Heavy Rain developer: PlayStation 4 is a “really, really powerful machine”
Quantic Dream, developers of Heavy Rain and the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls for the PS3, recently commented on the PlayStation 4 console and its hardware. Studio boss David Cage said that not only is the PlayStation 4 a “really, really powerful machine”, but that they have been working on it for 2 years now.
Back in February, Quantic Dream’s David Cage showed off some of their new facial animation technology (the old man seen above), which showed the level of detail possible.
In a recent interview, Cage added that the French developer had been working on the PlayStation 4 for two years now, and that they can see the huge possibilities after two years of programming on it.
However, Cage also offered a word of caution. No matter how powerful the PlayStation 4 console is, he pointed out that it’s just a tool. Better graphics won’t necessarily make for better games. He said:
“The technology is a tool. It’s not because you have better tech that suddenly you will create something much more meaningful and interesting”
Quantic Dreams is putting the finishing touches on Beyond: Two Souls for the PS3, and is working on abrand new PlayStation 4 project as well.
