GI:We sat down with Quantic Dream founder David Cage (Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls) to discuss the game industry’s Peter Pan syndrome, the technological limitations facing creators, and the parallels between the evolution of the film and game industries.
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.
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!
David Cage is an idea man and I love his damn ideas. I love the idea of the industry maturing. We're seeing more and more games try to take on touchy subjects but they have to do in such adolescent ways that the impact isn't always there.
Cage, the guy who did Braid, Kojima, there are some well known and successful creators that don't just want to make fun games, they want to make fun games with a purpose. I like that, we'll get a few games that are preachy and take themselves too seriously but I think it's going to be a great era in games when these creators get a chance to just explore interactive entertainment and how they can pull at our heartstrings and get us to see so much more than a Movie or TV show can. I think Heavy Rain was an ice cube on the tip of the ice berg.
David Cage has spoken.
i hope there will be a video game about all sorts of stuff aside from shooters and platformers
