Dean, I've caught you lying about your age. No person of my generation would let Doctor Morphin and Doctor Ranger pass without comment.

Qb is in my top 5 games all time. Idc what anyone says, it's a masterpiece. Thanks for covering it

One thing to keep in mind also is that while QB is probably not in the same "universe" as AW/Control, we know that people in the RCU can get glimpses into other worlds (Alan writing about Max Payne, Alan Wake being a video game in QB), so ripples may still reach "across" the universes.

Most people don’t realize that “Mr. Door” in Control as mentioned by Dylan is Martin Hatch or at least a version of him. He is a shifter amd can shift between timelines which can be seen as shifting between realities such as in one timeline/reality Alex Casey being a book character, and in another timeline is a real person. I think Remedy maybe always intended for Quantum Break to be included in the wider Remedyverse and Martin Hatch is that connection. But Microsoft being microsoft wont release the IP so they may have to make a different version of him such as they did with Max Payne renaming him Alex Casey. Mr. Hatch? Mr. Door? Sam Lake thinks like this, and would write the character in a way so people can infer who it is. Door is another name for Hatch and is easy for people to grasp that Martin Hatch is Mr. Door as Dylan even says Mr. Door shifts between realities. Timelines and realities are one in the same in certain conditions. This is the QB connection in Control, but still so many people miss it.

It's amazing how far back this remedy-verse goes.

The fact they didn't make the Morphin and Ranger joke has earned my sub. I'm sure that took a lot of effort. 😌

I feel so sorry for Beth... it's like her entire life and free will was stolen from her by these events.

And that's why I love Remedy ❤️ and that's why I hope someday to see a Quantum Break sequel. Great lore and hidden easter eggs, like the 2 hidden ones about Dylan in Control (the vision when Jesse touches the containment glass room and his hidden hotline call). Absolutely love that 🤩

I think the Ordinary outage and rise in crime might be a reference to This House of Dreams, with Samantha's light switch knocking out power across her neighborhood and getting several break-ins. The timeline would be totally wrong, so I think that's meant as a joke and not a connection.

I feel like it might say something about me that when you talked about the most logical reason for the electrician's political rival dying in a faulty wiring accident, my immediate thought was that he sabotaged the DA's wiring somehow to simultaneously eliminate a rival and advance his agenda of... something to do with electrical wiring regulation.

I'm hoping we'll hear about the "Riverport AWE" in Control 2 and how the FBC managed to contain the damages. I'd imagine they have some kind of tech or a walled-off section of Research that specializes in time anomalies. Better yet, they hire former Monarch employees into that department.

Dr. Morphin and Dr. Ranger. I wonder if there is a third Dr. Mighty somewhere.

The murder committed by Weinz sounds nearly identical to the murder committed by someone you can overhear being interrogated in Max Payne 2. It's just my own head canon, but I like the idea of Max Payne and QB taking place in the same plane of reality.

I'd love a quantum break/control crossover of some sort. Quantum Break was the last Remedy game I played since I found Control first a month or so ago then from there I played Alan Wake then QB and the Alan Wake references in Control were so cool! Imagine if they could give Quantum Break the same treatment? I reckon it would be amazing!

Gotta love Remedy Storytelling!

I had no idea that Quantum Break was so connected to the Remedyverse, it is kind of sad that things got in the way of it being properly included.

the ram statue is in the background of the return trailer?! i- i can't. quantum break my absolute beloved.

It sounds like the third ripples are extra dimension Effects that are tooo "random" for people to notice. But an "higher" Entity might be able to notice. Also. sometimes beings outside of Time can make your Effect your Cause.

@university gamer did you notice the Victorian mirror altered item was shown within quantum break. It's in the library!

I've always liked the idea that going back in time could create a sort of "quantum reroll" effect, where just the act of going back means that events that involve the probabilistic collapse of a quantum wave function have a chance to turn out differently. So it could be that the power outage was caused by something like an errant electron tunneling in a weird way

If they ever tie it up I have no idea how they're gonna deal with Jesse Faden meeting Beth

Absolutely awesome content!! You guys surely put a lot of work into this research. Bravo!

