All right I finished the act 1 and episode 1 this game is fantastict, the tv show it's great, I saw a lot of Microsoft ads on it lol

 

[oatmeal]

At the end of each chapter.

I didn't get that? It just said END OF ACT 1 - Press A.

I did and then...

Spoiler

BROYLES!!!! And then it turned on gameplay where I'm playing as Peter or whatever...

 

[itsinmyveins]

I wasn't gonna buy both consoles this generation. I really wasn't. I already own a PS4 and it serves me fine, and I don't need a second god damn console hogging space under my TV like last gen. I don't need to play Halo or Gears of War.

But god dang it. I'd really like to play Quantum Break.

Episodes play after the junction point.

What is it with MS releases on PC that make people create threads over small issues? I mean, every game has it's issues, technical or design wise. And yeah, it's annoying and needs fixing, but come on...

I get the thread title is about the quit option missing, which is a pretty funny omission in itself, but sub optimal performance even on a 980 at 1080p, definitely isn't a 'small issue'. I guess we'll know a little more about PC performance once more players are able to test it.

 

[oatmeal]

Assuming that thing I said was the Junction point then?

So it's at the beginning of the Acts more than the end of the Acts?

Paul yes just play a few more minutes and the tv show will start

 

[mocolostrocolos]

The gunplay is sooooooooooooo good.

Wasn't it revealed it's a with a shitty AMD CPU and a mobile 980?

Thank you

 

[blackdevil]

i cant find the game on the german windows store...?

 

[TheUnsunghero26]

Yeah, the basic structure of the game is: Act (play as Jack Joyce) - Junction (Play as Paul Serene) - Episode.

 

[Theorry]

Gamedvr still not working for this game? Made alot of screens and vids but they dont show up.

 

[oatmeal]

Very cool. Was surprising for sure.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Thank you

You're welcome I was confused too this is the first time that a game has a built in tv show right?

 

[SlickVic]

Man I could've sworn that Amazon used to let you preorder up till the Sunday night before release and still let you lock you in release date delivery. Put in my order Sunday early morning and looks like it won't get here till Wednesday. I had some credit to burn so I went with them but would've been nice to have gotten it on release.

If that's true then it's embarrassing. All in the name of bashing the UWP antichrist.

Not saying this is a system seller but I'm very glad I have an XBO to play this game.

 

[Dmented]

Like that's the only reason UWP is worth bashing.

 

[Phenomenal Flea]

I should have known the code would come late. I bought it on the NZ store, and I was hoping I'd get the PC code sooner, because I don't have an Xbox One. I assumed those Alan Wake codes were going to be redeemable and playable on my 360?

For those of you who have received codes from Microsoft in the past, will I be able to read the message on the Xbox website or through the Xbox app on Windows 10?

Also, kinda disappointed that the episode pack isn't available for the PC version either. If I don't have time to watch the episode at the time, is there some option to be able to watch the episode which reflects my choices from a menu or something?

 

[Theorry]

Pro tip btw. Turn off the hud. You dont really need it. And no hud is always better.

 

[oatmeal]

Side note...
(Early Act 1 Spoilers)

Spoiler

Turning on that TV and seeing...ALAN WAKE??!?!?!??!?!?!?!

Huge grin.

 

[nib95]

Was it? I haven't seen it posted anywhere and I don't follow the guy on Twitter. His tweet certainly doesn't say it's a GTX mobile. But even a GTX 980M should blaze through the game, as it's not far off in performance to the standard GTX. To put it in to perspective, with Rainbow Six Seige at 1080p on Ultra, the same GPU gets 114fps average, and at the same settings, 90fps with Just Case 3 and 104fps with Battlefront, so sub 30fps would definitely be poorly optimised and still terrible performance in comparison.

 

[iBlue]

For how much do you guys think the PC codes will go for?

 

[PreFire]

Fuck, I haven't turned my xbox one on in so long the first thing I'm greeted with is a 3.4 GB update lol

Really hope the game is longer than 14 hours though

It should run better, yes. To me it sounds like an issue with vsync or framerate locks. Hopefully the PC version releases soon to everyone.

Someone dug out the guy's youtube page and saw the FX8320 thing I think, that could be the culprit here.

Remedy never had a game that's longer than 12 hours. TBH I think for a linear narrative game 10-12 hours is just about fine.

 

[blackdevil]

? it`s between 8-12 hours.

 

[golem]

Junction 2 has a pretty even split so far

So glad I read this post lol. Just turned mine on and got the same update. Game should be with me in a few hours so I'd rather be prepared lol.

Yes you will be able to see the messages on the Xbox app and website

 

[N7Commander95]

Loooool

Love the X-Men references

 

[Twin Tails]

Love reading these dumb little things. Wish this whole thing was fake tv show though.

 

[Phenomenal Flea]

Yes you will be able to see the messages on the Xbox app and website

Thanks for letting me know!

 

[T.O.P]

Can anyone confirm if the streaming quality is good enough especially compared to the downloadable episodes pack?

 

[Mufc1427]

The collectibles in this game add a lot to the story.

 

[kennedy88]

:/

just talked with microsoft support

 

[madmackem]

First bit game looks great apart from the noise effect around everything it's a bit distracting at times, love the attention to detail though in the very first area.

 

[leng jai]

You can download episodes individually right? Would take me 10 years to do it all at once.

 

[sTiTcH AU]

Just finished act 1 and watched the episode, so far has been excellent. The movement during combat isn't exactly the best however overall I am loving it and is a decent challenge on hard. The story is the best part so far.

 

[ATOMICJORGE]

Thanks for letting me know!

You're welcome buddy

Can anyone confirm if the streaming quality is good enough especially compared to the downloadable episodes pack?

It depends on your Internet speed but in my opinion the streaming quality it's really good

 

[T.O.P]

Nope, it's a single pack

 

[lordfuzzybutt]

:/

What the fuck.

 

[Jarmel]

The game totally needs a horde mode. The firefights are amazing.

 

[leng jai]

Nope, it's a single pack

What, so it's a single 75gb download?

 

[T.O.P]

What, so it's a single 75gb download?

Yeah, i started downloading the thing last night, currently halfway through (shitty connection here)

 

[Lima]

Got to say not having a New York Minute style type of game mode in a game about time is a missed opportunity. At least there is NG+ I guess.

 

[RiotPelaaja]

Concern for Remedy's future due to lack of a quit selection...

So I finished Act 1 and Episode 1. Good stuff so far. Great production values.

Lack of a proper Exit Game option is an UWP thing, just click the X on the windows corner to shut down properly.

 

[PetulantChild]

Holy shit that Junction 2. That was a hard decision.

 

[nib95]

Someone dug out the guy's youtube page and saw the FX8320 thing I think, that could be the culprit here.

That's still a reasonable CPU though, and still better than what's in the Xbox One, which would be a highly underclocked, less capable equivalent.
