I hope we didn´t saw the maximum of gameplay we will get.

 

[Valnen]

But what will PCs be capable of in a few years?

Even better stuff obviously, but if you want 60 FPS on that better stuff you'll have to invest a significant amount of money. Also content will actually have to be made with PC in mind for that to matter anyway.

 

[geomon]

 

[Radogol]

I'll take whatever you're selling, but I want less reality in your games. Just go full-on apeshit.

Yep. Each and every David Cage game is a ticket for crazy train and I'm always loving every second of the ride.

 

[Apoc87]

Hopefully there's some actual quality gameplay, not just QTEs

 

[Bald Cleft]

Graphics graphics graphics.

LOL

 

[Jigolo]

Year 3-4 is gonna be cray

 

[jaypah]

I look at that demo and think no fucking way. But it's QD so I believe it. Their next game is going to look ridiculous.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Get the writing sorted David, the tech means nothing without a good story

There was nothing wrong with the writing in the Dark Sorcerer.

His games always start off really good story wise and then everything takes a nose dive. He writes everything right? Maybe he should sit one out.

Gonna go hire a writer to help him out.

Well he did. He already hired two writers to help him out. They are heading the PS4 project and are mentioned in the Special Thanks of Beyond.

These guys better deliver. I just beat beyond and i think sony should let them go

So you liked Heavy Rain, didn't like Beyond (?) and now Sony should let a capable developer go? Why are you always so hyperbolic. Calm down. Sony will want to keep them just for the graphical showcase alone.

The story was good tho

SniperHunter post? SniperHunter post.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

By the look of Killzone Shadow Fall, Deep Down and inFamous Second Son, all of them at the very beginning of the console life, I sure believe at David Cage words.

I am astonished every time I watch the gameplay of those games at high definition, and see how much details they have... specially that amazing use of particles effects! I wasnt waiting that jump of quality at this early stage of next-gen.

Can't wait to see The Order 1886 near its launch day. *-*

 

[Callibretto]

yeah, Dark Sorcerer is so good that I start thinking maybe comedy is Davd Cage true calling lol. I wish he make a comedy for his next game.

 

[Ceadeus]

Oh man I can't believe it. I'm still impressed by the current gen, imagine the next souls game on PS4.

Real time wounds and guts falling from the enemy. Dense fog and little particles of rain and dust.

This gen will be exciting.

 

[dmr87]

Rewatch it here, 800mb+ of 1080p awesome.

[BigDaddyFatSack]

I gotta put myself in a cryogenic chamber until his next game comes out. It's year 2013, there's gotta be one somewhere on this planet.

 

[USC-fan]

Sony first party can work magic with hardware.

 

[DrZeus]

Lets see KARA made into a full game. That was interesting.

This so much. KARA intrigued me to no end. I was sold on her story by the end of the demo. Would love to see what QD could pull off in that universe on PS4.

 

[Rushersauce]

Of course it is the minimum, for movies that act like games, that is.

 

[dragonbane]

After playing Beyond I obviously believe him:

The story was good tho

You are not allowed to say such a thing.

Spoiler

But yeah, the story was perfectly fine.

 

[SlashX]

I hope we get an Omikron spinoff or reboot this time around. I was geniunely hoping for one after seeing that Kara tech demo.

 

[Freshmaker]

Get the writing sorted David, the tech means nothing without a good story

All that tech basically amounted to a Sega CD FMV in terms of authorial content.

 

[dragonbane]

Of course it is the minimum, for movies that act like games, that is.

Oh Beyond has some areas that could easily work with something like shooting mechanics. The engine is capable of rendering big areas and free camera without much problems.

 

[CaptainGyro]

Psshhhh. I bet I can make a worse looking game that David Cage.

You're both amateurs when it comes to minimum quality. I can make a game of even more minimum quality. Here it is:

 

[Rushersauce]

I'll eat my words. Thanks Ricochetguro.

Are these in-game shots?

