Guys I hope you that "Kara" has nothing todo with Quantic Dreams new game.

We know :) It will be running on the same engine though, which is what Kara is meant to showcase. The new IP will run on the latest version that is.

It's not a PS3 Tech demo to show off the PS3 , what it is a year old demo for their latest engine, if my memory serves me correctly they did a similar thing for heavy rain.



Research shows Video games  help make you smarter, so why am I an idiot

I hope that it will be as successful as Heavy Rain

Not going to bother to write a list. Would take too much time.

If that's really a whole new engine, then they wasted a LOT of time, because graphically it looks like Heavy Rain 1.1 and I'm being generous here. Simply put take the ...10 best looking games of this gen and they already outdo this tech demo. Therefore the only real interesting part on a technical level are indeed the facial animations, that are indeed very good, but overall not better than LA Noire.
To answer CGI's post, LA Noire surely had some graphical problems and the dev team did not put the same kind of work in other areas of animation. Therefore this tech demo basically shows less impressive facial animation mixed with better graphics.

Nope, just the fact that this tech demo has proper AA is enough to outdo almost all console games. Then we have great lighting effects, animations, and a quality character model that doesn't look like a mess of polygons (like ME3's characters do, for a recent example).

Well since you have a PS3, I feel that a lot of PS3 exclusives lack AA. Therefore it might seem THAT much more advanced to you. Lighting effects are a bit better than average. PLENTY of games with better lighting. Character model is nice indeed. Among the best, but also not top tier.

It's a freakin' tech demo. People should say OMGGG SH!T TH@T L00KS AMAZ1NG !!!!1!!1. Instead most of the replies say that it has potential to be a great story.
I also was't impressed by the WiiU tech demo though. Didn't look that advanced to me considering it's a new gen console. Only recent one that got me impressed was the Samarithan tech demo and that was still running with Unreal Engine 3 (newest version though obviously)

You're as transparent as the empty bottle next to me.

well that was creepy, impressive tech
Having 2 plot holes in a 7 min short film is not a good sign tho

Considering their past work, despite plot holes, all is fine right now (especially when this isn't even work from the actual upcoming game).


Complaining about plot holes when it's a only tech demo, without a fully fleshed out story...  

Looking for negative stuff much, eh?

Reasonable observation on his part, just a little misplaced. There does seem to be some unwarranted negativity elsewhere however, but in any case with opinions, you can't please everyone.


Yes, but it seems like some people are just looking to find something negative to say about it. 

Next thing you'll see, people will complain that we weren't shown the reason why KARA ended up a "defect"...

Many people here clearly have no idea what this tech demo's purpose is.

Why didn't they show us why Kara ended up a defect :P haha.


I knew this was going to happen the moment I typed it! =P

Reading some of the negative reactions its Milo all over again. So much hard work and people just like to find the negative point.

and @CGI

it is a tech demo but it is presented as a short film, if they didn't want people to think about the story telling then they shouldn't have added a story to it. 

Anyway it's probably just me being a Science fiction nerd, if it was another genre I probably wouldn't have a problem with it. But when I see Science fiction I guess I just assume that there will be a cerebral level to it, higher than most other genres and I tend to overanalyse. Hell that is half the fun of watching Scifi IMO If it had been presented in a cheesy comedic way I also probably wouldn't have a problem with it ether so that is a testament to the tone if anything. 

Anyway I can be safely ignored, I don't really feel like starting another argument, over a tech demo presented as a scifi short film of all things. Especially something I only really noticed because of the genre and presentation.

 

Oh and was anyone else reminded of that adventure game Cradle?
