Microsoft has “big surprises” planned for Gamescom 2014
Microsoft has big plans for this year’s Gamescom convention. The Xbox behemoth has a slew of presentations planned including a major Xbox Briefing on Tuesday, August 12 at 8:00 AM (Eastern Time). A teaser video above gives us a taste of what we can expect to see including Evolve, Assassin’s Creed: Unity, Sunset Overdrive, Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, Forza Horizon 2, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Project Spark. The video also promises that we will get to see some “big surprises” at the show, one of which is surely Remedy’s Quantum Break.
What else will Microsoft unveil at Gamescom? You’ll have to tune in to see for yourself, but you’ve got plenty of options. The consolemaker will livestream their briefing through your Xbox console and Xbox.com and daily highlights will also appear on YouTube.
Gamescom 2014 officially kicks off on August 13.
Continue Countdown #5 – Mortal Kombat X, Forza Horizon 2, Pre-E3 Predictions, More
It’s the most wonderful time of the year as the 2014 E3 Expo is right around the corner. The Warp Zoned staff spent a recent night chatting about some of the big pre-E3 announcements during the latest episode of “Continue Countdown.” We pre-pre-judged Mortal Kombat X, Homefront: The Revolution, Forza Horizon 2, BattleCry, Battlefield Hardline, and Hyrule Warriors in the first six segments of the show.
But we also wanted to worry and fret over a trio of delayed games (Batman: Arkham Knight, The Order: 1886, and Quantum Break) as well as speculate about what a Smash Bros.-style Mario Kart game would be like (spoiler alert: it would be AWESOME). And the eternal question (How much would you pay for an E.T. cartridge excavated from a landfill?) was answered.
Finally, we slipped a few E3 predictions in there. We’re probably way off the mark, but it’s that magical pre-E3 time when anything seems possible.

Quantum Break gameplay teaser promises full reveal at Gamescom 2014
Remedy is hard at work on Quantum Break and the latest trailer confirms that their time-twisting action game will be released in 2015. While a 2014 release date was never officially announced, many hoped they’d get their hands on the game this year. It looks like that’s not to be and, according to Remedy’s Sam Lake, Quantum Break will skip the 2014 E3 Expo as well.
In the video above, Quantum Break’s Creative Director teases a tiny sliver of gameplay footage from the game with the promise that we’ll get more at this year’s Gamescom show. The video game show, which is based in Cologne, Germany, will be held from August 13 through the 17th.
Quantum Break will attempt to blend a third-person action game with a Hollywood-style live-action television show. According to Lake, “The game is about heroes, the show is about villains.” The game will follow Jack Joyce, the hero we’ve gotten to know a little bit about in two earlier trailers (at the “Next Xbox Reveal” and VGX 2013). Meanwhile, the show will follow the corporate intrigue within Monarch Solutions, the evil entity at the center of Quantum Break.
Hopefully, one of the villains will give us a “muwhahaha” at some point in the show.

VGX 2013 Trailer: Quantum Break
Remedy’s Creative Director, Sam Lake, showed up at the 2013 VGX Awards to talk about Quantum Break. Quantum Break is your typical “science gone awry” story, but Lake promises that the time powers granted to heroes Jack Joyce and Beth Wilder and “main bad guy” Paul Serene thanks to the accident at Riverport University will provide a new way to experience a third-person action game.
Quantum Break (or its live-action television show counterpart) still doesn’t have a release date, but PS4 owners should know that it is an Xbox One exclusive.

Spike TV’s revamped VGX Awards are set to begin in just a few hours (6:00 PM Eastern Time to be exact) and this year’s show is sure to pack plenty of surprises. In addition to our first look at Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on the PS4 and Xbox One and a new trailer for Bungie’s Destiny, the 2013 VGX Awards will include…
- A gameplay trailer for CD Projekt RED’s The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
- The first gameplay trailer of Remedy’s Xbox One-exclusive Quantum Break.
- New footage from everyone’s favorite mech game, TitanFall.
- A new gameplay trailer for Tom Clancy’s The Division.
- Yet another trailer for South Park: The Stick of Truth. But this time, it will include a few words from Trey Parker and Matt Stone.

Remedy is developing Quantum Break for Xbox One
Microsoft’s Phil Spencer is still of stage and he’s got another announcement… this time from Max Payne and Alan Wake creators Remedy. Instead of the Alan Wake sequel everyone expected, Remedy is working on something known as Quantum Break.
Spencer treated the crowd to a live-action trailer starring a mysterious little girl known as Peyton who sucks her mom into an Xbox One-rendered world of a tanker crashing into a bridge. Tagline: “Time Is The Fire… In Which We Burn.”
Spencer pointedly mentioned “bullet time” when introducing Quantum Break and it looks like stopping time will play a big part in the game.
