New Quantum Break Impressions & Previews

It is the best close up picture on gamersyde.

Can you link anything better?

Edit: Not that I think UC4 doesn't come close. Quality wise the models seem very similar (though I have the impression QB dedicates more polys to the chars clothes), though QB has definitely a more realistic look going on.

QB also has an incredible lighting model, which imo gives their overall look a huge boost.

I think this game is the closest i've seen a game to emulating life visually. There have been legit moments where i've had to do a double take because of the way the characters react to lighting, even with the heavy compression of youtube.

Yeah that's what impresses me so much. The lighting is incredible. My jaw was on the floor more than once.
 
This looks amazing and very close to real life scene. But they are two different games with different art style, i wouldn't compare them, because both games look great.

Yeah, definitely. And I kind of think QB is cheating for using look a like models from the actors. They probably scanned then and got all the minor details right, whilst in uncharted you can see right away it's not a real person, but rather something modelled.

That is most definetly better than the QB screen I have linked. That said, there's more compression in your image.

I guess the case can be argued on both sides, they're both visually incredible.

I need my Alan Wake sequel that looks like this, fuck.

I swear if I had the money I would just throw it to Sam Lake and ask him for it.

But Uncharted has heavy usage of physics elements in game. Those who watched NX Gamer analysis know. And also, Nathan Drake is more realistic in cut-scenes. Does Aiden has chin/skin deformation? Nah, probably not.

Another question: Does the game support the Impulse Triggers of the Xbox Controller? If that's the case, when do they come in action?
 
I vote for QB just because I can't stand New Nathan Drake's design. Gimme some lady closeups from both games for a better comparison. Definitely prefer the lighting in QB though.

Something about bullet projectiles really gets me. Max Payne, SuperHOT, where you get to see the trajectory all the way is fascinating.

This game goes all out on particle FX.

Love that shoulder bash to shotgun combo.

WOW. This game is just awesome.

It looked sharp at first but I kept looking and realized there's almost no detail in that face model
 
Cool to see Microsoft pushing behind this one, particularly after Alan Wake was sent out with extremely little marketing (in the US at least).

This isn't how it looks during gameplay though. I definitely did not see this in the gameplay videos. But the same probably goes for U4 as well during gameplay.

I won't keep it for very long, but I had to after QB went to PC day and date.
He definitely proved me wrong, I have to admit it.

Define "easy" in this context.
Screen tear? Because they said it's been since fixed.
Also, nice avatar!


Nice avatar to you as well!

By "easy" I meant it does not look insane at all graphically speaking, not something like "wow I can't believe they got that running on console!".
It certainly looks good but nothing mind-blowing to me, should be a good base to build up from.

Hyped for the PC version with DX12.

Edit : I really dig the art though and the "dash" looks nice.

I can't really tell how it compares to Uncharted 4 since I've not followed this game, but knowing Naughty God plus the fact that the PS4 is more capable, it should in theory be technologically more lavish.

Cutscenes are real time in this game. And you can't expect models to look the same during gameplay and cutscenes.

Looks amazing. Only things I thought looked weird was his jacket filling up with air when running around, which seems like something they'll fix and I don't like the animation for when he starts and stops moving, it just looks weird to me.

I immediately noticed that too watching the gameplay vids. Jack's undershirt also seems to be clipping through his jacket. Hopefully this gets fixed before final release. :)

There are a few animation oddities. Another evident case is shooting from cover.

One of the PR guys tweeted about the jacket physics being broken in the demo but they have fixed them since

You realize that's a jpg right?

We can see them making expressions that're pushed very far in these videos. As well as the physics reacting to his powers. I don't think you know what skin deformation means...

You're being a bit transparent.

I watched one of the videos in the intro that ends with Paul facing the camera and while he does have more facial features, it doesn't look like they emphasize them for some reason. They are very light and hard to notice for my eyes, maybe its a style choice.

My interest in Quantum Break just fucking skyrocketed after those gifs.

It's like an entire game molded around the Mass Effect Vanguard.
