Heavy Rain Interview

An impressive "surprise" demo at this year's E3, Heavy Rain grabbed the attention of a lot of curious show-goers thanks to its excellent visuals, believable actress, and the fact that it's an all-new adventure game from the same folks that brought us 2005's award-winning Indigo Prophecy.

Unfortunately for most of us, a lot of information about the new game wasn't readily available at the show. To help straighten things out, IGN spoke with the France-based development team, Quantic Dream. Founder and CEO David Cage, COO and Executive Producer Guillaume de Fondaumière, and Lead Character Designer Thierry Prodhomme all chimed in with answers (and allusions) to a number of our most immediate questions.

I can't believe this game got so much hype. Was I the only one that (tried to) play Indigo Prophecy?

Could have possibilities.

The game engine looks good. And I loved Fahrenheit.

So fingers crossed on this one.

5 - No sense...

I dont get the point to this game. I mean if its like Indigo Propheies, the story is fine, although the gameplay looks like its lacking.Basically it looks pretty, that all.

8 - Multi-format

In the interview (page 4) the developer announces that it's in development for Xbox360, PS3 and PC, like pretty much all next gen titles are.

Well not pretty much 'all'. With PS3 titles that are anounced, it's pretty much all indeed because the software industry is uncertain of the PS3 succes. So they make their titles also available to other platforms.

On the other side, 360 is having more and more exclusives and real good ones:

Gears of War
Forza 2
Viva Piniata
Lost World
Too Human
Halo 3
Moto GP '06

and on and on. All titles that will not apear on the PS3 for sure

Alot of people did believe that this game was exclusive to the PS3. But bernie is right it did read for the 360 and PC as well.

10 - tech demo

To the people that say this "game" doesn't make sense.

There is no "game" here. Sorry if you're confused. This is a tech-demo. A proof of concept. A test.

I'm not sure how you can't understand that. There is no gameplay, there are no controls, there is no story, there is no interaction. Get it?

Look pretty and the movements of her body and charactor look fantasic, but what makes it look really fake are the glassy eyes and the lack of movement in the mouth.

Yeah, the mouth moves, but it looks stiff.

Either way, if this is anything like the quality of Indigo Prophecy (Fahrienheit in the Europe), it will be excellent. I loved Indigo.

Glad to hear that it's going to other consoles as well as the PS3.

13 - who care's...

If it is only a tech demo it's the way the whole thing was scripted that grabed my attension when I watched the demo and the thing that shocked me was how good the animation was and how well it expressed emotions
Don't forget MGS4 is still just a tech demo and I thought this was a far better illustration what next gen should be about games have allway's lacked good stories with a few exeptions (KOTOR)
I want more games with an engaging plot lines large games at the moment seem to be just big for the sake of it and not big because of great plot twist or fresh idea's that change the game significantly.

13.1 - Mass Effect blows this up!!

Mass Effect is a outline for the way next-gen games should look. GOW also. The screens for Mass Effect look so real you wouldn't even think they were from a game!! This game will look way better closer to release. Not knocking this game but right now it doesn't look that great!!
