Maybe he, like so many others (including me) is getting tired of Cage insisting that QTE's are an actual gameplay mechanic and make for a terrific and deep experience and his overall hipster projects?  |
Come on man, don't you know that is THE FUTURE OF GAMING! QTE events, Eminem doing the sound track, a digital dog you care about (digs up treasure and disarms enemies), and hiring a bunch of known actors to read your lines, and think you are actually a competent storyteller. And then all the other studios follow you, because you think you are making interactive movies. THAT is the future! Who needs original gameplay or replayability that you didn't script?

Why do people want gaming to go in one direction? I want it to go in several, his included.

It is called sarcasm. Trying to build a multiplath linear storytelling vehicle, only can be done so much. An issue with the industry now, as I have written on before, is the AAA trends isn't sustainable. It will produce far more losers than winners and contraction in the industry. Game designers need to focus on their strengths and stop going beyond that in most cases, WHEN there is a budget involved and the going beyond costs money. End result is you get people screaming how the ending to Mass Effect 3 sucked, for example.
