[PS3] Sony releases a new trailer for their intriguing PSN title, Rain

[PS3] Sony releases a new trailer for their intriguing PSN title, Rain

Sony's Japan Studio have been on the ball this generation; they've successfully manage to create a number of hits and their latest effort looks like it'll be shaping up the same.

Rain is an adventure game that will be made available via the PlayStation Network this Autumn and stars an invisible boy who can only be noticed when rain helps outline his body. Thankfully, the city seems to have no shortage of rain. Yeah, I know it sounds weird but maybe this new trailer that Sony released today will help shed some light on this project.

So, what do you think? Is it too pretentious for you? Or does it hold enough charm to get it over the line?

[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.
