The Division 2 shifts the setting from New York City to a ruined Washington D.C. While the gameplay aims to fix issues players had with the original, statements from one of the gameâs creative directors about the narrative are frustrating. The goal, weâve been told, is not to make a political statement, but in thisâŚ
David Cageâs Detroit: Become Human wants to talk about difficult questions. The game from Cageâs studio Quantic Dream, is a story of android prejudice and rebellion touches upon questions of the soul and the nature of being. But Detroit is also a bloated action movie romp. One sequence, a series in a pattern for Cage,âŚ
Reports in three separate French outlets depict a pattern of inappropriate behavior, sexist and homophobic jokes, and an overall toxic environment at Quantic Dream, something the video game studioâs executives strongly deny.
David Cage, the writer/director for the upcoming Detroit: Become Human, is best in small doses. Given a single idea, the man famous for designing Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls knows how to pack a punch. Take, for example, the Heavy Rain DLC episode The Taxidermist. Itâs an evocative, visceral experience, and notâŚ
This week, we finished streaming David Cageâs crime thriller Heavy Rain on Kotakuâs Twitch channel. Itâs a game of astounding highs and disappointing lows, with intense action and awful writing. Itâs not as bad as everyone says, but itâs still not very good.
In preparation for the upcoming narrative game Detroit, Iâve been streaming David Cageâs 2010 crime thriller Heavy Rain over the last two weeks on Kotakuâs Twitch channel. Last night, we reached the gameâs most iconic and brutal scene.
QUOTE | âI would love to make a game that everyone loves, but at the same time I wouldnât want to compromise and just give the market what it wants. We could all make first-person shooters, but we have a much more exciting industry with people exploring different routes.â - Quantic Dreamâs David Cage accepts that hisâŚ
David Cage revealed his latest game today in Paris, and itâs called Detroit.
Here's something odd: David Cage, the maker of Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain, now has something in common with Marcel Marceau, Jacques Cousteau and Alexis de Tocqueville: all are members of France's Legion d'honneur, an award akin to being knighted in the United Kingdom.
A game made by David Cage is not like most games. First of all, they might star folks like Ellen Page. And second of all, they usually require you to do some surprising stuffâsome of which hit the right notes, and some of which really miss the mark.
In Beyond: Two Souls, youâll do some things you rarely get to do in video games. Youâll control a young, frightened girl as she hugs a stuffed animal and tries to fend off nightmares. Youâll decide whether to accept beer at an awkward high-school party, and you'll try to pick music thatâll impress a group of older,âŚ
It began with an idea. David Cage sits at his desk, but he canât write. He looks for an image. He canât remember the words he types into the search engine but, before he knows it, on his screen, a photograph of the actress Ellen Page. A funeral, a single idea and pictures of Ellen Page. âThis,â says David Cage, âisâŚ
Shuhei Yoshida is a busy man. Between running Sony's Worldwide Studios and sharing his hilarious, lovable thoughts on Twitter, the guy's got a lot on his plate.
I love a game with a cool, interesting main character. But you know what I think I might love even more? A game with multiple cool, interesting main characters.
Yu Suzuki and David Cage walk into a room. This isn't the setup of a joke, but rather what ends up being a thoughtful session of comparing notes over the methods of storytelling in Shenmue, Indigo Prophecy and the upcoming Beyond: Two Souls. Take a lookâthe relevant bit starts 22 minutes in.
Heavy Rain got some criticism. There are whole train of thoughts that either praise or slam Quantic Dreamâs experimental PS3 game. Some people love what it tried to do in terms of how play mechanics and plot continuation when certain characters died. Other players hated the way it tried to tell its story. When âŚ
David Cage was nervous last Saturday night. And with good reason.
CNET editor Dan Ackerman shared this picture of the Beyond: Two Souls script today. It's 2,000 blank pages. The representation of the conglomeration of all the spoken dialogue for Quantic Dreamâs upcoming playable drama looks bigger than a stack of PS3s. And not the new Super Slim PS3s. Iâm talking the original huskyâŚ
If it's a big-budget game, you can (cynically) count on at least one thing: a stoic-looking guy incorrectly holding a gun on the cover. It's a trend in the same way blue-orange movie covers are a trend. Covers rarely break that mold, but according to Gamespot, Quantic Dream is doing it with Beyond: Two Souls. AndâŚ
