Kara - a dream tech demo

Other David Cage interview.

I thought this was incredible, and I didn't even pay much attention to the tech behind it but simply what was going on. I loved it, and I'm excited to see what comes next from Quantic Dream.

I'm sad that Kara has nothing to do with Quantic Dream's next project.

That's a good way to get around the problem of close enough artifical humans looking like robots - make them actually robots.

They said that about the "casting call" tech demo too. In which a virtual actor read a scene from the then unannounced Heavy Rain.

This tech demo's story is far too fleshed out for just a simple throwaway. You are looking at the blueprints to their next game. Whether they admit it or not.

Oh that Kara.

I thought you were talking about this Kara and I was a little disappointed.

I'm guessing this will fuel their next QTE "game", or more accurately, guided movie. It's a shame you don't see this kind of fidelity in more robust games.

I was very impressed. Let's hope they can transition the quality of this tech demo into a full length game.

@McGhee same here. Although the robo Kara video was pretty great to.

All the sexual overtones in that video creeped me the hell out. When the guy said "Of course you're merchandise, baby," I cringed. Still excited to see Quantic Dream's next title, I loved Heavy Rain, and I hope David Cage gets better at writing and translating his work. His stories are fine for games, but when compared to some of the great dramas written, his work seems kind of juvenile in some spots.

The quality of this short story is pretty damn high in my amateur opinion.

I just want a game made from this concept. It seems pretty awesome.
