GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley
Heavy Rain
GTTV gets a behind the scenes look at the cinematic PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain. We unveil two never before scenes of this interactive experience. Plus new info about Modern Warfare 2, Gears of War 2 DLC and more.
Heavy Rain director David Cage has said that his upcoming PS3-exclusive would not be able to run on Microsoft's console
When asked if Heavy Rain would be possible on the Xbox 360 Cage told us he "didn't think so," as the game takes specific advantage of the PS3's hardware capabilities.
"I think this game can only be done on Playstation 3," he said. "We used all the SPUs.
"I think to do the visuals, and all the stuff were doing would be too difficult [on the 360]. There are amazing physics there, and stuff with crowds that you just couldnt really get."

Kinda sad to see comments like this being made so far in the generation but whatever. Next week is d-day.~Devil Trigger~ said:
It's an interesting claim. The Alan Wake people said virtually the opposite a few years ago.~Devil Trigger~ said:

High-five. On that note, I hope this supposedly new trailer gets leaked like the Uncharted one and make their "world exclusive" shit that normally appear before each video seem pointless again.CrushDance said:Gametrailers is ******* useless, it used to be quick and clean. Now it's bloated with crappy flash adds, super compressed videos and Xbox boxarts for every game. Gah, I was watching their Rise of the Argonaughts review and the guy says: "An Xbox game..." lol what? So I asked Rich about it and he says: "What's wrong with it?"
These guys have gone downhill in everything. Gamersyde please!
Do you think the technology you bought from Vicon has paid off? Is it delivering to your expectation?
Having an in-house full MoCap system is a rare luxury for a developer. We made this choice seven years ago and we never regretted it. We developed unique techniques, we learnt how to shoot, how to direct actors, we experimented everything we could (from ice skating to walking in a crowd), we learnt how to produce insane amount of high quality animations in an acceptable time frame (and an affordable cost ), which I believe will be one of the strong points of HR. We also invested in our proprietary facial animation technology which will give unprecedented results in a game.
Most of all, we understood that MoCap was the easiest part of the process. The real challenges are about organization and pipelines, directing actors, and how you make your animations and characters fit.
MoCap becomes more and more a strategic technology for developers and for the type of games we create in particular. Depending on someone else for such an important part was just not possible. Also, I guess the cost of the 12 hours of MoCap we had in Fahrenheit would have paid the system, so it was definitely the right choice to buy it instead ;-)
HR will put the bar high regarding animation. It is probably the game using the most animations ever made: we shot for seven months every day, with a total of 50 actors and stuntmen. The final game will feature more than 15 000 unique animations. In the game, almost every single action is unique as everything is contextual.
Fahrenheit delved into some quite fantastical territory will Heavy Rain do the same, or is the story more grounded?
Heavy Rain is about real people in a real world confronted to real problems. No sci-fi, no magic, no supernatural powers. I think our media is now ready for more subtle stories. We dont need to save the world or destroy the evil monster to tell something exciting anymore. I thought I had to in Fahrenheit to make the game spectacular, but I realized that the best part of the game was when it was grounded. It made me realize that reality could be just as exciting as fantasy, and that most people would probably relate more easily to characters and situations that are closer to what they know and who they are.
I just think either a question was posed or these devs obviously know what they're saying. It shouldn't be a big secret of what the PS3 is capable of but the flaunting of it is not really necessary. I think we can all see it for ourselves.thaOwner said:Kinda sad to see comments like this being made so far in the generation but whatever. Next week is d-day.
GQman2121 said:Definitely want to hear more (or anything) about the games actual mechanics. It looks amazing no doubt. But how does it play?
~Devil Trigger~ said:
I guess it's because console games are generally of a much higher quality.jett said:I can't believe this PS3 vs 360 shit still goes on. When a low-end PC assfucks the both of them, who cares?
Y2Kev said:This game must have cost a fortune. Seven months in a mocap studio?
$h@d0w said:Didn't he also say something like - Sony didn't choose us, we chose Sony.
Totobeni said:who own the IP for the game btw ? Sony/SCEE or Quantic Dream ?
