Gamescom 2015: ‘Quantum Break’ Looks Amazing, And That’s Before Shawn Ashmore Is On Screen!

It’s been a long time coming, but Remedy’s next game, Quantum Break, finally received some game play footage at Gamescom 2015. Originally revealed alongside the Xbox One itself, information on the upcoming exclusive from the team behind Max Payne and Alan Wake was hard to come by aside from a few trailers. Now that it’s finally been shown, it’s safe to say that they were hard at work, attempting to blur the line between television and video games to create an action packed cinematic experience.

Quantum Break is split into two halves. The primary section of the game is a third person shooter, allowing the team to use their much lauded time manipulating abilities to take advantage of the field, (and their enemies.) When stages are completed, full episodes of what are supposed to act as a TV show play, expanding on the world, story and characters. Bringing in a star studded cast led by Shawn Ashmore, Dominic Monaghan and Aidan Gillen amongst others, it’s clear that the team is taking this portion of the game seriously. But as hit or miss as games with a cinematic focus have been as of late, should we?

Still, Remedy has a near spotless track record, and after so much time has passed since their last game was released, I can’t help but be excited for their next endeavor, (not to mention the action looks fast paced and creative.) But enough about me, you be the judge! Tell us what your impressions are, and keep an eye out as Quantum Break approaches its late 2015 release.
