After voicing his disappointment on having to abandon the Chronicles to focus on the version of the main game he has reaffirmed that the rest of the company is still working on their ideas for the future.

Cage told Eurogamer that they are still forging ahead with their more daring ideas whilst they polish off the motion controll support for Heavy Rain.

Cage explained: "Most of the team currently works on the next generation of technology and future concepts. We plan to significantly improve the technology compared to Heavy Rain, continue to take risks and explore new grounds."

"Many people wondered why we were not 'milking the cow' after the success of Heavy Rain - why we were not creating a sequel for next Christmas," Cage continued. "It may sound weird from the outside, but this is really not how I see my company. We genuinely try to be pioneers for this medium and discover new possibilities, which means taking more risks and not always giving people what they expect."His final comments cement his continued commitment to exploring the creative potential of video games. He added: "It also means having creative freedom and going every day to the office with a big smile thinking you are really lucky to do what you do, and being proud of your games."
