[GDC'12, PS3] Quantic Dream's intriguing 'Kara' tech demo for PlayStation 3

[GDC'12, PS3] Quantic Dream's intriguing 'Kara' tech demo for PlayStation 3
Quantic Dream have made a name for themselves, especially thanks to 2010's brillian PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain and also thanks to the PlayStation 2 & original Xbox title Fahrenheit. Well, Cage and his crazy gang were up to their usual antics over at GDC this week as they showcased a new tech demo constructed on Sony's console with Cage announcing that the believes they can still squeeze more out of it.
This tech demo is not necessarily from Quantic Dream's next game, the developer has been sure to reinforce that point but it is worth remembering that the 'audition' tech demo prior to Heavy Rain definitely had its own part to play.

Quantic Dream has also been talking about the fact that they are quite open to being purchased by Sony if they were to make an offer. But at the same time, Cage insists that it isn't directly focused on the money involved. In an interview with IGN he said, "What matters to us is 'what is the project, what is the long-term vision, do we share common vision for the studio?'... What could be the vision for the studio. And if all this makes sense, then yeah, why not join Sony or another partner. We're open to all options."

What do you think? It makes sense for Sony to make their mark official on Quantic Dream, their next project will no doubt generate a significant amount of hype but at the same time Sony seem to have them in a pretty comfortable position without making it official. Either way, Cage is pretty determined that Quantic Dream's development is staying exclusive to PS3 at this point in time.

[PS3] Quantic Dream plan on staying Sony exclusive for now

[PS3] Quantic Dream plan on staying Sony exclusive for now
What? Another Quantic Dream story? You'll get over it. David Cage has been letting his mouth run a bit wild lately and this new story is really more of that same scenario.

David Cage now says that Quantic Dream fully intends to stay loyal to Sony's PlayStation 3. It is worth noting that Quantic Dream is still an independent studio, but is choosing to stay exclusive to Sony's platform of choice for an undisclosed amount of time. Cage's loyalty comes from Sony's incredibly generous support for their most recent title, Heavy Rain, with marketing and funding.

"The relationship on Heavy Rain has been fantastic," David Cage said to CVG. "They trusted us from day one, supported us all the way through. It was really a very risky project [for them] and they never let us down."

"Being a part of a company with what are probably the best studios in the world is something really pleasant for us. We're happy to continue this relationship and create content for the PlayStation brand. But they fund our projects, so we're staying exclusive to PlayStation."

He wouldn't confirm whether or not Quantic Dream shared tech with Sony's internal studios but he did say that they often have regular conversations with the folks at Naughty Dog, Media Molecule, Santa Monica and Guerilla Games.

Do you think this is a smart move on Cage's behalf? Is his loyalty admirable in a world where exclusives can sway a potential customers choice? Or is it foolhardy?
