Quantum Break coming to PC on April 05 - NeoGAF

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/qua...GSS-05-10aaa0b

During a recent press trip where the Windows edition was confirmed, Remedy did not offer any details on the port. It is unclear whether the PC game was developed in-house at the Finnish studio, or if another developer was involved.
 Quantum Break's PC edition is the latest in Microsoft's wider push to expand its games across console and PC. Games currently in development for both platforms includes Gears of War 4, ReCore, Scalebound, and Fable Legends.

 

Why do you keep doing this MS?!?

Quantum Break represents a bold step for Remedy Entertainment and a high profile console exclusive for Microsoft. Having spent several hours playing and re-playing the opening four acts of the game, exploring its time manipulation powers and collecting pieces of its optional storytelling items, I'm certainly more encouraged than I had expected to be. The show offers an interesting take on the trans-media experience, which has not been very well represented in the past, and looks like it could be capable of some smart uses of its central themes. It may have suffered numerous delays during its development but Quantum Break could yet turn out to be worth the long wait.

Lake describes Quantum Break as "Remedy's summer blockbuster movie" and that's definitely what it feels like – a big, slightly silly, sci-fi popcorn flick, with lovely visuals and a neat line in meta-humour (there's a superb Alan Wake easter egg in one of the university lecture theatres). Microsoft clearly called in Remedy because it needed the studio's brilliance with narrative, but in the bid to make a mainstream thriller, the old idiosyncrasies have been ironed out. So far, Joyce seems kind of vanilla, maybe even boring. He's no Wake and he's certainly no Payne – the weird, psychological wonkiness of those guys is gone. And, hey, how about a female lead for a change? It seemed originally that Beth was going to be playable alongside Joyce; there may even have been early plans to have her as the main protagonist – but all that was jettisoned.

Quantum Break seeks to marry the interactivity of games with the passive storytelling of TV shows. It's the culmination of an idea Remedy first flirted with in Max Payne, then again in Alan Wake. Smartly, the Finnish studio has anchored its wild narrative ambitions on third-person shooting that feels empowering and thrilling. Will it be able to pull the whole thing off though? Time will tell.

Quantum Break is going to be an extremely interesting game. The mix of our time spent hands-on with the game and the live-action left us with a good feeling. The long wait and the delay from last year had cooled our expectations, but the preview event rekindled our hopes. It seems that Remedy has used that extra time well and Quantum Break looks like one of the most visually and narratively ambitious video games in a long time. It's a fascinating hybrid of a sci-fi action game and live-action storytelling, but it's almost impossible to gauge how well everything will lock into place by the end. There is also no avoiding that for some people the live-action scenes will feel like an unnecessary gimmick. Remedy seems to know this, but has chosen this route with the intention of breaking new ground in video game storytelling. We can't wait to get our hands on the final game in April.

It's testament to just how much fun that core gameplay is that you'll feel tempted to do so. Remedy may well have failed to reinvent the digital wheel here, but did anyone really want the studio that almost exclusively makes twisted takes on third-person shooters to do so? Behind the bluster, we seem to have a worthy new-gen expansion of Max Payne's core ideals; of gunplay and time manipulation, and pulpy genre fiction - the very stuff that made Remedy famous in the first place. If that's to be Quantum Break's true legacy, I'm more than happy to get behind it.

They spread His word

Even Tim Dog is pissed. Now he's pushing Phil to admit that Gears 4 is coming to PC. It looks like reality has finally started making itself known to them.

He might as well ask if this is going to be the last xbox.

[BasilZero]

This is great news for me.

I'll be able to get this game for my future PC

This was actually one of the few games I had on my Xbox One wishlist.
