Sony never asked for Heavy Rain 2, says David Cage

No one asked for a 4 Hour Movie Sequel.

But...I need Heavy Rain 2, I miss Norman Jayden :(

See that EA? Its called developer freedom, you should try it sometime.

i can imagine a sony executive going all adam jensen and saying "i never asked for this.".

Instead of another Heavy Rain I'm looking forward to Skyfall (the next Bond movie) or other things that drop from the sky.

This guys such a tool. He's turning into the David Cameron of gaming, feeling the need to inform us of all his little thoughts and opinions. He says this stuff without thinking it through. Devs always band these key phrases around like they are absolute, but they are too busy trying to sound clever to think about what they are saying... Complete Freedom... what a misnomer! Its a Video game... No matter how many boundaries he thinks he is removing he is still creating more and fundamentally STILL stuck with the worst one of all. The main and the most important limitation that all games suffer... The User/game interface.. Plug into screen pick up controller/keyboard. Also the limitations the game itself.. the boundaries, the memory limitations, the impossibility at this stage of making a character move like a real human being in the full context of an open game world. A mere game cannot account for ALL physical possibilities. Interfacing with a game is like looking at a framed painting. It does not exist beyond the boundaries of the frame. Making it out to be something other than this is futile. Now if he said he was delivery a fresh approach or coming at a game from a different angle, then that might be accurate. But complete freedom is inaccurate because..... "I cannot decide to do something other than what the developer allows me to do"... there will always be a limitation in this medium.  He should use the time he spends thinking about how he can sound "profound" on concentrating on what actually falls out of his mouth.

sony is cool 

Maybe if he wrote a game that required you to play a more active role, that wasn't filled with QTE's and had a decent narrative then maybe then people would ask for a sequel.

Gamers never asked for Heavy Rain but we still got it.

David Cage needs to look beyond his huge ego once in a while.

Heavy Rain deserved a sequel, but not a forced one, props to Sony here.

I wish Microsoft was like this with Rare. Killer Instinct 3 would put a smile on my face.

If this is indeed the case, then good on Sony.

When I think of David Cage, I think of someone who hasn't forgotten the dream of making games from his imagination, rather than what his competitor's are doing, or what genre is trendy at the time. it's not always financially viable to take these risks, but I'm glad somewhere out there is doing it.

As much as I want to punch david cage in the face for being an idiot, this is good news. I just hope they use their freedom well. Its not something that many devs get thesedays on big games.

game was overrated. ya it was good but i feel it's trendy to say this game was better than it really was...had a fun time playing it and i appreciate games like this but enough already 

Keep it up Sony.

News like this makes me proud to be a ps3 owner. It's no wonder that ps3 exclusives are some of the top games ever and are rarely a miss. Kudos to sony on the risks they take!

Yea how about Indigo Prophecy 2?

YEA Heavy Rain 2 FTW!!!

I absolutely love Sony and what they are doing, it's just a shame that I can't afford a PS3.

Sony has really been getting alot of praise and they really deserve it. Queasy Games, Jenova Chen and now David Cage all giving props to Sony really shows how much faith they place in the projects that they fund. I can't see a game like Journey being published by any other company. Only one out of Microsoft and Nintendo to take such risks in publishing The Last of Us, Puppeteer and etc at such a late stage in the console cycle. Also The Last Guardian would've probably been canned by now if it were published by another company. Serious props to Sony.

Quantic Dream's is a joke and not a funny one.

Good to hear. Sony's definitely making the right moves, putting out some exciting stuff, encouraging unique ideas and I hope it pays off for them, they deserve it

The pressure for a sequel is what destroys little by little most of the franchises today...

It's kinda saddening what's going on with Sony right now. As a PC gamer, i can tell you that i think Sony is one of the publishers. During these last few years, they've mixing it up quite a bit, bringing tons of varied exclusives while still bringing sequels to beloved games, instead of just sticking to the same old tired games like Microsoft does with Halo, Gears and now Forza. How good are those games is personal opinion, but it can't be denied that Sony at least gives interesting things a chance and try to offer a more diverse experience. I hope this continues.

Heavy rain was a wonderful game but what I am disappointed about is they promised us "Chronicles" DLC and what did they do put on Indefinite hold. Later on it was cancelled. I hope this won't happen with this future game

Heavy Rain 2 would be awful, the storyline was totally tied up at the end (except for one of Madison's endings, but expanding on that would mean only that playthrough is canon). I'm glad they didn't decide to milk it into a series just because it was popular.

It sounds to me like they just wanted them to create something new for the PS3. Who cares if they didn't ask for a direct sequel as long as they still liked the idea of them creating a new IP or what have you. Heavy Rain is the type of game that a sequel really isn't needed or won't really fit.

A Heavy Rain sequel makes me think of Saw's extremely convoluted storyline. I have no interest in seeing a copycat Origami Killer, or learning the original's TRUE ultimate master plan to be further explained in Heavy Rain 3: Floodgate. The loose ends were tied up and the conclusion was satisfying in my opinion.
