Some people connected to her began following me, and I them. Then I started seeing them retweet those posts of hers so I actually stopped following them. It's one thing to oppose something and another entirely to act like that. Especially considering if you actually work in the industry.
example of modern "journalism" - harassment and insult in one tweet.
what are you on about? naughty dog's response was extremely bad.
there's a minor cult of personality surrounding Cage and you know how easy it is to rile up the fanboys.
Uh, this has nothing to do with being a fan of David Cage. I can't stand his games.
Eh I'm no fan of Cage. Just don't feel the tweet was really appropriate coming from somebody working in the industry.
Cage could have answered like you did. But he didn't. He answered that he wasn't exploring child abuse, that the game wasn't about it. His answer of non-commitment makes the child abuse even more window dressing than it appeared to be.
it's a pretty old meme that you could have said on network tv in the 90s.
While anyprophet can continue to pretend that being involved in the game industry means we shouldn't try to improve it and rather drag it down in the dirt, the fact of the matter is that she represents Waypoint.
So? Cursing him and urging him to retire because you don't like him is extreme.
I don't know Danika's story, but I can imagine anyone who's experienced child abuse would be personally upset by David Cage's dodgy responses about and treatment of child abuse.
Again, why didn't Cage say this! This is a response that's so much better. We wouldn't be here if he could A) be as thoughtful in his responses as you are and B) had a resume to back up his intensions.
Man, forget about his track records. Just his interviews don't fill me with confidence.
I don't see what's wrong with this interview. Cage wants to give players' greater agency regarding how their stories unfold, which is good. We have more options, which can lead to greater risks making the wrong decision. It is also nice to know that he doesn't want to force some kind of morality or value on the players through the story of the game. That leaves a lot room for interpretation and allows the players to shape their choices as they see fit. After having played several times, the demo at Montreal Comic-Con, I am utterly excited to get my hands on the final product. :D
Nice job, Waypoint. Real classy.
A coherent explanation of the creative process that shows why the segment in question is a well-chosen and salient element of the game as a whole? I mean....
I reference exactly that at the end of my post. Film directors get asked these type of questions all the time by the interviewer isn't insulting them while doing it. That's the difference here.
Heh, I enjoyed the time I spent on Heavy Rain even though in the end I thought it was a flawed game. It's really weird seeing Cage act like he's breaking some new ground in games while he put outs what I'd qualify as mediocre VNs with high production values. Shit, Life Is Strange was going for the same niche and smashed all his output.
I think I'm on this side too. The questions themselves might be fair, and Cage's iffy track record and Milquetoast artistic ambitions don't inspire much confidence, but the interview doesn't seem like it was done in good faith. It comes off as antagonistic and unprofessional.
