As the sun set on the rusted haze of the Las Vegas skyline, the first day of DICE 2013 came to a close. All day long, leaders, pioneers and mavericks from the interactive entertainment industry took to the stage – then to the barstools – to discuss what’s next in video games.

We sat down with David Cage, CEO of Quantic Dream , to talk about the future of the business and more. Here’s what he told IGN.I can’t really talk about the PlayStation 4. We’re so impressed by what can still be done with the PlayStation 3. We can’t wait to see what can be done with PlayStation 4.On one hand, I understand consumer’s position. Games are expensive. When they buy something they want to be able to trade it, most of the time to buy more games. I can understand that point. On the other side, I understand the point of the industry. Each time you buy a used game, this is money that doesn’t go into the pocket of the people that took the risk to create this, to finance it, to develop it. This is also unfair. So I don’t know what is the right answer. I don’t know if making this impossible [to play used games] is the answer. Maybe it is, maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s more about explaining and about telling people who really love games that if they buy used games, there will be a day where there won’t be any new games at all.Beyond is almost in beta. It will come out this year and the release date will be announced soon.Freedom comes with responsibility. I'm not fighting for the right to do whatever we want without any restriction. We need to be careful of the fact that we also make games for kids, and teenagers. This is very sensitive we need to take care what we show them. But at the same time we need to be responsible, but we need to have more freedom. To me we need to have the same rights that film and TV series [have].Each time it doesn’t bring anything its gratuitous I feel uncomfortable. Its out of context its just doing it to be shocking. You have something that doesn’t bring anything to the story or the characters, just something that is being violent or sexual for the sake of shocking. When you look at films, some films are incredibly violent. Scarface, the last Quentin Tarentino. When its done with the talent of Tarentino, that’s fine, When its just pure violence without any context, it doesn’t work for me.We are really committed to work on PlayStation 3 and the future console, this is really what we want to focus on right now. This is not against the Vita, this is just what we started working on now, there’s no short term plan to work on Vita.Games are probably too expensive right now. I hope to see the price points decrease quickly on the next gen cycle. This is also a difficult situation because I see the game budgets get higher and higher because we’re trying to make better games, and the production value gets higher and higher. This is why they take more money to be made.There’s no game or project in development called in Singularity , I don’t have a clue what that is I’m not a big fan of free to play. And this is just me but when I buy something I don’t like the idea that I start playing for free but each time I want to do something a little more interesting or progress I have to pay. I’d rather pay up front. Have a free demo but then pay up front and then just play but not have something each time I need more coins I need to put extra money on the table. I understand that some people like that, that they choose how much they can invest. If they like it they can invest more. I just want to pay up front.
