Game Podunk editor, Marcus Estrada writes "The founder of Quantic Dream, David Cage, recently spoke about his company and Heavy Rain at BAFTA awards ceremony. Among everything he said was a very interesting line about the video game developer: "We created the [interactive storytelling] genre. We own the genre, and we want to show that Heavy Rain was not a coincidence or a lucky shot - that it was really something that makes sense and that we can build on.”
Immediately, this seems like a spurious claim. Developers have had grand ambitions and talked up their products before, but have they gone so far as to claim ownership to any one genre? People in the industry such as Peter Molyneux hype up their games to grand proportions, but eventually admit they didn't quite reach the peak. Developers might often talk a big game but at points will show they understand their products are not absolute perfection. That's why it strikes me as so entirely odd that David Cage is making such strong...
Quantic Dream are set to offering hands-on opportunities at PAX East 2024, but which game it will be has not yet been revealed.
Quantic Dream has announced a new publishing label, Spotlight, following the reveal of debut title Under the Waves.
Interesting to see how this works out for them. QD have had a very lucrative partnership with Sony. David Cage is a household name among Playstation owners, and he might not have been if QD stuck with Atari as their publisher. Now they're launching Spotlight so they can circumvent Sony exclusivity? I imagine this isn't the last we'll hear from Spotlight.
Can’t wait for all those quicktime events and bash-you-with-boredom storytelling.
Ruliweb interviewed Quantic Dream CEO David Cage at G-Star 2022.
this kinda game has been around for years ( with better controlls )
but....heavy rain was an amazing game ill give it that.
EDIT: why the disagree's
i think we're to far in to create whole new genres.
simpsaons did it!!!
even gta was a mish-mash of other genre's
nah more like reviving and evolve a genre that die several generation ago
Ignoring all of those point-and-click adventure games from the early 90's...
Dragon's Lair comes to mind... This David Cage is just too arrogant
