This. The game had a lot of potential. With focus on better gameplay mechanics , controls and a proper story a sequel would be awesome.

Anyone want a sequel to Quantum Break?

Definitely. I really enjoyed Quantum Break, it has an excellent time travel story that I'd love to see more of.
Sure, had fun with it. But for Gods sake.. drop... the... fucking... shit... liveshow.. that was the biggest shit i have ever seen on my screen. All those great gameplay potential wasted on that show. Man that was bad.
Love the original much more than Alan Wake .
The story is time travel that makes sense. Combat is awesome once you get a few time powers. Even the live action stuff wasn't as bad as I expected.
Day 1 for Quantum Break 2.

This also. HZD did good by naming his weapon after him, 'The Lance'.
I do want more Quatum Break. Game is one of my favorite Rememdy games, loved everything about it. My only issue with the live action stuff is it focused on 2 no name characters (Burke and Charlie).
It would be sweet if the series can actually continue as a Netflix series or something.

My god this game really got a poor reception.
Yes I'd love to because tee direction the lore was going with Chronos was really exciting and Beth and Monaghan character were great. The TV show part might be tedious but the story, graphics and gameplay delivered.

Interesting.. will it be a MS exclusive tho? I does make sense but it also makes sense that Lake and co choose for multiplat. They deserve a much bigger audience imo.
QB2 being worked on makes me happy, even if it's only in pre-production.
I don't.
The biggest problem for me was the gameplay, it didn't work. Gameplay features read nice on paper, and maybe even make nice gifs but the game is rather boring to play. Weapons are extremely inaccurate, enemies damage sponges and some levels repetitive. Mostly because puzzles were uninteresting and stopped gameplay far too often and for too long. Don't get me wrong, I like a good puzzle, but this was mostly hold "Y" and watch a "nice" animation. They also threw to many story collectibles into the levels. I tend to collect and read all of them, (in every game) but there were too many here and they were mostly, long and boring. They felt like a tool to extend the game lenght, but they didn't add anything important to the story (for the most part) and interupted the pacing even more.
The second problem was the story telling. Characters are uninteresting and full of clichés and there are way too many fillers and many live action scenes were a waste of time.
Third were visuals and performance. The game is either a blurry mess (and I'm a fan of temporal reconstruction!) or a terrible performer.
My verdict: Too much filler/10

No, absolutely not. I'm a big fan of Remedy's other games but I thought Quantum Break was genuinely bad. That game had zero Remedy charm, not in its rubbish TV show, not in its absolute tomes of dry office memoranda it expected you to read in collectibles, and definitely not in any of its boring-ass characters. The gameplay was half-decent, but there was so little of it scattered between the never-ending cutscenes, TV episodes and forced slow-walking exposition bits. It was like a six hour action game with an entire community college course's worth of supplemental material you had to read to get the full picture of its story; quantity over quality. And then of course there's no ending, because Remedy no doubt thought they had a franchise on their hands.
I fell in love with Remedy's style the moment Max Payne realised he was in a video game, but Quantum Break's universe is such a po-faced, miserable place that nothing fun like that could ever happen. It has all the personality of some long-forgotten SyFy show that ran for one season and maybe picked up a dead Subreddit's worth of half-hearted fans along the way. I'll take a Max Payne, an Alan Wake or something entirely new in a heartbeat, but I have zero interest in seeing another Quantum Break.

*whispers* Rumour has it that MS are funding QB2, so they possibly do, in fact, have a franchise on their hands.

Yay! if its only pre production now it mean's we probably won't see it till next gen. Unless they close out this gen with QB2.
Give me some kind of endless arena/ horde mode with all those timepowers.
Loved the combat in the game , just needed a lot more of it .

Would love a sequel, personally really enjoyed the game.
I do understand why some people don't like it and I always thought it got overshadowed by some just wanting to focus on nothing but resolution at the time.
The game showed so much promise and I'm sure a quality studio like Remedy could learn from any mistakes and make an awesome sequal. There have been so many games that have had mixed reception, been lacking in areas but showed promise, that have gone on to have stronger sequels.

Really...Wake was a special game and is a cult hit game ......its the one they should be giving a sequel
Be interesting to see what Remedy does with a QB2 , but if it's more QB1 then they will lose some core fans.
I liked QB a lot, but I think it works best as a standalone story. If the story wants to be consistent with its conception of time, there isn't much more to tell or do. Except if it happens
I'd love to get another game based on the same concept though.
after the end of time, but then it would be a completely different story.

From what I've read from Sam Lake it sounds like they don't want to make a sequel unless the foundation is really solid it sounds like Remedy really care about it and don't want to ruin a potential one hit wonder with a bad sequel.
I liked the game (played the Steam version, twice), I found it quite atmospheric and the gameplay was pretty good. If they can match this in a sequel and keep it fresh, then I'm in. I fear it's hard to make a sequel as impactful though.
Wake has the feels...such a well built world and lore ....but each to there own. I liked QB and it played well (when if let you) but the world and story were a bit lame imo...
Hmm. I'd say I want a sequel to Quantum Break about as much as I want a sequel to games of similar quality and stature like, say, Haze or Too Human or Overstrike or Alan Wake.
Which is to say not particularly at all, but I suppose it would be morbidly fascinating to watch happen.
