I would wait for people to start taking a Forbes Contributor as final say on the PC version. It's being handled by Remedy themselves mind you.

Great job on the OT though op, but I just don't think I can enter this thread for a few days lol.

Anyone?
I always love these "contributors" lol..... And then it's not even first hand.....
I literally could just post something about a game, performance and "word is" and it would take off like wild fire
You're not alone, I can't play until Friday :'(Won't get a chance to play it until Wednesday due to work reasons. This is going to be torture

The PC version has been suspiciously off the radar, I must admit.
Awaiting more news tentatively.

They had it at a MS event. I did not really see anyone talking about it but they did have it playable.

How do you buy this on PC?
I have windows 10 and when I run "Store" (Trusted Windows Store App) and search for quantum break it only shows hits for music.
Is there a different store app I have to use on Windows 10? I have never bought anything from any windows store so its new to me.

Yes.
Yea... i guess the lack of exposure to it makes it hard to gauge. So at least that is good to know.
I'll wait to see what shape the build releases at and then make a call to purchase it then. I don't think i can even preorder it even if i wanted to anyways haha.

I think you are only eligible if you pre-order before 5 april. On 5 april the deal is no longer valid. Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I've been waiting to play this game for so long, I will be really down if it runs like shit on my rig.
I have a semi decent machine, at least I think I do lol.
I've noticed there hasn't been a game ready driver either from Nvidia. Unless I missed it.

Don't worry. You'll receive it. Im still waiting on mine. Worst case you'll have to contact them by chat and they'll send it.
Thats not rare... sometimes they deploy the drivers late. Or you can go and look it up.
Does it even have nvidia works features and optimizations? i really have no idea what shape this games pc build will be at. I was just happy it was coming out at the same time as console. I have a really good rig. i'll be pretty upset if i can't get good performance out of it.

364.72 - Dark Souls 3, and Quantum Break, and one other game that I can't recall.

not 100% sure, there is a tiny article about it from Nvidia:
http://www.geforce.co.uk/whats-new/articles/quantum-break-coming-to-pc-april-5
Which also has this little snippet, which now has me worried that the Win10 keys are going to be tied to the Xbox account:
"Furthermore, any progress make in the game is automatically shared between your PC and Xbox One, enabling you to continue the story from where you left off on either platform."
I really hope that's not the case as I was relying on the code as a gift from someone who bought the XB1 version...
edit: Ah, thanks for the heads up on the Driver guys.
One of the worst things about the twitter age is this post first, backtrack later, I now see his clarifying.
I guess i would inquire more about this. Sounds like its tied to your MS/Xbox Live account.

I had never seen this before! Lake doing Payne-face never stops being amusing.
Really hope the W10 code doesn't take long to come, dying to play this.
Well, it is delivered as a loose code, so there's that. Wether it can only be redeemed by you or it can redeemed by others is yet to be seen. but it's a code.
I mean, it would only make sense that it would work. What would be the point even of sending you a separate code? Surely if they wanted to make it tied to your account it wouldn't be a code at all, it would just be automatically granted through cross buy.

I think you have to input it on the Xbox and it will activate it for the Win10 account. So if it isn't just a redeem link in a message, and an actual code, I can get it off him and put it in on my xbox in theory I'm thinking.
There's hope yet.

I thought I had read that they were worried they'd ever be able to make it due to sales

I am so ready to read you all tonight...
That was initially, but since then Alan Wake has become a pretty important IP over the years. It's in the 2013 announcement video by Sam Lake, they said it sold over 3 million units at that time.

I'm assuming nobody has said dick about when the PC version goes on sale?
Looks like this guy is streaming the PC version - https://www.twitch.tv/bikeman
Oh wow that's major, I hadn't heard that. Good news, from my perspective.
Not even joking that guy might be the worst video game player I've ever seen. Either the game controls terribly or he is drunk or something, because he just spent about 3 whole minutes climbing a single box and leaping a 3 foot gap...
The game looks OUTSTANDING, however.

And with that I think I'll go to sleep now. Chances are it won't be out in the next 20 hours anyway so I'll grab it tomorrow.

Just saw a tv spot for this game for the first time. Was pretty cool. Surprised MS isn't pushing this harder. Though maybe it's just a coincidence that I haven't seen more advertising. Anyway, I hope QB sells well enough. Remedy are cool devs.
Also, great OT!

There's no on screen metrics to give us a clue about fps etc, but it seems to be running fine. it looks really nice too.
there is some stuttering, but I can't be sure if that's on my end or his so...
