Doesn't matter if he doesn't make a sequel, he will still use the mechanics of Heavy rain in his next game. So it will be a spiritual successor in a way and will play very similar. Well that's my guess anyway. It's stupid to throw out a winning formula or game because you're to cool for sequels.

Just name the game similar :)
Like Demons Souls, and Dark Soul... Soul Calibur, Soul Edge

Heavy Snow, or, Bloody Rain

The only down side to this though is that they could make a game with a great memorable character and we wouldn't see him/her again because they don't do sequels. Imagine seeing the characters in Uncharted for the first time and ND said they wern't going to do a sequel. Great potential characters...wasted.

Then at least make another game, different story, different atmosphere (maybe even a comedy horror or something) with the same controls.

Any game with Madison in it and I'm sold...Tiger ggggrrrroooowwwllll!!!! ;-)

This generation needs new IPs anyway (no more shoooters) we need adventure games, platformers, rpg, action, anything thats not a shooter were overstocked in that genre lol

Maybe eventually they can go back to Heavy Rain, but for now make a new IP

Because every publisher prefers Sequels because they are name brand and sell well even if you don't advertise, because people kind of feel attached to them(uncharted 1,2,3,gears1,2,3,halo etc,,,,)

I still have my copy of indigo prophecy and heavy rain 2 of my fav games. Did you know David Cage approached Microsoft for heavy rain IP and the answer was NO.

Look at over the past year how many developers say great things about being sony's 1st party studios or having a great partnership with sony because of how open PSN and how sony is willing to take HUGE risks with some of these IP's(heavy rain,infamous,little big planet etc,,,,)

One thing i wish we would have gotten more was DLC for heavy rain INSTEAD of MOVE support. But whatever David cage is working on i am sure it will be ps3 exclusive there was already some old news about his new game being also for sony so can't wait to check it out even if its ps3,xbox360 and pc. David cage brings something new and fresh and i personally can't wait to check it out.

Last but not least heavy rain sold over 2 million which is a great number for the kind of game it was. If you have not played it go buy it NEW for under 20 bucks to support the devs and enjoy one of the better games on any console

The industry is overly reliant and inundated with sequels, and too few studio heads are willing to take the risk with a new IP and just go for the easier option of trying to establish a franchise instead. Video games need more people like David Cage and I wholly support him in his next venture, just like I did with Fahrenheit and Heavy Rain.

Heavy Rain was a great game great story I wouldn't mind a sequel to Heavy Rain like do one sequel call the game done. Seriously the game warrants a sequel shame it's not coming.

Good luck to this guy, that's exactly was publishers don't want - big name developers. They want big name studios that they can control completely, where no one person makes or breaks it.

When something is "really" good. You support it. Doesn't mean milk it dry. But people come to love characters, movies, themes. novels and series. Starting over every time is going to lead to a lot of disinterest. He'll figure that out very quickly.

They need to make a SIMS like game only more adult and gritty like HR. Imagine a SIMS game with the same realism of HR where you can get married, have children, try to keep your spouse happy, get a divorce, comit adultery, murder your neighbor, steal, commit crimes, have a mistress, become either a loving parent or a low life scumbag, become big business man or a failure.Even have nudity and violence just like HR.

@ ZBlacktt their are novels that have diffferent characters in every book and that doesn't stop people from buying them. A mature person doesn't cling to characters and throw a tantrum when the author decides to take a character away or do a different story. HR's story was finished and its time for a new one not to try and drag out the story like so many developers do. Do you think they should make a SOTC 2 where the boy fights 16 more Colossuses? No, because that cheapens the experience.

preferred HR to farenehit

but Shenmue was incredible

great interview and i wouldn't mind them being first party. in the end it means more resources meaning more better games. greatly interested in what quantic is brewing up.
