Heavy Rain, Beyond chief David Cage declares: "sequels kill creativity and innovation" - 2013

Pozzle2123d ago

A guy can't change his mind in four years?

MuddyWaters2122d ago

This is likely his biggest success so far and we all know what happens when a game does well, the higher ups automatically want to make a sequel to it. It's the same thing with The Last of Us. There was no real reason to do another other than it was a huge success. Same will happen with Horizon. Once a new IP does well you can bet there is pressure to make another.

@deep

Pozzel this is not towards you....

This is why I really try to stay off this site with fanboys like this. Do you really want to do the quote game? Because there is plenty for the Sony fans can bring up. We can even start with almighty Phil.

You of all people should be complaining about sequels. And not many different games with sequels at that. Do you actually have fun with this honestly?

I understand that people can have there preferences with these console but this blind loyalty is ridiculous. I've seen the same people on here for YEARS saying the same shit over and over. Starting crap over and over. It's unfortunate but hey I'm out. I'm not going to respond to you because really its no point. You've done this for years and it's just sad really.

We all know what the real Xbox gamers want and hopefully MS will step their game up. It just too bad the people like you have the loudest voices. I'm not going to engage with you because there is no point but people like you need to get called out. There is no reason for this. You have to be getting paid for this or something. This kind of blind loyalty is disturbing...

Real gamers, you guys that frequent this site on comments, need to really expose these guys and even bring proof and facts to the table. That's the only way to really stop this. The real Xbox gamers need to start to speak up. PlayStation gamers loves games. Good quality AAA games. You those games that look like my investment was worthwhile.

Power is not everything but talent outweighs that by a Longshot. Ask yourself this. Has anything MS has showed you so far for the X that blows ANYTHING Sony has put out this gen now, the future, and Even in the past? I'm also talking 1st party. What 6tf game has blown the Pro out of the water? Hell God of War was shown on standard PS4 before release. Ask yourself this and just look at the proof.

What about new IPs? Again look. All we want to Xbox to survive so WE ALL get better games!!! And I want to buy an xbox because I'm a gamer and I love games. I had a 360 and the OG and loved them. Especially the OG. The real PlayStation gamers want Xbox to succeed because we love games and we know that you guys deserve better. Plain and simple. Xbox gamers deserve better. It doesn't take having the most powerful system to make a great games. Look at Nintendo. Wake up. We are all in this together and if we speak then they will listen. DRM, Star Wars, remember??? We have a voice....wake up and demand more....

Back to the cave...

UCForce2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

Or he understands why the fan love Detroit Become Human so much. Seriously, you are so bad at this.

OB1Biker2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

D Cage says QD never develop sequels but has always thought of the Detroit BH universe as a franchise because there's a lot to tell.

UCForce2122d ago

He can do that. I would be surprises if he made Detroit Become Human sequel.

FallenAngel19842123d ago

How do you make a sequel to something with so many drastically different multiple endings?

porkChop2123d ago

Yeah, picking a canonical ending sort of defeats the purpose of choice-based narratives.

morganfell2122d ago

Nowhere in the interview did he say that possible DLC or sequels would involve the current characters or take place after the ending of the game. New characters with events that transpire during the same timeline are possible. A great many people want Hank/Connor DLC but those are not all the people asking for more material.

In the actual AMA he stated this: "There are so many characters in the game that could have a DLC about their backstories that it may be difficult to chose one... Actually, I wrote backstories for almost all the characters in the game, so I have a pretty good idea of what happened to them before the game started... But between people wanting an investigation about Connor, a full sequel and DLC about all characters, we will need to make a choice ;-)"

OB1Biker2122d ago

I don't see why. Many of the ending were clearly a dead end and not favouring a sequel. Its easy to dismiss them as alternate endings rather than canonical endings. Sequel also can remain vague on the details but focus on the outcome with or without the same characters.

ameliabaz2122d ago

SPOILERS AHEAD>>>

I agree OB1Biker. If there had to be a canonical ending, it's safe to assume that the version where everybody lives, androids get recognised as equal, and Hank and Connor meet up again is more of a 'true' ending than the versions where everybody dies, Connor gets disassembled, or the city gets nuked.

porkChop2122d ago (Edited 2122d ago )

@morganfell

"Nowhere in the interview did he say that possible DLC or sequels would involve the current characters or take place after the ending of the game."

I didn't say that it would though. I was just responding to FallenAngel's point about the endings. Obviously they could use different characters or a parallel or prequel story. I know that. I was talking about the possibility of a direct sequel.

Rimeskeem2122d ago

If I'm not mistaken he could take the ending you had previously and go from there. I think that is what Mass Effect did.

Pozzle2123d ago

DLC/sequel with more Hank and Connor detective missions please!

OpenGL2122d ago

Connor really is the best

OB1Biker2122d ago

He is the android sent by Cyberlife...
Joke aside, yes he's the most interesting character. Depending how you play he can be a charismatic badbass hero or an @sshole vilain and everything in between. The other day I was watching a play through and saw the fight between Connor and Hank that can go so many different ways but I didn't even know that scene was there.

OpenGL2122d ago

I've been playing it and there have been some pretty good story elements but like Heavy Rain, I can't help but imagine what it would be like if they had this world, story, and visuals in a traditional game.

GTgamer2122d ago

Ayeeeee I'm not gonna lie I do love this universe I'll take some more Connor missions thank you very much or another android like him.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Expected to Release Around 2027, Says Square Enix

It's fairly common knowledge that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth enjoyed a relatively smooth development cycle, owing to the fact that Final Fantasy 7 Remake's team was largely kept intact, and the first game had obviously laid the foundations in terms of visuals and gameplay systems. It took Square Enix around three years to craft Rebirth, and it expects the same kind of timeline when it comes to the third (and final) title in the trilogy.

lucian2293d ago

Soooo long. Sigh lmao gonna be a long long wait.

