Quantic Dream buys the latest in Motion Capture technology

November 21, 2007 in News comments 6

As many have seen from the "Heavy Rain" tech demonstration done on the PS3 a while back, Quantic Dream is great at motion capture. Well apparently, they have also bought the latest and greatest in Motion Capture for their PS3 exclusive game.

For all those who haven't seen it, here's Heavy Rain:

Acclaimed Fahrenheit developer Quantic Dream has bought the latest motion capture technology from Vicon for its top secret PlayStation 3 exclusive.

The studio has already been installed at Quantic Dream, with the developer hard at work on four month's worth of motion capture for the Sony title.

"Our objective is to make this media a mainstream entertainment form with high creative expectations," commented Guillaume de Fondaumière, Co-CEO at Quantic Dream.

"To do so, we have invented our own format called 'interactive cinema' in which realistic, believable characters play a central role. To us, the only way to reach the level of quality we were targeting for the animation of our characters was to use Vicon motion capture," he said.

    I thought Indigo Prophecy was one of the most underrated games of last generation. The realism alone in the Heavy Rain trailer was enough to get my attention for their new project. I just wish they would say something about the actual game.

    The realism is starting to catch up a lot more and this has just proven that, a great watch I must say though Gameplay is what mainly matter in the end not matter how good this is.

    The motion capture is great, but her face looks unrealistic, and the lip sync is horrible, i guess it could be good if they would keep the motion capture feature ONLY and take care for the lip sync and character designs theirselves.

    The lip sync in the tech demo looks bad because the actress doing it has lisp.
