If you played Heavy Rain on the PS3 (and their previous outing with Indigo Prophecy on PS2), then you know that Quantic Dream does an amazing job portraying not only a great story with excellent writing, but also exceptional acting and characters to really care about. They revolutionized gaming theory and graphics. When I first played Heavy Rain, I could hardly believe the gorgeous character models and the realistic way they acted and moved – especially when faces displayed emotion.
Well, Quantic has done it again with the short film, Kara, that shows off their new motion capture tech. This new technology will be used in an upcoming and currently un-named project. According to Quantic Dream, this demo movie has nothing to do with the new game being developed. I find that somewhat sad as it presents a great, albeit been-there-done-that storyline, emoted in ways never seen before in a video game.
The video is presented in real time on current technology, PS3, and is slightly NSFW. Enjoy!
