1. As long as there's a market need for gaming, there will always be a gaming industry. This whole dying thing is nonsense.
2. Yes. shooters are stagnating. But there're already so many different genres other than shooters. Action, stg, action adventure, rpg, fighting, sports, platformer, puzzle. And there are hybrid types too. Does David Cage even aware of these different genres?
3. David Cage's game sux. If a guy goes onto the E3 stage and the first thing he talks about is how he adores some actress, there is a serious problem.

I HATE David Cage, I really do. He's a pretentious a**hole who made that bland piece of s**t called "Heavy Rain" and yet had the balls to call himself a "Auteur of Video Games" even though it was just a modern FMV game that had the same depth and complexity of "Night Trap". Now he's saying that games need to innovate when every game he's made is a next-gen Sega (Mega)CD game? What a fucking hypocrite.
David Cage is the same as Peter Molyneux for me; long on talk about big ideas that I can agree with, shite execution of own ideas.
Games won't die, but a lot of devs will get burned with constantly following the "me too" route instead of just making their own unique product. I'm a guy who likes FPS games, but I don't want everything to fall into that mold. I like to play other kinds of games, too, not just ten different shades of the FPS pewpewpew experience.
I wish someone would make another game much akin to the first Metroid Prime, with a lot more room to explore and a little more depth to the environments.

There was nothing particularly groundbreaking or innovative about Fahrenheit or Heavy Rain. Everything that had been done in those two titles had already been accomplished in games like Longest Journey, Syberia and Still Life.
Fahrenheit & Heavy Rain are only innovative to those who've never played a decent adventure game on consoles.
Cage is the last person to be crying innovation.

He's right. Unless the art form want's to get stuck in yearly release cycles for products, developers need to continue to innovate, evolve, and grow. David Cage's games are far from perfect, but he does that and I respect him for it.
Contrary to all the people bitching and moaning in the comments because the controls in Heavy Rain weren't "tight enough" or something. You guys are missing the point, but what else is new.

I'm sorry but that's pure hyperbole speech. The industry has more innovation now than it has ever had. Don't let all these people who just don't give a shit to look for the games fool you.
In theory this makes sense, in reality the emotional outcry Tomb Raider generated wasn't exactly the kind the devs expected, now do you see why they tend to stay safely in their comfort zone of monster killing/shooting?
I understand his train of thought on this and I feel quite similar although not about the death part. However, until we demand depth of great magnitude with both our words and our purchases we will not see anything really change.

Your name says it all. He said in the same interview that movies are too limited for him, since they are not interactive.

"What did Heavy Rain do different besides be a poorly written and glorified point and click adventure?"
He made a good game, that's why it got a good score on this site.

this generation had/has some of the most amazing games.. someone always says some shit about "gaming needing to innovate" like this every generation, and every generation there's a ton of amazing games being made that makes it awesome to be a gamer.
This has been the BEST era of video games so far.

While I do not necessarily disagree with him I do wish his career would die along with the industry he is so down on.
Why people keep giving this man money is beyond me.
I sincerely hope that he and all of the other mouthy, outspoken "rockstar" developer/designers retire to a deep dark hole in the wall somewhere they will never be heard again. Perhaps then perhaps then they and everybody else can get on with creating rather than bemoaning the state of things.
