It looks a lot like Gears of War but also features a few twists on that third-person shooter formula.
And if you live in Europe or the US and own a PlayStation 3, you get a chance to test it out before anyone else. According to Electronic Theatre , Tecmo Koei has announced that a playable demo of Quantum Theory is now available to download on the PlayStation Network. Xbox 360 users will get a chance to try it "later this month." The demo lets you take control of Syd, the big bad-ass warrior with only one thing on his mind (revenge). He teams up with the mysterious Filena who doesn't have to rely on guns; she has a unique combat technique that provides a nice contrast to Syd's blasting style. You must battle the Diablosis, a black material that seems to infect anything it touches, so get ready for a rough ride. Electronic Theatre offered some quick feedback:
"Quantum Theory is clearly shaping-up to be a title worth keeping an eye on. While it may never compete with the blockbuster budget available to Epic Games and Microsoft in terms of visual fidelity, it certainly got enough interesting ideas to propose a new direction for the genre."
Quantum Theory is set to launch on September 24 in Europe; it holds a September 28 release date here in the US. Of course, we'll give you our impressions on the demo as soon as we get a chance to sit down and play it (probably tomorrow), and we'll also bring you Tecmo's answers to your questions soon.

Meh, played it, deleted it. It's Gears with uglier graphics, character designs and weapons.
I agree, the game was dull as hell.
thanks for the warning, imma still try it out, but this game was almost destined to be a disappointment
I actually expected the graphic to better than Gears 2.
Why? haha
Been waiting for a game like this to come out on PS3, will be downloading the demo asap.
Uncharted 2 owns this game as well as Gears. We already have a solid third person cover shooter.
Some gamers need more than one though, right?
I do for sure. I can only play through the same game so many times.
Uncharted 2's single player ended way to soon for me. Just crave more.
Why be lucky when all you have to do is make a euro account.That is what I did thanks for the heads up and im downloading he demo in a sec.
Or a US account.
Lol, ya…it's been available on the US PSN store since last evening.
It's already up? How did he miss that?
A lot going on. I forgot today was Wednesday until I was halfway to the office.
Thank you, I will keep an eye on it. I'm looking forward to trying out this demo when it comes stateside. Kinda sucks that they aren't too confident in their graphics, but if it's less arcadey and a little more colorful than "the Vanquish" then I may be interested.

EDIT: LV, beat me too it.
If you're looking for more color than Vanquish, this isn't the game. As far as the game play goes, its almost identical to Gears. Clunky controls and heavy characters. Vanquish is mucho better than this in my opinion.

John's been contributing for a while but I have to ask….WHO THE HEC IS HE!?
I never see him post or comment. He's usually good for best buy ads though.
John may not be the hero this city wants, but he's the hero this city needs…
Okay, downloading now, I'll try not to expect much.

By the time its done downloading your option to edit will have expired. 🙂
LOL, it's 700mbroughly and full of fail.
LOL!
Which is why I edited again, impressions in the next post. Since I think we own this section for the next 24 hours.
That can't be a good thing can it?
I feel like we just got done telling World what the worst dish on the menu is at a local restaurant and he went ahead and ordered it.

LOL! At least its a free meal.
Everybody has different tastes, part of me still wants to play Alpha Protocol too 🙂
Me too World, I'm waiting for it to drop below $2.
You guys should just rent alpha protocol. I actually enjoyed it. It can actually be pretty fun. Best way to roll is either full stealth or full rifles.
It was just an average game but in the 20 some years I've been playing games I have played more broken games than it. Also the dialogue is fun probably the best part of the game.
Yes, it's available in both regions now. Fixed now.
Okay, wait, I downloaded this demo last night from the US PSN, am I missing something?
Anyway, the game is crap. And it so blatantly rips off Gears in so many ways it's shameful.
It's not even worth a bargain bin price, or even the shelf space the case would take–my wrath.
I'd rather just play with Filena. Staring at a burly man's backside has never been appealing to me.
*attempts to resist jokes about LV*
Nor will he like this thread. LOL!
It was a decent/good demo, but playing this game it really show how amazing and with tight control the Uncharted series is.
But i will rent the game to see the rest of it.
Okay, I wasn't expecting much, and I got worse. That was utter crap. Not even this-gen crap either. What took them so long to make this? I could make this game over the weekend with 3 legos,a jar of piss, and some play-dough.
HELLO Tecmo, where is My DOA5 and DOA Super Extreme Volleybounce 3??

I knew this game was going to bomb when Sony didn't even attempt to retain it as an exclusive. They knew it was generic crap from the get go and it will be interesting to see if it sells any copies on the 360.
I bet 360 kids will buy this Gears clone while they eagerly await Gears 3.
Argh… Didn't like it at all. To me gears of war is an okay game, and Quantun thoery doesn't even compare to gears:p hahah word
I know it, i hate Gears and if i was forced to live on an island with either Gears or this, Gears it would be.
Gears was awesome, Quantum……..is crap.
The graphic felt like a 2008 game, no wait, HELL NO!!
Even Heavenly Sword looks better, or even worse, Gears 1 looks betters.
Even the gameplay sucks.
I didn't expect anything from Quantum but wow, nice going Tecmo.
I actually spent more time on the Sengoku Basara demo and that was fun.

Notice all these characters in these "western" Japanese games sound like Snake?
Or fail too…
There can only be one Snake and one Snaaaake!!
I was hopeful then I played the demo. 🙁
me too friend… me too.
Well, I won't bother to try it now!
Q!
"play.experience.enjoy"
Well that was crap.
