Heavy Rain is a video game created by Quantic Dream exclusively for the PlayStation 3 gaming system. The game is written and directed by Quantic Dream's founder and CEO David Cage.Heavy Rain's story is a dramatic thriller modeled after film noir, featuring four protagonists involved with the mystery of the Origami Killer, a serial killer who uses extended periods of rainfall to drown his victims. Ethan Mars is a father who is trying to save his son from being the next victim, while investigative journalist Madison Paige, FBI profiler Norman Jayden, and private detective Scott Shelby are each trying to track down clues to the Origami Killer's identity.
The player interacts with the game by performing actions highlighted on screen related to motions on the controller, and in some cases, performing a series of quick time events during fast-paced action sequences. The player's decisions and actions during the game will affect the narrative; the main characters can be killed, and certain actions may lead to different scenes and endings. A playable demo was released on 11 February 2010.[10] The demo was released prior to this date for people who took part in a Four Day Challenge on 5 February 2010.A patch to allow use of the PlayStation Move controller to perform the quick time events was released in September 2010.

One of my all time favorite games from 2010, I love how people were comparing this game to Alan Wake and the two were nothing alike lmao. Sadly it didn't get any awards, but that right there shows how all these VGA's are pretty much rigged.

Quantic Dreams Opens Studio of the Future by Game Informer
Today Quantic Dream announced its newly-renovated motion capture studio is open for business. What's so special about it? We're glad you asked.
The Paris-based studio sports 64 optical cameras, which will now allow the studio to simultaneously capture voice acting performances alongside facial and body movements.
"We are very excited about the new possibilities at hand with our new Mocap stage" Quantic Dream's co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière, said. "Capturing actors' complete performance in a single take with high fidelity is essential to render the highly realistic 3D characters people expect nowadays in high-definition games and movies, and that is precisely what our new studio can deliver on."
Considering the quality of Heavy Rain, we're looking forward to seeing rewards of the new studio.
