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.

It doesn't work like that. Gaming, in fact, is an ageless, genderless hobby. Old and young men and women alike can play games that cater to their tastes and have a good time. Growing up doesn't mean that you forget how to appreciate fun things in life.
And I think the man could do way better in his execution of ideas. Heavy Rain's story, for example, was as believable and touching as a B movie or a campy book. At least in my opinion.
The creators of games like Journey and Braid are more likely to bring us gaming's Citizen Kane (if they haven't already). Even though their work looks on the surface nothing like Citizen Kane, it stands in a similar place Kane did in relation to the medium in which it exists. Creating a far deeper and more human connection with its audience than anything had before. A game like Heavy rain stands apart from the rest of the industry in terms of its innovative gameplay but in terms of plot it's just every cliché from every detective potboiler over the past fifty years packaged and sold as something new to people without the cultural education to know where and when these ideas were done better. It tries desperately to look mature and grown up but is in fact embarrassingly adolescent, like a thirteen year old boy smoking his first cigarette and trying not to cough his lungs up.
I'm not saying Cage isn't trying to create something deeper and more mature, he is and that is commendable but if he ever wants to actually do it he really needs to develop greatly as a writer.
Something like the 'Taken'?
Taken is a good movie to compare it with IMO.
PS4's will sell like hotcakes just like the PS3/3DS
He's now a meme as well.

Just look at the two pictures.
While i agree that what is being done at QDs is amazing and a must for the industry, it needs to remain profitable to be relevant. I do believe that it will be and that its exclusivity is a major advantage for playstation and the industry as a whole. This is why Citizen Kane may not be the best reference. I am trying to think what would be a better reference, a movie that was a game changer, ahead of its time, but also made money to help further its industry. Any ideas?
I'm glad they threw that video together on PSN explaining the main plot holes within the stories for Heavy Rain, I just wish I could have enjoyed them in game instead of a video though.
