“We Are Only Limited by Our Imagination” – David Cage on PS4

by on February 21, 2013
 

French auteur David Cage, designer of Heavy Rain and Beyond, calls Playstation 4 an emotional console.

The designer talked about the evolution of emotion in film, talking about the increased fidelity that every technological upgrade brought with it from black and white to modern day.

This was then likened to game evolution through the ages, referring to the increase in character detail and the enhanced emotion that comes with it.

This was followed by a glimpse of this enhanced detail with a very impressive face render of a old wrinkly chap. Because old wrinkly faces show more graphics.

Prophetic French potato Cage went on to say that the enhanced power of the PS4 means that him and fellow designers can “forget technology limitations and just focus on creating what we want to create.”

It was a hugely impressive render – aside from the hair net – and a great indication as to the power of the PS4, and just what that power can mean for the storytelling in its games.

If writing ability was a flavour, I would be the warming embrace of apple and cinnamon - wonderfully familiar and pleasantly spiced. Ever the optimist, I spend most of my game time diligently failing at fighting games (BlazBlue and Persona 4 Arena being the preferred titles), Monster Hunter and Dark Souls. As you can surely ascertain from such preferences I'm a gamer at my most content when a title is punishing me, abusing my feeble abilities and forcing me to improve myself in order to overcome life affirming challenges. Feel free to question my opinions and such on Twitter, @Dalagonash, or find me on every gaming network available as Dalagonash.
