Do you like living, mutating towers of evil? Quantum Theory is right up your alley. Game director Makoto Shibata recently talked to G4TV about the story and mechanics of Tecmo's new shooter.

not anymore.....reasons are

am predicting story will be short...

it all takes place around or inside a tower...

looks too much like GeoW w/female..

basic run and gun game, nothing more!

[Rigmaster]

LOL!

Gears of War??? You mean that crappy ripoff of Kill.Switch?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Yes, Quantum Theory is very similar to Kill.Switch. Thank god it isn't using that hideously outdated Unreal Engine.

[Serjikal_Strike]

I said it (LOOKS) too much like GeoW....

I didn't say it (PLAYS) like GeoW...

I was refering to the bulky barbarian look of the character and graphics...now are you goin to tell me some other game had that look first?

[peowpeow]

I guess Uncharted is too right? No wait, it's on PS3 it can't be.

Now watch the disagrees fly in

[SOAD]

Rigmaster is a troll. I can't believe he has four bubbles. I will gladly drop down to three bubbles if he gets dropped down to one.

"I was refering to the bulky barbarian look of the character and graphics...now are you goin to tell me some other game had that look first?"

I like Gears of War, but if you're talking about having "looks" for games first the characters of Gears are a mix between Warhammer 40k with a slight artistic influence from H.R. Giger.

Quantum has the same thing with a heavier Giger spin like a lot of Japanese-made games do. (Contra, last stage, Life Force, for starters). Giger got his inspiration from Francis Bacon and his Triptych art style, although Giger's invocation of the style is more in the repetitive themes in his artwork instead of three representations of a subject as a whole art piece.

Yes, I also game on PC. :P

sold out

[Dragun619]

I think all hype fell for this title because it wasn't a PS3 Exclusive anymore. SDF didn't want to defend this title and People keep calling it a Gears of War rip off. I really doubt this game will sell even if it's actually a decent game.

[Kalowest]

GeoWs rip-off, by no means do i have problems with rip-offs as long as their good, but this one just looks crappy.

[Rigmaster]

LOL!

Trying to call a game a ripoff of a game, Gears of War, that was nothing more than a shameless ripoff of Kill.switch...

[Kalowest]

No really, Kill.Switch was a great game, i know GeoW took the concept, ran with it and added improvements, but this game is a whole different story,

[bacano]

What's your problem with GeOW ?! Oh, I see. It's 360 exclusive.

[CountDracula]

This game will probably suck.

[BubbRubb]

looks awesome. i've never played a gears of war mod before.

[BiggCMan]

i like the idea of the evolving tower personally. i just dont like the fact that its like gears of war. i dont like gears of war, rather boring. horde is decent though.

[madpuppy]

of gears I think it will be interesting. I really don't understand why everyone has to be so angry towards a game? I think that the real black eye in this game will be the voice acting, I really don't understand why Japanese developers don't hire writers and actors that can bring out the character and dialog properly.

[BiggCMan]

japanese developers?? umm, mgs series. final fantasy series. resident evil. many many japanese games have amazing voice acting. its many american games that have terrible voice acting.

[guzman]

You're right madpuppy, Japanese games need more oiled up, buff spacemarines eating Big Macs and chugging Mountain Dew while blasting generic Xenomorphs, while Nickelback blares in the background. Why can't the Japanese understand that??

[madpuppy]

While I was commenting on dialog and voice acting all you could think about was "oiled up, buff space marines" or is it that you are hiding your lust for the Japanese habit of parading scantily clad pre-teen girls and boys as the main protagonists of most of their games?

[Chapulin]

Did not like one bit. This was a game I was really hoping it would be better or as good as GoW. Controls felt broken and graphics looked bland. It was my biggest disappointment of E3.

[InfamousHero]

Once this lost exclusiveness everyone stopped caring. Xbox 360 owners don't need another Gears of War and PS3 owners don't want a shitty multiplatform version.

[Mr Exclusive]

Pretty much.

Everybody thinks multiplatform = more sales. But this game is going to prove the opposite.
