Not too surprised, considering it's a Remedy game. I thought a 2014 release was highly unlikely.

Quantum Break "just hit full production"
- Thread starter iMax
- Start date

In my mind anything before full-production would just be called pre-production work.
Sorry to break it to ya, but he does know stuff. More than Thuway and his rampant speculation bullshit.
It really does seem completely asinine, to me, to do closed-doors showings of games.

I agree with you, but in MS's defence Forza Horizon 2, Sunset Overdrive and Halo Collection will make for a pretty strong first party line-up this October/November.

Well, to be fair, Remedy isn't known for their timeliness. It'll hopefully turn out great

unlike the repetitive turd known as Alan Wake

So all I got to look forward to for Xbox one is halo master chief collection and sunset overdrive for exclusives in 2014? And PS4 looks like the Order and that's it? I guess I have to deal with it.
Who said Ps4 only has The Order 1886 ? Driveclub, The last of Us. Plus wasnt Titanfall shown last E3 and without Xbone tech issues/ harder to dev for, prob would have been able to launch in Fall winter last year. Who knows whats out this fall. Sure there will be some suprises.

But were they running on a PC or the actual Xbox One hardware/devkit? That's the most important question
In-engine as in TLOU, Uncharted and Alain Wake. Not running in real-time. So I expect the actual game to be a tad less impressive...

Er, no. shinobi claims to know stuff, as in talking to devs for real.
He's got his sources, but he says he doesn't repackage what is said by other insiders.

Yes you are correct.

If that was the case, MS is reading the playbook Sony wrote in 2005.
Forza 5 was drastically different from what they showed, Sunset Overdrive was just CG, Halo was CG, Black Tusk game was cancelled.

Maybe they put more men on the project? I just feel there is a real reason he said "full production" now.
They both do honestly

I can't wait for Quantum Break.
I always doubted the game releasing in 2014. 2015 is fine by me. I prefer they take their sweet ass time and release a solid product and knowing Remedy, it should be solid.

If the game is anything like the first showing where it's part live-action....part normal game, I'm not even remotely interested. But I really don't know much and haven't been keeping up on the Quantum Break news.
Now we wait for it to reach The Last Guardian status for MS.
Now we wait for it to reach The Last Guardian status for MS.
A new IP that could easily be the best thing ever or utter shit, ports of old games (no matter how awesome , and without the info on pricing) and an arcade racer is pretty weak for your exclusive line up going into your second Christmas period.
Going into E3 both platforms exclusive line-up looks pretty average. Fingers crossed for E3, but it would be a massive shock if MS/Sony have exclusives ready to go by Oct/Nov that they have somehow managed to keep secret.
If that's what you want to believe man, good for you, I guess.
I will remain sceptical that a guy who used to (prolifically) post news from other sites on GAF quit the site and suddenly devs started giving him info to share on Twitter.
Even when you consider how video game fans behave? If we had early shots or footage of something they would be brought into every thread about the game by detractors. They'd be used in GIFs in disparaging ways.
We don't get access to them because we can't handle it.

This will be the likely reality.
Jesus fucking christ.
Then again, Alan Wake took way longer than expected and by the time it released no one really gave a rats. Not to mention it released on the same day as Red Dead Redemption which kinda doomed its sales and recognition right from the get go.
Hopefully it gets released by 2018 or so.
It'll probably release the same day as GTA6.

Who gets to see the closed door stuff, though? Journos?
Yeah pretty much
I know he's a cool guy who doesn't afraid of anything.

Shinobi has his sources. He got offended when I wrote something similar when he was around, he sent me a pm explaining why I was wrong.
Heh. Would be hilarious if they launched day and date with RDR2.

He was incredibly accurate about the Halo 5 stuff.
I would consider him much more likely to be reliable about info for an MS related news (like games and OS) than other certain insiders
SniperHunter

anything he says about the order 1886 is also true
So it's been in full production since last summer? Yeah, this still might have a chance for November/December 2014.
Quantum Break was revealed before E3.
Plus why would they show stuff at the VGX if they had no intention in releasing the game for another 2 years

I have a feeling this quote is being taken out of context a bit. I mean what does "full production" even mean? For all we know that just means it's out of alpha.
Not saying it won't end up as 2015. I've always felt like this was the most likely to end up hitting next year especially with SO hitting this year. But until I see some tweets clarifying it, I wouldn't take this as gospel. Hopefully someone can just get them to clarify what "full production" means.

I guess that was the last thing he heard about the game so that's what he went with.
During their VGX interview Remedy's head of franchise development said "we're in full blown development"
http://youtu.be/PgKDvrQMLVA?t=3m23s
The VGX piece was the E3 trailer spliced with a dev talking and about 10 seconds of "gameplay".
Haha. All the footage with human actors is complete.
Now they'll start working on the actual game.
Dear god I hope that isnt the case =/
lol at those comments.. They never talked about released dates for those games.
Its not like they announced a launch title just because the competition had one game in that genre, knowing it was not ready for launch.

He started on GAF, not on Twitter. Though it was definitely a late shift, it seems he started sometime early this year for a few months before his self-banning choice. In fact, he started his stint with The Order, where he teased the trailer coming before we found out about The Order February embargo.

His believability is only as good as his accuracy. So far. he's been quite on-point, especially for Order and Halo. His testing ground, will of course, be his tweet about the Assassin's Creed 4-player co-op, which from what I can recall, originated from him entirely without any other insider claiming so.

Glad to see games can still have healthy (hopefully it was) pre-production phases. There's a reason games don't usually have as good stories as movies, they don't usually use a year or more just for the script.
Shinobi is really well informed. Speaking from personal experience not related to what he publicly posts.

Rockefellers. Skull and Bones. Microsoft. Al Qaeda. A Cabal of Bankers. The melting point of steel. What do these things have in common? Wake up sheeple, the landfill wasn't even REAL!
so.....ntkrnl told us controlled leaks in order to generate hype?
Didn't one of the mods say it wasn't
