PS3Home: Quantum Theory Review

"Some promising areas in Quantum Theory have prevented us from rating it as terrible. However, this game is the type that you are going to come across in the bargain bins. It might be worth a play if you can get it for next to nothing. Sadly, this game hasn’t lived up to its expectations."

goty confirmed

[Quagmire]

Heavily Overrated game imo

I sold my PS3 just to buy the game. Now I'm not going to be able to play it :(

[Imperator]

I honestly wonder how many copies this sold? I don't think it could have sold more than 5000.

EDIT: @Neckbear

Ouch... that must really suck for Tecmo. Then again, what the hell were they thinking!

[Neckbear]

According to VGchartz (Yeah yeah, I know.) it sold a grand total of 22,411 copies.

[kaveti6616]

Maybe they made their money back.

It costs about 300 thousand dollars to license the UE3 for commercial purposes. And it looks like Tecmo didn't add many unique assets. This game could have cost a total of one million dollars to make.

That means that, if you do the math, Tecmo could have made back its money on the game and then some.

[Neckbear]

Problem is, you can't really tell how much of the 60$ we pay for a game is profitable, nor can I.

Even so, there's a slight chance that they indeed made some kind of money back, but who knows.

We've seen alot of developers bitching about how expensive making a next-gen game is, we've seen gigant budgets for games that need to sell MILLIONS of copies to even break even- we seriously can't tell how much making a game really is- nor, as I said before, how much of a new game sale is profitable.

[MachinaMaw]

I thought Final Fantasy XIV took GOTY already.

[ChrisW]

Looks like JFPSs are the new thing!

[Sarcasm]

I approve of this entire comment thread.

[Sagetech]

Anyone else notice at the top right hand corner of the review under the Number of players theres a blank space? Guess that means that no one plays it.XD

[Relientk77]

Omg have they even played the actual game. This game fails beyond all belief

4.5 is way to high

way to overrate games PS3Home

[socofsnails]

How do games like this even get made? I mean, when you consider that you need a small army to make a game, you'd think that at some point in the chain of command, someone would realize, "Woah, this is really terrible." Though maybe having so many people is a pitfall of its own: everyone is focused on their specific role, and thus everyone misses the forest for their own little tree.

[Relientk77]

I really dont understand either how they get made. They have game testers don't they? Like don't they have people who play the game before release, and they all apparently liked the game? How?

[socofsnails]

Tester's are in a position where they don't want to say, "It's garbage and you shouldn't publish it." If publishers listen, they're out of a job, if publishers don't listen, they're liable to get fired if they don't provide constructive feedback, even if they know such feedback will be meaningless (because a turd is still a turn no matter how much you polish it).

[HyperBear]

I can see hiphopgamer giving it an 8.5/10 and say that it is GOTY! xD

[UNLOADED]

So This Is The Sequel to Damnation or Wha?

[ticklechamp]

What does GOTY stand for? Is it 'Garbage Of The Year'?

[aaron5829]

whao... a gears of war on PS3 !! and then i realise... man this is one ugly kid only a mother could love.

[Apone]

The better it will become

[Swiftfox]

This is honestly a bad review. Uninformitive at least. They talked nearly nothing, in the way that a 5 year old would desribe a game. "The game is ugly, the weapons aren't cool enough, and the game is a Gears of War rip off." All well and fine but that isn't how you are supposed to inform an audiance about the possitive or negitive short-commings of a title.

They almost should have wrote "Well, the internet said that it was Gears of War, but it's not Gears of War, I like Gears of War better. This game sucks."

Oh wait. They did. "The new third person shooter game Quantum Theory was supposed to be the new Gears of War..."

Regardless of wether or not what they say is true, reviews like this one are unacceptable.
