Casey Lynch: ''As the sun set on the rusted haze of the Las Vegas skyline, the first day of DICE 2013 came to a close. All day long, leaders, pioneers and mavericks from the interactive entertainment industry took to the stage – then to the barstools – to discuss what’s next in video games.
We sat down with David Cage, CEO of Quantic Dream, to talk about the future of the business and more. Here’s what he told IGN.''
Ruliweb interviewed Quantic Dream CEO David Cage at G-Star 2022.
From Eurogamer: "David Cage has responded to allegations of unhealthy studio culture and inappropriate behaviour at Quantic Dream, which he previously described as a "smear campaign".
Published in this month's Edge Magazine, Cage discusses in depth the company culture of the studio and denies a lack of humility in its response to allegations.
"I don't think we had an aggressive attitude," he said. "When you're accused of things that go against everything you believe in, everything you've done in your life, it hurts. It went beyond just attacking the studio culture."
Hasn’t this been a story for years now ? Doesn’t seem like anything changed or they have some very upset workers who lie for a long time ? Seems like it isn’t the latter .
The people who use words like “unhealthy culture” are usually mentally ill themselves. Not saying it’s not true, just sayin.
Lol just saying. The last person I want to hear about “healthy culture” from is the people who use those words. Ususlly some kind of identity theory-ism. Commie talk.
I’m getting some disagrees so let me elaborate and try to change your mind.
Do you want to hear about healthy culture from people who celebrate fatness or put kids on puberty blockers as a few examples? That’s the kind of people who say shit like that and they are the most destructive force I’ve ever seen in my life when it comes to culture. Easily.
When you say culture what do you mean? The very core, right? The soul. QD is rotten to the very core and it needs to be replaced. With what? Ask whoever is using that term. I’m sure they have an idea. And I’d bet money their idea of healthy culture is ass backwards and not profitable lol.
Another example. I just saw a Kellogg ad that said “Food Justice for black communities”. They think they can trigger black folks into buying cereal with words like justice lol. They might be right, who knows. I laugh at shit like that though because I see right through these idiots.
TLDR:
Some people use words to communicate. “Shitty work environment”
Some people use words to manipulate. “Unhealthy culture” “Food justice”

Sites like Kotaku have been crapping on Cage for a long time now, to the point where I'm suspicious of if he has earned the bad rep he has. Go read Kotaku's review of Detroit, I recall it being borderline unprofessional.
Cage has confessed he has no plans for Heavy Rain 2, but fans have been quite vocal about their love for the game. Perhaps now that the PlayStation 5 is revolutionising the gaming landscape, we might get a proper sequel to one of the best games David Cage has ever made.
No need. Heavy Rain was incredible as it was. Detroit Become Human was the next evolution. I do think they should continue with a new story but perhaps something less dark drama. I think it would be really cool to do something lighter with humor. The fantasy demo they showed off was pretty cool. If Kara became a full game, that would be great too!
Yes. Kara became Detroit. Also the job interview trailer demo back in 2007/8 became Heavy Rain. There was also a video about an actor who was portraying a dark sorcerer. I think that could be something too. I was saying since Kara did become a game, then their newer demo trailer could have too.

- On rumors that next-gen consoles won’t play used games
'Maybe it is, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s more about explaining and about telling people who really love games that if they buy used games, there will be a day where there won’t be any new games at all.'
Boo hoo. You won't get to spend all day motion capturing your 'actors' instead of actually making a game. Well, that's really sad.
-On how much games cost
'Games are probably too expensive right now. I hope to see the price points decrease quickly on the next gen cycle. This is also a difficult situation because I see the game budgets get higher and higher because we’re trying to make better games, and the production value gets higher and higher. This is why they take more money to be made.'
More like you're trying to make games that aren't games. You want to make a game that is like a film, but don't have the expertise to do either. That's why it's so expensive, and also why the gaming industry is suffering in some areas, trying to be something you are not.
That's how I read it. Let me know how you read it. I will get disagreed with to high heaven, but that's how I feel on David Cage.
!!!!!!!!!!!!! Daivd's confirmed PS4 development! Awesome Singularity's going to be it's home! sorry David you shouldn't have said
'We are really committed to work on PlayStation 3 and the FUTURE CONSOLE!' Shot yourself in the foot there bud.
