Tonight, Sony held its annual conference since Consumer Electronics Show. Well, the announcements made by Kenichiro Yoshida at this CES 2024 were nothing very exciting for fans of PlayStation. Well, unless you like big numbers, since 123 million users were active in December 2023or that you are a car fan, because the car Afeela developed with Honda can be controlled by DualSense… Well, it’s just a technological demonstration, but given the submarine affair last year, there is reason to laugh and find it totally useless. This at least brings back memories for fans of Men in Black 2. On the side of the 7th art, the feature film Zelda which will be produced by Sony Pictures Entertainment should be “an incredible story of adventure and discovery”, while writing series God of War (Amazon Prime) And Horizon: Zero Dawn (Netflix) is in progress. In short, nothing concrete at the moment. On the other hand, a much more interesting video was released :
Sony thus presented Torch lightdescribed as a “revolutionary visualization space” combining the firm’s andEpic Games via theUnreal Engine to create digital scenes before a shoot to allow filmmakers to visualize their ideas by merging filming on set with performance capture in a virtual environment. It is impressive and it is in this context that were shown some insights into the creation of the feature film Gravity Rush.
Given what was said just before in the video, we should probably see this as a prototype, simple ideas transposed into this space, at least we hope so, because the disappointment is already immense among the fans. Indeed, the character a priori supposed to be the heroine Kate doesn’t look like anything, especially in terms of his outfiteven though these are digital effects since we then see how this scene of jumping into the void was achieved with the motion capture. Sony clearly should have shown nothing, especially by not giving any explanation.
Finally, this is the license Patapon who made a brief appearance, without us knowing exactly what is behind “IP development gaming / anime”. After a few seconds showing the confrontation against the Manboth of Patapon 2 in fashion Fever, it was a short sequence in a completely different art style that depicted this same fight. The passage just after with commentary from Alex Locasale talking about a testing ground for the tools of the R&D department of Sony Doesn’t help to know what it is. Whether a game, a series or an animated film is in the works, it is in any case certain that Patapon is not forgotteneven if Hiroyuki Kotani almost moved on with Ratatan.
If you want to discover the games Gravity Rush Or Pataponyou can go for a walk around the PlayStation Store. Cards PSN are for sale on Amazon if necessary.
