Company began work on PS4 over two years ago
When I asked Quantic Dream co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière if its upcoming, untitled PlayStation 4 game would be based onBeyond: Two Souls‘engine, I got a response I wasn’t expecting. The developerbegan development on PS4over two years ago — among the first developers to have dev kits — which influenced the technology that would go into buildingBeyond‘s engine.
In other words, Quantic Dream are working backwards, scaling next-gen tech down to PS3 which would explain howBeyondlooks so damn good.
“By exploring the PlayStation 4, we got new ideas and worked very hard to implement them intoBeyond’s engine,” Fondaumière said. “Nevertheless, our PS4 title will run on a new engine.”
Fondaumière didn’t want to go further into detail on the PS4 project, but he did share some interesting details on how production will vastly change on next-gen projects. You can read more about that, here, tomorrow.
