With the industry moving into next-gen, Quantic Dream’s David Cage believes that from a technological aspect, the new consoles are “a better tool” to help add subtleties to what creators are already creating.
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.
Lol just saying. The last person I want to hear about “healthy culture” from is the people who use those words. Ususlly some kind of identity theory-ism. Commie talk.
I’m getting some disagrees so let me elaborate and try to change your mind.
Do you want to hear about healthy culture from people who celebrate fatness or put kids on puberty blockers as a few examples? That’s the kind of people who say shit like that and they are the most destructive force I’ve ever seen in my life when it comes to culture. Easily.
When you say culture what do you mean? The very core, right? The soul. QD is rotten to the very core and it needs to be replaced. With what? Ask whoever is using that term. I’m sure they have an idea. And I’d bet money their idea of healthy culture is ass backwards and not profitable lol.
Another example. I just saw a Kellogg ad that said “Food Justice for black communities”. They think they can trigger black folks into buying cereal with words like justice lol. They might be right, who knows. I laugh at shit like that though because I see right through these idiots.
TLDR:
Some people use words to communicate. “Shitty work environment”
Some people use words to manipulate. “Unhealthy culture” “Food justice”

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!
Yes. Kara became Detroit. Also the job interview trailer demo back in 2007/8 became Heavy Rain. There was also a video about an actor who was portraying a dark sorcerer. I think that could be something too. I was saying since Kara did become a game, then their newer demo trailer could have too.

Lol I’m actually replaying that now love this and Detroit. Doesn’t need a sequel imo.
no feces Sherlock... Why do these guys keep asking the sames questions to every game developer only to hear the same answers? 0_O
The good news is that you're past step 1, the Denial phase, Microsoft had clouded your mind but now you've seen the truth and that made you angry.
Anger is step 2. The person is very difficult to care for due to misplaced feelings of rage and envy.
The 3rd step is Bargaining,"I'll do anything to..."
The individual will hope that he can somehow delay his desire to get a PS4.
4th, Depression. "I made a fool of myself, nobody will ever like me again"
The person begins to understand the certainty of getting a PS4. He may become silent and spend much of the time crying. This process allows the convert to disconnect from the xbone. It's natural to feel regret, fear, and uncertainty when going through this stage, it shows that you've begun to accept the situation.
5th, Acceptance. "It's going to be ok."
In this last stage individuals begin to come to terms with their love for the PS4. You can enter this stage a long time before the friends you'll leave behind, but they must pass through their own individual stages.
This interview was completely pointless. Why even bother. Nextgen is better than last gen? Really...
I like Cage's approach to gaming.
