We've had this discussion before, and unfortunately, you still misunderstand a lot. He's never said his games "are the future", nor does he expect anyone to follow suit. But, judging from the reactions his games/demos/tech gets from people in the industry, he must be doing something right. That's what matters.

Do I need to end up flagging things at the end, BESIDES USING AN EMOTICON, to end up showing I am engaging in sarcasm, pointed at the AAA side of things, and agreeing with Mummelmann as a result?  Because I included other works besides what Cage does, not sure why you thought i was talking about Cage.  When did Cage, for example, use Eminem to do his soundtrack.

It still reflects things you've said on numerous occassions. So, maybe you've had a change of heart, maybe you don't think his games are only a "Press X to Jason"b - (direct quote), but your "EMOTICONS" don't hide what I've seen you say before.

If you reread my post, you will end up seeing me trying to jam as much of the mentality going into AAA titles today as possible.  I didn't just take a shot at QTE events, but also wannabe screen writers, hiring Eminem, and pushing a digital dog as some sort of major accomplishment.  Now people have to scroll back to read what I wrote.  And no, I have not had a change of heart.  I do have a larger lists of beefs of things I see are causing the industry to go under, which includes wanting to be Hollywood.  You would benefit greatly by seeing what I said NOW, not what I said then.  And I certainly don't owe YOU an apology for my thoughts regarding Heavy Rain, as if you are the one who created the game.  Press X to Jason merely shows, since you brought it up now, that the videogame indusrty isn't even close to being in the same class of storytelling as Hollywood, or book publishers, nor do I really expected it ever to get there.  Top storytellers have more control in books, and can be compensated better by doing movies.  I am sure Ken Levine, for example, is going to get paid well for penning a screenplay, odds are more than he is making on Bioshock Infinite.  You want to know what I think?  Videogame makers need to stop trying to tell stories.  They can build worlds, and certain build real games.  But storytelling?  Sorry, not everyone has the budget of Infinity Ward, and they certainly can't afford to hire the writer of Traffic.  For them to try otherwise, is folly.

There, that is my thoughts on it, since you insist on harping on what I wrote, and took offense to it.  Heavy Rain really isn't something significant enough for me to keep dwelling on.  Hey, maybe it is for you, but it isn't for me.
