David Cage: PS3 still has more potential |
Listed in: News Tags: David Cage, gdc 12, Heavy Rain, kara, Quantic Dream, Sony
David Cage is pretty awesome. He makes games that really push the PS3 and they sell really well. Cage showed off a new tech demo at GDC but still believes more can be extracted from Sony's console, even in it's sixth year of development and no word on any next-gen work from Sony.
With games like Heavy Rain and the amazing Kara video Quantic and Cage showed off at GDC, Cage told GamesIndustry that Sony's hardware has much more to offer. "Much more, to be honest with you. One of the reasons why we didn't show this [Kara video] a year ago was that we had discussions with Sony, and they weren't sure that we were going to show after that was going to look better than Kara. It took us a year to prove what we were going to show was a thousand times better than that," which is good and I just hope Cage is looking further than the PS3 or at least asking 'Sony, hey guys what the hell are we doing next?'
"So we're very far from seeing everything the PS3 can do, it's very powerful hardware. There is still a lot to do with it, people will be surprised." Cage didn't put a number on the power currently being used by games on the PS3. "That's difficult to answer. Developers use the hardware in different ways. We put the focus on very close shots and the lighting is very important to us. Other developers consider what matters the size of the landscape you can display. So different developers have different views of the hardware," he said.
"Personally, I consider it takes two to three games on the same path to really see what you can do with the hardware. The teams discover the hardware, they start to use it. The more it goes, the more you can discover what you can do with it," Cage said about the future of Sony and I wish him the best of luck, just maybe less "Jason!" in your next game.

...everyone knows that you're never obligated to press the button that makes the character say "Jason", right? That's just your weirdo compulsion as a gamer to match every command given to you by the game...

Now, things like Kingdomsof Amalur: Reckoning, doesn't stretch the PS3's Potential, but it's entertaining and and enjoyable.
Killzone 3 was more of a challenge for the PS3, and it features Move Compat and 3D. How many games had those as features. Until now most nea games have them but that wa sone of the first.
I'm sure if people stop making such fuss over what content is being released on what machines (dungeon defenders, they promise so much but don't deliver because of "to much work"). I'm sure if people would stop asking about a 'PS4' and focus on what they have right now, the PS3 is the leading Console and will stay that way for a long time, it takes after it's older wiser brother the PS2. I do hope the PS3's newest sibling, is going to be jsut as fun with games that max out it's potential, can't wait till I get my Vita.
