Whatever Happened To The Dark Sorcerer?

Quantic Dream impressed everyone with this tech demo back at E3 2013 but since then, we haven't heard much about it. Maybe fresh news this year...?

It was just a tech demo, probably has very little to do with Quantic Dreams actual PS4 game

johndoe112113708d ago (Edited 3708d ago )

You know what's hilarious? Neither Sony nor quantic dream ever said this was a game or a future game. That Idea was placed in everyones head by game sites creating rumours and pandering for clicks. Now, they're gonna start criticising Sony for not developing a game they said was a tech demo in the first place in order to create more clicks. Where will it end?

BitbyDeath3708d ago

Yep, just a tech demo.
As was "The Casting" and "Kara".

AngelicIceDiamond3708d ago

@John Eactly. It was just a tech demo showcasing the level of detail and graphics the PS4 will be able to pull off.

The Killzone, Drive Club and Order 1886, Infamous Second Son is only the beginning of what PS4 will pull off, graphically.

Quantic Dreams game will make you question reality itself when they show off their new project.

Thantalas3707d ago

Sony and Quantic Dreams repeatedly said, on stage and in interviews, that it was not a game but purely a demo.

bouzebbal3707d ago (Edited 3707d ago )

GOD!!! it's unbelievable how ignorant media is..
when did quantic dream ever say this is taken from a game?
We have FF7 remake syndrom all over again.. people hype things by lying so keep believing. And even if this gets released, same trolls will call it movie not a game.
tech demo and game aren't necessary the same thing. i'm still waiting for FF6 on N64

repeat after me: TECH....DEMO

@BitbyDeath

Well, "The Casting" used a character and environments from Heavy Rain and they casted for a production called "Heavy Rain", so that's not really much of an example.

But yes, they apparently did the same with Kara.

Nothing, that just was a tech-demo

Summons753707d ago

Funny how they say that in the article too but then rant about them not talking about it. People REALLY need to learn what a tech demo is. Too many times have they shown off a tech demo and people think it's a game: Final Fantasy 7 HD, Final Fantasy 8 ps2, The Zelda tech demo, now this. It just shows the incompetence of some people. This is exactly what we've been saying when they showed off the new zelda and people went "What about the other Zelda you guys announced" and Final Fantasy 7 "Why announce a HD remake of Final Fantasy 7 of you won't make it". Tech-demos are tech-demos, nothing more.

Iltapalanyymi3708d ago

This is like, the third time i see an article like this.

no, its not a game, its a tech demo.

Viryu3708d ago

Tech-demo or not, I kinda liked the idea if it were a game.

MasterCornholio3708d ago

He quit his job.

Thats what happened to the dark sorcerer.

Loved the demo. Hopefully it turn into a final product.

DarkOcelet3748d ago

This and Kara demo deserves a full game but i really loved the humor in this demo too. It was well done.

aCasualGamer3747d ago

Can't believe they didn't capitalize on that Kara demo.

What a work of art.

Imagine a full fledged game with PS4 hardware.

llMurcielagoll3747d ago

Agreed, it was a hilarious tech demo. I'd love to see this become a final product and contains a strong sense of humor which I find in very few games these days.

nX3748d ago

Yeah, that's some quality stuff, can't wait to see ehat they've been working on since Beyond:Two Souls.

WitWolfy3748d ago

Will prob only see something from them mid 2016 if we're lucky...

mayberry3748d ago

Impressive to say the least!

5 PS4 games that would cause pandemonium at the PS Experience

PSU writes:

"The PlayStation Experience is nearly upon us. Here's 5 games that would cause outright pandemonium at Sony's event if they were to show up."

scark923801d ago

Umm, I do not think the Dark Sorcerer is an actual game but it is just a tech demo itself just like KARA was..

I am surprised you mention this game but not The Last Guardian!? or Agent?

TheLyonKing3801d ago (Edited 3801d ago )

Last guardian
shenmue hd collection
kh timed exclusive or ff 15 timetimed
Squares new rpg exclusive
half life 3 exclusive

These are things that cause pandemonium. Those said in the article will just make people happy.

DigitalRaptor3801d ago

Uncharted 4 gameplay still would. But I agree with your list.

A Shenmue announcement would send me into a fit of absolute joy!

Quantic Dream’s New PS4 Game to Include “Monsters;” Is it The Dark Sorcerer or Something Else?

It's known by now that Quantic Dream is working on a new PS4 game, and today the developer posted a new career opportunity ad seeking a Senior 3D animator. The interesting part is that it mentions working on the animation of monsters.

I want it to be Sorcerer and filled with Monsters!! LOL

Whatever it turns out to be, you just know It's gonna be awesome. It's Quantic Dream, they know how to make PS systems sing!

Edit

@robtion

Kara would be even more awesome, but I fear it may forever be a wonderful demo ;/

afterMoth4020d ago

Will this new game actually have gameplay this time?

porkChop4020d ago

Kara seemed far more interesting than any of their other games. I would have loved to see that turned into a full game.

