Sunday Comics: Dead Island There were tons of people running to get into Games Convention in Leipzig, no literally, tons of em’. Right as they opened the doors hoards of people stampeded through the halls hoping to be the first to get hands on time with the exhibits. James Bonti, Associate Producer for Activision Blizzard took this video footage and was nearly trampled himself. You can also see Crash Bandicoot leading the pack. For your courage, we salute you!
Quantic Worlds has confirmed that there will be a demo of the PS3-exclusive noir-thriller Heavy Rain as well as holding out the tantalising prospect of some downloadable expansions.
Quantic plan to keep the plot under wraps for as long as possible, so the demo is likely to be more about demoing the game engine with content unrelated to the main game and showing off both the subtle ‘emotional’ controls and fine character animations.
Intriguingly, for such a plot-heavy game, Quantic’s David Cage suggested that some DLC might be in the offing. This sounds a bit like slapping an extra plotline onto a film, so you have to hope it is handled with care and doesn’t feel bolted-on.
“This is something it’s really too early to talk about, but it’s definitely a possibility”, Cage told Eurogamer, “You can tell any story with this interface, because it’s entirely contextual”.
