"If you consider Heavy Rain to be one of your favourite titles, then you’ll no doubt be interested to know what Quantic Dream is going to develop next. I certainly am!"
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.
Weren’t QD bought buy Tencent, and if so then I’m sure there wouldn’t be anymore Sony exclusivity.
Ok it seems to have been NetEase that bought them back in 2022.
this is not a Sony exclusivity. you can clearly see Xbox One Xbox Series X ps4 ps5
Funny you mention that because in a few Diablo 4 articles, Xbox was the only console that was tagged. It didn't tag playstation or PC and Diablo 4 is a multiplatform game
Bro they had a 3-game contract with Sony. That ended with Detroit. They've haven't been working together since then, so they aren't circumventing anything. They have no obligation to Sony.
Didn’t they show a Star Wars fake at a Sony event?
I might be wrong about that, but I feel like that’s where I saw if.
I don't think so. There some sources claiming Sony was not happy with their partnership at the end, they even canceled a project that was supposed to be the 4th ps exclusive from QD.

Can’t wait for all those quicktime events and bash-you-with-boredom storytelling.
There's nothing wrong with QTE's. Never understood the hate for them. You press a single button to attack in most games. You press a single button to jump in most games. Why does it then become an issue when you press a button during a cutscene to do something?
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
China will be writing the Quantic Dream scripts from here on out.
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.
Yeah.
It's freaking annoying.
Typing a thought out comment you made on the fly then, bam, you're in an ad and it's gone.
I mean, there's an ad in virtually every square inch of this site. Can I at least make a comment without worrying it's just going to be yeeted out of existence at the last few words?
What ever David Cage makes, I'll be there. He is a brilliant man.
I'm excited.
looking forward to their next project
