Quantum Theory not PS3 exclusive
Tecmo's Gears of War-alike now headed for 360
The Gears of War-mimicking action shooter, Quantum Theory, is no longer a PS3 exclusive as it's now down for a 360 release, confirms Tecmo, both due for Spring 2010.
As Tecmo explains: "Quantum Theory is Tecmo Koei Europe's newest original IP and the company's first attempt at the third-person shooter genre. Players take on the role of the massive, gun-wielding warrior Syd and will battle through intense action sequences in an unpredictable, shape-shifting battlefield, aided by the mysterious acrobatic Filena.
"In addition to single player campaign, Quantum Theory also supports four modes of online multiplayer, complete with voice chat for real-time communication."
We've got some new shots for you, too. Fans of Epic's shooter may see some slight similarities.

Unapologetic Gears clone, but I think it looks like a fun game. Faster movements and over-the-op melee attacks may actually make this game more enjoyable to me. Whenever I play Gears, I feel like I'm trying to move under water.

UK Quantum Theory date no longer theoretical
(http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2010/01/quantum-dated.jpg)
Good news for fans of openly derivative third-person shooters, as Koei Tecmo has confirmed a UK release date for Quantum Theory. The gory shooter, which features brown landscapes, beefy characters, bloody explosions and is not Gears of War 3, will hit UK shelves beginning March 26, according to CVG. Similarities to Gears of War aside, the game had its own set of problems when we got our hands on it at the Tokyo Game Show last year. Here's hoping the kinks are ironed out by release. After all, the most important thing is that it's fun, right?
Sadly, the opinions of some of my trusted podcasters that got early hands-on access have very little nice to say.
It's a shame. I really wanted to like this game. If the reviews of the final release are not horrible, I'll probably still pick it up used. But I will not be preordering.
what if they offer you some pre-order bonuses neato ... like a small puppy?
