For what they do yes. The games aren't comparable though.

Good God no, don't get me wrong I love Farenheit and Heavy Rain, but Naughty Dog is just on another level.

Quantic Dream seem to have massive differences in how their games play compared to Naughty Dog. Naughty Dog on a whole though is one of the best companies in the bussiness right now with some outstancing titles past and present.

Sure, if you like games that are barely games and ham-fisted melodrama.

They are very different developers, why try to compare them directly?

At this point QD should just make animated movies, as they're really not that great at gamepaly and after giving a big thing about how games don't need violence or explosions, the first clip of Beyond they showed had a ton of explosions and guns.  Speaking of, the gameplay they recently showed of gunplay and cover shooting looks very clunky.  I get that the game is about the story, but if they're going to add a cover based shooting section at least don't make it quick time events.

The only Quantic Dream game I played was Heavy Rain. But it was awesome! I played it non stop start to finish, lol. What a great night that was.

As for Naughty Dog, well I played Uncharted 1 and 2. Both awesome games as well. But the thing is, they are vastly different and not really comparable. They are both amazing at what they do though.

You can't compare and who ever says naughty dog are on another level are wrong.

Naughty Dog are great storytellers but what you have to understand is that naughty dog make a game which does not bridge off it's a straight story from start to finish but it's polished very well.

Quantic Dream on the other hand are being very experimental in their story telling and are trying to create a story which is driven by you, between heavy rain and uncharted the scripts and story boards are 3 times if not more bigger in heavy rain, and this is where there problem lies in some respects, their trying to character movie/game which is controlled and interacted with you. they are on par in my eyes with their passion on what they want to achieve.

You're comparing a tutorial level to the end of Uncharted 3 ?? Ok. The point here was not to compare Uncharted to Heavy Rain (Which are two different genres and play styles.), but their ability as developers to create good games. Please stop comparing games because it's just silly.

Quantic dream is more a educated mans game its deals with decision making and interactivness..it uses the environment,emotions,character interaction for great storytelling. quantic dream has been very focused with motion capture in games...My favourate is Omikron the Nomad soul and Indigo prophecy...Quantic dream was the first game which introduced love making and emotional relationships in game. Naughty dogs Uncharted series are the only ones which are famous..I personally liked Uncharted 2 the best.. but Uncharted has sometime over cockiness and exaggerated falls and fights vs Heavy rain realistic decision making fights. Uncharted 2 has the spirit of a adventure movie but cannot match the emotional depth of quantic dream games.... french and american thinking is different...both have different aesthetic values

OH GOD NO. I didn't even like The Last of Us very much and was disappointing by Uncharted 3 but I would never insult them by comparing them to Quantic Dream

Quantic dream is more a educated mans game

There are not enough gifs featuring people laughing, people facepalming, or Joffrey getting slapped in the world to show what I feel from reading that statement after having played Heavy Rain

Quantic dream was the first game which introduced love making and emotional relationships in game

Also, not true

For sure. I haven't played the last of us but Beyond looks better than anything with the Uncharted name on it.

Quantic Dreams make moovies that look like games and Naugty Dog makes games that look like moovies. If you want to sit back and push 1 button at a time than buy games from QD and when you want to sit on the edge of the couch, pushing buttons as if your life would depend on it than buy games from ND.

Yep. And as every educated man knows 10 year-olds are prone to chasing after ballons and running into traffic without looking. Every educated man also knows that vacant lots are often called wastelands.

Well I haven't seen much of 'Beyond', but that clip where Ellen Page stares vacantly while the cop asks "uh, you want some coffee or something?" for several minutes sold me.

HR's storyline sounds like such contrived shit I don't know how anyone says it's good at all.
