| shio said: I really don't understand why Sony made a deal with Quantic Dream. QD just develops adventures, a genre practically nonexistent except on PC and DS, and they only made 2 games (both not million-sellers). Maybe Sony is trying to get Quantic Dream's motion capture tech, but if that was the case then why not go for Crytek's Cry Engine 2 instead? |
One of the things I love about Sony is their support for small, niche titles. Just look how much freedom they give Fumito Ueda's team (Team ICO). Ico didn't sell well at all, yet they game him ample time and money to make Shadow of the Colossus. That sold decently, but far from spectacular, and it seems they're giving him a hell of a lot of time (and presumably money) for his ps3 project.
QD may not produce multi-million selling blockbusters, but they do create unique, and (so far) high quality titles, and I guess Sony isn't afraid to fund them, much like how they snatched of Media Molecule and LittleBigPlanet.
Of course, the fact that the game IS being published by Sony leads me to believe that it will get a marketing budget the likes of which QD has never before seen, similar to how LBP is already being shown in tv ads months before release.
