Quantic Dream's "Kara" as a Feminist Statement

GP: "During this year's Game Developers Conference a tech demo created by Quantic Dream was presented. Founder and CEO David Cage wrote and directed the demo which is simply titled 'Kara.' Although it was meant to be a demonstration of what the PS3 is capable of in real time, as well as updated actor capturing, it showcased much more.

The demonstration only runs for about six minutes but in that short span of time it tells quite a story. It shows us a world in the far future where female androids are assembled and sold off as high ticket items. Kara is one such android, but something's a little different with her."

gamepodunk.com? Interesting... I've never heard of them.

Feminist statement? Yeah. I don't think so.

I'm officially blocking gamepodunk.com.

Uhm, I think the author might be reading to much into this.

She is not a woman, she is a robot.

"A computer with arms and legs" to quote the movie." Stop trying to put in subtext which isnt there.

I FIND THE DILDO IS OFFENSIVE TO THE MALE GENDER!!!

helghast1024436d ago

Hahaha, "feminist statement", like hell I'm clicking anything from this site.

"Feminist Statement"

What ... wait, where?

If the character was male it would be exactly the same, the video is about a creature with self-preservation instinct ...
Hell! Even a mouse has it!

Idiotic article.

I can't wait to play some of the games from this year, but the year Detroit comes out, oh man! I want it to be that year already. I love QD's approach to video games.

ApocalypseShadow3019d ago (Edited 3019d ago )

David Cage and team captured my interest since Omikron:Nomad Soul. The fact the team and the actress were able to make me care about Kara in less than five minutes from a tech demo, makes me want the game day one.

Just like the first tech demo of heavy rain with the woman in the kitchen.

Couldn't wait to buy that game after that too. Can't wait to buy this one also.she looks good for a bot. Reminds me of Humans. Seeing their improvements in capture technology is also great.

FallenAngel19843019d ago (Edited 3019d ago )

I really hope Quantic Dreams makes The Dark Sorceror, that tech demo they showed off for the PS4 at E3 2013, into a full fledged videogame. I would love to see this studio produce something very comedic for once. It would be a nice change of pace from all their overly dramatic titles, and diversity is always a great thing on a resume and keeping things fresh.

nRicosS3019d ago

wow, so much improvement. really love the graphic :*

FarEastOrient3019d ago

What surprised me is that the videos are separated by two years.

chrisx3019d ago

The difference is like night and day. Can't wait to go on Kara's adventure with her

The tech demo was shown 3 yrs ago so im pretty sure they've been working on it for a while. I'm really optimistic that the game will release towards the end of next yr.
I fell in love with the character so I'm really looking forward to the closure of her story. Valorie captivated me with her performance so my expectations are high. Modify and keep the fundamental mechanics from heavy rain and give us an amazing presentation like in Beyond and we'll have an amazing experience.

GameHead853109d ago

I agree man, I can't wait either.

Aenea3109d ago

The behind the scenes video of the tech demo is on youtube, auditions and motion capturing started in 2010!

teo723109d ago

I've been hoping they would make this game ever since the Kara tech demo arrived in 2012. The concept is just too good not to make a game out of. Could also become a brilliant motion picture if hollywood ever makes it. And if 27 million youtube plays of the Kara tech demo is anything to go by, I think there is a market for such a movie. But let's not get a head of ourselves here. Game first, and for me at least, day one for sure.

OB1Biker3109d ago

Very excited for this game. Interesting that she says 'I'm one of them and this is OUR story'

S2Killinit3109d ago

Hmmm you are suggesting that there are more of them like her... Plausible, yes, intriguing, yes, planet of the bots anyone? Hell yes

miyamoto3109d ago

I hope David took some notes on the success of Until Dawn and what made it a hit for both hardcore and casual gamers- the game that is massively influenced by his games.

Ck1x3109d ago

I'm pretty sure that most of PS4's sales are to the core gaming audience. $399 is not a price point for a gaming device aimed at casual players (anyone willing to spend $300+ for a gaming device shouldn't be considered a casual gamer).

LAWSON723109d ago

$300 maybe a fair bit of money to some, but for others not really.

miyamoto3108d ago

Eh.......not sure about that coz a lot of mommy friends of mine are coming up to me about buying their 5th graders a PS4 this Christmas.
Asking for the best deals.
