Quantic Dream “staying exclusive to PlayStation” for foreseeable future, says Cage

Ah, a shame but completely understandable. You don’t skip out on regular funding in this day and age.

Considering Sony will probably fund whatever he wants to do, and Heavy Rain has sold better than his previous multiplatform effort, this makes a lot of sense.

He already feels like part of the brand’s furniture anyway. Almost like Sony’s French equivalent to Peter Molyneux.

Loved Heavy Rain. Fherenheit was awesome upto these bits imo, and am guessin that’s what @Rocktwist is referring to.

I’m perfectly happy with Cage being locked away on the Playstation platform. That way I know I wont have the unpleasant experience of ever accidentally wandering across his products again.

I thought he was telling us about his recent trip to Hong Kong.

“I’m perfectly happy with Cage being locked away on the Playstation platform. That way I know I wont have the unpleasant experience of ever accidentally wandering across his products again”.

If I had said this about Molynuex and Fable I would have to slay 1000 XBOTS in the comment section afterward. Why people take this guy serious is a joke in itself.

On topic: If creating a great genre and awesome story telling game like this is why you want or have to stay exclusive then by all means do it.

^ Nobody does.

I sense another buyout coming from Sony. And guess who it’s going to be.

Quantic Dream makes sense for Sony as Media Molecule did when it announced it bought them last year. I wouldn’t be surprised, but would be gladly and equally welcoming, to see Quantic become a first-party Sony studio.

So, they’ve basically got Sony’s dick in their month…

Shocker of the year… Sony Bank rolled PS3 developer stays with PS3.

Heavy Rain, in my opinion, wasn’t even that good. It was obvious after about 30 mins, to me anyway, who it was. They made an adventure game with different controls and made it dull, just a load of quicktime events. I’m sure it was other peoples idea of paradise, but it wasn’t much of a game, or story for that matter, to me.

It makes sense for them to stay with Sony anyway, where else are they going to get money from to make the games they want? Being third party with sony grants no benefits, but being first party does. Lets hope, with the new bank rolling coming in that Mr Cage and co and actually make an entertaining game.

@10 well where did you eventually think it would go after being in your pussy…just saying

I like Quantic Dream games. I’m from Europe. My kind of games.

but Heavy Rain in my opinion was a bit shitty compared to Fahrenheit. Previous work.
Story had a lot of plot holes in HR… But i’m sure with the next title David Cage will solve plot holes and will write something better. Engine is basically ready.

and it’s good to have something that is not FPS.

Great! This makes sure we will always see top quality products in compatibility terms from them.

@12

Sony’s dick will be in your mouth next. As for MS and Nintendo, well, they’ve already been there, done that!

Why is he lately so chatty, shouldn’t he work on his next project to whom he can relate to or at least try to become a decent writer finally?

As kind chaps ‘Gadzooks!’ and ‘Kalain’ pointed out, Quantic Dream’s games are utterly uninspiring and average, hence those passionate frenchmen can keep their pretentious quicktime gameplay alongside appaling storyline and hideous characters exclusive to whatever they want.

Better yet, keep it exclusive to themselves

I’m perfectly happy with a game being an exclusive as long as it helps secure funding for quality titles.

Looking forward to many more games from these guys.

@17: Mhm utterly uninspiring and average. Because there are so many games like Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain out there.

No real surprise here. The game was almost compeltely funded by Sony ( most of the rest came from the French government) so they pretty much all but own them anyways. Though I remember back in 2007 or so when they were giving interviews about their relationship with Sony they were spreading the same ole hyperbole about how the game couldn’t even run on an Xbox. Of course, years later when it finally came out we can all see that they did nothing special that an Xbox or any 10 year-old PC couldn’t do. /yawn – but it makes sense for bought and paid for CEOs to be the biggest fan boys, and since their future actually does depend on their cheerleader, this is the kinda fanboy I can’t really reject.