 

[DR3AM]

Cant wait to see it in the theaters.

 

[mantidor]

small team? small resources?

Not a single indie game will have that level of graphics, I don't know what he means by "small" there, but I can guarantee The Dark Sorcerer demo is not the minimum the PS4 will offer. This is pure PR.

 

[GribbleGrunger]

Are these in-game shots?

Yes.

 

[Chance Hale]

Are these in-game shots?

The second and third ones are the beginning of cutscenes but they use the same assets. The game really looks like that, and honestly those screenshots do it a disservice and look worse than it does in-person. It's the best looking game on the PS3 by far and often times is the best looking game I've ever played. Although of course games like Crysis 3 and the like are more dynamic in their lighting and consistent in their textures.

Game just looks incredible, and given you have move Jodie around like any other game character and can then roam around the location via Aiden it's immensely impressive. A true technical marvel.

Someone link that incredible looking indie game where you play as the robot. Sadly can't think of the title at the moment. 2 person team.

 

[nib95]

Yes.

Dayum.

 

[Faustek]

Bring it on.

Love when first reply nails it.

All of Quantic Dream's games looked better than the tech demos so there's no reason to not believe them. They even proved that the demo was in real time by moving the camera around.

True.

Lets see KARA made into a full game. That was interesting.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking this. They could actually go Japanese Game/Anime/Manga style here and release a movie about it as well. Don't give me anything about Cage's games being movies, they are games.

 

[nbnt]

Well this is how Beyond looks on my PS3

So I wouldn't expect anything less from them.

Huh? What makes you think he's speaking for everyone?

 

[chogidogs]

Great! Only thing missing is a better writer.

 

[dragonfart28]

He meant minimum quality game right?

 

[DirgeExtinction]

Well this is how Beyond looks on my PS3

Huh? What makes you think he's speaking for everyone?

I was wondering. How do you get these shots? Do you search them out? Or screenshot from your PS3(if that's even possible)?

 

[Log4Girlz]

Is it me or is QD the only dev house to get human eyes right? No seriously, I can't think of any other game that has the sheen just right. Human eyes are not perfect spheres and do not reflect light uniformly...they get it right.

 

[vilmer_]

And they'll still implement that punch-1-dude-instant-1-star shit.

I blame the white man.

 

[Tripon]

Beyond looks amazing, but I wonder if the QTE heavy style of gameplay allows it to be so pretty. If Beyond was a normal action shooter, and had to implement scores of enemies attacking you at the same time, etc. The graphical fidelity would suffer for it.

 

[3rdDimension]

Get the writing sorted David, the tech means nothing without a good story

He has to hide behind tech because his stories are just average B-rated movie material.

 

[3rdDimension]

Not only that, but AI routines as well would task the cpu.

 

[GillianSeed79]

Considering how good Beyond looks I'm fine with this.

 

[RoboPlato]

These guys better deliver. I just beat beyond and i think sony should let them go

Sony doesn't own QD. They're just under a three game contract. I'm personally a big fan.

 

[jay]

He is right. We tried making a Pong clone just to test the hardware but when we played it it was the Dark Sorcerer.

 

[cobragt4001]

All of QD games have been nothing but cut scenes though. Not hating on them but when you design a game that's pretty much a cut scene then you can get visuals like that. Until they make a open game like Crysis or Battlefield I won't be impressed.

 

[Kaako]

Jaysus Christo, no way Jose. I doubt that's the "minimum quality" we can get on PS4. Perhaps from QD, yes. But definitely not across the board. Things sound promising so far though,bring it!

 

[Satchel]

All of Quantic Dream's games looked better than the tech demos so.

Actually, none of them did. So there's that.

 

[thunder_snail]

D. Cage minimum quality == maximum quality from other devs.

 

[Night Angel]

Now we just need a video game to put in there.

Knew this would be said.

Can't wait, though. His games ("games?") have been good so far. Bring on dat next gen eye candy!
