Heavy Rain Will Not Get A Sequel

Posted on Wednesday, September 28 @ 09:41:39 Eastern by


In an interview with Develop, Quantic Dream David Cage reveals that he doesn't believe in the idea of sequels but instead using his name as the brand:

David Cage the brand… is about not having to make sequels. It’s about creating a brand that is the name of the creator, not Heavy Rain 1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 12.

Let me be stupid for one second; I’m not in this business to make money. I wrote Heavy Rain because I was excited about it, because there was something to say.

Yeah I could make Heavy Rain 2, but I’ve said what I’ve had to say about it. That’s the strength of Quantic Dream, to have the capacity to create new ideas, to make something that breaks ground.

Yeah we signed another deal with Sony. Hopefully we’re building something exciting, something different. Hopefully it will build on the foundations of Heavy Rain, but go forward in a very, very, different way.

I agree with him. Heavy Rain doesn't need a sequel, if just to prevent everyone from having to hear "Jason!" and Shaun!" again. And I like the fact that he puts his name on the line while pushing forward creatively as a designer. I'm sure that Kojima would have liked to create a video game that isn't Metal Gear Solid. At the same time, M. Night Shyamalan... well... Good luck, Mr. Cage. You're gonna need it.

    If anything, Quantic Dream's next game might be more of a spiritual successor, if the sequel hook is any indication.

    Never played Heavy Rain, but I might, sounds like the creative director is a fairly cool guy. The fact that it is an 'interactive movie' kind of turns me off, but eh, I may love it, who knows?

    I just hope he learns from his mistakes. Don't steer the story into incoherency like in Indigo Prophecy. Don't hire European voice actors to play American characters. Other than that, I'm looking forward to what he'll make next.

    Forget the game I don’t care about that. But I love the “Heavy Rain” picture! I can almost hear a heavily accented voice screaming “SSSSSSAAAAAASSSSSSHHHHHHAAAAAA!!!!!!!”

    Considering Heavy Rain has a billion different endings a sequel would be a very stupid idea. I'm glad to hear this news.
