Watch Heavy Rain’s Creator Talk About How Gaming Needs To Grow Up
Yesterday at DICE, Heavy Rain and Beyond: Two Souls creator David Cage gave a provocative talk titled “The Peter Pan Syndrome: The Industry That Refused to Grow Up.”
Beyond: Two Souls Is Basically Heavy Rain Meets Ghost Trick

David Cage’s Goal With Heavy Rain Was To ‘Kill Game Over’
Gamasutra currently has a pretty interesting interview with David Cage, where he discusses, among other things, the development of Heavy Rain — its successes, its failures.

But David Cage doesn’t care about any of that.
