David Cage, the leader of Quantum Dream, believes that more video games should tackle difficult subjects in order to add more meaning to their gameplay mechanics.

The developer tells The Official PlayStation Magazine that, “Games are quite shy at talking about different things, most are about facing hordes of monsters or saving the world or whatever, few games actually talk about the real world, about real people, about their relationship, their emotions, their feelings.”

The leader of Quantic Dream says that human relationships and politics seem to offer the most fertile subjects for meaningful video games at the moment.

The studio is currently working on Beyond: Two Souls, a game that will follow one character as he matures and develops a relationship with a supernatural entity.

The game will be launched exclusively on the PlayStation 3 on October 8.
