Molyneux's Quite A Fan Of Heavy Rain It Seems.

Whether he's hyping up his own game as the relative second coming of Elvis Presley, or simply stating something ridiculous — the dude's a master of spin. Turns out that in his latest interview with Joystiq he wants to hype a Playstation product, rather than his own. Fair game Mr. Molyneux.

The "visionary" said of Heavy Rain:
[quote]
“I recommend anyone who wants to start to see the first glimpses of the future of video games to go out and buy it.

“But there’s no question in my mind that games like Heavy Rain — games that have a new fidelity in the way that they present their experiences; obviously made with cinematography and motion capture in mind — can really show the way forward to a new form of entertainment, which is evolving the story and choices and consequences.

“But, personally, I could not bring myself to play more than 90 minutes, because the world that was there was so dark and so emotionally involving I felt emotionally beaten up."</blockquote>

Y'know, reviewing Heavy Rain, we can relate. We had to turn it off actually. There are moments in that game where it all gets a bit too "much".
