| Groundbreaking Title Announced
from semi-official blog Three Speech » GROUNDBREAKING NEW TITLE FOR PLAYSTATION 3 Quote:
Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios has announced it’s collaborating with developer Quantic Dream on a game that will “redefine cinematic realtime entertainment; setting a new benchmark in delivering emotionally compelling experiences to gamers.”
Founded in 1997, French developer Quantic Dream specialises in content rich in interactive and emotive narration. Their best known work, 2005’s Atari-published Fahrenheit (known as Indigo Prophecy in the US and Canada) won awards and acclaim for refreshing the adventure game genre through innovative blending of film and gaming techniques.
Michael Denny, Vice President, SCE Worldwide Studios, said: “We’re really excited to be working with Quantic Dream for the first time and to have this opportunity to once again push the gaming experience to realise a new level of interactivity and, in particular, to engage players at an emotional level never experienced before. We’re looking forward to revealing more news on this special title later this year.”
David Cage, Founder, President and CEO of Quantic Dream, said, “We always believed that “next generation” meant more meaningful content based on players’ emotional involvement. To us, PS3 is the only platform that can truly deliver on this promise, and SCE WWS is a group that is both inspiring and pleasant to work with.”
It’s anticipated that this collaboration will make full use of the power of the Cell Broadband Engine and game development technology in the PS3. We’ll keep you posted.
