I hope they go multiplatform again. Didn't Cage recently hint about them possibly going multiplatform or I just made it up?

according to this article I think they are in talks with sony for funding more games.

Yes yes their talking with Sony, but I recall some kind of statement that hinted about at least a possibility of going multiplatform. Exists such a statement or did I made it up?

They said something along the lines of "Our next game could end up anywhere."

I believe it was a day or two after Heavy Rain launched, and the success of the game probably couldn't be clearly established at that point.

That they're now in talks with Sony and eager to continue a partnership with them shows us that more then likely Sony are happy with first week sales, and QD remaining exclusive this gen to Sony is a possiblity. If their next game is exclusive to the PS3 Sony might even purchase the studio a few years down the line.

This is news worthy.

Yeah, that was it.

I'm not expecting them to go multiplatform, but at least around the time of that statement there was some hope.

I was curious why people thought it was news worthy.  Cause, you know... maybe i missed something. 

To reiterate on what I said earlier (back when you initially posted), this is for the fans. Had it been "real" news, it would have been a news post. The "news" here, is that QD are looking to work with Sony again, which for fans, means that they will have the budget and creative freedom they need to create another great game.

Just in case you missed my first post (or you're simply ignoring it, or whatever)

I don't see a difference when it comes for reasons to post.

It would be like posting that you had a chicken sandwhich. 

There isn't much way to feel about either opinion that's worthy of a reply.

That's just you then, I'm personally glad to know this and it is very much welcome news. Each to his own.



Don't feed the troll. He posted 1000 times in a thread he doesn't care about, what a surprise. Maybe he's a Halo 2 player, MS just closed the server so they have plenty of time on their hands now.

It would be definitely great news for QD and Sony if they work together again. Sony buying QD would be a nice addition after Media Molecule, further increasing the gap in 1st party quality and quantity with Microsoft and its handful of studios.

This gap is already killing the 360 in sales right now, but Sony needs to increase its lead in exclusives further.

Wow, what a comeback, congrats !

Feel free to tell me where I'm trolling when I say it would be a good thing for Sony to buy QD or they have a lead in 1st party exclusives.

Please stay on topic or say nothing.

Uh... if anyone in this thread it trolling... it ain't me.  I'm having an actual conversation with people without actually insulting people.

Believe it or not having a discussion about whether something is worth mentionin IS on topic... since it's talking about the actual topic... and no, I do care about threads were people insult me.

My games collection is pretty fully updated, and I've never actually owned a original Xbox.  In fact, Sony is the only manufactuerer who i've owned ALL of their consoles.  Thanks for adding to my "being accused of being a Micrsoft fanboy though." I'm actually behind on that one.  I've actually been accused of being a Sony fanboy more on this site then anything else.

I just asked a simple question about if this thread was anything more then borderline thread spamming and got attacked for it.

As for it being good for QD if Sony and them worked together or bought them again...

How couldn't that be a good thing?  They just got the time and funds to make a high budget game, with no interference that's selling better then expectations... when all there other games were on track for much less, and were much less expensive to make.  (Therefore less time and jobs, so less pay.)

It would be like asking if you think it'd be a good thing if apple made new kinds of ipods.  Or if Media Molecule should still make games... when they developed a game with like 20 some people that sold millions.  Which was the original point, unless there was a hidden announcment somewhere i was missing.   The only discussion it brings up is stuff everyone was already thinking.  If nobody pointlessly attacked me, this thread would of already been dead, because there really isn't anything to say on the topic... outside of it being a non-topic.

Well, returning to the peace, a comment from Peter Molyneux regarding HEAVY RAIN:

"I recommend anyone who wants to start to see the first glimpses of the future of video games to go out and buy it," Molyneux advocated, before exposing his softer side to the audience. "But, personally, I could not bring myself to play more than 90 minutes, because the world that was there was so dark and so emotionally involving I felt emotionally beaten up."

Pretty interesting comments, though not surprising consider his creative imagination. Just goes to show that some in the industry really do have a knack for innovative properties.

Sony really should hang on to Quantic.

See now THAT is a quote worth posting.  Though, it's actually more off comment then my posts.

Myself I can't look anymore forward to playing heavy rain.  However being nearly fully cinematic in nature I'm waiting for my local blockbusters to have it in so I can rent it and get through 3-4 of the scenarios.

I'm not the kind of perseon who rewatches movies, so i'm probably not the kinda guy who'd get good replay value outta Heavy Rain.  I plan to rent it now, then if I want to play it again, but it when it's discounted to about $20 in stores.



Great news, I hope to see more of their projects in the future on Sony platforms. I still have yet to experience this game but I will. Just not enough time in the day anymore.

Also, another Sony thread derailed. SO when can a Sony fan make a thread about How all of their threads get derailed and destroyed by the other communities on here?