Cacabunga3d ago

Yes but better they take their time with such game. A good argument to get PS5 Pro

Sonic18812d ago

The PS6 might be out by then

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

In 2,5 years? No way .. Pro will be around for at least 2 years..

RaidenBlack2d ago

Might be an unpopular opinion here, but I wish the remake was a 2-parter not a 3-parter.
Die-hard fans will disagree and I get it but ... I think they're stretching the project abit too much imho.

lucian2292d ago

considering how much story is in the original, i think it's fine. Everything is very well elaborated and the connection to those characters are much greater thanks to it. Like, i like seeing tifa and aerith as best friends for example. the fact the first 2 games in this trilogy basically only covered the first disc of the original is kinda crazy tho lol

Becuzisaid2d ago

@lucian That first disc was a whopper though. I don't remember the second being as long, and the third is basically just the final dungeon.

I'm glad they did 3 games. The first 2 have been absolutely phenomenal. Looking forward to the Weapons (the real ones) waking up and attacking, the underwater exploration (they set that up pretty good with the lore of Under Junon), and finally Cloud's big reveal. It'll be real interesting to see how they handle the repercussions of Cloud's behavior from Rebirth and what he's going to do in Part 3. Like the party should realistically just abandon him for being such an a-hole, and after what he did to a Tifa. They really played up the whole Sephiroth mind control thing in Rebirth. They really need to nail the emotional payoff to that. Hope it's not just swept under the rug by the party and just move on post Lifestream.

-Foxtrot2d ago

Also 3 games and then a Crisis core remaster

Then god knows what else

It’s overkill

I’d under the trilogy if they lived up to their excuse about it being about expanding the lore. Like they said the first game would heavily expand the lore of Midgar through side missions but the side missions didn’t do that at all, they were all pretty generic. Felt like a bad excuse to justify 3 games.

-Foxtrot2d ago

Least we have a potential date

Although now I’m just thinking

“Damn 3-4 years to see if we’ll ever get a FFVIII remake next”

VersusDMC2d ago

Apparently there is a IX remake getting made. You need that to come out and be successful before a VIII remake is even possibly green lit.

But if you're thinking the FF7REMAKE team is making a FFVIII remake after part 3...that is not happening. They are definitely making a new FF after.

-Foxtrot2d ago

Well apparently IX is coming first because the VIII team are working on the VII remakes

So if they get finished then hopefully they will work on VIII next

You say it won’t but I’m hoping they will…just something less ambitious

TheEroica2d ago

Yikes.... Sales are already lower than expected for the sequel. Third game is gonna be lower....

GoodGuy093d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I really think it should've been just one game or two at most, kept to the simple turn based combat, and no crazy changes to the story. But it's whatever. I liked rebirth but man was it bloated with so much unnecessary and repetitive stuff. Square is really betting their money on the remakes. I do admit the remakes have been the only mainline ff games Ive actually quite liked since probably 10 lol.

Lexreborn22d ago

I don’t feel like it’s bloated, it’s more or less all the same content that was in the original for mini games but they expanded everyone’s narrative better.

I am glad they expanded even on the characters that came in later games that wasn’t in the original. It’s a weird position we keep putting devs in when one moment we say give us a complete game with tons of content. They deliver said content and then we treat it like it’s overwhelming or to much.

Crazy part is you could just focus on the story and do none of the “bloat”. Gamers really seem to never be happy when you look online forums

rambot892d ago

Wouldn’t make sense financially. 1 game would involve a mammoth amount of development time and a gamble to say the least. Making one part of the game and seeing if it makes $$$ gives reason to justify making a part 2 and 3 and make more money too.

OtterX3d ago

That's pretty crazy if you think about the 2005 PS3 tech demo that started this all! I'm not sure if they ever intended to remake the game at that time, but the fan outcry for it was so incredible that it eventually became a reality! Now imagine all of the fans who have died waiting for this. :\

GamerRN2d ago

That's how you turn an 80$ game into a $240 game

jambola2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Which game is 240?
You must've bought from a bad scalper because I got both games for normal price each

GamerRN2d ago

How much did each part cost?

Lionsguard3d ago

I mean not too surprised, they already have most of all the assets already made. I just hope it's UE5 and they crank it to 11 and finish strong. I also hope they go back and upgrade Remake and Rebirth to UE5 too. BUY THE DAMN GAME PEOPLE!!

franwex3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

For all the complaints about GAAS and same thing getting released every year. It’s almost dumb that gamers here don’t support a game like Rebirth.

MrNinosan2d ago

Rebirth is selling great and is supported. Don't worry.

MrNinosan2d ago

It won't be UE5.
If that wad the case, we wouldn't play it in 3 years.

Becuzisaid2d ago

And it would likely play like trash compared to the first 2, at least on PS5.

Josh Sawyer, Pentiment Director, Comments on Industry Burnout Issues

Josh Sawyer tweets: "I believe burnout has already replaced crunch as the primary hazard of the game industry. Managers are setting teams up to fail and devs are getting ground up as collateral damage. I have suffered from burnout myself. It's no joke. Thanks to @thewritegame and @Eeoor for the talk.

As with crunch, it's likely that managers may acknowledge creating the circumstances leading to burnout but will not take the necessary steps to change them. It's important that devs continue to talk to and support each other and to apply pressure until change is effected."

anast3d ago

Typically burnout comes from abusive management.
