Quantic Dream, developers of the unsure Heavy Rain, bought the latest motion capture technology from Vicon for its top secret PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive.
The studio has already been installed at Quantic Dream, with the developer hard at work on four month's worth of motion capture for the exclusive title.
"Our objective is to make this media a mainstream entertainment form with high creative expectations," commented Guillaume de Fondaumière, Co-CEO at Quantic Dream.Sony announced the PLAYSTATION 3 project with Quantic Dream in July this year. The developer is also hiring out the new studio to other development teams.
"To do so, we have invented our own format called 'interactive cinema' in which realistic, believable characters play a central role. To us, the only way to reach the level of quality we were targeting for the animation of our characters was to use Vicon motion capture," he said.
"Demand has been immediate and we have actually already started to rent the system to high-profile video game and advertising clients. Our new studio is fully installed and is functioning almost every day either for complex full body or facial captures," added Fondaumière.[Via GamesIndustry]
