On Thursday 3rd March, a team from Remedy travelled to London for a special community event, which allowed gamers the opportunity to check out the game for themselves before the official release in April. Gamers had a chance of gaining access to the event either by being an O2 member, and being given the chance through the company's reward system, or by a competition hosted on IGN UK.
Below are a collection of impressions, photos and interviews from Remedy's time in London.

Every eye-roll, furrowed brow and facial tic is replicated in so much detail that it often takes your breath away. It feels like Quantum Break has taken the next leap in game graphics, living up to that next-generation level of gaming that Microsoft has been promising.
