Cage: PS3 was 'the right' platform for Heavy Rain
Heavy Rain direct sings heavy praise for Sony's PS3
Despite being a high-risk niche title, Quantic Dream's PS3-exclusive Heavy Rain was received warmly by both critics and consumers when it launched in February.
Quantic Dream CEO David Cage credits this success largely to the PlayStation 3. Speaking with GamesIndustry.biz, the French director said the console's image as a multimedia device helped Heavy Rain reach an audience that would be more interested in cinematic games.
Im absolutely happy with the agreement with Sony, it was the perfect move, Cage explained. It was the right platform for what we wanted to achieve, it was the platform with the Blu-ray disc, promoting movies, promoting a more sophisticated entertainment experience.
With that said, it appears the studio may be considering multiple platforms for its next project. Now that were established why are we limiting ourselves to one share of the market when we can reach more, he said.
