Quantic Dream Respond To Heavy Rain Reception

Wednesday, 10 Mar 2010 - 18:39PM

Quantic Dream co-founder Guillaume de Fondaumiere has given his comments on the critics and fans response to their blockbuster title Heavy Rain.

The PlayStation 3 exclusive was released by the Fahrenheit creators last month, flying to the top of the UK charts in its first week, and de Fondaumiere is pleased with the reaction so far.

"The mood of the team is pretty high - we've been working for three and a half years to deliver on a very strong promise," he said in an interview with GI.biz. "As I always say, reviews are important, sales are even more important, but the most important thing for David [Cage] and I was to deliver on the promise.

"I think this is really something that we've tried hard not to under-deliver on. It's always great when you see the specialised press and the gamers see it and reward it with great reviews on one hand and with good sales on the other. It's a very exciting time.

"I think that Heavy Rain's success is also a very important sign to the industry. There is space for innovation, and we are - to a certain degree - a relatively conservative industry. An industry where it's sometimes difficult to push the boundaries, so whenever there's a success such as Heavy Rain, it fuels a lot of hope for all the people out there who try to do things differently, and try to expand the market."
