David Cage: Heavy Rain is a movie, not a game.

In this issue of Qore, Veronica Belmont interviewed the President and Director of Quantic dream's upcoming game Heavy Rain and in this interview, she asked David Cage this question:

"Veronica Belmont: If you were to tell someone very briefly what kind of game it ( heavy rain) is? what would you say?

David Cage: I would say it's not a game, I would say you are the hero of a movie, and the movie and the story changes based on your actions"

This is the best description of this game, it is like a movie and instead of just watching the movie, you are the hero of the movie which is something incredible to experience.

What do you think? discuss.

I think it'll be interesting. I'm looking forward to it.

I think its a great idea to stretch the gaming medium.

Hmm - That not good though it may go over big on the PS3.

Haven't you people ever played an adventure game?

This game is an adventure game. Their previous game was Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy.

you people act like its a surprise, they have always called it a interactive movie c1o2d3y

Thats exactly what im trying to say, if you played Fahrenheit / Indigo Prophecy its easy to make that description on Heavy Rain easily fit Fahrenheit, the whole premise of the game was that it was a movie, in some parts of the game you could do certain actions that change the outcome of the story (many if not all of the changes were minimal things), damn even the tutorial of Fahrenheit was on a movie studio.

Heavy Rain will just be a more modern take.

And for the last time Heavy Rain is an adventure game.

He should just say "choose your own adventure" and get it over with.

Critics--mostly the 360 crowd--Are going to take his words fo granted and refer to the comment as though he's being asbolutely literal.

I think it's a little combination of both, but he's obviously setting it up so that the critics don't take shots at it for being a lot more cinematic.BioShockOwnz

What is not clear so far for people is how they called it a movie game as non interactive cutscenes, this needs to be clarified because in every scene, in every movie in Heavy Rain is controlled by the player which makes it a much engaging experience and David Cage make sure of clearing this misunderstanding with his statement.

I would hardly call Indigo Prophecy an "interactive video". It was more like an old-school adventure game brought back to modern day.

meh, never was interested in this.

probably never will be.

It's sad. This "game" will be critically acclaimed, yet no one will buy it. :(BioShockOwnz

I think Heavy Rain will be an experience no one should miss out on and have in their collection.

I think the people who are weary of this because of the crappy games on the PS1/Saturn that were supposed to be "interactive movies" ... need to look at the quality of Heavy Rain, compared to the quality of games before.

Those games were created in an era when 3D was fairly new. This is 2009.

Those games were fmv. This isn't.

Those games had lower budgets. This doesn't.
