David Cage explains Heavy Rain's striptease

by Justin McElroy { Aug 27th 2009 at 1:45PM }

We were personally scandalized by the Heavy Rain scene that featured one of the lead characters, Madison, stripping as a means to gain information. But Quantic Dream's David Cage explained to Eurogamer that it was all part of the plan. "You need to go through different emotions," Cage said, "and showing this scene in particular was for us a test to see if we can make people feel like Madison, having to get naked to do a striptease in front of this ugly guy, and obviously it worked because people felt very uncomfortable."

Cage later added, "Besides, did you see the sales numbers for Indigo Prophecy? Either we added a striptease or space marines with giant guns shaped like John Madden." ... No, no, he didn't say that. But he had to be thinking it, right?

Guns shaped like Madden? Why not a revolver stuffed inside a rifle stuffed inside a rocket launcher?

I'm perfectly fine with a striptease. Can't say I've ever turned one down.

Fahrenheit had 2 interactive sex scenes where you see ass AND boobs. You even got to do the thrusts as the main character. I don't know if that was in every version but it was in the UK version. Rated 15.

Maybe they should have showed more of that to get more sales for the first game.
