E3: Watch "The Dark Sorcerer," Quantic Dream's 12-minute PS4 demo Quantic Dream, the developer behind "Beyond Two Souls" and "Heavy Rain," has released the full-length version of its 12-minute PlayStation 4 tech demo "The Dark Sorcerer." A teaser for the video was shown during Sony's media event Monday for the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) in Los Angeles. The short film was created to show off the technological and graphic capabilities of Sony's next-generation PS4 console. The comedic video features a wizard and his goblin minion who are revealed to be actors on a green-screen set. Game enthusiasts may recognize the sorcerer character from Sony's first PS4 media event in February, during which Quantic Dream founder and game director David Cage used the character's expressive face to illustrate 3-D depth of field and other advancements. "The Dark Sorcerer" film is a stand-alone project and is not taken from any game in development. Quantic Dream released a similar video titled "Kara" at last year's Game Developer's Conference (GDC 2012), but that one took an emotional approach rather than a satirical one. The seven-minute concept film (watch it below) followed the construction of a robotic woman. "Kara" was widely praised, not only for its visuals but for its ability to engage viewers on an emotional level - something game critics note is often lacking in the medium. E3, the largest video game conference in the world, continues through Thursday as some 45,000 game developers, journalists and industry professionals gather at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
