Heavy Rain director and visionary David Cage has officially sworn off thrillers, stating that the upcoming PS3 exclusive will be his last title in the genre. The M Night Shyamalan of videogames has claimed that his next project will be something quite different.
“I’m really happy I’ve done so because I wanted to have a very codified genre that I can really play with, I know where the boundaries are, it’s really well defined for me and for everybody and at the same time I can try to play and learn within this space,” explains Cage. “Now I think I’m grown up enough to say, OK, let’s expand the space and try to see what else I can do with what I’ve learned.”
Good. After playing Heavy Rain, I’ve determined that Cage isn’t all that good at writing thrillers. Maybe he could do a buddy comedy next.
