'The Dark Sorcerer' Demo Shows the Power of PlayStation 4

Dark_sorcerer

Quantic Dream, the company behind the video game "Heavy Rain," has made available the entire PlayStation 4 tech demo shown at the E3 conference

Somewhat unusual for demos of this type, the 12-minute long "Dark Sorcerer" not only has a story with a lot of dialogue — it's actually funny

In a blog post, Quantic Dream's David Cage explains how challenging it was to create a tech demo that also works as a comedy

"Making people feel fear is actually fairly simple. Creep up behind someone without a sound and suddenly shout, and you’ll startle them. Moving people by telling a sad story is more difficult, but if you have a moving story and you tell it the right way, you can manage to move your listeners.The problem with comedy is that you need a good story, pacing, and talented actors in order to get even a smile from your audience," he writes
