French game developer Quantic Dream has never made secret its ambitions to bring true narrative meaning to video games. 2005's intriguing Indigo Prophecy (a.k.a. Fahrenheit) expressed the direction that the studio wanted to take, and with the upcoming PlayStation 3 exclusive Heavy Rain, the studio hopes to take its philosophy on narrative and video games even further.

Guillaume de Fondaumiere, co-CEO of the studio, told Gamasutra what he hoped Quantic Dream would accomplish with Heavy Rain. "I think that the most important goal for us is to show that video games can be more than just shooting, driving -- that games can be meaningful," he said.

David Cage: "Why are so many people obsessed with sex?"

PS3 News from N4G | Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer

PS3 - Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer - David Cage: "Why are so many people obsessed with sex?"

GamesThirst: You want to sell something? Then put sex in it; that's the society we live in today, shallow I might add, since life is way more than naked ladies strolling across your TV screen. Especially in video games, some developers carelessly plaster naked women at different points with no tie-in whatsoever as if to say, 'here, that's what you want, then here, indulge.' David Cage feels the same way, and in a recent interview with Eurogamer, he shared his thoughts.

Eurogamer: You said you were not afraid to show nipples. Does that mean you're confirming nipples in Heavy Rain?

PS3 - Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer - David Cage: Games Are Made For Teenagers

NowGamer: Speaking exlusively to NowGamer in part one of our huge in-depth interview with Heavy Rain auteur David Cage, the outspoken director feels that the industry needs to grow up.

The bad guys have to be very baaaaad and the hero has to have big muscles and look fantastic, and the women have to have big boobs and be very sexy because to a teenager, this is what women are."

IGN: David Cage Talks Heavy Rain

PS3 News from N4G | Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer

PS3 - Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer - IGN: David Cage Talks Heavy Rain

He's one of videogaming's most outspoken creators, so excuse IGN for being a little nervous before meeting Quantic Dream's David Cage, the talent behind Fahrenheit (or Indigo Prophecy as it's known Stateside) and the forthcoming Heavy Rain, one of the PlayStation 3's biggest hopes for 2010.

Maybe it's because they caught him before his first coffee, but he's a docile presence when we meet and proves to be an engagingly pleasant interviewee, happily talking about his latest pet project while broadly detailing an entire industry's shortcomings with a charm that undermines any arrogance in his sentiment.

Cage confident of Australian release for Heavy Rain

PS3 News from N4G | Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer

PS3 - Heavy Rain: The Origami Killer - Cage confident of Australian release for Heavy Rain

TVGB: "With PS3-exclusive Heavy Rain set to feature interactive sex and stripping scenes alongside a nice bit of vidjagame violence, it looks likely that the game is headed for a 'Mature' rating. However, as highlighted again recently, the Australian ratings board just don't approve anything intended for an audience above the age of 15. Does that worry the game's creator David Cage? Not really."
