With Gamescom 2012 giving him a platform to air his views, David Cage has been rather outspoken recently. Away from discussions of performance capture and Hollywood actresses, he chatted about his freedom as a writer, and how he believes indie development is the future.
"(I have) total freedom. Total freedom. No constraint in anything," said Cage.
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!
Lol I’m actually replaying that now love this and Detroit. Doesn’t need a sequel imo.
And that is why the next SotC game to come out will be on a Playstation system(s).
Zipper, BigBig and Liverpool enjoy their freedom now.
Sony.............. You're good!.
Indie developers are the past of the industry, seems they can only make 2D platform games of the sort popular in 1990 - and even then theirs are nowhere near as good.
Could be a long, long time before they make a Mario Galaxy or Vanquish.
And you get more freedom if you make a game without a publisher. There is always something a publisher wont allow.
