Heavy Rain aangekondigd
David Cage, oprichter van Quantic Dream:
"Our objective was to recreate not only the likeness of a living actor, but its complete acting performance, in particular in its emotional dimension. At Quantic Dream, we believe that emotion will be a key component of Next Gen games and we are heavily investing in technologies to create Virtual Actors since several years. By expanding the range of emotions video games have to offer, they will be able to reach a far wider audience. This demo is just the beginning of what can be achieved, but I hope it already shows the fascinating new possibilities this media will offer in the coming years".
De demo zal het volgende laten zien:
- Full motion capture van lichaam en gezicht, inclusief ogen, pupillen en tong;
- Real-time tranen;
- Real-time rimpels;
- Geavanceerde kleurschakeringen van de huid;
- Geavanceerde rendering waaronder Depth of Field, Spherical Harmonics, en High Dynamic Range).
Over Heavy Rain is verder nog niet veel bekend. Quantic Dream belooft diepgaande emoties en innovatieve gameplay, ontwikkeld voor next-gen consoles en PC.
