David Cage: Move Needs More Than Casual Games

By james_fudge

In an interview with GameIndustry.biz Heavy Rain director David Cage says that Sony's Move needs to support a variety of genres to be truly successful and to add any significant amount of length to the PS3's lifecycle. Cage also pointed out that Move has to be about more than just casual games:

"It really depends on the software because the hardware works really well," Cage told GamesIndustry.biz. "If it's only about casual entertainment and casual games I don't think it's going to play a big role in the life of the console. If it can get more support from triple-A titles then that will be interesting."

To be fair, Sony is adding Move support in first-party titles like Killzone 3 and Gran Turismo 5, and Quantic Dream is adding support in Heavy Rain. Heavy Rain owners will have access to a free update when Move is released and the update is ready for public consumption.

Cage added that he expects Heavy Rain to benefit from a increase in sales when the Move compatible version is released later this year, and is happy that Sony is making a patch available to owners of the game for free. Read More
