PS4: The Dark Sorcerer “the minimum quality you can get on the console”

Quantic Dream’s stunning PlayStation 4 demo The Dark Sorcerer is just the beginning of unlocking the hardware’s potential, according to David Cage.

Speaking with TechRadar, Cage said the PS4′s potential is still being unlocked; The Dark Sorcerer is just the start.

“This is basically Beyond’s engine, and we were so excited with what we could achieve. Some people were really impressed with the Dark Sorcerer but this is just the beginning, it’s the minimum quality you can get on the console,” he said.

“It was done with a very small team, a very small amount of time and small resources. Now we have a full team and we hope to make something really impressive.”

Quantic Dream’s new PS4 project has been in the works since mid-2012 and although Sony boss Shuhei Yoshida wasn’t super impressed with Beyond: Two Souls he’s excited for the new game. We think it might be called Singularity but then again we had a lot of crazy theories before Beyond was revealed, too.

The PS4 launches in November. Since developers are still squeezing more power out of the PS3 we can expect the new hardware to really hit its stride in about 45,000 AD.

Thanks, NeoGAF.

mind.blown.

I can't wait to see what comes out of this little box in 4-5 years time. It should be quite impressive.

The fact that Beyond was even possible on PS3 really made me wonder how far PS4 will be able to be pushed.

"“the minimum quality you can get on the console” so.... I would be happy with my PS4 is this was true but somehow I doubt he is exaggerating...

i still think that on both ps4 and xbone that the launch titles are mighty impressive for launch titles.  the "designed with developers in mind" mantra really shows imo. 

well, i'm sure indie's will target graphical quality below this.  maybe he should have said "the minium quality of a AAA game on the console".  what he's really saying is that was done with minimum resources using a last gen engine and it's only going to get better from here.

Yeah, that is Cage saying it Let's just wait, it sounds too much PR too me.

I think for first-party it will be true... now Multiplataforms I have my doubts.

BTW the final games always looked better than the demos released by QD.

beyond looks next gen at times. If that same game was on wii u, people would be saying not possible on current gen! They would have done the same with tlou. heavy rain and beyond looked better than their tech demos when they came out.

have you seen titanfall destiny?
