Quantum Break is the debut Xbox One game from Alan Wake studio Remedy.

The actions and choices you make will impact other players, and the clip opened with a young girl showing a woman horrific visions of destruction.

There was then some fleeting shots of bullet time gunplay between soldiers and other people. It was short and showed very little, but it sounds like an interesting concept.

With such a beefed up amount of technology under the hood, and the inclusion of a Blu-Ray player, its got to be considerably higher than the current 360 right?

Well, retailer Zavvi may have just dropped the bombshell, sending out a mail shot offering the chance to pre-order with no need for a deposit, which adds some legitimacy to the supposed price as the PS4 has hinted at no price point forcing retailers to take deposits.
