Yup, thought I was imaging things at first. I <3 Remedy. I'd go f*cking nuts if they announced a new Alan Wake.

Can't believe I will satisfy my craving for creation in Project Spark and my story driven craving in Quantum Break.

2014 is going to be a very good year for gaming.

They show so very little and that is why i really doubt this is a 2014 release. Then again...Halo 5 is 2014 and we have yet to see anything.
 
For all Remedy's new-fangled talk of live-action elements and branching storytelling, Xbox One exclusive Quantum Break will still offer gutsy old school third-person shooter thrills, the developer has assured Edge.

In a new interview, CEO Matias Myllyrinne also took a moment to discuss the structure of the plot. Be warned: the below contains mild spoilers.

"At its heart, the gameplay needs to be good," head of franchise development Oskari Hakkinen observed. "How the game feels; how it plays; do you get a rush of adrenaline when you press the trigger and dodge for cover?

"If you don't have those things nailed down then nobody is going to be drawn in to the fiction either. Those fundamentals need to be polished to what I call a 'Remedy pedigree' - the standard that we need to hit. That will happen."

"This is a Remedy game," he concluded, "and not only a Remedy game, but the ultimate Remedy game."

As a traditional shooter, Quantum Break's stand-out elements are probably its time manipulation powers. As protagonist Jack Joyce, you'll be able to use these to get the drop on foes, dodge cars, pull people out of explosions before they're done exploding, and the like. Players will also play the part of the main antagonist, Myllyrinne revealed - his temporal abilities are a cut above.

"At the end of the episode, you get to play the bad guy, who has the most powerful time-manipulation powers of all," he told the site. "So he gets to choose which future comes to pass. You play that bad guy; you choose the moment.

"Then, once you've made your choice, you can enjoy a high-quality TV episode where you'll see how your choices impacted certain things. Unlike many other games, you actually get to know what the consequences of your choice are.

"[In other games], when I make a choice, I don't necessarily know what the impact of that decision has been, or why things turned out a certain way. Obviously you can have twists and turns, but it's good to understand the consequences of your actions. We should be making [choice] more meaningful for gamers and more engaging."

Earlier this week, we shared the news that Remedy level designer and scripter Greg Louden helped bring home the Academy Award for visual effects thanks to his work on Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. We caught up with Louden to ask him about his work on the film and Remedy’s upcoming Xbox One exclusive, Quantum Break.

Game Informer: Tell us a little bit about your work on Gravity. How many people were on the VFX team?

Greg Louden: I was one of the 150 plus fantastic VFX artists and production team members at Framestore London who was fortunate enough to work on Gravity, being led by the VFX supervisor Tim Webber and CG Supervisor Chris Lawrence.

I was working in the FX Department led by Alexis Wajsbrot and I was a FX Technical Director where my role focused on the simulation of zero gravity floating objects. Spoilers ahead but workwise the poignant props for example the floating chess pieces, space shuttle toy, pens and other items in the International Space Station (ISS ) were my animations which other artists modeled, textured, rendered and composited.

Whereas in the Tiangong (Chinese Space Station) sequence I simulated hundreds of props created and rendered by other artists including chop sticks, a lucky cat, a “Go” board, a Yuan coin and other Chinese objects and symbols as Ryan navigates the sequence in first person. It was a fantastic project to be part of and I’m really proud and happy to of been a part of the Academy Award winning VFX team.

Why did you decide to move from film to game design?

I worked in film and I work in games now because I love both mediums. I am a massive fan of cinema, games and I love the potential interactive entertainment offers for truly groundbreaking experiences. In general, I just love to create great experiences for audiences, and have been very lucky to of always worked with great teams and great projects that push the envelope.

What makes Remedy a good fit for you?

Remedy is a wonderful place to work, everyone is a storyteller at heart, genuine, friendly and very talented. [This] talented team comes together from a variety of backgrounds, from all parts of the world with a vision to create interactive immersive stories.

For example, in the level team alone we have a Spanish electronic engineer, a Czech who studied astrophysics, a French graphic designer, a Canadian game design lecturer, a Finnish Max Payne modder, and more. I also chose to join Remedy because I loved the ambition, style and the innovative nature of Remedy’s approach to interactive entertainment.

How does your work in level design and scripting for Quantum Break use your skill set, and what perspectives from the film world do you apply to game design?

As member of the “Quantum Break” level design team my job is to take the level story and design and direct and script experiences using our propriety "Northlight" game engine. My work starts from reading the story, creating level layouts and working with the art team, then leveraging the game design, animation, dialogue, music and drama moments with the team to create a thrilling experience.

Level design and VFX are both about telling stories and my general skills from VFX with regards to art direction, animation, lighting and teamwork are things I always apply to game design also. Furthermore, like all Remedians, I love pop culture so my interest in art, music, film, theatre and games is also very useful on Quantum Break.

How do you see film and interactive media interacting throughout this console generation and into the future?

I think film, interactive media and games will become more and more prevalent in the future. I love great worlds and stories in games, and believe a TV show, a movie, a comic, a song, a book or a game all add to the experience, building emotional attachment and immersion.

Remedy has always been very good at that. As Star Wars innovated in the 1970s, I think if you create a great world audiences will always want to return to that world irrespective of the media to see more aspects and stories.

Remedy was my favorite developer from last gen. I love that they are putting out this new idea for gameplay.

Same here. I really enjoyed Alan Wake, everything was really well done, graphics, atmosphere, story, presentation, easily in my top 3 games of last gen. So looking forward to Quantum Break.
 
Aw yeah, 'ol Captain Constipated!

I realized it back during the Alan Wake Dev diaries, lol..
 
Haven't jumped in yet to next gen and most likely will not do until this one arrives. My most anticipated game right now...
 
I really don't believe the stuff from that leaker about QB releasing this year. We have seen so little, even the VGX stuff was incredibly brief. Maybe if they show a live on-stage demo at E3 it can see a release later in the year, like what happened with Halo 4 though, but i doubt it. It is looking damn good though. So happy it;s not just another cover shooter either, it has more, much more.

MS, it would seem, are saving nigh on everything for E3. GDC will see a few things, but I'm assuming this will mostly be related to the indie game scene. I think this E3 is going to be amazing, best one for years. Not just for xbox but PS4 too, as they seem to be rather quiet as well.

Me thinks good times are ahead :)

Honestly, I don't follow Ninty news. I lost interest in their franchises a long time a go. But if they have good stuff coming too then great. Even more for the masses to be happy about.
 
I need Quantum Break in my veins NOW! MS needs this to come out this year. Halo 5 too.
 
When are we getting more information about this game. Until now, we only get a CG trailer. Come on!
