Quantum Theory Gameplay Trailer

That was 3:30 seconds too long...
Seriously, how can Tecmo's design standard have gotten WORSE since Itagaki left the company?

This game has the best wiki I have ever seen.

 "Take cover and shoot down the enemy in this action shooter from Tecmo."


 Someone got some well deserved points for that shit...

I like how the guy doesn't even turn his head in the direction of his gun when he's blind firing. Just to add that extra level of stupid.

It looks like they just took the jumping, cover and shooting animations from gears, then made it look not great. The guys just explode, no gib? I was actually shocked for the first 20 seconds at just how similar the animations were to GoW.

For some reason some of the scenarios remind me of MDK...?
But anyway, this looks really generic.... and bad.
 
And JUST like GoW....

Holy shit, my eyes have actually melted from the bad textures. I'm not one for complaining about graphics but that was beyond awful. My expectations aren't very high for graphics, since I'm here for the gameplay, but I'm the first to admit that great graphics definitely help immersion and just look fucking awesome. 
 
In this case, it actually looks game breaking. Desaturated, awful textures, damn right bad animations, horrible lighting, horrible HUD, horrible jaggies, rubbish death animation (or distinct lack of one), rubbish gore, blood and headshots, rolling looks ridiculous, boss like characters require 2 rolls and a few bullets, guns look generic, main character looks generic, armour looks generic... 
 
Urgh. Not even slightly bit interested in this. I'd rather they just did what Dantes Inferno does with God of War, because I do not have a 360 and would like to play Gears of War, or a blatant rip-off.

Wow, I've gone from not having heard about a game to not caring about a game in about 30 seconds, that's gotta be some kind of record.

The one thing that irks me the most is that every enemy seems to just explode into nothingness.
 
That might be okay if they left pieces and stuff behind (like being hit by a rocket in some games), but I like leaving bodies in my wake with these types of games, just how I like it when there are destroyed buildings and vehicles in RTS games that stay destroyed.
 
Company Of Heroes is the best example...tank remains don't disappear and you can actually use them as new cover by infantry.

"So what if we made Gears of War whilst trying to make it appealing to the Japanese market? Also, tone down the good." 
or 
"Shooters are popular in america right? Let's make our own one, but with a distinct japanese flavor. Also, tone down the good
 
I bet it's one of those.

Some devs came by and gave me a girl
And they said, "It's a female partner, so this game doesn't look that much of a clone"
I said, "Man! What do I look like? A kitchen?"
 
I took it and threw it on the ground!

They are trying to out dirt and grime Gears but Gears still had a polished look about it... this just looks dirty and muddy in general. Hopefully they at least do a bit of an overall and sharpen the visuals instead of having every texture and color bleed into everything else.

You have to wonder whether or not Epic could have a legal case here, lol, on the other hand the parts where he is throwing the chic around look kinda cool.

This trailer was about 3 minutes longer than it needed to be.
The environments were varied but bland, this just... ugh no.

For the record, Quantum Theory isn't "Stop & Pop" gameplay, it's "Halt & Pepper".
 
Two TOTALLY different gameplay mechanics.

Gears of War meets Prince of Persia using the Unreal Engine, I really can't think of anything worse. That looked f'ing horrible.

I actually could not finish watching that trailer. It looks horrible and derivative (not in a good way either).
