Heavy Rain

Quantic Dream is Selling Motion Capture Libraries to Developers

Quantic Dream has announced that it is selling its motion capture data (as seen in Heavy Rain) in library packages to other game developers.

 

The offering will be what Quantic Dream calls "the industry's first high-end, off-the-shelf solution for real-time 3D character animation."

 

Considering they spent nearly a year doing motion capture work on Heavy Rain, it only makes sense to recovering the costs of the enormous project.

 

To quote: Motion Kit Collection Vol 1 will feature 2 motion kit libraries (one for both sexes), each comprising 84 generic motion animations, which totals 2 X 7 linear minutes of animation data.

 

With each humanoid animation captured using Quantic's 28-camera Vicon MX-F40 system, the motions can be used for building motion kits for both playable real-time characters and NPCs. Quantic has said this process will "reduce time and budget outlays for prototyping, pre and full productions."

 

The animation package is available in .fbx format, which are linkable with 3D software pipelines such as MotionBuilder, Maya, 3DS Max or XSI.

 

The animations were recorded at Quantic's Virtual Actor Studio in France.

Heavy Rain Graphic Quality Destroys The PC Gaming Business

For many years the PC gaming market was always considered the ELITE way too play your games. The PC gaming market always had the advantages in terms of going online gaming, upgradable systems, higher resolutions and more. The years of Playstation 2 and Xbox 1 was the beginning of the PC gaming market decline and the rise of the console take over why? because slowly and shortly PC gaming advantages started to disappear.

 

It started with Playstation 2 with the ability to play DVD movies, consoles started gearing up to be more like entertainment boxes for your living room and at that point the gaming market overall really opened up. The Xbox 1 following the introduction of DVD’s built-in a console they also capitalized even stronger featuring a full fledge harddrive in every system and the creation of true console online gaming in the form of XBOX LIVE.

 

These two factors that was introduced to console gaming was also the beginning of another revelation and that’s the decline in the PC gaming market. PC has great advantages Online, Harddrive , and multimedia but those were all acquired by consoles with the combination of Playstation 2 and Xbox 1. PC gaming slowly started getting exploited by these console competitors and the worst to come for PC’s happened in 2005/6 with the launch of Xbox360 and the Playstation 3.

 

The only advantages that PC gaming have now is the open network of development because of customizable machines which keeps PC’s at a maximum performance setting but the catch is the price you pay for that customizable machine with the maximum setting in which brings PC gaming almost to a complete halt why? because PRICE is always a factor and in this situation PC Gaming will soon be such a small market that dreamcast may pop in your mind in terms of results.

 

Sony Playstation 3 is $299 and you can receive graphic quality of this nature along with blu-ray playback, wi-fi, harddrive, internet, online gaming, media servers, and a more sophisticated library of games including exclusives.

 

This video clip alone shows that Heavy Rain’s graphic quality is on par if not better than anything out there including PC. The best looking PC game ever is Crysis and Crysis at maximum settings compared to Heavy Rain is at the same level or higher in favor of the Cell Processored Heavy Rain.

This is the nail in the coffin because crysis at it’s highest settings, the money you will spend on that type of machine will easily be anywhere from one thousand dollars and up whereas the Playstation 3 is $299 and that fact alone during this entire generation cycle. Sony along with Microsoft will destroy the PC gaming business even further, will it die NO! it won’t but it will surely be crippled. Heavy Rain says it all and that Sony exclusive alone is proof that Playstation 3 is the future.

Quantic Dream: We can better Heavy Rain visuals

David Cage believes 'there's plenty of room for improvement'.

 

Speaking to VideoGamer.com at gamescom last week, Quantic Dream CEO and founder David Cage revealed that there's still much more to be seen from the PS3.

 

Asked if his PS3 thriller Heavy Rain was pushing the console as far as it can go, Cage replied:

 

"Well, you need to keep in mind that Heavy Rain is our first title on PS3. It's not the second or third generation of games on the same platform. We've just discovered the platform right now. So yeah, there's plenty of room for improvement I'm sure.

 

He added: "At Quantic Dream we know we can do much better than what we do here."

 

There you have it PS3 fans. You can look forward to visuals that better the almost photo real Heavy Rain.

 

Heavy Rain is currently scheduled for release early 2010.

taigi su ps3 jie gali dar daugiau nei jau padare !!

Vienintelis geras Exclusive ant ps3. Va sito tai visi pavydi. Kolkas geriausiai atrodantis zaidimas. Gaila, jog kurejai nusprende kurti tik ant Ps3. Zinoma jie ir gavo nemazai $ Bet Microsoft galetu isleisti truputi del sio zaidimo.

 

Ar pastebejot, jog tuose screen, veikejai is toli atrodo zymiau "silpniau" negu is arti. Pvz.: tas detektyvas. Arba ta Mergina prie veidrodzio. Zinoma tai tik scree, zaidime to nepamatysime. Zaidimas kuris gali buti Game Of The Year.

Ne į temą

na kai kuriem dalykam tiesiog reikia laaaaabai daug vietos..ir PS3 . nieko blogo nesakau apie x2360 .bet parodyk x360 nauja exclusiva kuris atrodytu taip kaip Heavy Rain, ar kaip Uncharted2, ar Last Guardian ...niekas jiem nemaiso isleist savo blizguciu...prasom ,parodykit. mes nuo to tik dziaugsimes.tikrai niekas niekada nepyks uz grazius ir naujoviskus zaidimus.
