PS3 the most powerful console on the market, says Quantic Dream

  

Some devs want their games on the PlayStation 3, claiming that Sony‘s machine has unparalleled power. Quantic Dream, makers of PS2 game Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy, also believe that the scale of their upcoming title will only be possible on the PS3.

Info on everything Heavy Rain have been sparse since its E3 ’06 display, save a couple of months back when a search for talented folks to fill in some vacancies came up. A few days ago, Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios announced partnership with Quantic Dream to develop a game that will “redefine cinematic realtime entertainment; setting a new benchmark in delivering emotionally compelling experiences to gamers.”

All signs lead to Heavy Rain, but we can only hope. Fortunately, website Overgame.com were able to sit down Quantic Dream’s Guillaume de Fondaumière to squeeze out a few things. 

According to the interview, finding the right moment to reveal the title have proven to be quite difficult. Thus, we won’t be seeing anything on E3, but the game should surface after that. Good thing is, it’s confirmed that Heavy Rain development is going real well.

Of course, the ambitious title with much promise can only be achieved using PS3’s full potential, said Guillaume. Ideas of having a Xbox 360 version of this are currently out of the window, as the devs want to deliver the best experience – porting a game would require compromises, something they don’t want.
