What kind of phenomenon is Heavy Rain?

It always amuses me when people say things like well Cliff B said like it actually means something. If another rockstar dev like David Jaffe came out and said that game fucking sucks would that make it so?

Ontopic, it's a refresh of the classic adventure game and a few fan videos don't really make it a phenomenon (yet).

What, you don't think celebrity developers rule the industry?!
