it’s a story interspersed with quick time events, and the moral at the end is basically “racism bad”. the storytelling is fine, but it’s nothing revolutionary.
also you’d be giving money to david “in my games all women are whores” cage.
In fairness to David Cage, his response to those (and other) allegations was:
“I have never said or even thought such things. I fully understand people were shocked by seeing those words, and I am deeply sorry for the pain and confusion they have caused to women and the LGBTQIA+ community. The quotes are abhorrent, and they do not reflect my views, nor the views of anyone at Quantic Dream.”
Did he say it and/or believe it? I have no idea. But certainly something to think about before buying a Quantic Dream game.
I remembered something else just after I posted this- i’m surprised it didn’t come up in my first searches.
The other controversy was in Beyond: Two Souls. It was one of the first modern games to use motion capture for voice actors to get more realism. After release, people found that the devs had made a fully nude model of one of the characters. They never scanned the actor (Elliott Page) nude, but modeled what was missing. It doesn’t appear in normal gameplay, but was accessible in debug mode.

Also, the man doesn’t know how to do effective allegories.
“Look, the robots all have to stand in the back of the bus and are treated badly! Really makes you think, hm?”

Creepy as fuck.
it’s in the (french) court proceedings, so the lawyers certainly believe he said those things. https://stevivor.com/news/quantic-dream-doesnt-make-games-fags-cage-allegedly-says/ https://www.resetera.com/threads/inside-the-quantic-dream-vs-le-monde-mediapart-trial-following-the-2018-reports-im-not-under-oath-so-can-i-lie-verdict-on-july-8th.434522/
