News: Indigo Prophecy dev plans to use the full power of the Cell.

Sony Worldwide Studios and developer Quantic Dream (the guys behind 2005's Indigo Prophecy) have announced they will collaborate on an exclusive game for the PlayStation 3.

Michael Denny, Vice President, SCE Worldwide Studios, said: УWe're really excited to be working with Quantic Dream for the first time and to have this opportunity to once again push the gaming experience to realise a new level of interactivity and, in particular, to engage players at an emotional level never experienced before. We're looking forward to revealing more news on this special title later this year.Ф

David Cage, Founder, President and CEO of Quantic Dream, said, УWe always believed that Уnext generationФ meant more meaningful content based on players' emotional involvement. To us, PS3 is the only platform that can truly deliver on this promise, and SCE WWS is a group that is both inspiring and pleasant to work with.Ф

Both parties have said that we'll learn more about the game "soon" (code for next week at E3).

While the press release left the title unnamed, it is likely Heavy Rain, a game that was on display at E3 2006 running on PS3 hardware and touted as Quantic Dream's next project. The game was described as a pseudo-followup to Indigo Prophecy.

But I guess we'll learn the real truth about the game "soon."
