We can expect nothing less from the creators of Heavy Rain. The current engine being shown is about a year old but it’s an impressive piece of work considering it’s running in real time on the PS3:
Now then, where would this type of story fit in? The Matrix? Blade Runner? Skynet? Astroboy? Whatever the case, the use of the uncanny valley is quite prominent, but the gripping part was when it exited the valley.
Of course by today’s apocalyptic-trend standards, that technician probably just doomed us all.

I was thinking more along the lines of AI[/url] personally. Just replace the women with a kid robot and it seems like almost the same story :P. Also, iRobot[/url] can also fit the bill. Either way, I think the concept translates well into a videogame story.
But, yeah nice graphics and acting there. It could probably pass for a movie :D.
Wow… Quantic Dream never stops impressing me. This is amazing! Although it’s pretty much just heavy rain with robots in it, engine wise ;P Small improvements, I’m not even sure about, but it’s a limited environment so that explains it, if I’m correct.
On the subject of human like robots…brrr… technology should never be allowed to go there. Making robots that look human like that…. That’s scary… Although I guess sex aids are needed 😛 lol
As for the story itself. I’d feel bad but… would you guys ever let this robot get out there in the real world? An AI??? Seriously? lol Worst I’d do would be take it home with me to keep an eye on it.
Sidenote: If we ever get to that point where we do have mass AI production, we’d better install some C4 in their heads, just in case ;P
From watching it with no audio it very much reminds me of Bjork’s All is Full Of Love video by Chris Cunningham.
so much ghost in the shell,
The graphics are superb. The more games with visuals like that, the better!
If Quantic Dream isn’t making a game related to KARA, I’d seriously like to speak with them about their technology, because I have a game about robots that’s half way complete as far as the writing stage. Plus, it’s NOT about robots taking over the world, it’s something totally never seen before. GASP!! Even though I haven’t finished my game design degree yet, keep an eye out for me, Quantic!
