PS3T: The Quantic Dreams founder outlines his vision of the future.
Quantic Dream are set to offering hands-on opportunities at PAX East 2024, but which game it will be has not yet been revealed.
Quantic Dream has announced a new publishing label, Spotlight, following the reveal of debut title Under the Waves.
Interesting to see how this works out for them. QD have had a very lucrative partnership with Sony. David Cage is a household name among Playstation owners, and he might not have been if QD stuck with Atari as their publisher. Now they're launching Spotlight so they can circumvent Sony exclusivity? I imagine this isn't the last we'll hear from Spotlight.
Can’t wait for all those quicktime events and bash-you-with-boredom storytelling.
From GI.biz: "Today, Quantic Dream embarks on a new chapter as it is brought into the fold of NetEase – the Chinese publisher's first European acquisition.
Over the past quarter of a century, the French studio has built a reputation for itself on the back of cinematic titles such as Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human. While these games may divide opinion among individual gamers, generally speaking they have been well received by critics and praised for attempting something different when it comes to interactive storytelling.
The high profile of these games, and the studio's long-running partnership with PlayStation, put Quantic Dream on the map – to the point where co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière (pictured above left) tells GamesIndustry.biz the company has engaged in acquisition discussions with several potential buyers over its lifetime."
I guess another company that will be restricted on what they can and can't say by the Chinese govmt
infinite supply of fried rice?, I kid I kid, most probably cash ?, retirement? running out of ideas, who knows.
Well I wrote a big post on this but somehow it deleted from the stupid glitching advertisement on this site. Does any bodies screen jump around as the advertisement changes up. Just asking.
As for the Chinese buying up game companies. What’s one way to monitor people and behaviors? Through the gaming analytics they get from people playing. I really believe they are trying to manipulate the world as much as possible. Remember the bird nest at their first Olympics. Their Vision of the world all neatly tied up for them.. I know it’s a stretch, but either the Chinese government has a lot of Gamers, or something else is going on behind the scenes.
I just want to get my hands on the Kara game.
no sir, I don't really think so. just look at the brilliant samaritan demo and how far away from photorealism it is.
but maybe in 20 years or something we could have games "indistinguishable from reality"
I love David Cage. I would seriously move to Paris RIGHT NOW, if it meant I could be even an unpaid intern at Quantic Dream.
read it properly guys and ignore that headline:
“I think the future, the most interesting feature in the next-gen platforms will be meaningful content. Yeah, technology is great and it’s going to get better and better until you reach the stage where you won’t be able to tell the difference between reality and games. We are what, 10 years from that now? Ok.”
he's talking about making games 'meaningful' and simply throws in an arbitrary number of years for when photorealism will hit... he's not saying it 'will' be then, he's just expressing that to put his opinion of 'meaningful' into perspective
