63w ago - Sony Senior Social Media Specialist Sid Shuman has shared a Kara demonstration video trailer below courtesy of Quantic Dream from this year's GDC event.

To quote: Head-turning videogame tech demos are a dime a dozen at Game Developers' Conference, but developer Quantic Dream might have this year's crop beat.

Watch the full tech demo video for "Kara" below to see how the creators of Heavy Rain are looking to expand virtual performances in video games.

And just to be extra clear: No, "Kara" is not Quantic Dream's next game.

Director David Cage was on-hand at GDC to debut the new video to the press, and his presentation touched on the origins of "Kara" - we've selected a few choice quotes below. Check back tomorrow to hear our full interview with Cage on the Official PlayStation Blogcast. It's one interview you won't want to miss!





After Heavy Rain, we wanted to push the envelope in terms of quality, starting with the visuals. We wanted to improve many things - things that were not possible with the Heavy Rain engine. So we had to develop a new engine from scratch.

We also wanted to improve the quality of the acting. With Heavy Rain, we did what many games do - split performances,...

65w ago - Today Lead Designer Peter Porai-Koshits has shared some video footage of the new Wheels of Destruction: Class Warfare Heavy Trailer below for fans.

To quote: Team warfare has been an element of great multiplayer games for a long time.

But as soon as we introduced team multiplayer combat to Wheels of Destruction, we realized that players want to feel like an individual, a dynamic asset on the battlefield, which led us to creating a tried-and-true class-based system. With Wheels of Destruction, our five distinct vehicle classes cater to different multiplayer strategies.

Earlier in the development cycle, considered expanding this concept further still with unique characters. However, that idea ended up on the cutting-room floor for several reasons. When presented with too many choices, players tend to fall into an "analysis paralysis" worse than prom night. Too much time spent "mini-maxing" skill trees can take the player out of what we want to be a fast-paced experience.

You can see the Heavy class in action in our new video below.





When you're playing a single-player game, it's natural to want to make your character your own. But with Wheels of Destruction we're interested in creating...

80w ago - EA Community Manager Coulter Mulligan has posted up a video today revealing the Need for Speed The Run: PS3 Supercars alongside a Michael Bay trailer below.

To quote: We're days away from the release of Need for Speed The Run, the illicit cross-country race from San Francisco to New York in the fastest cars on the planet.

Jack (played by Hollywood actor Sean Faris) finds himself racing against 200 other racers in pursuit of a $25 million cash prize.

In true Michael Bay form, it's jam-packed with action and explosions. What's really neat is that Bay actually took time to get his hands on the game, and talk with our creative team for inspiration.

Speaking of Hollywood, if PlayStation fans haven't seen the new trailer directed by Michael Bay, definitely take a look right now:





If you've already pre-ordered the Limited Edition of the game, then you're entitled to some really slick cars, including the Lamborghini Aventador.

But PS3 players get another bonus: seven supercars! Today, exclusively on the PlayStation.Blog, we are revealing two of these seven cars with in-game screenshots and specs. Which...
