14 DAY TRIAL // Quantum Break, the upcoming action game for the Xbox One made by Remedy Entertainment will use a special type of destruction technology called Digital Molecular Matter, which should make the whole world behave much more realistically.
Quantum Break is set to deliver an impressive experience exclusive to the Xbox One next year and Microsoft has already confirmed that it's going to blend the actual game with the action from a special TV series that will air alongside it.
Unfortunately, not much else is known, although tech company Pixelux Entertainment has confirmed on its website that Remedy is using its Digital Molecular Matter playback system with Quantum Break.
The special destruction technology will allow the environment in the new game to behave much more realistically.
"DMM is a deformation-based fracture system that simulates the physical properties of any material using finite element analysis. If a structure exists - big or small, dense or thin, floppy or rigid - DMM causes it to react in the same way as dictated by reality.
"For example, wood doesn't simply break along a predetermined seam every time - rather, it bends and splinters into pieces from the point of impact. The same rules apply to any substance imaginable: rubber bends and snaps back into place. Glass shatters. Steel dents and bends. Plastic deforms."
The Digital Molecular Matter technology was already featured in quite a few movies, TV shows, or commercials.
"DMM has played a key role in shaping Quantum Break, our vision of next-gen entertainment. We have been able to simulate complex scenarios on a scale that hasn't been possible before and then allow players experience them in real time. Can't wait to show the world more of what we're able to do!" said Mikko Uromo, tech team lead at Remedy Entertainment.
Expect to hear more about Quantum Break early next year.
