David Cage announces all the questions posed and the main scenario from Human Revolution. Just far clunkier and with more plot holes.
I'm glad we live in a world where we make our minds up about something we have yet to actually see.

I hope Dark Sorcerer is their next game which is more light hearted and funny.
Source? If so that would be great news. The further away he is from it the better. Even then the concept doesn't jump out to me.
Yeah I feel bad for the guys at QD that have to work under Cage. They're obviously super talented but they're shackled by Cage's idiocy. Id feel safer giving a six year a bunch of crayons to scribble out a story, it would be more coherent than anything Cage has delivered.
The Dark Sorcerer was also pretty well written. Maybe Cage should try his hand at comedy instead.

His games do improve from announcement to retail still and it also looked much better in direct feed already than during the conference.

He did hire new writers in the last year or two to help on their next game.
Wait see.

I'm going to assume from the trailer that david cage hasn't brought in a writer to clean up his garbage.

Detroit: In Da Ghetto!!
Not going to disagree on that. Especially the lightning seems much better in the wizard demo.
I hope so. I think Cage stories usually start off good and then kind of lose themselves.

Coming soon: Another interactive SyFy Channel original movie from gaming's Tommy Wiseau!
The Sadness saga must continue!
We have seen a lot of David Cage games, though.
Anyway, compliments are allowed, critics are not? Cause i don't see you quoting people that really liked the trailer/concept/etc.

The whole last part. I audibly groaned and grimaced.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
Sweeping strings combined with excessive emphasis on textbook descriptive terms for feelings and emotions ranging from extreme positives to extreme negatives to accentuate the protagonist's state of mind and commentary on the state of the setting.
Android-existentialist-crisis is one of the oldest, well trodden tropes of science fiction and this trailer presented an extremely familiar concept with nothing that stood out as an original or intriguing angle or take to differentiate it from the norm, given what other work has already done and better for the last few decades, in addition to about as much grace and subtle use of the English language to present said concepts as a hammer to the face.
I have a stick up my arse about Quantic Dream/David Cage because I firmly believe his dialogue is consistently terrible and his stories consistently awful. It's like watching/playing a narrative written by a person who doesn't understand how people naturally communicate, nor the deeper nuances of themes and how to explore them, in an experience that has no self awareness of what it's achieving and failing or how it presents itself.
And while brief and obviously light on content, the debut trailer for Detroit: Become Human (sic) simply drilled in that cringe worthy script writing him and his team are known for. Beyond the technical accomplishments of QD titles, I feel they're all mostly turds both as narratives and choice driven narrative video games, where glimmers of original ideas and cool concepts are crushed under laughably unnatural characters and script.
Until Dawn was kitchy and stupid but so self aware and fun in its writing that it just enforced my belief other developers are doing the Quantic Dream/David Cage thing far better than them/him despite the latter receiving more attention.

Dumb title, but I love this dev. Heavy Rain and Beyond Two Souls were amazing.

Need to know the writer before I consider this game. Quantic dream is limited by David cage in my opinion.
The dialogue wasn't bad. "Quantic Dream games have awful narrative and dialogue" is mostly a meme. People say it, others repeat it, nobody can even explain it.
Signs of shit-tier writing already.
But it'll be worth it for the highlights - like all their games. Totally worth it.
IIRC the dialogue in IP and HR were good, it was just the voice acting which was off-key. Because they used mainly French actors, for whatever reason.
When I say writing above I'm talking about the whole thing as a cohesive entity. The games are rarely cohesive. Heavy Rain was, arguably flawed twist aside. That's my favourite.
Haha, can't deny that, though.

I've started playing UD yesterday. Even on the title screen of Until Dawn, her character doesn't look as good and doesn't animate as good as what QD has made here. I agree, they got Hayden's likeness right, but I don't particularly care about how much a game character looks like its actor. I was thinking more along the lines of which looks better in motion if I ignore who they're based on.
