Sony Says Producing Heavy Rain Was A “Risk”
Sony have revealed that the upcoming PS3 exclusive Heavy Rain was something of risk to produce though they were quick to add that although risky, producing a game as unique as Heavy Rain is what they are all about.
“Being Sony, I suppose we have a little more luxury to take a gamble on more original and innovative IP – and Heavy Rain definitely fits that category.”I suppose the risk is lessened if you have faith in the team behind the game and David and Guillaume and the guys at Quantic Dreams have really impressed, not just in terms of their back catalogue – Fahrenheit – but also in terms of the tech demos they showed in the run up to Heavy Rain.It would love for it to achieve [recognition as a watershed moment]. I really believe Heavy Rain has a great chance of breaking out. As well as the reviews, there also feels like there is a real groundswell of anticipation from gaming communities and trade alike – so let’s see how it goes.”
Fahrenheit is one of the best games I have ever played (it would be at the top of the list were it not for last quarter of the game) so I’m almost pissing my pants in anticipation of Heavy Rain.
Heavy Rain hits stores on February 23rd.
