If you were one of the many who adored Indigo Prophecy, then it's probably been a tough three-year (and counting) wait for Quantic Dream's follow up, Heavy Rain. But according to Quantic president and CEO David Cage, we may not have to wait as long between games in the future -- in our exclusive Heavy Rain interview with Cage (who's also the game's writer and director), he revealed that Quantic has reached the stage where they can have multiple games in development at the same time.
"Quantic Dream's been a single-project company for years. We put a lot of energy and attention in our projects, and we never wanted to compromise the quality," Cage explained.
