lot of the times they pander up the video to try and rope in as much people as possible.

The demo was just god awful btw. It's as if someone just left it unfinished, and said "hey here's our game!"

That's why you don't fall for hype or count your chickens before they hatch. :p

[raztad]

LMAO@360 dudes

You can fully go through all (TWO years old) articles you posted, and hardly you will find anyone saying game was a Gears killer. Perhaps when QT was announced, and a CGI video was shown, some people got excited looking at the potential of a new exclusive. I dont see anything wrong with. Show something better to support your claim.

[bustamove]

LOL? Who touted this as a Gears of War killer? Just because a few people hyped it doesn't mean that every PS3 fan was touting it as a Gears killer.

Defensive of that Gears of War aren't we?

[Unicron]

I'm too lazy to pull out all the "AW will have best graphics EVAR/UC2 killer!!!" comments made.

*yawn*

Vanquish rocks, no interest in this title.

[TheBand1t]

And I remember when certain individuals were hyping Dante's Inferno as a God of War killer.

How'd that work out for you?

[theonlylolking]

I played it and you pretty much have to move your controllers analog sticks to the edges before your guy moves or aims. That is a bad thing since I use FPS freeks and it takes longer to reach the edges.

Other than that it was a lot like gears of war.

[Poseidon]

better than gears

lol

[nycredude]

I had the same problem when playing Gears 1 and 2, clunky controls. I guess they copied more than just the game, they also copied the clunky controls.

[raztad]

Which is a huge mistake considering smoother implementations are already out.

[OneShotThrill]

I had with Gears..the controls are kinda clunky.They arent the smoothest around. I think gears is just overhyped. A good series but needs better direction...Gears 2 was kinda meh for me...especially the multiplayer. Hopefully Gears 3 will rock

[jack_burt0n]

its awful he even makes gears style effing comments and the running its shameless and worthless CLONE.

and so is that capcom game its a copy and paste of dynasty warriors only koei have the right to copy and paste those :P

that owl game was alright tho lol annoying but at least it was original!

[Kurisu]

Downloading. Don't really like shooters, but I'd like to try it out.

[Baka-akaB]

Never was looking forward to it , i dislike gears' artstyle to begin with , why would i suddenly be in love with a clone that changed none of that and use crappy armor textures ?

[PrinceOfAnger]

tried the demo game so boring.

[franko]

wtf?what a waste of time! I deleted the demo after 2min of play.The worse game i've seen on ps3. not to talk about shameless Gears ripp-off. bad ripp -off.Gears1 was way better than this crap.

[solidworm]

thats the biggest pile of crud ive played this gen...............

[Myst]

Yep still a rental for me.

[Fishy Fingers]

I'll give it a spin, but I aint expecting much. Except maybe a new found appreciation for Gears.

[bartbart]

you know what, that is actually a good point!

bubbles :)

[ThisPlaceSucksBye]

This looked terrible from the get go.

[Keltik82]

Interested in this Clone of Wars. I hope those who have been waiting for this enjoy it though.

[Rampaged Death]

It's one of the worst games I've played. It looks and plays like a last gen game. Have no idea why development carried on for this.

[bartbart]

Exactly what I was thinking

[RIPSKATEDESTROY]

wow!

[corneliuscrust]

Is just terrible. There really isn't anything redeeming about it that I can see, and I loved Gears and Gears2 :(

[DlocDaBudSmoka]

thats all that quantum theory is. I didnt expect much from the game, and well it delivered. avoid at all costs. even the renters out there, rent sumthin else.

[chazjamie]

too be honest, i feel kind of bad for the people who made this game. i ASSUME the sales is going to be on the same level as the quality of this game: terrible.

[SexyPrawns]

Yeah. This game sucks!

[mantisimo]

Can you hang around and comment more I really like prawns and your avatar reminds me to eat.

I was going to download this but have a slow connection at the moment.

Should I honestly try this for myself and make up my own mind or really is it that bad I shouldn't bother?

[SexyPrawns]

I'll try, man.

Bubbles for the prawn love.

