Sony has told CVG that releasing new IP as left-field as Heavy Rain is a ‘gamble’ – but that it has full faith the title can become a watershed moment in gaming.


Sony product manager for Heavy Rain told CVG:

"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 – Farenheit – but also in terms of the tech demos they showed in the run up to Heavy Rain."
