Project KARA - Quantum Dream

"Kara, a disturbing short film about a self-aware robot, was made by games studio Quantic Dream to demonstrate the "expressive power" of the PS3's graphics. In order to sidestep the limitations of animating human characters (the so-called, contentious "uncanny valley"), the creators made a story about a newborn, intelligent robot -- a character that is supposed to be subtly unconvincing in its humanity." (BoingBoing.net)



Wow.

  2. A game with such animations would be mind blowing!!!! I hope to see such a game made for PS3!

    1. Thanks for the comment, Anon!

      Yeah, I would love to see that too, but I can only imagine what you'd have to pay to get a system that could run that for actual gameplay (rather than just fancy cut scenes).
