Judging David Cage and Quantic Dream "By Their Work"

That few appear to be shocked by the recent accusations levied at David Cage and Quantic Dream is telling.

"In another twist, one of the journalists who covered the story, William Audureau, has claimed that he has been blacklisted by Sony France as a result of his report."

#FakeNews

Indeed a typical example of the media using fake news without bothering if they are real or not.

'However, it does also feature one of Cage’s shower scenes. In fact, every game released by Quantic Dream this millennium has featured at least one scene with a woman naked in a shower, complete with various different angles. The most problematic part of Heavy Rain, however, is when the female lead is forced to strip at gunpoint, a scene which serves no real purpose and functions as nothing more than gratuitous titillation. It’s about as subtle as Hideo Kojima shoving the camera into Quiet’s thonged backside.'

Sometimes I wonder where the 7th Art would be at if these games journalists were film critics....

I haven't played this since the ps3 but, as I recall, wasn't she an undercover news reporter or something trying to get some info out of some drug dealer/pimp/club owner? And had to buy try to buy some time otherwise blow her cover? That would seem to serve a function/purpose for moving the story along and would of fit in with the context.

@Phoenix76 You are right, this article is pure nonsense.

Not only that, but you don't NEED to strip. You can hit him over the head fairly quickly to end the scene. Again, it's been a while since I've played it. But you don't have to get naked on this part. If you don't want to.

Fake news is such a shit statement, true or not. Americans labelling everything is getting out of hand, if news is BS ignoring or not acknowledging it is a better way of disregarding it. By labelling it you are validating it.

They should probably blackist this site as well. No one should take this fake outrage seriously.

Wonder how often he uses the unlock camera feature on his devkit

Since when is it wrong to like women?

[KrushBait]

It started a long time ago :D

Since the age of the new age puritans, that have no idea that their narrative is puritan in execution. People who don't like mediums, trying to control mediums that they know or care nothing about. People who cannot accept that sexuality is a human trait and both men and women can enjoy it... At the criminal expense of others, it's a different story, but for the average, consenting human being, it's a part of life.

Dangerous times.
