Quantum Break gameplay will "push the boundaries of how people think of live action and gaming today"
Our most ambitious game yet, says Remedy
Speaking to Polygon, Microsoft Studios' corporate vice president Phil Spencer has discussed how Microsoft and Remedy are "trying to push the boundaries of how people think of live action and gaming today", echoing a recent Reddit AMA by developer Sam Lake.
"The unique capability of Remedy, I think is around storytelling," Spencer said. "And television's always been a great place to tell strong stories. We've got this interactive component ... where actions in one and viewing in one, impact what people are doing in the other. That's our creative idea."
"The team has enough momentum in that space, I thought, so it was a great opportunity to put them on stage and show something. We'll talk more as the game evolves." Microsoft has previously confirmed that the game will not be an Xbox One launch title.
During a recent podcast interview with Major Nelson, Remedy's creative director Sam Lake said that Quantum Break was the studio's "most ambitious, big game yet."
"What makes it really interesting is the show connection," he said. "We do have a live action show to go with that, and link to it in a very, very interesting and exciting way - creating this really big interactive experience together - the game and the show. You'll see more of that really soon, I can't really go into more detail."
Lake, who recently took to YouTube to explain the studio's current position on an Alan Wake sequel, was also asked how soon we can expect more news on Quantum Break.
"Let's just say that I'll definitely be at E3," he replied. "I'm not sure if I'm supposed to say any more, except that you will hear more really, really soon and by soon I refer to the month that rhymes with soon. I've probably already said too much."

ist das nur "zufall" das der creative direktor ähnlichkeiten mit der gamefigur hat?? =P
Hab ich mich auch schon gefragt.
Ich muss sagen, ich freue mich auf den Titel, trotz der Skepsis vieler Leute. Ich fand auch AW super und musste es fast an einem Stück durchspielen, weil es so packend war. Also, immer her damit Remedy!
