David Cage On Kara: “We Can Have An Open World With The Same Quality”

TSA:
Kara’s impressive, sure, but when the tech demo was first shown off, most assumed that it looked so good because the environment was so contained, so small.

[faysal]

WHAT!!!!!!!!! im stuned....

[pangitkqb]

If this is true, I would love to see it. Good things :D

[faysal]

tbh after seeing all the ps3 exclusive, im not surprised that this is possible.

[lastdual]

I don't doubt that Quantic Dream has some talented designers, but it really depends on what Cage means by "the same quality".

At what resolution and frame rate? With how many NPCs on screen at once? With what degree of physics enabled? Etc.

No amount of programming wizardry will erase the fact that hardware does have limits. To make such things possible, there have to be sacrifices somewhere along the line.

Love to see this as a PS4 launch title. Speaking of which, what franchises do you think will make the launch?

[faysal]

@lastdual
ofcurse ps3 has limits...
to make a amazing game you need an amazing story and plots which will entertain you through out the whole game.. it do not need tons of people on sreen and 60+ fps to be a good game... if that was the case then 90% of the games that came out for this gen console are unplayable and useless.

to me a game has to have a good story,plots,entertainment and playable FPS, people do not NEED 60fps to play or enjoy games.
it all comes down to fun factor.

@faysal

What you're saying basically reinforces my point - that "quality" can mean different things to different people and in different contexts. Thus, people should probably stay realistic with what they draw from Cage's statement.

[F7U12]

sorry dude but I'll believe it when I see it.

[piroh]

nothing new here, we already know David is a genius

[mayberry]

Infamous 1/2 has awesome visuals for being open world games, so I can see that it is very possible to do it. So when cage says " According to David Cage the fidelity isn’t related to the confined gameplay space “in any way”. "“We can have an open world with the same quality,” he said, although don’t take this to mean Quantic Dream’s next game will be an open world one."

[Jio]

Well...Time to start getting excited for their next game

[Bosna1]

yeah sure... on ps4 yeah.. damn devs like to hype shit.

[faysal]

@bosna1 i think you are the troll who disliked every ones comments.

if you actually read the article David Cage said " maybe i will demonstrate is soon"

soo i think he aint hyping a false statement, he is stating the FACT.

[Incipio]

Developers lie about, hype or misrepresent things all the time.

I remember reading a Game Informer exclusive interview with Infinity Ward when they made Call of Duty 4. They stated that even the grass was going to be animated and would move and blow in the wind.

But did that happen? Nah. They couldn't even make good on a promise of non-static grass.

Bottom line - I don't trust devs' statements until I play a beta or a finished product.

[faysal]

yep they do lie, i didnt say they dont...

but in this case he said he can show it to us and i belive him after seeing heavy rain and kara...

and grass do blow on wind in cod4 not on multiplayer tho...

[Bosna1]

Faysal sounds like if David Cage said "suck my ...." you would.

[come_at_me_bro]

But is it powerful enough to fix plot holes and bad writing?

[Virtual_Reality]

If don't have a clue...the Plot Holes of Heavy Rain are already explained.

[come_at_me_bro]

This doesn't mean anything, the plot holes are still in the product. If anything, this shows how lazily slapped together the story was in the final build.

[smashcrashbash]

Is their a time limit to stop b***hing and moaning about the plot? Give David Cage a break for God sake. Lots of games have worst plot lines and worst writing and no one ever acknowledges it.Write a plot and story that sounds like an 8 year old wrote it and everyone eats it up and accepts it. Try to write something more complex and with some intrigue and depth and people never get off your back about it and are suddenly English teachers and Literature geniuses. Just give it up already.Why don't people go nag anyone else to fix all the crap stories and plot lines they $hit out all the time?

[come_at_me_bro]

There's a few faults in your thinking. One, stop playing the lowest common denominator card. Cool, there are other bad stories in games. I know. Heavy Rain is no deeper than an episode of Law and Order. If you think Law and Order is deep and complex, up your standards. Secondly, Heavy Rain is a game entirely about story. Gameplay is in the backseat, most games are about gameplay. David Cage dubbing it an "interactive drama" should tip you off that the story is a central focus. There's no excuse for Heavy Rain's plot holes and bad writing, period. I'm happy for you that you enjoy Heavy Rain and David Cage's work, I truly am, but if you're going to flip your wig every time someone criticizes them, you need to have a healthier relationship with the things you like.

[360GamerFG]

I'll believe it when I see it. It's easy to talk but ps3 can't run skyrim without choking and now you want to tell me this? Ha!

[violents]

thats bethesda's fault not the ps3's. and it ran like shit on almost everything until it was patched. stop trolling.

[Perjoss]

You're right, 99% of the time when things go wrong its human error and not the fault of the hardware, but in the past the PS3 has proven to be a hardrer to develop for with gamers often complaining about low frame rates and in some cases the 360 version of the same game being displayed at a higher resolution (and better frame rate).

[violents]

i agree, because of the unique architecture of the cell processors the ps3 is excedingly hard to design for. But now everyone is getting the hang of it pretty good and we are seeing some excellent quality in some of the big AAA titles. And given that i have seen plenty of developers come out with high quality work on a ps3 i dont think bethesda should have and excuse to have game after game be buggy.

[Virtual_Reality]

While other 3rd Party devs already proved they can deliver without any excuses a flawless product for PS3. Bethesda is somehow incompetent, let's not forget the massive glitches, bugs and bad performance for each platform.

[tarbis]

Skyrim runs like shit on the pc too. Does that mean all high end pcs are shit too?

[Zynga]

Yeah okay whatever! And please don't tell me infamous is an exception because that game is static completely. Until I see a game that looks like uncharted in open world and what skyrim does at the same time. Otherwise quit the trolling david cage.

[FFXI101]

Really? Cause it sounds to me, you are the one that's trolling.
