I, Robot: David Cage on Kara, why PS3′s not done yet

VG247- Quantic Dream boss David Cage marches to the beat of his own drum. OK, that’s a tremendous understatement. He takes the drum, meticulously re-forges it in his own image, and then uses it to launch a precision missile strike on gamers’ tear ducts. Sure, he may goof up from time-to-time (see: Fahrenheit’s entire final act), but his company takes chances that’d drive other triple-A developers to immediately pick up the phone and tearfully tell their piggy banks how much they love them.

So then, what’s Quantic Dream’s next big investor nightmare? For now, Cage and co are keeping things under wraps. However, during a recent GDC session, Cage gave fans a tiny, tech-flavored taste of what’s ahead with the undeniably impressive “Kara” demo.

Prcko4858d ago

best tech is only possible on ps3 system!

DG904858d ago

He means console wise... As this is a console related article.

StrongMan4858d ago

You won't find any of Quantic Dream's masterpieces on PC. Sorry.

fear884858d ago

Something I just noticed about this tech demo, its in a very small environment. Look. Its about the size of an average living room. I know the PS3 has great processing power but I would like to see a similar tech demo in a larger environment. This kind of has me worried about the lack of ram. Sure it looks fantastic but at what cost to actual game design?

I'm sure it is one way or another, but I hope the so called "tech demo" is actually a little more and somehow a "tester" for whatever they have in development.

One of only a few devs who actively try and create something new and unusual. It's not what I want from all of gaming, just makes for a nice change of pace every now and then.

Tech wise, I wasn't overly impressed, nothing jaw dropping, but the emotion left its mark, and that's just as important an the number of pixels, sometimes ;)

I agree, there was nothing ground-breaking about that demo in technical terms, at least not to the naked eye (which is what counts, really).

However, the cinematic presentation was excellent in terms of what videogames have achieved thus far.

But to be honest, it was just a cinematic. There was no gameplay shown. I can't get excited about that, especially if they're not really going to be working on a title that would follow this demo directly. If all you're interested in is cinematics, then go make or watch a movie. I mean it's not like Kara's behaviour was in any way dynamic or randomly generated; they sat an actor down and essentially recorded a performance. It's nice to be able to show facial expressions and such like that, but in the midst of heated gameplay they would largely go unnoticed.

Games aren't movies, and I don't like the idea of turning them into glorified "choose your own adventure" stories/movies.

Redempteur4858d ago

LA NOIRE tried to make part of the actor performance into teh gameplay and it mostly worked .. i fail to see how going further is a bad thing

We should all enjoy that someone try to blur teh lines between medias in such a way ( la noire & kara )

jp_footy24858d ago

PS3 graphics are awesome. Honestly, some games like Uncharted 3 don't leave me desiring much more. I'm happy with the PS3 until 2014/15.

gazgriff2k124858d ago

i agree that a few ps3 games are graphically better than anything on 360. but you have to spend time and money optimizing the game engines to get UC3 level graphics. and theirs room left for more optimizing on ps3. but the small split memory is killing the ps3 at the mo. haven't even brought skyrim yet because of all the issues waiting for patch 1.5. the ps3 could do with a memory upgrade if sony are really waiting till 2014 to lunch ps4. and as for the we dont need next gen yet 64 player 60 frames per second battlefield 3 says hello.

Why Quantic Dream’s QTEs May Be Perfect for Star Wars Eclipse’s Gameplay

Star Wars Eclipse will be an 'action-adventure' game and yet how Quantic Dream approaches consequence-heavy QTEs need not be abandoned recklessly.

This has been my most anticipated Star Wars game in years. Can't wait to see what they have done.

P_Bomb158d ago

I like the accessibility option in recent games like Dying Light 2 and RE4, where you can simply hold a QTE button instead of spamming like a madman. 😌

got_dam157d ago

I thought this was canceled.

Terry_B157d ago

Nope..they just revealed it way too early, said already at the reveal it will be released in years

Miacosa157d ago

Wow, blast from the past thought this was canceled.

shinoff2183315d ago

I didn't teakize quantic dream was still around.

CrimsonWing69315d ago

Why is it taking so long for this game to come out?

ChasterMies315d ago

The departure of the lead writer likely means the story is done. The trailer for this game is amazing. Hope it comes out soon.

Yes, that's Kara in season 4 of The Boys

Been watching season 4 of The Boys and find Firecracker's face familiar? As a gamer, where you know her from might surprise you.

I did have one of those "where do I know her from...?" feelings.
It's funny how a different hair style changes a person. I saw some pictures of her with short or blond hair and it made me remember Kara, but making her a redhead AND with long hair, just bugged my brain.
Here's hoping her character survives until the end of the show (even though her character is a horrible person).

just_looken373d ago

No doubt homelander will get pissed and show her his appreciation.

Episode 3 i was expecting a bitch slap death but it never happened he was zoned out then.

Would it not buy the boys still comedy she fight's back with that lame finger snap power he is like bitch really then just takes her out with one hit LOL

Detroit: Become Superhuman

bloop372d ago

Thank you. Couldn't remember who Kara was and was too lazy to open article.

Tankbusta40373d ago

The only image from the show in my mind is the multiplying dudes eating each others butts in the sauna

VariantAEC373d ago

Valorie Curry is her name... not sure why that's not even in the short summary. Why is this gaming news though?

ZeekQuattro372d ago

I couldn't for the life of me remember what I remembered her from and then I saw The Tick in her acting credits. That's why she looked so familiar. I loved that short lived Amazon show.
