PS3 - Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer - Heavy Rain delayed because it "needs space"

Quantic Dream co-CEO, Guillaume de Fondaumiere told CVG that the key reason for Heavy Rain's delay from late 2009 to early 2010 was because the game needs "its own release window".

In part two of G4's mammoth interview with Quantic Dream's David Cage from GamesCom 2009, the Heavy Rain creator talks to Billy Berghammer about the developer's creative relationship with Sony, who Cage believes the game's audience will be, and what lies ahead creatively for him and his team.

In terms of how many times players will play through the game, Cage says:
