I remember Cage saying their next game would be multiplatform, but this video is presented by Sony. What changed or is it just the tech demo that Sony paid for and their next game is still multiplatform?


He never said it was multi plat, 2 years ago he did an interview and mentioned about possibly expanding his audience. Then last year he did another interview and confirmed his next project was a Sony exclusive.

Oh. Well I'm always surprised when independently owned 3rd party companies do exclusive games. It's like choosing not to take what amounts to free money. At this point doing PS3/Xbox 360 games is pretty easy so there's no real reason to do an exclusive unless Sony paid as much as they would make from the Xbox 360. Especially considering the PS3 and Xbox 360 have about the same graphical ability and multiple discs can easily stand in for the blu-ray format. Then there's the Wii U which should be even easier to port to considering its superior hardware capabilities and large disc format.

It's just my opinion that it's just good business for 3rd party companies to leave no viable platform unused. The PS3 and Xbox 360 each only have half the HD market so releasing on only one is like forgoing half your profit.

I need new pants. I love Quantic Dream. I hope this tech demo is part of the game plot, it's too good an idea to just throw away.

I believe Sony funded Heavy Rain, so having a publisher as big as Sony fund the project and then promote and advertise it is a very strong incentive to stay exclusive I'd imagine.

QD also make rather risky projects, in the sense that they aren't traditional games in a strong selling genre, so it might be hard to convince other publishers to readily jump aboard. Sony have a history of experimenting and allowing projects to run for years, so it may well be a good mix for the two companies.

I'm pretty sure Sony pays for development, as they are the publisher as well. Before Heavy Rain became a success this studio appeared very risky with their unique games and long development time - I'm assuming they needed Sony before and feel comfortable with them going forward to try more unique and still a bit risky games.

The video was really cool to watch and well made for sure... not exactly an uncommon story though.
