David Cage has stated that he doesn’t intend to makeHeavy Rain2, even though he could potentially score a huge amount of money from a sequel. This is because of something called, “David Cage the brand.” He wishes to sellhimself,rather than his products.
“David Cage the brand, as you call it, is about not having to make sequels,” he said. “It’s about creating a brand that is the name of the creator, notHeavy Rain1, 2, 3, 4, 10, 12. Let me be stupid for one second; I’m not in this business to make money. I wroteHeavy Rainbecause I was excited about it, because there was something to say. Yeah I could makeHeavy Rain 2, but I’ve said what I’ve had to say about it.
“I don’t know what to say. I guess I don’t have a long-term strategy for my career. It’s certainly not to make as much money as possible though. I see myself as an author, really. I just trust my instinct. I think fans of what I do want me to do that too.”
Why does a man who cannot write a good story consider himself an author? Probably for the same reasons he’s always pretending a film director, I guess. Anyway, there will be noHeavy Rainsequel, but you can look forward to the next “David Cage Presents An Interactive Movie By David Cage” very soon!
