Quantic Dream co-founder and co-CEO David Cage, wants to break the conventions of videogames. Much like his last game, Farenheit (known better to U.S. audiences as Indigo Prophecy), Heavy Rain is not meant to be an all-out action brawler with exploding barrels and 1,000 other gaming tropes -- but instead, it's meant to hit you where few games ever do: emotionally.
To find out more about Heavy Rain's development, GameSpy recently met up with Cage at this years Game Developers Conference, grilling him on how and why he created what could be the most emotionally engaging game ever.
