Quantic Dream’s Next Gen Engine Began Development Two Years Ago

Destructoid recently got a chance to speak to Quantic Dream boss Guillaume de Fondaumière regarding their as of yet unannounced PlayStation 4 project that is supposedly running on a new engine.

As to whether this game would be based on Beyond: Two Souls’ engine, Fondaumière responded that development for the PS4 began two years ago. Quantic Dream was one of the first devs to receive a dev kit and interestingly, it is the technology they were working on that has influenced Beyond’s engine, rather than the other way around.

“By exploring the PlayStation 4, we got new ideas and worked very hard to implement them into Beyond’s engine. Nevertheless, our PS4 title will run on a new engine.”

That could explain how Beyond: Two Souls looks and moves fundamentally better than Heavy Rain – it’s based off of next gen technology but scaled down to accommodate the PS3. As of now, there aren’t any more details as to what exactly the developer has planned for its first PS4 title but stay tuned for more.

Call of Duty: Ghosts to Feature New Engine According to Updated Retailer Listing

A while ago, online retailer Tesco began carrying listings for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of one Call of DUty: Ghosts. Rumours have been running rampant that Ghosts will be the next Call of Duty game to come from Infinity Ward, and that it will be announced as May begins. Judging from the name – and box art – it will apparently focus on side-character Ghost from Modern Warfare 2.

Now Tesco has updated their online listing for the game and apparently it will also feature a new engine. The description reads, “Call of Duty: Ghosts ushers in the next generation of the franchise, delivering a riveting all-new gameplay experience built on an entirely new story, setting and cast, all powered by a new next-generation Call of Duty engine.”

As of now, there are no other details other than it will arrive for Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360 – heck, we’re even doubtful of the above details. Wait and see, as they say.
