Wait!? Quantum Theory is coming out in 5 days?! Since when!? Guess no ones showing the game any love since I haven't heard one thing about it for how long. It's probably going to be an epic fail. Sad. Who's buying it?..... Better question. Who's heard of it?
Quantum Theory
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Sep 28, 2010
Take on a living alien tower that shifts and mutates around you, and the hordes of hostile creatures that dwell within, in this infamous Japanese clone of Gears of War.
Quantum Theory gets no love!
Oh shit, I have to update my ps3 again to play the demo. I'm sure the game is terrible, won't get more than 75% gamerankings.
Unfortunately, the execution was poor. Its sad to see that happen to any game.
@Abyssfull: Hahaha. Does Kane & Lynch deserve it? I mean, your picture shows Kane. (I think)
" @HitmanAgent47: YES! Tell me of this horrible game of which we speak!It's his better half, Lynch. And I'd say so. I did enjoy Kane and Lynch 2, afterall whilst Quantum Theory just isn't doing too much for me. Is a shame because I was excited for it. It's a Gears clone but a well done Gears clone could still be freakin' kickass.

I wasn't too impressed with the demo. The textures looked kinda glossed over in a plastic-sense, and the environment feels empty. Gameplay-wise, the enemies' ability to take cover is neat, but the aiming doesn't feel good, at least for my tastes. The second part of the demo with the AI co-op totally turned me off after being presented with too many instruction screens. I don't know, maybe that mechanic is fun once you learn it, but the game had too many bad marks against it for me to deal with that shit.
The Vanquish demo was a way better Japanese take on the third person shooter.
Though there was something oddly compelling about the fiction of Quantum Theory. It seemed so deliciously nonsensical.
" @HitmanAgent47: Worst GOTY Award goes to!..... Kane and Lynch or Quantum Theory? Who shall win?!? Wait to find out! "I'm gonna have to call Quantum Theory, that demo was terrrrrrrrible. Guess I'll find out for sure next week thanks to GameFly :P
" played the demo, it was pretty bad "Yes.
Also, this should be in the Quantum Theory forum.
:@JJWeatherman: Have no idea of how to do that.>_<

You're a real douche. Like every single damn post of yours is essentially "LOL they fucked up the game!", I mean...so fucking what? What's so hilarious about it? They're a japanese dev who took some risks and tried to make a game that would appeal to the western market, they clearly have not done a very good job of it but at least they gave it a shot instead of sticking to some tried and tested japanese-style game-mechanics, and from what I've played of it, the game doesn't exactly seem poorly made or awful to play or anything like that, it plays a hell of a lot like Gears of War which certainly isn't a bad thing, it's just that the gameplay, story, graphics, and pretty much everything about it isn't in the same league as Gears, and so it will get no love. I'm not even saying it deserves any love but it's certainly not one of the worst games ever made.
Sometimes when a game fails, I guess it can be funny, say if some real big name studio did something and hyped it up to be the best game ever and insulted their competitors and were constantly boasting about how great their game was gonna be, and then it came out and bombed, I guess I might laugh and say they deserved it. But that isn't the case here, this was Team Tachyon's first real next gen game and they tried to do something a little different than anything they'd worked on before and I'm sure a lot of effort was put into this game, and now people will lose their jobs over it...I just can't see the funny side.
Perhaps it is the wrong developer to make a game like this, considering what games they have developed and what consoles they've shipped on. The game has been in "development" for three years, which incidently is the same time the company got started, and delayed 2 times. To be honest, it probably should just have had been scrapped all together to allow the developers more running time and build up capital in form of handheld console releases.
I get what you're saying, and it most certainly isn't the worst game - But it is pretty damn bad, even for a rehash.

I have to say, the game could have been a last mediocre in my opinion. The graphics are what really killed it for me. Everything was so bland and just seemed to blend in with everything else, the characters, the architecture, the enemies. It was hurtful on the senses.
it shouldnt get any.
so glad i rented this game,as i didnt even finish it because it was so generic and boring.
I honestly don't care that it's a Gears of War clone, and I don't think anybody else does, either. But the game is just shit, so it deserves to be ridiculed.
Oh dear, this game tries to ape Gears so badly and fails at almost EVERYTHING... the cover sucks, the weapons all suck, I can't see any reason to play this game than to laugh at how dreadful it is, this doesn't reach the same level of hilarity as, say, Crash Time did. Sorry if I upset any of the clearly numerous fans of the game, hehe.
Wow, a lot of hate for one game, but it deserves it.
It's like two final fantasy games had an in-bred, deformed child and then the gears of war games did the same thing.
Then one night these two in-breds get drunk and make the biggest mistake. They make Quantum Theory.
Let this be a warning to any future developers.

@Lind_L_Taylor: No! Stay away from it, seriously!
I'm playing it right now and the only reason I keep doing so, is because I like to finish my games, once I start them... but I really, really do regret having bought something this terrible.
You know, when a game comes out and it gets many low scores in the reviews, I like to check it by myself, because I usually disagree with them.
Well, Quantum Theory is an exception, and a huge one: it has no redeeming qualities. It's a true nightmare.

LOL. I still haven't bought it. Perhaps if I can get it under $5.
Were you able to finish the game? There's a lot of terrible
games out there that might need a tidbit of love every now
& then. :)
