I really don't understand why Sony made a deal with Quantic Dream. QD just develops adventures, a genre practically nonexistent except on PC and DS, and they only made 2 games (both not million-sellers).
Maybe Sony is trying to get Quantic Dream's motion capture tech, but if that was the case then why not go for Crytek's Cry Engine 2 instead?

I'm gonna be dumb and say arthouse cred. Like Disney with Mirimax or Fox with Searchlight. They might want to have alternative games under their mantle not necessarily to make sales, but to cater to the smaller portion of the market that enjoys that type of stuff. By having devs like Team ICO under them and Quantic Dream signing exclusives, they boost their cred: "see? it's not all KZ2 and 3rd person shooters." But what do I know? I can't wait for this game, Indigo Prophecy was one of my favorite games ever.

I believe it stems back from right before E3 2006. Quantic Dream had a PS3 kit and created the Heavy Rain interview session on it. It was intended to simply be something among the development team to get acquanted with the PS3's architecture. Sony saw the video and asked to have it as part of their E3 2006 presentation. I believe after everyone left utterly amazed at the video, Sony threw down money for them. I would have after seeing that video.
I'm trying to piece together different stories into one story, so not everything may be correct.

Well, I am guess I am sort of convinced that Heavy Rain still exists, and sort of convinced that it might be badass because Sony seems to be showing only to select people, and possibly giving it a big showing at some event like Leizpeig.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

wtf
It was shown at E3 behind closed doors, actuall gameplay.
I was going to read that interview after I saw some excerpts in PS3fanboy.com, but it's around 7 pages long. That dude is quite verbose.

It is possible that you may be correct. Perhaps.