I think you should try it. Even though you'll hate it, that's better than lying on your deathbed, wishing you had.

Of course, you'd just come back as a ghost anyway. Unfinished business and all...like Devon Sawa.

[mantisimo]

yeah your right have started the download.

Although I would like to come back and haunt N4G.

[redsquad]

Very bland demo, both visual and play-wise.

[Silly gameAr]

Man, the demo was terrible. I was so disappointed.

[Grimhammer00]

I played it. I actually was hoping it would surprise me.
The end of the demo shows a lot of combos with the chick.
That's what the demo should have concentrated on.
You get to throw her is all the demo allows.

It's got bad textures and non-sensical cover placement. Though I guess you could say it's the tower trying to defend itself. Lame.

I didn't try to adjust sensitivity...but it felt a little too slow.
If it was sold at $39.99 I'd bet it would sell as a ps3 gears alternative. But it's just not good. Animations of enemies seem too fast....though that might be the style the devs wanted. Looks like they just gimped out on frames in the animation. The big guys were better animated though.

I think this was just one of those titles that was too far into development to cancel. They need some kind of return. Sadly, I predict this will sell less than Bionic Commando.

[mikeh0918]

A lot of people didn't like Bionic Commando, but I thought it was pretty fun.

[AllroundGamer]

it sux bigtime, at least they were honest and released a demo so people won't run to stores and buy it :D

[nefertis]

I move the character for two seconds and then I deleted it. Once again a japanese developer trying too cater too the west. Nice try tecmoKoei but I rather u stick with hacking n slash and fighting games, so bring on fist of the north star and trinity zill o soul .

[mikeh0918]

I was not expecting what this game ended up to be. First thing that popped in my head was Gears of War rip off. And I found the graphics kind of distracting. So jagged and the color scheme was just ugly. Also the controls were jumpy, aiming was a real bitch it seemed. As if there was an auto aim, but missed the mark every time. But yea, basically a Gears Clone. Except for throwing your partner which reminded me also of Prince of Persia. Booooo

[achira]

looks the same like geow. this shows only that geow is overhyped, the same way this game is.

[xg-ei8ht]

Never liked the demo at all, and it's not even the graphics, it's the gameplay.

It is so sluggish. and boring.

Yet when u see the trailer, it looks alot more action packed, faster pace etc.

[Neko_Mega]

-_- I like the demo, heck it ran little better than Gears, at least when I hold X (Mean A in 360 controller) he ran and didn't try to take cover when he got close to it.

Game could look better, that doesn't really matter as much as the story and gameplay. I think it kind of suck that you couldn't hold the button down to aim first and then throw the chick.

[drdre74]

game is ass booty. I couldnt even get past the first 3 min. the background textures look like ps2 and the animation was weak. This has to go down as the worst game of the year.

[Karum]

I really really wanted to like this, I've always liked the look of the game and the story behind it seemed very interesting to me.

So I went ahead and grabbed the demo and it's really not very good at all. Like someone else mentioned it isn't even the graphics, it's the gameplay. It just seems very slow and not very responsive at all. The button layout I'm fine with, very easy to get accustomed too but the gameplay just doesn't feel very good at all.

The way the weapons perform kinda suck too. I wanted to give this every chance I really did but based on the demo I will not be picking the game up. For a 3rd person shooter I thought the Vanquish demo was infinitely better and I'd easily buy that before considering Quantum Theory.

[BX81]

The demo was lame! It just seemed like a cheap Gears rip off! Now I know how all the dante's inferno haters felt comparing it to GOW!

[lodossrage]

Vanquish is going to crush this game before anyone even notices it exists.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad game. But I'm sorry with all the other action games out already and with the way Vanquish is turning out, this game is going to have a really hard time finding an audience

[IWentBrokeForGaming]

LMFAO!!!!

[mrmikew2018]

I like the demo, I'm going to give it try. I already accepted the fact that this game is heavily influence by Gears of War, just like Gears of War did when it first came out. I understand if someone doesn't like the game because it's not their type of game, but don't bash because it's similar to another.
