Hello, my name is Yves Guillemot, Vivendi S.A.'s Employee of the Month!
It quite literally wouldn't be possible, ever, for any system, to handle destruction like that in complete realtime with reasonable performance, the calculations would likely melt the machine. The impressive part is how they control it as well as the scale of it. It's impressive regardless of the fact that prebaked. The distortion combined with the actual destruction is incredibly impressive. That's what I mean by more dynamic.
so it'll be a AAA cover-based shooter with time mechanics and fancy cutscenes with experienced actors performing a video game script.
If Lance Reddick had been the main character instead of standard white scruffy dude #8742 I might have been interested, and already my expectations are pretty damn low for the narrative of this game since Alan Wake was poorly written and executed in my opinion. The time manipulation mechanics and the celebrity actors are the only things that make the game stands apart for me so far.

Your post comes off as way too overly hostile and negative as well as a bit misinformed and misguided...I don't think Lance Reddick would suddenly make the game narrative better, (especially since he's already a character), not to mention I can't see him pulling off the character Shawn Ashmore is playing at all compared to what they have him doing. Also what's wrong with Shawn Ashmore? It's also not a cover shooter, that's quite literally the opposite of how the game encourages you to play.
I think you misunderstand something the objects dont move. It's just a screen tear effect It's no destruction not prebaked/realtime or whatever.

Some objects do appear to move whenever the player uses that moves. Depending on how close he is. The dash isn't the only thing that causes distortion either.

You're doing a lot of work just to downplay a pretty good marriage between convincing SFX and an interative damage model.
Goddamn the graphics are supersweet. Windows10 only? I don't want to rock the boat by leaving my W7 in fear of some softwares not working properly anymore
Yeah W10 only. Uses DX12.

Small gif bomb:
It annoys me that I can see the obvious polygon edges on the black characters bald head
Let us hope the PC offers some silhouette tessellation for such instances.

I am not that familiar with the actor who plays the lead here, but he does look like Wayne Rooney.
Yes that's right. There are still realtime physics on some objects i think.
But lets end this here, i just answered to your opinion "this is technicaly better or on par with The Order or UC4"

It's all looking great,
My only concern would be game length. Can you tell us how long the game approx is? If you take your time exploring around and all that, how long?

I never mentioned the Order, and yes I still believe that it's on par if not better visually than UC4 with the tech and team behind it.

Here's hoping that those recommended specs stand for "Very High, 60fps 1080p"
Hm? How? I haven't seen much dynamism apart from the exploding shelf (in combat) and the reverse-time sudden box reintegration (out of combat). I have only watched one of the previews though.

Looking great! Love Remedy and Alan Wake was one of my favorite games of last gen. Really looking forward to this.

Really want to pre order this game but am confused about if both best buy and amazon give you alan wake included..I dont see it mentioned on best buys site at all, only if you pre order the digital version(I want the disc version) is it better to just pre order the game on amazon?

I'm not really feeling the cutscene lighting or whatever it is they are doing. It looks a bit too gamey/stylized for my tastes. Hard to explain.
Definitely digging the rest though. Hopefully I'm done with my other games by the time this is out, because I really want to day one this.

Well someone at Remedy has been playing Infamous;Second Son a lot. Dark industrial complexes with orange highlights, lighting streaks following characters, warping between locations quickly. Imitation is the highest for of flattery I guess?
Well they are brothers in the game.
They're meant to be brothers I think.
It's definitely close. I feel as if ND gets a little too much credit sometimes for how good their games look. I wouldn't put them on Crytek's level in terms of pushing tech for instance.

Agreed. No studio has any particular lock on perfection, but you'd swear that no one ever can do anything remotely close to the level of righteous awesome that Naughty Dog can.
It gets old.

True, there is exaggeration on all sides. ND and Remedy are known for pushing visuals and it is clear from this and U4, that hasn't changed. I personally think the looks that both games are going for are so different that it is difficult to compare. The level of detail and lighting we are getting in games is awesome.
Rashbeep: I would definitely put them on a level with Crytek. Even just going through their old games again through the remasters...Uncharted 3 looks very impressive.

Game looking good both visually, and with gameplay. I just hope the story pans out good like Allen Wake.
Glad I pre-ordered back when Amazon had that pre-order deal

The real question still remains though...
Are we going to get some new POTF (Poets of the Fall Music) for QB? There was hints and such with AW and American Nightmare but it's been pretty silent on that front for Quantum Break.

Thanks for that. Sounds interesting.
Maybe GAF isn't my community any longer if my reactions to this is considered hostile. I'm not intending to hurt anyone by stating my gut reaction to the game's marketing. It's just how I feel. Maybe it's too raw or short for some people who are attached to the game?
My issue with the character is that I'm frankly tired of seeing the same type over and over and over again. Same age, same gender, same skin color, probably same sexuality. It's seriously so damn boring that any form of change is a breath of fresh air. It matters to simply have a different main character that isn't some white dude. And of course it makes a huge difference between just being a side character and the main playable character. It would've been much more refreshing to have someone like Reddick be the focal point and playable rather than the same type of white dude I've played a bazillion times before (shit, ALL of Remedy's games centers a white dude)
The focus on white dudes is not a Remedy problem it's an industry problem. But I hear you.

The sound design isn't getting enough love.
This game looks really really off. Looks like it is the animation. Looks terrible actually.
