Just...amazing.

There's such a strong potential for a very deep story. Simply can't wait to hear more.


I totally agree, but from a tech demo perspective, it is just meh.

It is a good video with great emotions and chances for a great storyline, but it is not an outstanding tech demo to me.


Of course not! It's not running on the 360 after all. ¬_¬

could you please stop this bs. Don't try to label me as a 360 fanboy. If this turns out to be a game, I am 100% interessted in it. The tech behind it just does not seem that impressive to me.


Oh sorry if I noticed you always have something negative to say about anything PS3, even if beforehand, you make sure to say some good things about them.
Unlike what you do on most 360 exclusive threads.

But yeah, it's all just bs. ^^,

I really liked the story being told in the demo, and if the actual game follows the ruff story being told here, then I'll definitely buy it :)

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 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.

Catherine and Heavy Rain have a lot in common. They are both risky niche titles and they are designed for mature audiences. But Catherine is multiplatform and Heavy Rain isn't. Catherine sold better on the PS3, but it still made extra cash on the Xbox 360 for the devs. Money is money and profit is all that matters. Sure Sony may be helping to fund the next  Quantic Dreams game, but they are still independent and could have decided to go multiplatform like they did with Indigo Profacy and Omikron the Nomad Soul. Catherine is just an example. I'm just always amazed when I see a 3r4d party developer choose not to make money on other platforms. The PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and Wii U are all capable of running the exact same game of very high quality. That's four markets with very little effort or investment with today's multiplatform game engines and tools. By releasing on only the PS3 they are cutting themselves down to 1/4 the available platforms and at least half the potential buyers, if not more.

Gears of War, Heavy Rain, Resistance, Splinter Cell Conviction, etc. Wouldn't they have sold even more had they been ported?

Resistance is a a Sony owned franchise..

technically good, but not that impressive.
Story wise it would be very interesting no doubt and I would gladly buy it just like I bought Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) and Heavy Rain.

basically what DirtyP said.

I'm pretty sure I missed the part where I'm supposed to be impressed by this... please wait untill next-gen before releasing your next game Quantic.

You'll be impressed when CGI-Quality's boner hits you in the eye from the other side of the planet.


BEST. POST. EVER.

Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Well, the whole "robot thinking it's alive" thing is pretty much done and dusted, but there was something about this tech demo that really got me. Guess Quantic Dream can do that. Yea, my eyes got glassy.

Meh, it's nothing amazing at all. The tech is barely better than what was shown at the beginning of the generation showing what could be done on the PS3 and it's not that big of a deal it's real time since it's all animations anyways.

I'll be more impressed when someone makes demo's like that that you can actually play with AI, HUD, and everything else that goes into a game.

As for the story, bland and been done too many times. It's overly contrived and even implies the guy that let her go is perfectly fine with her being raped over and over again.

I disagree, since she has awareness and inteligence enough to discern between right and wrong, I'd say she seems fine with being a "sexual slave"
