It isn't that surprising to me. Rarely does a console max out the power of an engine. PC's are more likely to max out a developers engine. I mean usually developers make the engines for PC and then port it over to consoles downscaling the games on the consoles. I know this isn't on PC but you get the point.

ArchangelMike3873d ago

Hang on a minute... The Dars Sorceres is Just Beyond's engine ported on Playstation 4...

...Beyond's engine... ported... Playstation 4...

...Beyond... ported... Playstation 4...

OMG! Beyond is going to be ported to the Playstation 4!!!!

That's it I'm cancelling my pre-order and getting the PS4 version of Beyond!!!!!!!

xHeavYx3873d ago

You just Half Lifed Beyond, lol

nick3093873d ago

The engine can be used for more of their games on ps4 just like nd plans to

Ju3873d ago

That's not how QD works. This was a tech demo to explore the PS4 HW with tech at hand, hence the Beyond engine. David Cage stated before that the studio usually ties the game (story) to technology and thus writes a new engine for each game.

This sounds big, but the truth is, if the same team is working on the next game, the engine is most likely an evolution - but with the freedom to start over from scratch, throwing legacies over board. Nice idea ... if you can afford it. QD can, looks like.

It's a surprise to me I wouldn't think that tech demo would be using the Beyond Engine. But, if that's the case it looks amazing.

Alexious3873d ago

Yeah, it's amazing. I can only imagine what they'll do with the full power of PS4.

MWong3873d ago

I have been looking at new footage of BEYOND 2 Souls and the game looks like it could easily be on next-gen.

5h4h4b3873d ago

Amazing. Simply wow. I am eagerly awaiting their ps4 title.

abusador3873d ago

I cant even fathom how good their Ps4 title will look. I thought Heavy Rain was very realistic on ps3 and now they have more power with ps4.

Its a good time to be a gamer!!!!

By the way currently playing

Kz merc (awesome and def. is like a console game. Big homage to kz2, also some Kz sf mixed in in terms of backdrops and locations)

Puppeteer. Great kids game and a solid 80 if i reviewed it. Its actually getting better and better the more i play it so my mark might be higher.

Kingdom Hearts. Only played it for bit because Kz merc kept calling me but the knew HD visuals look bright and nice!!! Allows 1080p native res....

5h4h4b3873d ago

Definitely my friend, its perfect time to be a gamer :)

kaiserfranz3873d ago

Definitely. I hope they create a game out of this tech demo as they usually do, it could be fun to play as the old Wizard.

MasterCornholio3873d ago

Jesus and i thought it was a new engine.

Well then a new engine designed specifically for the PS4 hardware should provide some extremely interesting results.

I cant wait to see more.

:)

I_am_Batman3873d ago

"Jesus and i thought it was a new engine."

Wow. Even Jesus thought it was a new engine?

Heavy Rain was my favorite . Fahrenheit was great too

MadLad516d ago

Eh.

Beyond Two Souls and Detroit were alright for the most part.
They're still making games, so something going decent for them.

Supermassive is definitely beating them in this genre though.

David Cage defends response to allegations of unhealthy studio culture at Quantic Dream

From Eurogamer: "David Cage has responded to allegations of unhealthy studio culture and inappropriate behaviour at Quantic Dream, which he previously described as a "smear campaign".

Published in this month's Edge Magazine, Cage discusses in depth the company culture of the studio and denies a lack of humility in its response to allegations.

"I don't think we had an aggressive attitude," he said. "When you're accused of things that go against everything you believe in, everything you've done in your life, it hurts. It went beyond just attacking the studio culture."

Hasn’t this been a story for years now ? Doesn’t seem like anything changed or they have some very upset workers who lie for a long time ? Seems like it isn’t the latter .

SegaSaturn669618d ago

They should hire Kevin Spacey as a janitor. That would be awesome.

sourOG618d ago

The people who use words like “unhealthy culture” are usually mentally ill themselves. Not saying it’s not true, just sayin.

MadLad618d ago

Interesting comment to make ..

sourOG618d ago

Lol just saying. The last person I want to hear about “healthy culture” from is the people who use those words. Ususlly some kind of identity theory-ism. Commie talk.

jartoon618d ago

Okay... How would a mentally healthy person describe a shitty work environment?

sourOG618d ago

Shitty work environment

sourOG618d ago

I’m getting some disagrees so let me elaborate and try to change your mind.

Do you want to hear about healthy culture from people who celebrate fatness or put kids on puberty blockers as a few examples? That’s the kind of people who say shit like that and they are the most destructive force I’ve ever seen in my life when it comes to culture. Easily.

When you say culture what do you mean? The very core, right? The soul. QD is rotten to the very core and it needs to be replaced. With what? Ask whoever is using that term. I’m sure they have an idea. And I’d bet money their idea of healthy culture is ass backwards and not profitable lol.

Another example. I just saw a Kellogg ad that said “Food Justice for black communities”. They think they can trigger black folks into buying cereal with words like justice lol. They might be right, who knows. I laugh at shit like that though because I see right through these idiots.

TLDR:
Some people use words to communicate. “Shitty work environment”

Some people use words to manipulate. “Unhealthy culture” “Food justice”

Sites like Kotaku have been crapping on Cage for a long time now, to the point where I'm suspicious of if he has earned the bad rep he has. Go read Kotaku's review of Detroit, I recall it being borderline unprofessional.

Heavy Rain 2: Should David Cage Work on a Sequel?

Cage has confessed he has no plans for Heavy Rain 2, but fans have been quite vocal about their love for the game. Perhaps now that the PlayStation 5 is revolutionising the gaming landscape, we might get a proper sequel to one of the best games David Cage has ever made.

If he did it’ll probably be toned way down.

Ninver961d ago

No! Leave the IP alone. It's a classic.

NecrumOddBoy961d ago

No need. Heavy Rain was incredible as it was. Detroit Become Human was the next evolution. I do think they should continue with a new story but perhaps something less dark drama. I think it would be really cool to do something lighter with humor. The fantasy demo they showed off was pretty cool. If Kara became a full game, that would be great too!

smashman98961d ago

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Detroit become Human the full game for kara

NecrumOddBoy961d ago (Edited 961d ago )

Yes. Kara became Detroit. Also the job interview trailer demo back in 2007/8 became Heavy Rain. There was also a video about an actor who was portraying a dark sorcerer. I think that could be something too. I was saying since Kara did become a game, then their newer demo trailer could have too.

smashman98961d ago

Oh ok I misunderstood. I see what u meant now.

Muigi961d ago

Lol I’m actually replaying that now love this and Detroit. Doesn’t need a sequel imo.

Orchard961d ago

No. One of the most boring games I’ve played.
