Upon initial development of Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream planned on utilizing the motion controller for the PS3. In fact – David Cage (CEO of Quantic Dream) even admits that hardware driver code involving the motion controller still exists in the game’s source code. The problem is – Sony won’t be releasing the motion controller peripheral for another year.
“If you are talking about Motion Control, this is something we initially considered for Heavy Rain,” Cage revealed in a Q&A for Dagbladet.no. “The very first version of the game design was based on motion control, but it was not feasible at the time. But all the controls of the final version of ‘Heavy Rain’ is still based on motion.”
He then went on to say “I have a lot of interest in Sony’s motion device and there is a good chance that we announce something about it in the coming weeks”. This is also interesting news as there haven’t been a lot of developer’s announcing anything regarding Project Natal.
