It looks nice, maybe....probably...I guess I need to see it in action. This sort of game hinges on how they present the story and game play . You can have a nice premise; stopping time & moving people, things, actions around; but if you muck up the story or screw up the narrative of how the story is feed to the player the game will disappoint.

This seems like a game that has a lot of "outside" factors that will make or break it. "Let's see what they can do with this idea" is my response.

Cutting through all the buzz words... So, its a 3rd person shooter with bullet time. Yes, real revolutionary indeed.

English with a French accent is my new favorite way to hear about video games. Something about the inflection, emphasis, and pronunciation seems perfect here.

Well Sam Lake is Finnish, but I guess you're entitled to like French accents if you really want.

Thank you for the correction. That's twice this week I think I've been 'that American'.

Also, sorry if I pissed on anyone for mixing the languages up.

My country is somewhat ashamed of our accent. Glad you like it.

@bigjeffrey: Sarcasm aside, this is more about a development studio that can't grow more than being surprised. Video games are more than just pretty graphics, which it seems they are only focused on. Hopefully this one won't take years to come out like Alan Wake did only to be kind of a let down.

The Monarch and his henchmen went with a more corporate look I see.

It would be awesome if they gave a nod to the Venture Bros Monarch. I can see him go big, though not without Dr. Mrs. The Monarch running things behind the scenes.

Sam Lake looks and connotes weird to me. But I will be focused on anything Remedy makes. They have proven to me they have Vision. How it translates to a game that appeals, I will give them the chance, and I won't necessarily find fault if it misses for me. I enjoyed Alan Wake, though I discovered that was limited to one play-through. Max Payne was outstanding.

It looks like a heavily scripted cover based shooter.

I think this looks cool. I liked the people in the background of the video, too.

This looks super cool. Even the tv show part of it is promising if you know what's up and you're down with Address Unknown and Night Springs. If they can bring some of that magic to the live action show we could have a gem on our hands.

@regular_kirk: Uh, did you think it was going to be an adventure game or something? It was definitely still heavily Twin Peaks/King/Twilight Zone inspired.

It took me a couple of times to notice but the way the background behind Sam skips around is pretty cool.

Also I'm just going to pretend that the antagonist is actually The Monarch from Venture Bros.

Here's hoping that this is great. It's not the first game to utilize "time" powers, but not many games do, so it's still somewhat unique. Graphically it looks good.

I’m looking forward to this game and thought this latest trailer followed earlier reveals quite nicely. Quantum break was one of the main reasons I decided to go with an xbox one rather than a PS4 at launch (that and Titanfall).

I’ve always been a fan of Remedy’s work and thought Quantum Break looked like something I might really enjoy. Although like many other here I want to see more game play footage before being completely convinced!

I liked the first couple of season of “Fringe” and get the feeling Quantum Break might have a similar soft science mixed with time travel quality to it. Not sure if any else has either picked that up or gets that feeling? Its still obviously very early days but you know when you just get a sense about the style and feeling of something.

The set up appears similar too - theoretical physicists working out of a university messing with space and time; main protagonist appears to be a large (slightly shady) corporation lead by a man who appears to have had some hand in the original experiments…

Sounds/Looks awesome to me-and remedy has a good track record of awesome story-driven shooters with fun gimmicks in them: bullet-time, light is a weapon, and now time manipulation stuff.

Count me in Sam.

This is obviously based on your own experiences of seeing multiple people being blown up?

Sam Lake should just change his name to Max Payne.