Army_of_Darkness4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

I hope their next game doesn't have quick time events anymore... getting tired of semi-controlling my character... Give me full control as this sorcerer so I can destroy those monsters anyway I prefer :-)
I hope they use horror elements too.

isa_scout4020d ago

If it's not Kara I'm going to be extremely disappointed. That one short preview had more emotion and character depth than most retail games. Amazing.

Abriael4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

I was pretty surprised too. Dark Sorcerer notwithstanding, monsters are really the last thing I'd expect from QD.

then I remembered that they did do a game in the long past with monsters: Omikron: The Nomad Soul

candy_mafia4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

Yup on the Dreamcast, starring legend David Bowie!

It's cool how David Cage can attract these high calibre people to star in his games :)

Edit

@Kurisu

I played Beyond last night on my PS3. It looks so good it wouldn't look out of place on PS4! Awesome visuals on PS3.

MONOLITHICIDE4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

There are monsters in Beyond two souls. Dont want to spoil it for anyone. So thats all ill say about that. And I have to say Quantic Dream should do some type of horror story because there are some intense moments in Beyond that are pure creepy.

Moe-Gunz4020d ago

Indigo Prophecy had a lot of monsters, angels, etc.

Kurisu4020d ago

Can't wait to see what QD bring to PS4. Beyond: Two Souls looked amazing on PS3, so can only imagine what this will look like. I hope the story is more constructive than Beyonds though, it was a bit lacking in that compartment compared to Heavy Rain.

robtion4020d ago

Beyond two souls was just mind bogglingly amazing to look at at times. The underwater scenes and in the snow really stood out to me. Their ps4 game should be something pretty special ;)

Magicite4019d ago

Ive just recently got Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls, cant wait to play. Even my friend who is devoted xbox fanboy, loves both games.

Lionalliance4020d ago

I do hope Yoshida clearly told David Cage what were the problems with Beyond: Two Souls

BlakHavoc4020d ago

You mean the fact that it's not a game! Lol im sorry but i'd like to PLAY my games not watch and press a button from time to time.

Silly gameAr4020d ago

You clearly haven't played Heavy Rain or Beyond 2 Souls.

GarrusVakarian4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

Why is there always one dude who has to make a trolling comment like this? We can't just go one article without a troll in the comment section.

You may not like QD's style of game, but that's exactly what they are, games. Deal with it.

Sevir4020d ago

Beyond 2 souls is every bit a game as is some of these small indie games on iOS. so stop trolling!

I will admit though that while Beyond is a visual stunner, Its narrative is falls all over the place and is quite inconsistent... I particularly didn't enjoy the fact that the choices didn't effect the out come, even though their were multiple choices presented throughout the narrative... This was much better realized in Heavy Rain.

I'll agree the gameplay mechanics were better in this but story wasn't as powerful in Beyond... and I'm a cage fan... Heavy Rain is by far his best work from a narrative stand point. Beyond 2 Souls is his most graphically astounding retail game.

I'm looking forward to this PS4 game especially with the fact that He's admitted that the writing of Beyond suffered due to him being the sole writer and editor. This next game has 4 writers, 1 of which has written an award winning Novel, Cage himself and 2 holywood writers who has written some great fiction and screenplay. They haven't disclosed who they are but This was the mentioned in an interview for Beyond:Two Souls during it's launch week by Quantic's Second founder.

BlakHavoc4020d ago

Ok, my bad. I'd like to apologize, I don't like QD's games and I guess since this is an article about QD's upcoming title I shouldn't have commented negatively to spite others. My bad fellow gamers, game on! No sarcasm intended

Conzul4020d ago

Beyond suffered from being too easy, an area that Heavy Rain more than excelled at.

Good game otherwise.

Veneno4020d ago

Lions comment wasn't trolling. Heavy Rain was flawed but triumphed in its plot and visuals. A triumph overall.

2 Souls was visually wonderful but everything else was deeply flawed. Although the voice acting was excellent.

Quantic Dream can't have another undercooked game.

jivah4019d ago

His games are as much a game as one of those interactive youtube video

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

DigitalRaptor4020d ago

David Cage and Quantic Dream definitely enjoy the supernatural element.

Except Heavy Rain, that was pretty grounded.

WeAreLegion4020d ago

Madison's booty was supernatural.

Bill_Willson_CIA4020d ago

[spoiler don't read]Actually the Ethan's black outs were supernatural stuff(his mind was linked with origami's) but QD cut this explanation out of the final build.

Bill_Willson_CIA4020d ago

@Kurisu JASON! JASOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN!!!

WeAreLegion4020d ago

Oh, I can't wait to see what they do with the PS4. :)

iSpeakTruth__4020d ago

I hope we get to see Kara fight these monsters :)
