In an interview with the Eurogamer website, David Cage and Quantic Dream have revealed their latest underaking designed to support their next Playstation 3 game. As a tech demo in the vein of the company's The Casting (a precursor to Heavy Rain), "Kara" shows off the developer's latest engine and motion-capturing techniques.
"There were many things that we couldn't do on the old engine, so we decided to build a new one from scratch," said Cage regarding the project.
Cage goes on to describe the need for the company to construct an entirely new motion-capture studio that puts their latest capturing techniques on par with the likes of James Cameron's Avatar and Tintin.
"Heavy Rain was shot with 28 cameras, and we've upgraded the studio to 65 cameras. Now we can shoot several actors - their body and their face - at the same time," said Cage.
The Kara tech demo was made about a year ago according to Cage, and he offers no specific information about their future project other than saying, "It's for people expecting something else from gaming than just fun and adrenaline."
