Quotes from David Cage

What we believe at Quantic Dream is that there is a space for adult games: meaningful experiences for a mature audience.

I hope that there will be more and more games that will have something to say and become a little bit more meaningful.

We believe that games are a legitimate medium, as legitimate as literature, to talk about very dark and serious things.

Life is sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad, sometimes you're in love, sometimes you fight, and that's a life.

I'm inspired by film-makers such as Ridley Scott, David Fincher, Orson Welles.

The thing is, the better the hardware, the more time we spend to improve the visuals to take advantage of the hardware.

Technology is not going to be perceived by different classes of people in the same way.

I'm not a big fan of free to play. And this is just me, but when I buy something, I don't like the idea that I start playing for free, but each time I want to do something a little more interesting or progress, I have to pay. I'd rather pay up front.

'Heavy Rain' responded to a period of my life, things I strongly believed in, things I wanted to suggest or experiment with. I'm really happy with the overall feedback; the reception was a success.

We want to satisfy our fans, but we want to surprise them, too. That's our challenge.

If we keep making things based on violence and platform jumping, you don't need Ellen Page to do this, to be honest. It would be a waste of time and a waste of money.

Some people are shocked when a game evokes real-world issues. But this platform is about becoming the characters, not just seeing them from the outside, like in a film.

We want to keep developing original games in the genre we pioneered but also expand our audience by being present on all platforms.

Playing with light is something that is very important, especially when you want cinematography in your game.

Each time you buy a used game, this is money that doesn't go into the pocket of the people that took the risk to create this, to finance it, to develop it.

With 'Detroit,' we realized that we wanted to create an experience that could be meaningful.

There are different games for different people and different expectations. Sometimes you want a great story, and sometimes you don't. I don't believe we should have stories in every single game. Sometimes it doesn't matter.

I disagree that injecting emotion into a game comes at the expense of the playing experience.

The first movies were made by technicians building their own cameras. Movies became an art when technicians worked on the technique and artists took care of the content.

Whether you make an action blockbuster or a comedy or a drama, you've got the right camera and all the right technology to do it. In games, it's not the same yet, and I would like to see technologies dealing with cameras the way we do - dealing with bouquet, dealing with performance capture, with lighting - with all this stuff the way we do.

I'm not fighting for the right to do whatever we want without any restriction. We need to be careful of the fact that we also make games for kids and teenagers.
