Quantic Dream has managed the impressive feat of keeping its upcoming PS4 exclusive game pretty much a secret since its existence was mentioned two years ago. Yet, the wait might be coming to an end.
Quantic Dream are set to offering hands-on opportunities at PAX East 2024, but which game it will be has not yet been revealed.
Quantic Dream has announced a new publishing label, Spotlight, following the reveal of debut title Under the Waves.
Interesting to see how this works out for them. QD have had a very lucrative partnership with Sony. David Cage is a household name among Playstation owners, and he might not have been if QD stuck with Atari as their publisher. Now they're launching Spotlight so they can circumvent Sony exclusivity? I imagine this isn't the last we'll hear from Spotlight.
Can’t wait for all those quicktime events and bash-you-with-boredom storytelling.
From GI.biz: "Today, Quantic Dream embarks on a new chapter as it is brought into the fold of NetEase – the Chinese publisher's first European acquisition.
Over the past quarter of a century, the French studio has built a reputation for itself on the back of cinematic titles such as Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human. While these games may divide opinion among individual gamers, generally speaking they have been well received by critics and praised for attempting something different when it comes to interactive storytelling.
The high profile of these games, and the studio's long-running partnership with PlayStation, put Quantic Dream on the map – to the point where co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière (pictured above left) tells GamesIndustry.biz the company has engaged in acquisition discussions with several potential buyers over its lifetime."
I guess another company that will be restricted on what they can and can't say by the Chinese govmt
infinite supply of fried rice?, I kid I kid, most probably cash ?, retirement? running out of ideas, who knows.
Well I wrote a big post on this but somehow it deleted from the stupid glitching advertisement on this site. Does any bodies screen jump around as the advertisement changes up. Just asking.
As for the Chinese buying up game companies. What’s one way to monitor people and behaviors? Through the gaming analytics they get from people playing. I really believe they are trying to manipulate the world as much as possible. Remember the bird nest at their first Olympics. Their Vision of the world all neatly tied up for them.. I know it’s a stretch, but either the Chinese government has a lot of Gamers, or something else is going on behind the scenes.
Well it's certainly about time and it better be at least as good as Heavy Rain.
E3 jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaason
Please be Project Kara come to a full game even though that was denied
I hate that QD games are QTE. I hope it does good with reviews once released...
I liked beyond 2 souls and Heavy rain was great!
Nice. I'm excited to see what they have been working on. Hopefully E3 but most likely Paris Games Week or PSX
I look forward to seeing what they come up with for PS4. I loved Heavy Rain, which is one of my favourite PS3 exclusives!
Beyond wasn't as good as HR, but I still enjoyed it.
