Today Q-Games Engine Technology Director James McLaren held a presentation at CEDEC in Japan, showcasing the innovative tech behind the upcoming PS4 exclusive The Tomorrow Children.
Among many interesting elements McLaren showcased how the PS4′s Async Compute technology allows the studio to save over five milliseconds in an effects-heavy frame.
The Tomorrow Children is going to be a one-time purchase game now after the decision of Q-Games goes through.
I enjoyed this game and was sad to see it go. It’s strange and satisfying all at once. I look forward to playing it again.
From GI.biz: "Towards the tail end of 2021, Q-Games accomplished something very rare in this industry: it had reclaimed its intellectual property, specifically for PS4 exclusive The Tomorrow Children.
In the announcement tweet, the Japan-based company described it as "a historical move by Sony Interactive Entertainment" and it's hard to argue with that. The game was originally published as a second-party title, funded by PlayStation, and it's typical for the platform holder to retain the IP rights in such a partnership."
Lost PlayStation exclusive The Tomorrow Children will return, after its developer regained the rights in a rare deal with Sony.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I AMMMMMMM!!!! We are a small group, but we fans of TTC were so heartbroken when the game shut down. We always talk with them on Twitter about how much the game meant to us and how much we missed it. It really is a dream come true to have it come back, I absolutely cannot wait to be in the world again. I hope lots of new people join in on the weirdness and enjoy the incredible atmosphere of the game. Also praying for a PC version where I think it will really shine.
A friend of mine used to love this game. Might be time to see what the fuss was all about!
Colin moriarty, last stand media recently had a interview with TTC and mentioned about getting control back of the ip.
Good interview and worth the watch, TTC want to go f2p with MT which will support a hardcore fan base
I knew this was happening in the background but never thought it would actually happen. This is great news for the fans of the game.
It was a neat little game/experience.
This was an extremely unique game. Please make this on next gen with RT it will shine with that plastic pladough look
So it actually had an early form of ray tracing called voxel cone tracing, the developer calls it. I'm not a big tech guy so I don't exactly what it means but he's explained it a bit on twitter and the discord. And you can totally tell just by looking at the game and comparing it to the ray tracing games today, I just never really knew what ray tracing was at the time so I wouldn't have picked up on it. But now they at least have the chance to improve upon it, maybe add more advanced RT or something. Potentially make it 4k and HDR, 60fps etc. All the good stuff I hope to see!
Cool I always wanted to play this but by the time end checked it out it was getting shut down . I’ll give it a fo this time around
Very interesting tech right here. Using GPU to bypass the limitations of the CPU.
I love reading about compute.
Wish he could trim a bit off Jenson's laptimes as well ☺
That's actually a lot. Awesome!
most stuff i ever done with computers was hack into Robco computers....
