Quantic Dream Displays PS4 Engine
See Full ImageQuantic Dream boss David Cage is all about storytelling and character emotion.
And he has just unveiled a new tech demo that shows off the sheer power of the PS4. The demo featured an old man with white, thinning hair and amazing facial expressions. As Cage said- "We are now limited only by our imagination."
This reminds us a little of QD's "Kara" tech demo that wowed the gaming world some time ago, before the studio's impressive Beyond: Two Souls was announced. Cage explained how character models have gotten so much more detailed over the years, and just how amazingly detailed those models will be on the PS4. There's no doubt that this studio can do some incredible things with Sony's new platform but for now, we're just waiting on Beyond. Whenever they get around to the PS4, we're sure they'll deliver something truly memorable, as they tend to do. We expect nothing less?
There have been multiple examples of the PS4's power so far. Have you seen them all?

I wouldn't expect them to know what they've got for their next project when they haven't finished the current one. It sounded to me like a, "but here's a taste of what is possible!"
It wasn't a full character model that reacts to control, so they wouldn't have been able to say accurately.
I would have liked a real number, too, but I would have been far more upset with inaccuracy.

NO ONE is as good as contradicting themselves as david is!
one day hes condeming the industries obsession with technology, and condeming developers for putting so much emphasis on it.
then the guy turns up to a systems reveal and talks nothing but tech, shows off nothing but facial animation TECHNOLOGY!
hypocrite much?
nah, im not interested in technology, who needs it!

He is excited because of the new levels of emotion it allows him to accomplish. Go watch it again. He regularly points out how the power can allow him to look like he is feeling... when he's sad or happy.
It was truly spoken like a real artist.
