ScrewAttack: "I don't want to ruin anything, so I will simply say I found BEYOND: Two Souls to be a fascinating work of science fiction, with an enjoyable mechanic thanks to the characters you engage with. The flaky gesture based combat system or lack of any sort of "fear of failure" didn't detract from an overall entertaining experience. It isn't exactly a graphical pioneer, but it still remains visually impressive throughout. Quantic Dream has managed to create another unique experience for the PS3 by continuing to push forward the current generation. Even as we move into the future."

David Cage Believes "No One Should Be Allowed To Define What A Video Game Is"

Added: 08.10.2013 23:42 | 16 views | 0 comments




David Cage, studio head for Quantic Dream and wonderfully impersonated by our very own Blake Peterson, in an interview with Gamespot, doesn't believe that his more narrative-driven video games should be relegated to the corner of the video game as merely interactive movies: Some people can be very conservative about this medium and this is sometimes frustrating. Some people wish that games would always stay what they were in the past 30 years, just with more polygons. No one should be allowed to define what a video game is or should be; no one has this power. Much like the argument that everything is art, he believes that the video game medium shouldn't have too many boundaries: A video game can be so many different things. Angry Birds is a game; Call of Duty is a game; World of Warcraft is a game; Gone Home is a game. Who can decide 'you are a video game', 'you are not a video game', 'you are not a part of this family?' No. Let's open this medium to whoever has different ideas and it's great to see people trying to do games where shooting is not the main thing.

David Cage: No one should be allowed to define what a game is

Quantic Dream boss says games can be "so many different things"; wants to convince hardcore gamers and newcomers to try Beyond: Two Souls.

No one should be allowed to define what a game is or should be, according to Quantic Dream studio head David Cage. Speaking with GameSpot about , Cage said he would like to see games break from tradition and tell new stories with new modes of play.

"Some people can be very conservative about this medium and this is sometimes frustrating," Cage said. "Some people wish that games would always stay what they were in the past 30 years, just with more polygons. No one should be allowed to define what a video game is or should be; no one has this power."

"A video game can be so many different things. Angry Birds is a game; Call of Duty is a game; World of Warcraft is a game; Gone Home is a game. Who can decide 'you are a video game', 'you are not a video game', 'you are not a part of this family?' No. Let's open this medium to whoever has different ideas and it's great to see people trying to do games where shooting is not the main thing."

Cage acknowledged that this discussion is "very interesting" in the context of the coming weeks and months when so many topline franchises--including shooters like --will be released. Cage described these franchises as "great," but said Beyond: Two Souls is something altogether different.

"Beyond is different. As a game creator, this is what I believe in," Cage said. "And I would like you to try it and hopefully you'll like it. It's a different route and this is definitely the route that I chose in my career."

Cage said Beyond: Two Souls already has a built-in audience from the success of predecessor , but explained that he would like to convince new groups of people to give the game a try.

"There are people on both ends of the spectrum that we need to convince. One one side we have hardcore gamers who think that games should only be about shooting and about action and killing and competing and adrenaline," Cage said. "And we need to convince these people to give Beyond a try and say 'OK, this is going to be different'. Yeah, it's about a young woman. No she doesn't have a gun. And maybe you will enjoy the experience because it's different, because it's something maybe you haven't played before."

On the other end of this spectrum are people who are not familiar with games and may not have a full understanding of what a game can be, Cage said. He said if these people try Beyond: Two Souls they may learn games can be something more than what they thought they could be.

"They think video games are just about violence and that there is nothing there for them or that they are too complex to play or that they are not interested in shooting. And you say no, wait a minute, video games can be something else. Give Beyond a try and see if you enjoy it or not."

Beyond: Two Souls launched today exclusively on PlayStation 3. For more, check out .

Gaming Illustrated | Beyond: Two Souls Review

When Heavy Rain was released in 2010, many said it was one of those experiences only possible on PlayStation 3. That sentiment was used as both joke and accolade. Detractors got a chuckle at how only the PS3 would be home to a game that was little more than an interactive movie. Supporters welcomed the story of the Origami Killer, claiming that only the PS3 would house such unique games. What ultimately couldnt be denied was that David Cage and his team at Quantic Dream took players on an interactive journey full of emotion and mystery. Maybe it wasnt perfect, but it redefined gaming as a medium for storytelling. Beyond: Two Souls is an evolution of those core concepts laid out by Heavy Rain. It defies what players can traditionally expect from a video game while pushing the limits of technology and game direction. In short, this isnt one to miss.

EuroGamer Portugal: "After playing it, you will feel extremely connected to Jodie, the game does everything to develop this emotional bond between the player and the protagonist. It suffers from some of the interactive storytelling limitations, but its the most balanced and accomplished game from Quantic Dream so far."
