Quantic Dreams COO and Founder David Cage has let slip that Sony is labelling its upcoming thriller Heavy Rain as the “most important” PlayStation 3 release of 2009.
Speaking with VG247 during a demonstration of the game at the Leipzig Games Convention last week, Cage commented, “A risk? I would rather say it’s an opportunity… If you listened to the keynote speech yesterday, David Reeves said this is the most important title for next year. I believe it’s an opportunity to expand the market, also.”
Elsewhere, Cage also stated his belief that the highly anticipated PS3 exclusive offers a means for consumers to get into “traditional” videogames, pointing to the title’s cinematic qualities.
“It’s an opportunity to get people on board with traditional games,” he added. “Everybody likes stories, like characters, likes emotions, and it’s an interesting way to get people playing on PlayStation 3.”

Heavy Rain is just one of titles for the PS3 for '09, plus Killzone 2and others.
theres so many games coming for the ps3 that look amazing!
everything i see of this game just gets me more excited guess i just gotta pass the time till release now:)
wow, ps3 is gonna rock in 2009
It don't think it will be the "Most" important game of 2009. Too hard to deceid with Ico's new gmae (SoTC2 hopefully), Killzone 2, Socom, God of War 3 maybe, Rockstars new game maybe and their LAnoire, possible MAG but thay might push into 2010. Heavy Rain just makes it better.
Many Sony is brainstorming 2009.
I think that the "most important" PS3 title for '09 will be God Of War 3, and I dont think this game will even sell that well much like Indigo Prophecy's last game.
-Heavy Rain most important PS3 title for 09?
-noooooot.
cinematic qualities doesn't mean that game will also play good. God of War III and Killzone 2 most important 09 titles! Especially God of War III.
Everybody here saying its not going to be the game of 09 because of killzone2 is and stuff..... you need to get off of the shooting games. Games that you just shoot people 95% of the time can't be the one that sells the system everytime. Don't get me wrong they are great games, but everyone don't want a whole bunch of killing games. When he say that its the most important game of 09, its because most likely he seen the game play and went deep into it. And the game just might be that deep to him. So wait to say stuff like that

Actually scripting was one of the places most people thought the game shined, it was the pacing at the end that kinda fell a part, most everything else about it showed a greate deal of intelligence.
if this game is the MOST IMPORTANT title in 09 i'm guessin god of war 3 wont be showin up in 09 eh? god of war 3 is sure to top heavy rain
As far as i'm concerned no one game can be the MOST important title for the ps3,cuz that just isn't how we do things on a playstation,though this title is definitely important to diversify the ps3 catalog.
for all of you who are doubting this game, just play "Indigo Prophecy" on PS2. This guys made an excelent game and maybe not your average action/adventure game, but this guys at Quantic Dream know how to emerge you into the story from beggining to end.
I'd say Killzone 2, heavy rain doesn't look all that good imo
This is definitly the game I'm most looking forward to, 2nd is White Knight.
I dont know...you cant really have a "Most anticipated game" simply because people are anticipating different games. From what i have seen of this game and experienced other games by Quantic Dreams, this game is sure to be a must have for 2009. But i can say this: It wont be the only must have.
LOL. ok its one of the only ps3 games to try to use 100% of the ps3's cell processor and true power but that wont truley be tested till Crysis comes out in the 2nd Quarter. But if i had to pick sonys biggest game for 2009 so far killzone2 considering it sonys best first person shooter. It kills halo fans every ambition and tbags the faces. how halo can look so bland and still be considered so great is beond me but thats for another debate. my fellings who ever is on the art design team at bunjie let there kids pick the colors for the game.
psn id: gingo.... 2009 is another massive year for ps3 with so many great ittles coming, i would say this is one of the biggest but i wouldn't say its the single most important
"Heavy Rain "most important" PS3 title for '09, says Sony"......yeahhhh, I think I am gonna have to go ahead and say NO to that....yeahhhhhh....NO!
Sony needs to stop smoking that stuff........right about now good JRPGs are most important in 2009 for the PS3. And as for the most important title why doesn't GOW3 fit the bill huh Sony?
I just started to play indigo prophecy and it is about one of the best over looked games I played. It has me gased up and ready for Heavy Rain
No way, The most important game for 2009 is God of war III.
I think heavy Rain will be great, graphic is perfect and it will have much drama and great story. I'm sick of shooter games like killzone and god of war is repetitive
i could argue and say that god of war three is the most important for 09
RE5 could have been PS3's game of '09 until M$ got their dirty hands on it. I'm really excited for Killzone 2, but I hope it doesn't turn into another Haze type situation!
Concerning Heavy Rain is the game play only about quick time events?? I hope the game has more to it.
I told you this is definitly the game of 2009 for the ps3.
what about gow 3 or uncharted 2 who cares about a game thats designed so stupidly.