Love the Quantum Break content💪

Love your content and detail/editing to it, bro.

1:00 a minute in and a power rangers reference? Nice

Morphin & Ranger huh, I suspect one was mighty and the other had power. 😂

For me, the power outage was simply caused by the fixed core (and priming the time machine) consuming a tiny bit more energy, or perhaps the oposite. Like, perhaps the broken core caused a higher energy consumption, which prevented an overflow of power to end up in Ordinary, Main, causing this outage. Now with that gone, there was nothing to "syphon off" the energy, causing the outage. Just imagine a small energy network with a light bulb and a toaster attached to the same energy source. Now imagine there being a faulty setup that would cause too much energy to end up in the light bulb, which would break it, but due to the Toaster being plugged in and it using that extra energy, the network is "stable". Unplugging it however (which in this case means stabilizing the core) causes the extra energy to now flow into the bulb, making it burn out. That's how I imagine/explain this cause.

I think you kind of missed the point about the Paul "the punch" part. Not that it makes much difference but with that name paul was definitely a part of the mob and with his political rival dying of electrocution it's hinted that Paul had a part in his demise, not that he died because of a mistake on Paul's replacements end.

Hell yeah! More Quantum Break content please.

Welp… time to go back to quantum break.

i love remedy studios

If these people can see the Quantum Ripples and tell what happens, then these people have to have 5th dimensional travel capability of some sort, like Hatch theoretically. Humans have developed 4th dimensional travel (time) but you would really need to have a 5th dimensional viewpoint to track some of these ripples. You would need a "control" timeline of some sort to be able to tell the action created a surge in the Dairy market for example

Taking a BREAK from Control ay i love this game too i need to get it but i never find The TIME to oh well no RIPPLE effects so it's good. Lol and Drako...I'm not apologising hehe. Respect and keep up the epic work.

Do you ever just do game recaps? So like, if someone doesn't have the time or money to play one of the games you research, they can still make sense of your content? I would love to see just plain full game recaps in your playlists. (Love your content regardless by the way. Big fan!)

5:12 It's fucking crazy that you were right about this shit

One problem I have with this mechanic is that Quantum Break works in a single closed loop, where there is no changing events that have already happened. With that basis, how can they logically document these ripples without another unchanged/un-rippled timeline to compare it up against? How could they possibly know these changes cause events that were already seemingly destined to happen?

The power outage and crime spike are def an awe caused by the ripple right? How is time related though hm. This would have been after the slide awe too I guess, that town can't catch a break huh. I've always thought that when people refer to the FBC in things before control they just messed up the name lol

my theory on the ordinary ripple is that it somehow led to the ordinary incident from Control, or is at least connected somehow to the not mother and the past of jesse and dylan faedn and the plot of control

"Dr. Morphin and Dr. Ranger" My Brain: Mighty morph'in power rangers...

Morphin and Ranger, hmmm Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.

The power outage could just be that a stadium filled with sport fans, cancelled the game because of the outage and a riot broke out.

I like to think that the FBC was originally the FBAWE, but when our boy Alan Wake started writing Jesse Dylan Faden's story, it became the FBC and Jesse Dylan Faden became Jesse AND Dylan Faden

Morphin? Ranger? That's a little on the nose

Or someone else changed the name of the AWE to control. Ripple...or

4:06 RM “”Yeah, it could be an alien!”” TR “”God....”” I can’t be the only one that’s Ben in a situation just like T.R. We know that silent scream.

i'm leaving another comment because i have more thoughts about this. and they are as follows: fuck capitalism man. quantum break is obviously supposed to be a part of the RCU, sam lake's just not allowed to say it because they don't 'own' the game anymore or whatever. doesn't that make you drive up a wall? it certainly does me edit: typo
