Millions of Heavy Rain fans were psyched to learn that the game will be patched to support Playstation Move. Unfortunately, motion-control support will come at the expense of original content. Instead of creating more Heavy Rain Chronicles, Quantic Dream was told to prioritize Move support. Quantic Dream founder and co-CEO David Cage told NowGamer:
We proposed three episodes about one hour long and being focused on the background of the main characters. I thought fans would really enjoy these episodes because they explained many aspects of HR and why characters are who they are. Unfortunately, Sony preferred to ask us to focus on Move to support the device rather than on creating new content.
Move support for Heavy Rain is important and I totally understand why Sony would want that over new content. It absolutely makes sense from a business perspective. As a huge fan of the game and Quantic Dream, I’m bummed that the company has put original content on the back burner.
How do you feel about this move? Would you rather have new chapters in Heavy Rain? Or are you more interested in PlayStation Move support?
I understand adding Move support but that can't possibly take the whole Quantic Dream dev team to implement. I don't see why they can't do Move support AND DLC at the same time. The taxidermist DLC was intense.
@RRODisHere Quantic Dream allegedly has a new IP in the works, along with adding Move support to Heavy Rain. The company isn't all that big.
