David Cage from Quantic Dream wants players to play the new game without any prior knowledge.
David Cage said that there is a difference between Beyond's and Heavy Rain’s control methods and he wishes that people play his game without presumptions. "I think there should be no
preparation for Beyond. You must go into the game trying to learn as
little as possible. Like other game creators, I wish I could say nothing
and show nothing, and put a plain black cover on the shelves so that
players start the game completely blank, with no information from
trailers."
"This is something that is obviously not
possible, unfortunately. For people who trust us and who loved Heavy
Rain – we will surprise you, we will give you something you expect
without even knowing that you were expecting it."
"I think it will be a real experience. We
believe in it and we’re working hard for it. We are really surprised
every day to see the game being born on the screens; it’s a real treat
and a real surprise. I hope it has the same effect on the players."
