David Cage is talented. He works as a musician, writer and video game designer but is best known for being the founder of the game development studio, Quantic Dream, which has brought us some remarkable titles such as Heavy Rain and The Nomad Soul. Added to that list is Beyond, Cage’s last game which was in many reviewers opinions and ours, a bland game that placed graphics over engaging gameplay. Cage is possibly the most interesting modern-day game developer, but can he now use the Xbox One and PS4 to create games that not only look good, but play well?
"Many video games catch not only great commercial attention but remarkable critical attention as well. We have seen games like Heavy Rain, The Last of Us Part II, and even entries in the Metal Gear series described as fantastic interactive experiences, even heralded in the same way as Hollywood's greatest films.
I would suggest that not only is this an unfair comparison but also a harmful one. Video games, by their very nature, are an intricately different medium and should be weighed against one another rather than another form of media," Phillip writes for GF365.
I think Hollywood films will becoming increasingly more like video games in the future, especially as the world embraces the "new normal" from the pandemic. It makes sense, as games like Spider-Man: Miles Morales showcase just how realistically we're reaching in graphical capabilities, as well as showcase extreme action sequences in spectacular ways. And as time goes by, it'll get easier and cheaper to produce such "art", as well as create new star "actors" that never age, never die, never complain, never gets involved in scandals, etc. Technology is amazing and we're only just getting a taste of what it'll eventually be.
No. For the money spent, a quality game provides far more entertainment value than a quality movie. Especially when looking at what is going on in the world, and how a studio can attempt to pilfer from consumers by charging 30 dollars for Mulan via streaming. Ridiculous. There is no comparison....games all day.
What exactly is the David Cage experience, and is it of value? We examine two classics, Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain, to find the answer.

I love Sexy Graphics.
But his Stories are terrible so it doesn't even matter.
I didnt read article, so im just going on the title. Whats the sense having awesome graphics if your story sucks. Graphics can only carry you so far. Story and gameplay is where its at man and always will be.
Im ok with the disagrees. This dev has alot of fans im just not one of them. A bit overrated but thats my opinion!! Keep em coming.
I think Quantic Dream does both very well.
I'm glad that gamers like me are being catered for by dev's such as Quantic Dreams, some people like this site found Beyond bland and others love it. I enjoyed the hell out of Beyond and in my opinion it's one of the best titles I've played this year, it is as beautiful to look at as it is to play.
I myself find games like COD ,any one on one fighting game such as Street Fighter or Injustice bland, people enjoy different genres.
