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?

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.

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.

Not really."

Anyway, this time around a member from Quantic Dream is on hand to give an explanation as to how the game can be played and why Heavy Rain may change the face of the gaming industry for good."
