GR - "The change isn't due to a massive outcry, Cage stating that the control in Heavy Rain received very positive feedback despite the initial assumption from critics that the Dragon's Lair-esque gameplay would turn players off."
IGN:
"On IGN's weekly PlayStation show, Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Brian Altano and Max Scoville discuss all the latest Death Stranding gameplay, the hint of more Last of Us Part 2 news to come, and much more."
Quantic Dream founder and CEO David Cage has been at the forefront of bringing emotion to interactive entertainment. He’s spent his life, thus far, building new technology that allows him to bring memorable stories to life that put the player front and center. Unlike many games, Quantic Dream titles constantly challenge gamers to make important decisions, and these decisions take both an emotional toll on the player and spin the narrative into new directions.
Cage, who wowed the game industry at GDC last year with his short film, Kara, and again at E3 a few months later with his new PlayStation 3 game, Beyond: Two Souls, starring Ellen Page; was on stage at PlayStation Meeting 2013 to show what PlayStation 4 adds to his ultimate quest to bring as much depth and emotion to games as Hollywood has experienced.
NowGamer: "Say what you like about David Cage, there's no faulting his passion for pushing the games industry forward..."
So true. I love games like that but I'm also a fan of fun and creative games that doesn't need a gun.
Quite a few people I offered them to play a game like Uncharted, and they wouldn't play it because you have to fire a gun. I thought it was silly that they wouldn't even play it but that's the truth.
Looking forward to Beyond 2 Souls, I played Heavy Rain and kill everyone on my first playthrough.
I don't know, there are some scenes in Heavy Rain that are pretty violent and designed to get your adrenaline up. Maybe he means specific kinds of violence?
Well let us hope that David Cage can pull off a coherent story driven game this time around. Heavy Rain was a mess of plot holes and unanswered questions. I sure hope he hired a writer/writers for this game and not penned it himself..
can't wait
Sounds very interesting. Read a more in depth version here:

Can't wait for Beyond.
Loved Heavy Rain, there's nothing like it on the market.
Cool, HR was kinda clumsy to control. Really looking forward to this.
Definitely one of my day 1 purchases this year. I loved indigo prophecy and heavy rain. GOW Ascension and Bioshock Infinite in March, TLOU in May. Great start for gaming this year.
