Cage Defends Nightclub Striptease Scene In Heavy Rain



Nothing like a bit of controversy to get the hype going for your title. Quantic Dream's David Cage has defended the striptease scene in Heavy Rain where you get dolled up and perform a striptease on a nightclub owner to lure him away from the club out the back to pull a gun on him:
“It was received in a very interesting way. I think with this game we go from discovery to discovery. We had a couple of people who felt uncomfortable watching the scene, which is perfect because this is exactly what we wanted."

“You can’t pretend to trigger different types of emotions and just focus on adrenaline and fright and competition and frustration. You need to go through different emotions, 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."

“You know, when we thought people would just enjoy getting her naked and have this teenage kind of feel, in fact no, they really felt like they were Madison and they felt very uneasy.”
