Mark Noel from Allegedly Speaking previews the upcoming story driven epic from Quantum Dream. Will this upstart studio's efforts to reinvent storytelling in video games bear fruit?

When it comes to Heavy Rain there are two different types of people: those who think that it’s just a giant quick-time event (more movie than game) and those who understand that it is much more. The latter may or may not have played Quantic Dream’s excellent Indigo Prophecy but the former certainly hasn’t. What this French company is trying to do is reinvent storytelling in the video game medium. With a script of over a thousand pages long, they certainly aren’t slouching in that task. The question will be whether or not their efforts bear fruit or wither and go to waste.
