Images Xbox One

While some people expected to see Alan Wake 2, Remedy and Microsoft revealed an all-new IP. Quantum Break is developed exclusively for Xbox One and "blurs the line between television and gameplay". Get a few images inside, we'll add the trailer once we receive it.

Blurring the line between television and gameplay. Isn't that what Quantic Dream tried to do?

Well, you have to give them credit for bringing out a new IP.
To little is known about this game right now to put this on my "Damn, I wish I had an xbox one to play this game" list.

only good thing shown? they only showed 3 games and forza looked great.

This to me sounds like episodic games (makes sense as they started doing that with Alan Wake), tied to a tv show on their xbox channel(or whatever it'll be). Not sure how well that will work.. hopefully the tv show was made for the game and not the other way around. I liked the alan wake live action shorts they made. I would prefer a full game out of this though as it looks really nice

It's published by MS Game studios so it will remain exclusive.

I just hope its not a shooter....

Forza did nothing for me. The car model was nice but i wasn't impressed overall tbh. Car games look so good now it's hard to impress me much.

eh, I don't like this idea of "bluring" "between TV & gameplay"

Sounds kind of dumb.

Apparently its a TV show which effects the game. MS where just all about the TV shows...*shrugs*

I like how you guys use stock broker buzz-words like IP.

But, seriously is anyone here old enough to remember a game called Sewer Shark? (if you had to look it up, than no you're not)

The TV/Game aspect of this game reminds me of exactly that.

Sewer Shark as in the FMV game? Had it on the 3DO :) When games consoles were GAMES consoles ;)

I really like the look of this, added it to the radar! Hurry up E3! Gonna be a long wait until these consoles and games release but its nice to jump on the hype train once again, been a while :)

Whoah, wasn't expecting a new IP already! What a pleasant surprise, haven't even watched anything about this conference so will look up the trailer for this.

That trailer just told me there's going to be even more FMV in a Remedy game, to which I say FUCK YES!

I was disappointed not to find Alan Wake 2 but this is the only interesting game they showed at the conference. Then again, I don't think I will ever buy this rip-off they call Xbox One. Highly disappointed with MS.

.... and the only new IP they "revealed" - I shiver to think that that's the only one that we will see past e3 2013.

Why is it interesting? I would like to know.

Why do you think it's a rip-off? Also, I don't think I like the direction Microsoft is focusing on the new xbox (and the last years of the Xbox360). I think I will stay on pc this time : )

Here's the clarification on the "tv show" aspect of this game. There is no "TV" show as such that is going on. What is happening is they have filmed and shot something like a TV series, with multiple paths, variations and what not, those will either be included on the disc or provided through online.

Every important decision you make in the game will create a "director's cut" version of the show for you, basically the scenes shown to you while going through the game will change accordingly. Rather than making cutscenes for those parts, they basically decided to film with real actors. And it will play out like a TV series as you go through the game.

That's my take on it from the articles I've read.

Can someone tell me does MS own Remedy? Are do they have a contract binding them to do games for MS...

It's an exclusive (not like it matters, although to some it does), it's a new IP, it's from a fantastic developer with a great track record, and it's the most intriguing looking next gen title I've seen announced so far.

Can't wait to learn more about this game.
