Man, I'd heard this game was a Gears clone, but I had no idea just how much of a knockoff it was. This is MUCH closer to Gears than, say, Uncharted is, or SC: Conviction is, or Killzone 2 is. Those all had a cover system, but Quantum Theory has THE EXACT SAME system as Gears of War.

Obviously, some of that just comes from the fact that this is an Unreal Engine 3 game, and the protagonist looks like a rejected version of Marcus Fenix. And they use the exact same animations for sprinting, taking cover, mantling over cover, etc. And the exact same controls (oh, wait, they have a different button for dodging). And you make the same sound when you run and take cover. And the pop-up shooting is identical.

I mean, it's more colorful than Gears. And it has that weird melee system that's impossible to understand from playing the demo. But it's still staggeringly close to Gears, although it's much, much floatier and the incidental dialogue is (somehow) even dumber. Really surprising.

Okay, so, then, a question is: How do you prove that you've relinquished all access to the original copy that you've now sold on? With FSD, when you've sold a book or a DVD, we can be reasonably sure that you no longer have that book or that DVD, but it's a little trickier with DLC.

Mine just came today. Came with the Future Soldier beta key. It doesn't seem to have the "Digging in the Ashes" comic book, though, and I'm not sure how the credit card USB thing is supposed to work.

The thing is, did anyone actually see or enjoy Fool's Gold?
