Speaking to VideoGamer.com at gamescom last week, Quantic Dream CEO and founder David Cage revealed that there's still much more to be seen from the PS3.

Asked if his PS3 thriller Heavy Rain was pushing the console as far as it can go, Cage replied:

"Well, you need to keep in mind that Heavy Rain is our first title on PS3. It's not the second or third generation of games on the same platform. We've just discovered the platform right now. So yeah, there's plenty of room for improvement I'm sure.

"I've always wanted to write a videogame – it's on my list of things to do before I lose interest in writing videogames. Therefore, I look forward to interviews with the Heavy Rain writer and director David Cage and I'm always keen to listen to his storytelling philosophies. I managed to catch up with him outside the showfloor at gamescom, away from the gunfire and heavy metal that is still ringing in my ears."

NowGamer: David Cage insists that Heavy Rain should not be compared to laserdisc dinosaurs...

David Cage of Quantic Dream is on a mission. It's not a mission to make the most astounding story ever committed to Blu-ray and it's not creating an emotional attachment to the characters of Heavy Rain like nothing you've felt before. As he walked us through some scenes involving the game's newest character Ethan Moss, Cage had only one thing on his mind. "This is not Dragon's Lair!" he insisted.

IGN writes: " One of the most intriguing PlayStation 3 titles on the horizon is Heavy Rain from development studio Quantic Dream. The company, led by founder and CEO David Cage, has made a name for itself by telling genre-pushing adventures and Heavy Rain, with its ultra-realistic graphics and deep storyline, might just take everything to the next level. At the European Game Developers Conference 2009 in Cologne, Germany, Cage philosophized about creating narrative for so-called mature games, explained the challenges that lay ahead and the benefits in store for players.

"I won't reveal anything about Heavy Rain -- I'm sorry about that, I can't," Cage began his keynote speech. The 40-year-old designer, who has operated the 100-person France-based Quantic Dream for about 12 years, said that during the development of Heavy Rain the team expanded to about 200 people with help from outside sources around the world."
