David Cage debunks Horizon rumours, "unrelated script" used to avoid leaks

In one fell swoop, David Cage has debunked all rumours regarding Quantic Dream's next project, a project outed to be known as 'Horizon.'

"These apparently detailed that the project would be centred on the lives of a young couple, involving "a curious man very insularly meeting a free woman who is hesitant to exercise her freedom."

Hmmm...

Curious about this "curious man very insularly meeting a free woman who is hesitant to exercise her freedom."

Those are the inaccurate details previously reported earlier in the year.

That's unfortunate...

It sounds interesting though...

[Qui-Gon Jim]

It sounds like that was from a script used only for casting purposes. i.e. whatever developer it was used a script that was not related to their project but probably had similar characters and relationships between those characters. That way they can get a sense of how the actors they're auditioning would play the actual characters without people leaking anything. I would imagine that tactic is used a lot in movies, too.

Disappointing. The premise of this sounded really interesting. Especially the part about the lady being afraid to exercise her freedoms, that theme for a story would be enough for me to buy it.

Also the whole style of gameplay that Quantic Dream uses would be put to much better use in a Sci-Fi world that one based on real life anyways.

Cage shouldve really continued with the Chronicles imo. Especially a prologue to Norman Jayden, since the other three characters had definitive endings, Jayden had the weirdest wtf ending, which deserved to be finished.

Jayden's fate seems obvious enough to me , weither he is possibly alive or even dead . There is one one potential "happy ending" for him

He was warned multiple times of the dangers by the "butler" and saw the signs .

What would be needed is stuff like how and why he fell into that , where did he get the scar froms ...

[Redempteur]

agreeded more chronicles to GET to know the characters..
unfortunatly it was either move version/or the chronicles i wanted chronicles but sony needed something to sell move ..

[Acquiescence]

I always really liked the premise to Horizon; it sounded like it would make a really compelling game. Kinda reminded me of Gattaca a bit.

[TroyAndAbed]

I just want to play it. I'm on media lock-down from anything by Quantic Dream until it releases. Heavy Rain is still my GOTY.

[Baka-akaB]

Why is he even revealing it was a fake script ? When you have confused everyone so cleverly to work in peace , just stay silent until you can reveal your actual work

[Qui-Gon Jim]

Get people looking forward to something, then tell them "No, we're doing something different." Don't want a "Raiden moment."

[Baka-akaB]

since it was a leak those people would be silly .

I think it's more likely a few of the infos were on the money

[Qui-Gon Jim]

Whatever the case, after playing Heavy Rain, I am buying anything that comes out of Quantic Dream.

[Redempteur]

lol i'm like that since the nomad soul ( their first game )

the fact that they don't whore their universe and don't release every year make me like them even more
