Quantic Dream talking to class A actors for Heavy Rain |
Ó
After a sound ruckus over Quantic Dreams' The Casting trailer back in E3 2006, little else was heard about Heavy Rain. But a recent interview with the studio's co-founder, Guillaume de Fondaumière, revealed that progress was going steady for the Sony PlayStation 3-exclusive title, especially on the technology front.
"In the past the limit was the technology. In the production of our next title what we're discussing with Sony, is not 'does it look good?' but 'is the actor right?'" said de Fondaumière.
He claimed that though critics of The Casting showing claimed Quantic Dream still had much work ahead of them, the studio has finally hit the point where they can accurately portray emotions through acting the way Hollywood's best actors would want to look when acting. He later explained:
Today, it's very different. We're talking with class A actors. These Hollywood actors are asking us about the scenario and the stories as the technical aspects are taken care of. We've been able to demonstrate that we're capable of portraying the performance. They are asking, "what's the subject matter, what's the role?"
But as they've been freely touting Heavy Rain's engine to a class-A acting lineup, Quantic Dream couldn't relay their works to fans just yet. "That's something now that Sony is controlling," he added, though he was certain that in the future the "right" time to show off the PS3-exclusive technology would come.
Heavy Rain would be Quantic Dream's third attempt to stray from the mainstream and lay down another milestone for the developer studio in ambitious game design. And because Sony continues to grant the necessary freedom and support to the developers behind Indigo Prophecy and Omikron: The Nomad Soul, this is slowly becoming a solid reason why a gamer must have a Sony PlayStation 3 in the near future - hey, it's something different for a change.

Omikron Soul and Indigo Prophecy. I can't wait for this title. I was already impressed with the first technical demo, I can't imagine how far they've gotten since then.
I don't think i've ever played a better game than Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit. The acting was outstanding and the storyline were like nothing i've ever seen before. It totally blowed me away!
I have Omikron too, but for some strange reason, i've never played it. But if it turns out to hold the same standards as Fahrenheit, i belive i will be stuck with the game for several weeks. :)
In the matter of this game... oh man... this game are going to rock so god damn hard!
Go QuanticDream!!! !
