QUANTIC DREAM STAR WARS GAME Takes distances with the style of the house

It is our dear Gautoz National who set fire to the powders a few days ago by revealing that Quantic Dream would be at work on a Star Wars stamped game. Today information comes to expand our colleagues from Kotaku, whose sources confirm and refine the rumor of departure.

Launched by Gautoz, the announcement of the development of a Star Wars game by Quantic Dream was supported in the stride by Tom Henderson, a journalist for Dualshockers, whose sources specify that it would be in construction for 18 months now. Today, Kotaku s turn put his grain of salt. According to its own sources, it would not be a title in the vein of what the studio has used us so far, namely a narrative adventure with branches and uses mainly of contextual actions.

According to the American publication, it would indeed be a jeu of more traditional action, or even an open world with multiplayer elements. Always according to Kotaku, the Montreal studio opened little by the French society, would have a great part to play in the development of this title. The latter has indeed recruited a large number of developers from major studios from the city of Montreal, such as Ubisoft, Eidos or Waner Bros Games. Recruitments whose objective would be to expand the field of expertise of Quantic Dream, according to two former studio employees who preferred to keep anonymity.

The latter finally evoke the difficulties encountered at the beginning of the project. In issue, a owner engine and development tools that would not be adapted to the creation of action and exploration games. One of the two former studio developers also mentions tensions that occurred at the beginning of the creative process, during debates within the team on the balance to be found between gameplay and writing. This could thus explain that production has started only these last months, as Tom Henderson evokes in its article at Dualshockers.
