Is David Cage the future of video games?

David Cage has claimed games are for children and things like "boss battles" are outdated. His vision for games are short games designed for adults like Heavy Rain.

Do you think his vision of the future will come into

fruition? Will we all be playing Heavy Rain 2 with oculus rift when we are older?

David Cage shouldn't be the future of anything.

The guy is full of himself

If his idea of the future is a lot more games like Heavy Rain and Beyond then no fvcking thank you. I don't want more pretentiousness and less gameplay

David needs to play Zero Escape and then shut the f*ck upBlabadon

How did this guy get famous?

Big no, games should NOT be trying to become movies, they are an interactive experience defined by gameplay - not cinematics.  If I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie.  IMO this is one of the worst trends in gaming, since it is antithetical to what makes a game. 

I think there will be more games like that but but classic games will never go away.

No matter what the haters say, he creates one of a kind experiences that deserve to be played.

I don't get the hate behind this guy.  He's just doing his own thing is trying to push the techniques of interactive storytelling.

The future? Laughbly no. There is no "future" to games because what makes gaming great is the huge variety of types of games. But he is important because he has a very strong vision of what he wants, he doesnt fall into typical trappings most other game designers do, he makes the games he wants to make and he is overall very smart and he makes great games.

So yes while I loved heavy rain a great deal I also want to go on a kill crazy rampage, grow my townfolk into a giant thriving country, I want to shoot space marines, I want to fling birds at pigs, and I want to race cars plus a whole lot more. Gaming would suck if just one person was the future of gaming.

You don't define what is a game. Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead by Telltale are two of the best games this generation. Movies games are a great.

Nope.

I don't want David cage anywhere near the future of my games

No, only an ignorant would believe such bullshit. What David Cage creates are nothing more than cinematic adventure games. It's a sub-genre of the over 30 year old Adventure genre. It doesn't matter how popular it might get, it'll never replace the wealth of variety within the gaming industry, because regardless what sci fi flicks will tell you, the variety of genres have only expanded with time, they haven't decreased. 

And that's because the human mind is imaginative and creative. That will never stop. Hence why gaming will never be predominantly like that or in a 'virtual reality' type a thing. It will happen, but it'll have a market as large as Kinect, at most. 

If your future of gaming is the death of variety and forever playing a couple of genres, you should be ashamed of yourself. 

lol NO

calling it.

Anyway, on David Cage. F*** no! Give me Kojima's "cinematic experience" any day.

David Cage is an idiot.

He does sound full of himself given those quote from TC, i also would not call a niche market the future of the industry. I think there needs to be a new defination for this industry, when we lump every product into GAME category, it does not make sense in opinion, maybe interactive entertainment would make more sense cause how do i explain to my grand dad the difference between a product Beyond Two Souls and Tetris or Diablo, the variation of products on the market at the moment is making it difficult to just call all of them games.
