Preceding Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream released a now-famous video titled “The Casting” to demonstrate its detailed motion-capture and facial animation technology. This year at GDC, they’ve unveiled “Kara,” a demo of their brand new tech that is, to put it bluntly, leaps and bounds above what they’ve ever shown before. A scanned model of actress Valorie Curry provides an incredibly believable and nuanced performance in a trailer that it feels appropriate to call “compelling” and possibly even “moving.”
Wherever Quantic Dream goes from here, it’s bound to be interesting. By Shelby Reiches |
