Cage rules out Heavy Rain sequel

I’m going for an 8.4 metacritic average. You heard it here first

No way, mid 7′s.

Doesn’t really rule out a sequel though, does it? Plenty of sequels feature different characters and stories.

Well Faranheight got a high 80s score so i think could get low 90s

“Cage rules out Heavy Rain sequel”.

Thanks! Finally someone who understands that real art NEVER has sequels.

This doesn’t mean however that we will not see a game with similar mechanics or overall mood-settings from Quantic Dream in the not so distant future.

high 80s i’m going for but personally for me if this is better than fahrenheit then it’ll be in my top 10

also nice to hear for a change something not getting a sequel O_o

Finally someone who understands that real art NEVER has sequels.

Nonsense! Haven’t you seen “The Last Supper 2″ with Jesus and the disciples at the kebab shop after deciding to go out for a ‘swift half before bed’?

Not to mention The Scream 2, 3, 4…

…wait, I’m thinking of something else aren’t I?

I tell you a game that does need a sequel
HOGS OF WAR.

I think the games industry is the only one where sequels are generally better than the original. Being able to re-use your existing engine and just concentrate on optimisation, new levels and extra features means the sequel is often of a higher quality.

Of course there are always exceptions, like PoP Warrior Within…

Erm… Teminator 2, Aliens, TTT/ROTK, Godfather Part 2… Toy story 2?

Maybe not the last one.

I still think Terminator and Alien are better than Terminator 2 and Aliens. So there.

/actually loves all of them

Or DMC 2 which single handedly put me of the DMC games.

@9 fuck yea that game was awesome

A game that is innovative but lacks on some fronts may gets better with sequels but the innovation has worn out by then.
Good example for this: Assassin’s Creed 2. It’s what the first one should have been but it’s lost all the magic of the first one by repeating the formula 2 years later.

a 7 or up, 8.4, or a 9, it wont matter, its aimed for adults who love to watch, solve and get involved with the story line. So I do not think people will look at the score and say Oh its not a HALO score so it sucks.. This is a different kind of cake.

@ NoxNoctisUmbra
Good point. As long as HR is above 7.0 there’s nothing wrong and the game will sell to those who are interested about this kind of experience.

I hate the way the internet works, asking for Heavy Rain 2 when one isnt even out yet. If i was a game dev and was asked that question in an interview on the eve of my game being released, i’d tell ‘em to fuck off and ask me about a sequel ‘once youve completed my game’ atleast.

No doubt the next Quantanic game will have FROM THE STUDIO THAT BOUGHT YOU HEAVY RAIN (and that other game with the mayan internet… and the one before that with david bowie. That one rocked.)

@Human

From the developer’s who bought you ‘That game(ish)/thing with the dead son’ and ‘Mayan internet strikes back’ comes the exciting new thriller… ‘Cry More Sadness O’ Mine’
