David Cage, designer and director of Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls, doesn't want to give gamers something they already know they like.
Cage said too many developers and publishers are serving established interests--that's why triple-A releases are so dominated by sequels and minor variations. Of course, gamers vote with their dollars and "encourage [publishers] to keep making the same game every Christmas, and everybody’s happy."
Hint: Cage isn't happy.
“If you’re interested in innovation and believe that games could be more than shooters, then you realize that sequels kill creativity and innovation."
