With its release just a few weeks away, many people are learning all they can about the soon-to-be epic game that is Quantum Theory. Quantum Theory is a game that is based around the ever popular third person shooter format. In the game, the world has been reduced to only a few survivors after a war ravaged the world to near nothingness. However, there is a new threat on the horizon that is even more powerful than the weapons used to create the nothingness that few people now call home.

A black substance, known only as Erosion, threatens the existence of the “Cocoon” that people built back up in an effort to reinvent society after apocalypse. Syd, your typical gung ho commando type, is one of the first volunteers to go and attempt to bring down the “Living Tower” that controls Erosion.

At first, this game seems like any other of the run of the mill “end of the world as we know it” games. However, upon closer inspection, one will find that it is anything but typical. The newest game play feature being that you can’t hide for long when it comes to the Tower. Because the Tower is living it only takes time for it to find out where you are and attempt to foil your plan to destroy it by moving your ground cover around.

By most estimates, this game will at least hit it off with the crowd that enjoyed others like it (Silent Hill, Gears of War, etc.), and many people feel that it will bring a whole new crowd into third person shooter games. In any event, the people at Team Tachyon and Tecmo are sure to be commended for their cutting edge ideas and all-together-new game play styling in this not-so-far-fetched futuristic game.
