David Cage Doesn't Understand Human Emotions

Quantic Dream founder David Cage said in an interview that he bases games on emotions, but history shows that may not be the case.

What!?!?!? You mean kissing my girlfriend won't save me from law enforcement?!?!? Surely you jest!

rainslacker2486d ago

Maybe if your GF kisses the law enforcement?

David Cage is the Tommy Wiseau of gaming.

PatrickJS2487d ago

...I'm upset that we didn't go for that as our title.

ZaWarudo2487d ago

Hey man, that's not nice. Don't insult Tommy Wiseau like that.

Segata2486d ago

Accurate. I've been saying that for years.

gangsta_red2487d ago

Doesn't understand how to make an interesting game either

Battlestar232487d ago

Detroit Become Human, Beyond Two Souls and Heavy Rain prove you wrong. Just because a game isn't a dude bro shooter doesn't mean it's crap.

Knushwood Butt2487d ago

Gangsta has played all of these in depth at a secret location.

Larrysweet2487d ago

Detroit best interactive game ever made

gangsta_red2487d ago

Actually, those games just prove me right. Just because a game has a generic basic plot, bland characters, disjointed plot lines, blotted over used themes, doesn't make a game high art.

JackBNimble2487d ago

That's pretty subjective, I only have DBH because it was free , not my kind of genre.

"Just because a game has a generic basic plot, bland characters, disjointed plot lines, blotted over used themes, doesn't make a game high art."

You mean like 99% of the games on the market that are consider "masterpieces", show me one game that doesn't have at least one of those things you mentioned.

gangsta_red2486d ago (Edited 2486d ago )

@2pacalypsenow

'...show me one game that doesn't have at least one of those things you mentioned."

I never said any game was a masterpiece concerning it's story, that was never my argument or claim. So why do I have to show you a game that has just that?

Yeah if the game combined the microtransactions of FIFA, the 2003 shooting mechanics of Call of Duty, and the boring open map of Assassin's Creed then maybe we could call his games interesting.

/s

gangsta_red2487d ago (Edited 2487d ago )

Yeah because if we put generic plot lines, overused themes, pretentious dull movie pretending to be a game and throw in a bunch of QTEs, that would make an even more interesting game

@gorillatactics

Since the game is a PlayStation exclusive. If it was multi platform or exclusive to another console, they’d be crapping all over it.

That's why nobody is interested in his games /s

Kostche2486d ago

exactly, dont worry about the downvotes, the guys writing is beyond generic, and every game he has done has had plot whole problems and writing issues, but people will like what they will like, regardless of how other people will see it for what it is

Pennywise1382486d ago

Have you honestly played Detroit Become Human? Serious question cause I normally don’t go for those types of games but I’m about halfway through Detroit and I’m finding it phenomenal. Very interesting concept with some very tense moments and second guessing decisions I make. The graphics are also really good. I also really like seeing how my choice thread compares to the rest of the world. It’s free on ps plus so give it a try if you haven’t already.

OB1Biker2486d ago (Edited 2486d ago )

Good advice: try to see many different outcomes. Even if you can't play it all, at least watch what you miss.
For instance Hank, Connor can go in very different and many interesting directions.

Question_Mark2486d ago

At least someone here knows how to speak the truth.

... He writes videogames. Fiction. It's supposed to entertain, everything else is trivial and resonate differently with different people, stop this f****ing crusade to make videogames more them they ought to be.

"stop this f****ing crusade to make videogames more them they ought to be."

To be fair, that's what David Cage has been trying to do.

Personally, my problem with Cage is that he doesn't know how to write a compelling ending. His games start off incredibly strong, with an air of freshness and originality. But in the final 3rd the games fall apart when Cage consistently resorts to the cliches he worked so hard to avoid in the first 2/3rds of the game.

His games would be even better if he gave the endings the same care and careful planning as the rest of the game.

TricksterArrow2486d ago (Edited 2486d ago )

He is pushing games to be more like interactive movies, though. Not anything else. Which is arguably what a lot of other devs are doing, albeit in their own way. And... Movies are also fiction and entertainment at the end of the day. You want something more serious, change to the news.

Everything else you said is pretty subjective, so I'll give you that.

T2X2486d ago

Exactly this! Sick of artsy fartsy morons reading way too deep into every damn story plot. Where robots are concerned, what the hell else are you going to do? I liked it.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

dveio17d ago

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing17d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit17d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing17d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9217d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
