Luckily, he actually brought in multiple people to help him with the writing and directing.
That makes me feel better about it.

You're a big guy.
I see your point but does anyone actually want a diluted David Cage? Surely it can only be full Cage?

Quantic Dream games would be so much better if they didnt get all silly during the last act.
Except Beyond. Beyond seemed to get alot crazier a lot earlier and from what I hear it stayed on the crazy train.
But I hope whoever came up with the "perfect cime" trophy in heavy rain got a raise. That was creative. It basically got you to play the game a completely different way.
At least with Detroit he cant add a bunch of super natural stuff as a twist. Robots are already out there enough. Right? RIGHT? Are we going to get magic robots?

So when you played as the killer you had to work against everyone else and make decisions that would do things like destroy deviance, get people killed on purpose etc...

Turning this into simile wars, I hope it's more like the rough edges being filed off.

What if David cage wrote a script featuring Nicholas cage?
Would the universe be able to handle such a thing?
Would the universe be able to handle such a thing?
Yes.
It wouldn't be any worse than anything else starring Nic Cage.
Would we get engaged Cage or I'm just here to pay off a castle Cage?
I'm down for the former.

Considering how nic cage usually tackles scripts on the calibre of David cage's, I'm hoping for the latter.

Now that I think about it. Heavy Rain had a quarter of its story cut near the end of development and they never bothered to patch the plot hole it left.
So David Cage has beat Kojima to the punch by about 6 years.

A game kinda like the stanley parable but it's about waking up late and you have to get to work on time.
Can I have a piece of toast in my mouth the whole time?

it's an achievement if you carry the toast to work the whole way in your mouth

Kinda why I like the atelier games a lot. You're just a girl trying to make her way as an alchemist in the world. Or find your mother. Or rebuild your kingdom as a princess.

Jeff should just be a video duder instead. It always feels like he's going into different realities and dimensions whenever he has control of the Tricaster.

this was me this morning before remembering, while brushing my teeth, that time changed overnight
so then I was wide awake and had nothing to do for an hour before work...
wtf, i don't remember this UPF at all. >.<
They can, but the limitations of video games (structure, production and interactivity) causes a lot of missing subtleties which you otherwise take for granted in other mediums, so a sledgehammer approach to storytelling is instead favoured.
It's why the lower-budget/smaller games often have a more effective story, they bake the whole thing into text and then let your imagination do the heavy lifting (which is really just emulating other mediums, so consequently acts as an unfortunate reminder how far video games still have left to go).

Let's go even way back where Jeff fell and never came back up. I love this comment.
"This is the part we're going to flash back to when it turns out at the end of the movie that Jeff actually died in that fall and the whole of reality has just been his feverish last few moments"
Yeah I suppose when the medium is interactive you cannot take for granted people are consuming it in a way that allows subtlety to come across. But then it does remind me of what Blow said in that interview with Austin and Jeff that lots of video games are going through the motions like movies.
The end of the world. A prophecy. A hero etc etc.
I was just thinking on this because some of my favourite games stories do not have these things, or subvert these things. It's kind of why I tend to like Obsidian stories for example; they rarely use an end of the world thing and tend to go for more personal stakes in their stories. But that means you need to give a shit about the characters I suppose and games are pretty bad at that too.
I'm picturing more of a St. Elsewhere ending where it was all in a snow globe. That seems like the right dumb insanity to me.

Thanks for reminding me of this stream. I need to watch the full thing some day.

Is that a good thing? The best part about David Cage games are how exceptionally terrible they devolve into at certain points. A mediocre or even an ok story would make his games even more of a chore to go through than they usually are.

Whenever Drew returns from a vacation, this is how I picture he does it.
Woo! Let's hope they announce some plans on the Bombcast or something. Going by what Jeff said at the end of UPF it seemed like some of their plans were still up in the air. Hopefully they do stuff on the set, I'm not a fan of Dan's initial plan of doing a solo stream (that was probably before they formally started planning stuff though).
Technically not a MMO shutdown video, but the Playstation Home video they did this year was great.

Sorry for being a dumb new GB fan, but when do the Extra Life streams usually start? I only know that it happens before American Thanksgiving
The official day is on November 7. When they start depends on what kind of schedule they're going for. If it's over two days it'll probably start on Friday or Saturday, if it's three days it'll start on Thursday or Friday. We'll know for sure soon.

Yup, I wanna see the interaction, the breakdown and tiredness and the minds slowly being lost.
Make them do Mario Party Party 6 in the middle of it!

Same. I loved Ryan getting into those old games. It even convinced me to pick up the latest winter and summer games. Sadly, I suspect they will be the last ever produced.
Looks like the skeptics were right; no good can come from anime.

We would witness Dan murdered live on stream...
I predict Mario Party Party 6 will be an early 2016 thing, maybe even as early as one of the first big features they do after returning from christmas vacation. I also predict that there will be a site redesign (also possibly a logo redesign) some time in 2016 for Giant Bomb. I feel like Jeff and the staff are coming close to a boiling point for wanting a complete site renovation.

I knew anime was trouble
Mario Party Party should just be a PAX thing now since a live audience does a lot for it.
That's true, I'm all for more live MPPs. When's the soonest PAX? I guess it's PAX South at the end of January. Not sure if GB attends South, I forget.
