E3 2010: Quantum Theory Hands-on Preview

Thu, Jun 17th, 2010, 3:47 pm (EST) BY KYLE WYNEN

Quantum Theory has had both an up and down development cycle and reception among gamers and the press, and for the second time it's back at E3 in hopes to revitalize excitement for the game. Last we heard from the Quantum Theory team, the game was delayed until the vague Fall 2010 area, and with that in mind Gaming Union got some hands-on time with the still in development game on the E3 2010 show floor.

E3 2010 Preview: Tecmo Koei

Mon, Jun 7th, 2010, 8:06 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS

Tecmo and Koei are both storied Japanese game publishers responsible for iconic franchises such as Dead or Alive, Ninja Gaiden, and Dynasty Warriors. In 2009, the two companies announced plans to merge, which isn't as interesting as it may sound because nothing really changed. As for E3 2010, well, the publisher hasn't publicly released much information on its lineup at this point, allowing us to let our minds run wild with speculation. A new Ninja Gaiden? Dynasty Warriors? Quantum Theory on the show floor? It's all on the table.

While Tecmo Koei's lineup is largely a mystery, one thing is a fairly set bet, Quantum Theory will be making an appearance. The Gears of War-esque game is being targeted at a Western audience and is currently slated for a Summer 2010 release window. So, what better way to promote it then with a big showing at E3, the biggest gaming conference in the West. Expect Tecmo to announce a firm release date for the game, alongside a playable demo.

Quantum Theory Preview

Wed, May 26th, 2010, 2:18 pm (EST) BY JORDAN DOUGLAS

Have you ever thought to yourself, ‘Gears of War is a great game, but what it really needs is a Japanese inspired story and art direction’? If the answer is yes, then Quantum Theory is the game you’ve been waiting for. Developed by Team Tachyon and published by Tecmo, Quantum Theory doesn’t try very hard to hide numerous similarities to Epic’s Gears of War, expect that it’s a PS3 exclusive. However, the game does purpose a few unique ideas to differentiate itself - the most important being the interaction between the two main characters, and the ever changing environments. More »

Quantum Isn't A Gears Of War Clone

Posted on 2009/06/10 BY DARRYL

Ever since Tecmo's PlayStation 3 exclusive, Quantum, was announced last year, many people have compared it to Microsoft's behemoth franchise, Gears of War.

It's easy to see why. They both have a bulky male leading character who wields big guns, and there is also the obvious cover system that made Gears of War so successful. However, while Tecmo are aware of the comparisons, they don't necessarily agree with their sentiment. More »
