@steele_johnson: The guy believe that truly great games should have the flexibility that allow players to take rein of how gameplay turn out, as oppose to linear gameplay. Uncharted, Heavy Rain, and Telltale's The Walking Dead are sort of linear games in the sense that the story line and gameplay are preset or limited.
Examples of highly flexible games are sport and fighting games. Each gameplay of these games is nearly impossible to recreate. So do the experience and impression.
Satisfaction is more important than the BS he was babbling about. I'm talking about the amount of pleasure a game can make players felt. Uncharted, Heavy Rain, and Telltale's The Walking Dead have done better job in that aspect when compared to Deus Ex. I understand what he talked about, but those games successes explain why Deus Ex has not reached the same height the other mentioned games have reached.
I'm a big fan of David Cage's games. Really looking forward to this upcoming game. Kara is a highly likable character in my opinion. I think Beyond: Two Souls isn't well-received because of the limitation on working with celebrities (well, at least when I compared it to Heavy Rain experience).
There are so many haters regarding his works. Let me speak for him once and for all. Most (if not all) of his games are mature rating. They were designed for MENTALLY ADULT gamers. Video game is considered an interactive form of entertainment. His game is clearly not a QTE movie. More or less, I thoroughly enjoy playing them. Heavy Rain is highly successful in both finance and reception.
Emotional engagement or immersion is one of the appeals in his games. It really put me into characters' perspective. The impact is much better than most unrealistic RPG games, and the effort in creating this unique type of game is nothing short of admirable. It might be just my gaming taste, but I feel like I don't lack of the ability to appreciate excellently made games in general.
Characters look more realistic in the old version, but the environments look better in the new one. Resident Evil graphics at its best is in the first two remake games.
Make backward compatibility like Wii and Wii U consoles that can run Gamecube and Wii game discs. Then, deal with digital contents and licensing later. That's what should be done from the get go. Spare time and nonsense.
Remember once upon a time recently after Xbox One launched, there was an official comment from Xbox saying a similar line, "If we doing backward compatibility, we're really going backward." Saying that I believe because it would benefit gamers, not Microsoft. Just like why Skype (after acquired by Microsoft for ages) is still only available on Xbox One possibly to promote the console sell.
The way Xbox One backward compatibility does is worst than PC emulators (I'm not a PC gamer anyway, to much fuss to deal with). Nevertheless, gamers are surely appreciated the backward compatibility feature. Believe it or not, after saying all the negative things, Xbox is still my preferred choice of console.
