quantic dream's heavy rain is hitting store shelves next week, and it may be the last game of its kind from director david cage. speaking with eurogamer, cage revealed ''''''that heavy rain is the end of my personal trilogy trying to tell the same type of stories with serial killers and stuff, in the thriller genre.'''''' it does appear that cage has had a certain fixation with the morbid, with his previous works -- omikron: the nomad soul and fahrenheit (indigo prophecy) -- all centering around serial killers.

so what's next for cage and crew beyond heavy rain? multiplayer seems to be one consideration, with cage calling it ''''''the next challenge.'''''' ''''''i have an idea of what it's going to take to make a multiplayer [game],'''''' cage admitted, adding it would be ''''''very exciting.''''''

whatever quantic dream decides to pursue, it's likely to involve motion controls in some way. considering heavy rain had motion controls in mind initially, it comes as no surprise that cage continues to express his interest in playstation's upcoming peripheral. ''''''we have a lot of interest in this motion controller, we start to play with it, and yeah, we definitely want to do something with it.''''''heavy rain's david cage done with his thriller 'trilogy' originally appeared on joystiq on wed, 17 feb 2010 20:15:00 est. please see our terms for use of feeds.
